Zanussi oven zbf 360 + bulb blows repeatedly

Heating element is probably shot. Turn it on....does the element glow orange????

Your fan is catching the element which has distorted with heat

Hi intial problem will probably be a faulty heating element locatated behind the panel at the back. the zbf260 has no clock but if its a zbf 360 set the clock before the oven will function. otherwise the fault has damaged another component on the oven. which can be in order of most likley.fuse if on 13a supply/ thermostat/ selectorswitch/ thermal cutout/jw

If you cannot hear the fan going, then it is possible the fan is faulty, and the element has probably failed as well.
Both these components can be accessed by removing the panel at the rear of the oven compartment

You will find some very helpful videos on how to do this by going to the following site.

WWW.YOUTUBE.CO.UK

In the search box enter--- CLEANING OVEN DOOR GLASS or REPLACING OVEN DOOR GLASS,
You should be able to get all the imformatoin you need here.

after isolating electric. remove oven from housing ( 2 or 4 screws) remove back of appliance to access retaining nuts .( disconnect wires noting terminal position). grill is fixed to roof of oven with screws remove these and take out grill. refit in reverse order remember to reconnect wires .

Probably due to a fault on the oven heating element. Check continuity and earth with a multimeter if you can but it's odds on you will need a new heating element.

Open the door half way, grasp it firmly and pull as hard as required using a slight side to side motion to release the hinges which are attached to the door.

There are then to nuts on the bottom of the door which when removed allows you to split the door in half.

The hinges have a little lever on them such that they can be jammed open against the door. Once the hinge hook is in the oven housing simply turn the latch the other way, stand back and have a beer.

Gently but firmly pull one of the other buttons out and use that to reset it... you can buy new buttons on ebay

Hi this is propably too late now but we moved in to our new house six months ago and have a Zanussi ZBF 360 oven, and had no idea how to set the timer / clock. After fiddling around with the oven clock for the last 6 months i managed to set the clock. It shouldn't be much different to the one you have. Hope this helps you and others in the future.

Click the middle button until the little red things on the screen moved round to the clock symbol, then press + or - to get to the correct time, once you have done this it will flash for a few seconds then it will stop flashing and the clock is set. The same goes for the timer to set it when you want to cook something for a period of time eg: ten mins.

As for getting the oven timer to turn it's self on and off I am still messing with it and when i have mastered it I will let people know.
