Hello All,

just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this scenario :

I bought a Neff B1641 oven new in 2000, no problems until this year when the
fan ring element went (all melted in one area, no heat). So forked out £35
for a replacement direct from Neff (next day service , good). All's well
for a couple of months then no heat again .... after inspection (nothing
obvious this time) but open circuit on testing. So another replacement
element obtained and all's well again for another couple of months and guess
what.... it's gone again all melted this time.

Before I install another one, have I just been unlucky or could there be
some underlying fault here ....3 elements in less than a year sounds strange
to me......any ideas?

BTW this oven is a hydro clean one which I clean fairly regularly 5-6 times
a year. I just use fairy liquid in the water I put in the base to heat up.
Could using this system be a problem?

Thx

Dave W
