Neff fan oven dead. Where do I look next? I've

Neff U1721 fan oven dead. Where do I look next to trace the fault? I've replaced the blown element and replaced the blown thermostat which is located on the the fan panel. I removed the fan motor and bench tested it which runs perfectly when power applied. All wires look clean and not burnt. What component should I next test or replace? Is it possible for the control panel circuit board to have been damaged when the element burnt out? Thanks in advance for your help and advice, robert

This could all so be the timer For all Free appliance repair videos visit our VIDEOTUTORIALS Nefffan oven element video1, If the fan motor in the back of the oven is going round andthe temperature light is on (normally little red light), but there is no heatthen you will probably need a new oven element, these are generally very easyto fit and readily available from our website these can be tested with aelectric meter.
To gain access to the NEFF element you willhave to remove the back plate from inside the oven. Once removed you will seethe fan and element, if youlook closely at the element you willprobably see a small hole burnt in it where it has blown. Sometimes howeverthere is no evidence of a fault but the element is open circuit ie:broken inside the element casing, either way it will need replacing. Someelements will are fixed from inside the oven and some are held in place by nutsfrom the rear of the machine.
2, If your NEFF fanoven is getting warm but takes a very long time to cook or is burning the foodmore on one side than the other, then you need to check if your oven fan motor is working you willsee the blade turning fast if it is ok. if the element is heating but the fan motor is not blowing the heat into the oven thenyou need To replace the oven fan motor is a little moreexpensive and a bit more involved.
3. If you have the opposite problem ie: your oven is over heatingand burning everything then you will need to replace your NEFF oven thermostat
4, A quite common and easily overlooked answer is if your NEFF oven is not working at all ie: noheat and no fan then the chances are that someone has put the oven timer into AUTO mode,simply put oven back to MANUAL mode and all should be working again.

You first of all need to determine if you have got power to the oven.
Locate the point where the mains cable enters the oven, and remove the terminal cover, and test for voltage there.
If voltage present, then it could well be the main circuit board is faulty
It may not be obvious what part is faulty, but you must jhave a meter to check through the circuits.
Hope this helps.

My Neff U1721 bottom oven has just stopped working - the fan still works, although is a bit noisy - what could be the problem/

Sound like the element has burnt out but if your fan is also noisy it is probley running slow which may have caused the element to overheat and burn out so it would be a good idea to replace the element and the fan motor

Hi - have a Neff U1721 double oven, the element in main oven went bang cracked the element and blow a hole in fan cover. replaced the element but now temp light comes on but doesn't heat up, can you...

Test element check for continuity across the terminals and it is getting power when switch onon. If both ok, chances are the front selector switch has blown.

Neff U1721 repeatedly trips RCD. Have replaced lower element 4 times in last 18 months am I likely to have an underlying earth fault, or are "cheap" elements more prone to failure

Sounds more like the power supplying the oven is at fault. Need to make sure that all power is correct from stove to box. Very unusual for that many elements to be going bad.

The bottom (fan oven) of my Neff U1721 made soft bang noise and failed. The fan stopped, the oven light went out and the thermostat light. I replaced the burnt out heating with a new element with a 32.5...

The power to the fan and thermostat is the fault. You will need to trace wiring from these elements to power source and I suspect that where the power cord meets the oven is where you'll find the cause.

Unable to remove the fan blade on the neff u1721 oven (too tight)

The nut is a left hand thread, so unscrew it clockwise to release it, hold fan blade as you are doing this. Tighten anti- clockwise.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

After effects of blown fan oven element on U1721

3rd blown element

no connection between lights on fan. problem is that bulbs these days are poor quality (but cheap)
it is common for these circular elements to go. usually last about 2 years. worth checking tho that fan is turning at right speed
