My NEFF fan assist oven will switch on as normal and after 5 mins it trips out at the main electric panel. I can use my grill / top oven normally. Is this caused by a faulty element or is it another fault ?

The oven element was replaced in Jan. 2013

  • i agree with chris at espares - most likely the element, but, it is NOT necessary to have the expense of a replacement element to prove this. this should be proved by competent electrician using suitable insulation tester on the suspect element. i have also found several thermostats or simmerstats which use a neutral connection and are not just a switch live connection that can also give a tripping fault.

    Re Scott's input, thanks for your comments but it is not usual for the thermostat to cause this problem. However some elements that have not been used for a while will absorb a little moisture from the atmosphere causing electrical leakage and tripping. However if the element is heated up it can clear this moisture and resolve the problem.

  • I had the exact same issue. we replaced the thermostat and no more problems. did not replace the element. By scott - london - 01 August 2014

    The most likely cause is a failing element but it may be necessary to replace it to prove this is the fault.
