Eggasperated Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Mentioned on the Briche thread that the fan element in my Zanussi oven has just gone; I've been reading how expensive it is to get it replaced and how easy it is to do it yourself - has anyone actually tried it? I watched a you tube video and it looked ok (providing you don't electrocute yourself ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The element went on my Rangemaster last year & my Husband fitted a replacement one with no trouble at all, but he is very handy with stuff like that. The same week the element also went on the Dualit toaster & was also replaced by us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucker1 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I phoned round when I got ours done. Price ranged from £180 (cough splutter!!!) to £79.. including the part, vat and fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 We have a Neff and when ours went, OH found a replacement on the internet and it just plugged in. If you are at all handy then I think it's easy. But if not, phone round for the best deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 We've had a look at the element and have decided to have a go ourselves, so after a lot of looking at part nos and spares have ordered one on the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 We always do our own, we buy the elements on ebay and always have a spare after ours went on Christmas day one year. We get through one every 9 months or so because I bake a lor of bread at high temperatures and the oven gets a lot of use. We have paid £25+ for them from electrical shops but only £8 on ebay, we have a Belling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hubby did mine - I have a Zanussi too - one of the ceramic rings went - we bought one but could not replace it but got a domestic engineer to do it - so now we know how to the next time - he was really cheap and good.

Eggasperated Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Well the element arrived but despite saying it was a genuine Zanussi part for my oven it had a different number of fixings , so it has to go back. But we are getting braver at mending things as we have managed to change the ceramic cartridge in our mixer tap that was dripping . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
