Default Link to Bosch oven circuit diagram anyone?

Hi all,

After some searching I have been able to get a replacement oven bottom
element for our Bosch HBN6450GB/02 cooker.

It turns out that the replacement is of a sturdier design than the original,
which looks promising, but a closer look at the spec leaves me a little
puzzled, and I hope the experienced among you can explain.

Bosch site's exploded diagrams seem to leave out the electrics, otherwise,
perhaps I wouldn't need to ask...

The assembly has an inner and outer ring, and four contacts in a line. Wires
are white; red; brown; orange, and were originally connected in that order
looking from the back of the oven.

What is confusing is that the inner ring is marked as 86/75V, but when I
check the leads, they seem to be 250V throughout.

Have I got another problem elsewhere that has upped my 75V contacts, or is
there some peculiarity of this particular model, that lets it run above the
element rating?

For some time before the final failure of the old element - the inner, '75V'
ring being the one that failed - the oven had had the very irritating habit
of 'resetting itself to 150 deg'. 150 on the display is where it rests even
with no element, so presumably it just meant the circuit was intermittently
going open as the element deteriorated.

Anyone know where a DIYer can get a look at the necessary diagrams or
service manual?

Much obliged for any light the experienced here can throw on this situation.

Cheers,

S

The markings you have found will not be voltage ratings. They are some
other marking.

The elements will operate from standard 240v AC.

Just replace the wires in the same sequence ( so the same wires connect to
the outer element, and the same ones to the inner element. )

The issue with the 150 degrees is likely a seperate issue.

Thanks Ron, that's more reassuring than what I was getting from the rather
cagy engineers on the UKWhitegoods forum.

I have found, after entering the part number in Google, the following link
for the German part's description:
http://www.wecomp.com/Ersatzteilkata...tze_802947.htm

And, in case you miss the link on that page, here is the link they provide
for the details of the original piece:
http://www.wecomp.com/Ersatzteilkata...0_W_802935.htm

This is an admirably well sorted web site, but, not being a German reader, I
have not found any links to circuit diags of the ovens themselves. However,
you can see what I mean about the voltage indications for the inner rings.
If they do not mean that the inner ones are meant to operate at a lower
voltage, what is your interpretation of what they mean exactly?

Even if you don't know the answer, I think you will find the site
interesting!

Many thanks,

Steve.

Putting the URL into http://babelfish.altavista.com/ does a reasonable
job of translating the web page from German to English.

Especially since the outer ring is marked 230V which is the standard
European mains voltage these days, it's hard to think that the inner
ring marking of 75/86V is not a voltage rating. Perhaps it's connected
in series with other elements in the oven, which would explain why you
still measure full mains voltage across the leads without the element
connected, although that's just a guess.

Thanks for the tip; and the idea sounds a possibility.
Really a pain not being able to find a wiring diagram!

Cheers,

Update: SOLVED,

Cheers for helping point the way Rich and Ron.
Other tips from a friend included trying making up loads with tungsten light
bulbs.
4 in parallel of which, turned out to be roughly 10ohm for the inner ring,
and 1 x 60w approximated to the 60 odd ohm of the outer one.

After checking that the voltage did drop across the inner ring - which did
turn out to be in series with the grill element - , but only to 140v, I then
moved up to putting a kettle in place of each element in turn. Where upon
the volts dropped further to 100 odd on the inner connection. Thus assured
of no serious risks in hooking up the new element assembly, it was
connected, and ran with the indicated 75V - very satisfying.

Had I thought of this latter method in the first place, it would have been
much easier, as it is obvious, if you use the same level of cold water in
the kettle prior to each test, that the one that boils the kettle quickest
is the one that maintains the highest voltage in use.

This little conundrum might have been easier to solve without the peculiar
colour choices for Bosch wires: the mains live for example, is, inside the
machine, joined to BLACK!

And, try as I might, I could find no reason for one element having a red
'live' and the other, orange.

It also turned out that there was a loose spring in one of the multiswitch's
contacts, which had been causing a secondary intermittent problem with the
read out for the grill, so it was quite a useful exercise to have had to
look more deeply into this than when I first thought of the '15 minute job'
changing the element!

Many thanks to all who replied.
