‘Economical with the truth’. That’s what you call it, is it? 😯
Let’s hope that guy never gets on to this thread somehow 🙁

Roly will tell us that the new one ran for 5 minutes then went “pop”.
Chris.
Not quite that bad. The fan came off easily because the old element (Connect) had only been on for 5 months. The one before that (Qualtex) had only been on for 1 month. 😥
Re: Neff fan oven elements
Well, I don’t know anything about that sort of stuff but here’s the good news:
The fan came off easily.
Re: Neff fan oven elements
I fitted one of these elements today and have some good news and some bad news for you. Which do you want first?
Re: Fixing somebody else’s mess
Hammertime got the quotation marks wrong but his point was correct. He was quoting spimps from further back in his first sentence (that ‘you can’t change a wash pump from the side’) and was then making the point that you can if it’s a BSH dishwasher.
Hope that clears up the confusion Martin. 😯
If anyone else has any confusion they’d like clarifying please le me know.

Not the thermostat? Phone your friend.
A Pressurise with OFN to leak test, find leak and if possible repair leak, evacuate system and regas.
B Very often a thermostat. On older apppliances where a heater is fitted behind the evap, when the thermostat goes o/c (corrosion leads to gas in thermostat capillary leaking out) heater is energised full time, leading to heat.
Could also be PTC/Relay or compressor.
C does not make any sense!
Do you mean if the compressor is cold?
Yes, just realised my comments b and c were ambiguous. B should have said that if the motor’s hot and not running scrap the appliance, and c should have said if the motor’s cold and not running check the thermostat.

The other thing i have found on occasions is Cleaning products (if they clean em)? 😳
When a customer goes mad and do a yearly clean usually just before christmas. They spray mr XXX everywhere, but foget to take the liners off or protect the element.
IMO these cleaning products cause premature failure.
You can tell the ones who do use it as when you remove the rear covers there a white slimey streaks all over. :rolls:Steven
I’ve found that some cleaning products cause the screws to seize up.
