i have had 3 elements for my Neff oven U1721N2gB/05 in the last two years is this normal.

I have had them fitted and they do not seem to last longer than 6 months - a year and blow all the plug sockets when break down. Could it be another fault causing this problem.

  • One thing that I ALWAYS do is to let the fan continue to run for a few minutes with the door open to cool the element, same thing I do with the turbo on the car, to cool the unit down. It seems to have worked as the element has been ok for 3-4 years. PS The electrician who replaced the previous element said that some of these elements have got damp and then fail after a few days/weeks as the dampness turns to steam and blows a hole in the element.

  • Oven cleaner that gets on the element behind the cover corrodes the element causing it to fail,be carefull when cleaning the oven not to spray the rear panel. By King Rik - East Grinstead - 18 February 2012

    Hi Angie102a, another potential cause to this problem could be an incorrect current going through the element - although usually a fuse would blow before the element can. I'd advise talking to an electrician on this one.
