Re: Diplomat ADP8252 Nr 05747 1002 – power button issue
Update
I have used the advice found elsewhere on this site and have managed to prise out the door catch using 2 small screwdrivers.
After pressing and wobbling the stuck-in button repeatedly I have managed to free it up. Not sure why it was stuck down but I seem to be able to switch it on and off now, although I’ve not tried a wash cycle yet…
Re: Bosch HBN7050GB/01 loud pop & RCD tripped, main oven
The new element is in and operational. Fan is quiet and appears to be running freely. Hopefully the ‘genuine’ element will last a little longer than the others I’ve used.
Re: Bosch 2052 fan oven half-moon element.
Thanks for your responses – keep ’em coming!
The oven door is fine – it seals and there is no movement and no probs with the hinges.
The vents at the back of the oven aren’t blocked and the fan doesn’t cut out during cooking, but I’ve no idea if it’s running slowly or not – it certainly looks to be whizzing round and, as far as I can tell, no different than it’s ever been.
Where do I go from here?
Re: Bosch 2052 fan oven half-moon element.
The fan definitely comes on and doesn’t go off during the cooking cycle. What would be the symptoms if there was a problem with the fan?
Also, the thermostat seems to be working OK as the red light comes on when you turn it on to set the temp and then goes off a little while after, as you’d expect.
Maybe I got one of the ‘2 minute’ ones previously referred to in this thread?
Re: Bosch 2052 fan oven half-moon element.
The oven element that was sent out as a replacement 2 months ago has just blown. 😥
The fan is clear and is still working.
I have emailed the spares department, but in the meantime, could this be a defective batch?
What else could be causing this, or is it just bad luck?
Thanks
Re: E20 on Zanussi WJS1265W during drying cycle
I managed to get most of the screws out without a problem, however the ones under the caps at the bottom of each side were more tricky. They required a 8mm socket small enough to fit through the ridulously small hole that they were recessed into – thank heavens for neighbours kind enough to lend out their tools!
The condenser/condensor itself was easy enough to remove and was indeed pretty clogged up with gunk. I managed to blast most of it out with a hose and the rest required a gentle nudge with a length of wire.
It was easy enough to put it all back together and the first test-run of a drying cycle did not throw up an E20 error code – phew!
Now, did I put that waste hose back in the drainage pipe properly 😕
Thanks for your help!

That’s great, thanks Goatboy, much appreciated! I’m almost looking forward to doing it!

Re: E20 on Zanussi WJS1265W during drying cycle
I’m keen to have a shot myself, it’s the only way I’ll learn.
Re: E20 on Zanussi WJS1265W during drying cycle
All the screws that helo_75 mentions, do they just hold the cabinet to the framework, or do they hold other parts in place – i.e. if I remove the screws will anything vital fall off?
Also, the “two screws under the white caps, at the bottom middle of the cabinet”, can i reach them from the top or do I have to go underneath? Or are they accessible from the sides outside?
And, what does the “valve cover” look like, and how is it attached? Is the condenser attached to the removed valve cover or would removing the valve cover allow access to the condenser?
Thanks
Re: E20 on Zanussi WJS1265W during drying cycle
Quite. I’m willing to have a go, just so long as I know I can put it back together again.
Re: E20 on Zanussi WJS1265W during drying cycle
Thanks for your reply. By the sounds of things it’s worth cleaning out the condeser, however I’m having trouple with your directions. I wonder if you could expand on them for a launderously challenged have-a-go such as myself?
Is this something I should undertake myself (on my own) or am I going to get into a mess with it? I’m not totally useless, I’m just worried about getting out of my depth. For example, I know how a screwdriver works 🙂
Re: E20 on Zanussi WJS1265W during drying cycle
Hopefully we’ll get a reply from someone that will be able to help us both, assuming it is the condensor and mine is in the same place as yours.
Re: Bosch 2052 fan oven half-moon element.
Thanks for your help! The replacement part arrived the very next day and I fitted it this morning.
Job’s a good ‘un!
😀
Re: Bosch 2052 fan oven half-moon element.
Thanks for the quick reply. The fan was def. OK yesterday and has been since I replaced the element back in August. I guess it may not have been working today but I think my wife would have noticed that from the lack of noise (not that it’s noisy, as such) and I doubt that the fan not working just for today would cause the element to go.
So, do you think it’s just ‘one of those things’, or is there anything else that could have caused it to go so quickly?
