Built under oven replacement. Electric. Help!

Fabulouso

Hello
I had a neff built under oven but its broken. My new oven is being delivered today and they wanted £90 to fit it? I was told it was straight forward to replace electric ovens but now I'm worrying.
Any advice? How straight forward is it? THankyou

Yes it's a simple job. You're paying for someone to fit it - so tere should be no problems.

Sorry I didn't put that very well! I didn't pay the £90 as I was told it was simple. But now I'm worried.

I had a new electric oven put in a few weeks ago, it was in a 600 base unit.

Fitters took out the old one by unscrewing 2 screws each side of the inner oven frame, pulled it out, unplugged it from the wall. Plugged the new one in, shoved it in the unit and screwed in 2 screws each side. Turned it on, took a photo, and went.

guess it will depend on the power rating of the oven - some may need wiring into the supply rather than a straightforward plug that some might have.

So the difficulty depends on what you are going from & to.. soon know if do it DIY and the wiring gets overloaded..

I'd much rather pay £90 & know it had been fitted properly & safely than risk spending good money on a new oven only to find it needs to be hard wired in, which in my experience most Neff ovens need.

Google the model number and look at the insturctions x


That will sort it. if it does need hard wiring, just get in touch with a local electrician.

Looking on the Neff site I suspect both the previous and the new one are both hard wired in given their max current consumption. Fairly straght forward job to change if you are happy doing that kind of job. I think £90 is a bit steep though. Can I ask what was wrong with the oven? A common fault is that the element goes so it doesn't heat up. I've recently replaced mine in a Beko cooker for less than £20. I was originally going to buy a new cooker but this was a lot cheaper.
