[Help] Another Problem

[BensGrandad]

We have a Hotpoint Ultimate Cooker with fan assisted oven and the fan needed replacing. We bought one from E Spares and son fitted it. However it doesnt work so son wants to check the wiring is correct. Anybody know how I can obtain or down load a wiring diagram or would standard electrician be able to find the problem? E spares do not have them so suggested I contact Hotpoint who were as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.

Hot point say that is not available but they will send an engineer out the cost being £135.

I have tried google but my PC will not allow any of the sites to be accessible.

Any advice would be gratefully received as again google has mixed reaction and views as to whether the oven can be used with the fan not working.

Probably some dodgy wiring in the Kitchen.

 

[BensGrandad]

No its been rewired. The oven heats up and cuts out at the required temperature but the fan doesnt kick in to assist it.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Just a thought but wouldn't a Corgi registered fitter be able to help?

Stop doing it on the cheap. Your son obviously isn't up to the task. Pay a professional.

Sounds like you've brought a fan for a Hotpoint Ulimate Cooker rather than the required Hotpoint Ultimata Cooker fan

Maybe he just wants his inheritance?

If he witters on at home like he does on here I can understand the desire to just get him to shut the **** up.

£135 is nothing in this day and age for peace of mind

This.


However, before you went out and bought a new fan, did you put your voltage tester across the fan-connector terminals to establish if it was a supply failure or a fan failure?
[yes I know you've confirmed the cooker heating element is working]

You really ought to be old enough now to know the truth in the saying: "Yer pays for yer learning!"
Trying to fix some things yourself these days is "false economy".

Oh, last point, is your son a qualified electrician?

Could be why he’s also doing the wiring making sure he gets it a little quicker

Plug one of these in..just behind the fridge freezer and stick it in front of the oven door ..only a tenner

It is to a pensioner. Son took a photo before removing the old one and then put the wires back as they were but wanted to check via wiring diagram that he hadnt put one on wrong. His mate is an electrician and he is coming to have a look hence my asking would a standard electrician be able to sort out the fault, with the meters he has available to use.
