    Re: Neff fan oven ‘eating’ elements

    Last element, which lasted ten months, ebay, previous one, which lasted nineteen months, UKWhitegoods. The element glows red when heating. Is this right?

    Now I think I’ve fixed it – for the benefit of anyone else with the same problem: the blockage was outside of the machine where the waste goes into the sink trap, the male barbed fitting that pushes into the waste pipe was totally plugged with fluff and debris.

    Thanks Martin. Found a bra wire in the sump hose, obstructing the ping-pong ball. That’ll be it then? I hope.

    I’ve just ran the rinse program – cold fill and rise was normal but the the drain pump started. Normally there’s a gush of water but now it sounds like a trickle and the level in the drum is only falling very slowly.

    Then I tried the spin program – water level must have already been quite low, pump started, same trickle of water, then timed out to flashing end light with no spin.

    Should I be looking for a blockage, or a defective motor?

    Now my wife tells me that it works perfectly if she doesn’t use the quickwash option. Problem solved – I asked her to stop using quickwash!

    (sounds like a controller fault doesn’t it)

    Selector is moved clockwise from 30degC, to rinse, without going to “off”. It is heating.

    Re: Black, sticky stuff?

    Yes, it is like tar. Strangely, you can go months without any leaking, then there’ll be a big puddle of it. I shouldn’t complain – the machine is 25 years old!

    Re: Cooker element – repeated failure – why?

    That would explain it. The original fan motor failed and I replaced it with a much cheaper Creda fan. Would it have made a difference if I’d used the proper Neff part?

    bonzaco, thanks very much for your offer of help with an air stat. Unfortunatly, I’ve just won this ebay auction:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? … 7608218143

    Even though it was only £2.90, I feel inclined to try this now I’ve bought it! I hope it comes with instructions!

    mmm……I think at that price I’ll see how I get on leaving the bulb naked for the time being. Thanks for your help once again, Dave.

    Installed the new bits (espares took ‘kin ages to supply their overpriced hinges). Huge inprovement – heats up quicker, cooks things 30{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} quicker. No change in fan noise when pressing againt the door, so the new springs are holding it tightly closed.
