Neff 1721 0ven element not working??

The element had burnt out and blew the fuse, I have replaced the element with an expensive genuine part and attached the 2nr wires and re-installed. Prior to fitting the fan and backplates etc I tried the oven to see if the element would work. Light worked, fan worked but the element did not heat up?? Any suggestions!! Steve

Did you replace both fuses, if its a 240 volt element check the other fuse on the other leg of input power/120 volts + 120 volts = 240 volts

Have had 4 Neff oven elements in 2 years, why does this keep happening ? B14241 single oven element keeps blowing, grill and light are fine, any ideas please ? is it time for a new oven ?

If you are not fitting genuine
elements, this is probably the reason they are failing so quickly.
You will pay a lot more for the genuine article, but they will last a lot longer.
Also make sure the fan is working o/k, as this can cause premature element failure.
please rate my solution.
Thanks.
