Belling Fan oven repair  

Before examining or investigating any failure or malfunction of any electrical appliance it must first be isolated (disconnected) from the electricity supply. 

Fault: - Oven dead 

Very often people call out a Domestic appliance engineers and are then faced with the cost of a call out charge for his time only to be told that there is nothing wrong with their cooker. What has happened? 

 Usually one of two things. 

(1) Has the clock been inadvertently been taken of manual? 

(2) The clock been set to the incorrect correct time and thinks it is not time to turn on?  

(3) If for any reason the power supply to the appliance has disrupted the clock will need to  be reset before cooker will operate.  

If after checking for the above the oven is still dead.  

The appliance needs to be examined by a suitable qualified person.  

What faults a domestic appliance engineer would look for:- 

• Tripped Residual current device (RCB)    ( Appliance earth leaking)  
•   Tripped Miniature circuit breaker (MCB)   (Dead short on appliance)  

First of all engineer would do an earth leakage test on full appliance. (Called high ohm test) and (low reading ohm test (continuity test)) between the conductors. 

Oven completely dead. 

• Engineer would check for faulty control selector switch or pcb board (dependant on model) ……. Repair: - Engineer would replace pcb or switch  
• Engineer would check for faulty variable thermostat (dependant on model) ……. Repair: - Engineer would replace variable thermostat  
• Engineer would check for faulty timer……. Repair: - Engineer would replace timer.  

Oven does not heat, but still fan runs.

• Engineer would check for faulty fan element……. Repair: - Engineer would replace element.*  

*Engineer would check fan speed before fitting new element, as partly seized up or faulty fan could have caused element failure. 

Fan not running. 

• Engineer would check for faulty fan motor……. Repair: - Engineer would replace fan motor.  
• Engineer would check fan motor circuits in switches or pcb (dependant on model)…….Repair: - Engineer would replace switch or pcb  

Fan noisy 

• Engineer would check for faulty fan motor (bearings worn out) …….Repair: - Engineer would replace fan motor.  
• Engineer would check for coming fan in contact with distorted fan element. …….Repair: - Engineer would replace fan element.

Belling washing machines.  

Failure to spin 

Again the same as with ovens people call out a Domestic appliance engineers and are then faced with the cost of a call out charge for his time only to be told that they have failed to check if the pump filter is blocked. If the machine has not emptied its water out it will not spin. 

Again the same as with ovens before examining or investigating any failure or malfunction of any electrical appliance it must first is isolated (disconnected) from the electricity supply. 

How to unblock the pump filter. 

Remove lower Kick plate (part of you kitchen units) this will then expose the pump filter on the bottom front of the machine. CAUTION by removing the filter cover water will immediately flood out onto the floor especially if the machine is full of water. (A washing machine engineer would pull the appliance out and lean it back through 45° we do not recommend that you do this. Pulling an integrated washing machine out and leaning it back should only be attempted by a suitably qualified person) There is however another way please consult your manufacturers instruction book. 

Other reasons why machine fails to spin. 

Only one item of clothing in the machine. 

The electronics recognize that it is out of balance, and will not let the machine spin. This can be rectified simpley by adding more clothes to the drum. 

Other Products in the Belling range that we stock spares for, are Dishwashers,  Fridges & Freezers,  Tumble Dryers,  Washing Machines, that we stock spares for.  

Please note we except no liability for the information given above and we only recommend that repairs are carried out by a fully qualified engineer from MDA Spares.
