OK, element has blown again, must be the fourth or fifth time. They seem to last around 4-5 months. I’ve just ordered another, this time from the UK White Goods store. Could there be an underlying problem that is causing the elements to keep failing? I noticed there was an 1800 watt option so I went for that, could it be that previous elements I used were only 1700 watt?
Thanks, I tried all that, no luck. I actually contacted Currys who sent a guy the other day – he replaced the main front panel board and another in the back, all for a fixed fee. Bargain.
I called Samsung support and they gave me contact details for a service company that’s 50 miles away.
I found something on another site that mentioned the door’s top flap internal wiring being damaged over time, but it was for a different model.
The first replacement was a genuine element (which lasted around two years), the second and third are I believe cheaper alternatives.
Element now replaced. So it was the elementy that blew – in two places, eather side of the element near to where it goes into the back of the oven. Any ideas why the element blew? I only installed it back in October 2024. This is I think the third time I’ve replaced it.
ps – I have a new element arriving tomorrow – will I be OK replacing it and switching the oven back on?
Just the main oven at the bottom was on at the time, and had just a few minutes cooking time left on some croissants. The fusebox feeds only the oven and the hob, and the hob wasn’t on at the time. I just looked at the fusebox switch for the cooker circuit that was tripped and it’s named B40 at the top of the switch (ON) and NSB40 at the bottom (OFF).
Not sure what an RCD is?
I’ve now replaced the main element three times over the past few years. The main oven usually just stops working when it fails, but this is the first time it has tripped the main cooker fuse. There was a bit of smoke when I opened the oven door, not sure if it was due to oven grime or something short-circuiting.
The main fusebox blew (with a bang) which feeds the oven. I checked the oven and couldn’t see any obvious signs of what caused the fuse to blow.
I put another new element in last October (2024) and it’s been working fine until today. Was cooking some croissants and the the wall mounted fusebox oven circuit fuse blew. I’ve looked at the element and I can’t see any signs that this was the cause. I’ve also opened the back up and can’t see any obvious signs of what could have happened.
I’m now worried about switching the oven circuit fusebox back on. Any suggestions? Thanks.
