Neff u1721fan oven element has been replaced 3 times in two months

If you are not fitting genuine
elements, this is probably the reason they are failing so quickly.
You will pay a lot more for the genuine article, but they will last a lot longer.
Also make sure the fan is working o/k, as this can cause premature element failure.
please rate my solution.
Thanks.

Once removed you will see the fan and element, if you look closely at the element you will probably see a small hole burnt in it where it has blown.

Hi, The main problem I find with this fault is the fan element has blown. This usually cannot be seen without taking the fan cover off inside the oven. Thanks.

put test bulb on the two wires going to fan heating element,that will tell all,if bulb lights,its the fan element that needs to be replaced!good luck!!
