Default NEFF Built-in oven

Yeah - we inherited this Neff when we moved house. I expected great things
because they're such a big posh name, but it's nothing special.

That's how we got ours, I don;t know why we put up with it for such a
long time.


Actually if it is just the element then it may not be all that
expensive and you may be able to get it from a supplier other than
Neff (which will be cheaper).

I'll have a bit of a take it to bits session and see what I find. If it is
the element, will it be obvious? How do I test whether an element is
knacked. Will it fail a continuity test?

Yes, should measure something less than 100 ohms which most continuity
testers will see as 'continuous'.
24 ohms, 10 amps, 2.4kW
50 ohms, 5 amps, 1.2kW
(approximately, I know these figures aren't exactly right but they
give the sort of resistance figure you should expect)
