Creda oven not heating up.
Engineers repair comments.
On inspection of the customer C361 Creda oven i switch the main oven on to test for heat and circulation of air via the circulating fan motor, the fan 
was running at the correct speed but there was no heat, i removed the internal back panel from inside the main oven cavity and could see that the element had broken because on one side of the oven element there was a fizzle and burn markings. I removed the old Creda oven element by unscrewing the screw that holds the element to the inside of the oven, pulling the element slowly towards me and then removed the two spade terminals from the element and changing over the element to a new Creda cooker spare part, by plugged in the two wires on spade teminals then putting the element back in postion, refitting the element screw and the back panel, then tested the Creda cooker, all tested ok.

Customer Enquiry
My neff cooker does not get hot and there also appears to a covering of white powder in the oven compartment, do you stock any parts to fit neff ovens and is it likley to be the element, the model number i have is U1721W0GB/02
Reply
Yes we stock a large range of oven spares and elements, There is a good chance that the element has failed, the covering of white substance is from the inside the element metal covering which has insulation properties for the element coil inside this covering, Close inspection of the element should show damage to the external covering where the element has failed
Most neff oven fan elements can be changed from the front of the oven by removing the backplate inside the oven and the fixing screws holding the element which is fitted round the oven fan motor blade to rear box of the oven there will be leads attached to this element so be careful when removing so as to pull through these leads other wise it will mean removing the oven from the unit to be able to reconnect.

Fan Oven Spare Parts

Fan Ovens - Built-In or Free Standing
The heating element which produces the heat to maintain a cooking temperature in an oven is installed in the rear of a oven box in a circular form around the oven fan blade which distributes the hot air round the oven to produce an even cooking temperature over the whole of the oven with cooking times being reduced in a fan oven
The oven fan motor should turn all the while the oven is turned on, failure of the oven fan to turn at full speed will result in poor cooking results and can cause the element to fail
Power to the oven elements is controlled either mechanically by turning a temperture dial or thermostat contol or electronically by a timer control panel. When an oven fails to come on you should always first check the auto clock to ensure this is set correctly, needs to be on a manual setting for the oven to come on
Oven fan elements have a fairly high rate of failure and will often cause the electrical supply to trip or to blow a fuse, failure is also sometimes accompanied by a covering of white powder substance over the oven caused by a split in the metal covering of the element
Most elements are fitted from inside the oven compartment and can reached by removing the covering plate from back of the compartment, however some elements are retained to the rear of the oven by threaded studs from the element bracket and retained by nuts which means the element is only removable by access to the rear of the oven box
Changing an element or fan motor should only be undertaken by a qualified
or competent person with the electric supply disconnected

How can i fix the inner glass panel to my oven door
Reply
You need to remove the oven door from the cooker, the oven door can then be separated by removing screws either or both along the bottom of the door and those that hold the door handle, remove the old sealant (which may look like a rubber gasket) and clean both the oven door and the glass, Apply and even bead of the High performance heat resitant 300 deg sealant , Apply even pressure to the glass and place a weight on the glass until the sealant cures ( normally about 3-4 hours) , re-assemble the door back together and refit back onto the oven
