disconnect the other wire, insulate it
then turn on and see if fan running

if no its just the stat you have broken and you need a new one

Dave

Yeah, looks like it. I didn’t even get to the stage of removing the wire before it fell apart in my hands! Possibly may have weakened it when removing it to replace the previous element.

Anyhow, I removed the black wire, and the fan has stopped running. Something beyond a new thermostat, you think?

Cheers,
Nick

first thing to try
the thermostat to the right of element on the pics. Disconnect one wire and tape it up to stop shorting error
then turn on and see if fan runs and let me know

Dave

Thanks again. Slight issue when I went to detach the thermostat wire, though. The light-coloured plastic part (https://imgur.com/Y03ejSR) had come free of the metal housing on its own, possible due the clips being bent outwards a little (https://imgur.com/arwQKOv). Also, I believe two objects dropped out of it, though I didn’t see them actually do so – a thin silver disc (a contact of some kind?) and something that looks a little like a transistor (https://imgur.com/7ZBPCyE). Any idea what I should do with those, if they are part of it?

did you take a photo of the wires and not mix up the black and orange wires ?

Dave

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply.

The PNC is 949712893-04, and here’s a photo of the information plate in case anything else is useful: https://imgur.com/KazHS43

I believe I connected things back up ok – here’s the photo I took before removing the old element for comparison: https://imgur.com/XkamcZs . The only thing different is that the new element doesn’t have a middle terminal for the earth wire, but the crimp ring also on that same wire I left in place on the left hand bolt.
