Re: NEFF U1661 Main oven problems
Do you mean there were two cables , one for each terminal on the rear of the element ?
If i remember correctly , there’s more than 2 cables . One may have come off as you drew the element forward .If thats not the case then , as Simon says , it may be time for an engineer
Removed rear cover and found disconnected wire, exactly as you had thought. However, on reconnection the fan stopped working.
There are two sets of connections with white / red wires and one set with white / black wires. I assumed (often a dangerous thing to do) that the white / red wires would be connected to the same terminal on the element, is this correct?

Did you replace the rear element from inside the oven cavity ? These elements sometimes have more than one connection on the element connections and these can get pulled off when removing the old element .
Yes, it was accesible from inside the oven. It had two connections which were replaced on the same terminals on the new element and I’m pretty sure they were secure when inserted back through the oven back plate.
Re: NEFF U1661 Main oven problems
Anyone got any other suggestions as to the source of the problem?
Has anyone contacted NEFF in the past for technical assistances and if so, were they helpful?
Re: NEFF U1661 Main oven problems
you say the old element looked knackered but did you test it with a meter to test continuity?
No, I didn’t test it, but the element had partially crumbled away at the lowest point.
Also, I wasn’t aware of it going ‘bang’. It simply worked before and then switching the oven on the next time, it didn’t.
The house is quite modern and has an RCD consumer unit, but that didn’t trip out.
Thanks for the replies
