    I have a good customer that has just paid Smeg in the region of £14 for a 10 watt light bulb for an FAB28XS1 fridge.

    Does anyone know of a stockist that charges reasonable prices for Smeg spares?

    Apparently it’s not so much the price of the bulb that’s the problem. It’s the handling charge.

    Re: Smeg prices

    Hi

    the cost of replacing 1 x bulb part ref 824610605 is £37.84

    Regards

    Thats from their spares dept.

    So can anybody explain this price then ?

    All I want is a little 5 watt lamp for the drinks dispenser on the front of my FA561XF.

    I work within the lighting industry and know for a fact these these cost PENCE. So they might wanna charge me a couple of quid…..

    BUT THAT !!!! 😈

    Nope, ludicrous price that is :eeek:

    What voltage and thread fitting is it ? There must be an alternative supply somewhere.

    5 watt, 255 (240) volt ses.

    Trust me I have searched high and low throughout my many contacts and cant source one anywhere other than Smeg.

    Well stuff em…………. I knicked 1 out of a display model.

    Not proud, but if anybody at Smeg wants to discuss this at a more public level I’m game.

    Can’t condone your behaviour Kippax, although we probably all sympathise with you.

    If you’ve still got the old bulb, stick up a piccie, as we too have contacts, and the next person may be luckier!
