Hi Dave,
As you predicted the other thermostat was in the door. I removed this, tested it and that worked too. So I put everything back together and decided to try the dw out, and it seems to be working fine now. I’ve got no explanation for that unless there was a dodgy contact that is now working. We’ll keep an eye on it and see how it goes.
Thanks for the tips !
Regards
TonyHi Dave,
I popped around and measured the element at 21.9 ohms which looks about correct for a 2.5kW element.
BTW the pnc I quoted above was missing a digit it’s 91186103600.I took out the thermostat that is clipped to the steel bottom of the dishwasher washing chamber next to the heating element, and that shows a short at room temp, and opens if I put the metal case in hot water so that looks to be working fine. I couldn’t spot a second thermostat though ? Where might this be ?
Regards
TonyHi, sorry for delay in replying.
The numbers on the dw are
Product no 91181036
Type 91181-1A
The main reason to suspect the element is the machine is not heating up and is cold at the end of a cycle.
Today I did a quick check on the element and it is not open circuit, though i didn’t have my ohmmeter handy to check actual resistance. I’ll do that later this week. But maybe not that then. I presume there is a thermostat that measures water temp to cut off the heater when temp has been reached, so this could be faulty ?
Regards
TonyThanks, spot on. Somehow a small sports sock had found it’s way from the drum all the way through the sump hose almost to the pump inlet.
All seems fine now after giving the sump hose a good clean.The other symptom I forgot to mention is that even though the drum has plenty of water inside hardly any water comes out when you remove the filter cover, I’d expect the drum water to drain down through the filter.
Re: NEFF: U1661NOGB/02 FD 8201 Oven Temperature Low
The lower oven control has a fan mode position with max temp of 190C, or a convection oven position, where the max temperature is 270C. I haven”t found an indicator that the oven has reached the set temperture, which would help check if the thermostat was working or not.
TonyRe: NEFF: U1661NOGB/02 FD 8201 Oven Temperature Low
According to the breakdown on the Neff spares website, this model has an element around the fan, and one underneath the floor of the oven. I suspect maybe one has stopped working as it seems much worse recently.

Hi Martin,
The thermostat is obviously working to some extent as the temperature is controlled so it must open/close and control the power to the elements, but is just doing that at the wrong temperatures. Can they fail in such a way ?
Thanks

Hi,
I sent an mail to the spares email about the hinge part numbers but it was rejected as my isp is on a blacklist I think. So I’m asking via this post instead.
Regarding https://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/267845-oven-door-hinge referred to above.
I did a check on the Neff spares parts site oven diagrams and the hinges seem to be handed (00267845, 00481568)
Is the hinge shown on your site correct and suitable for both right and left hand hinge locations ?
Thanks
TonyRe: NEFF: U1661NOGB/02 FD 8201 Oven Door not shutting tight
I can see the door isn’t quite closing properly, I can push it closed another mm or so before the seal is tight against the door. Sounds like a pair of hinges is required !
ThanksRe: NEFF: U1661NOGB/02 FD 8201 Oven Door not shutting tight
Is there any way to identify whether it is the hinges themselves or the receiver ? The neff parts drawings implied the hinge sits inside the oven door itself, and the hinge receiver is inside the body of the oven ?
Thanks
