Re: Bulb for Matsui 170TC microwave

Be careful when opening a Microwave Oven up. You must have the facility to test for microwave radtion leakage after closure. Also be aware of extremely high voltages & stored energy risks.
Re: Advertising Scam
I agree with Goatboy & Martins statements. But, like Goatboy, they seem to call when I have my head inside an electric oven trying to fix it & listening to a nagging customer 😆
The mobile phone rings, customer stops nagging whilst you are listening & you only have to give a hint of an agreement & you are truly done out of some money 😈 . I even had had one clown say they were recording the conversation for training purposes.
So, like Martin be careful, be cagey, be prepared. Ask them to to fax a signed copy of the advert etc.
Re: cooker hoods
You could try DR Cooker Hoods at ph 01252 351111. I’ve repaired & installed a few of these & had no trouble in getting parts. They seem to be quite solid. DR Cooker Hoods supply a make called Elica. They certainly used to make a rear vent 60cm unit sometime back. Don’t know if they do now.
Hope this helps.

Many thanks – I need the drawings for the control panel (unless this is integrated within the oven assembly)
Do you need my e-mail address ?

Re: Carriage charges for spares delivery
This is why I stopped using Connect as my main supplier.
A few years ago, they were charging p&p when backed ordered items were sent out despite the fact that I was being charged p&p on the orginal order.
On some orders I was getting charged three or four times for p&p if items were out of stock!!! 👿
Re: De Dietrich Oven CX4744U1

Here is what I think I’m gonna do.
Order a new assembly & transfer the lamp to the old holder. I’m also going to measure the lamp base. I think you are correct in stating its an E17 lamp. Then at least I might be able to track down some 300deg E17 lamps.
I’ll let you know.
Again, many thanks for checking your drawings.
Regards

Good afternoon. Thanks for doing the research on this. I had a feeling this was going to be an ugly one. 😯 This is why I decided to put a message on the UKW site.
Since you have the drawings for this beast, I can only assume that the lampholder assembly is replaced by removing the top of the cooker. can you tell me if I have start removing or disconnecting gas parts. The issue being I’m not Corgi registered & I’ll have decline progressing the repair.
Thank you.

Re: Insulation testers
The BM200 is a great megger. Got my one in 1988. Now relegated to the backup / standby if my Metrel is away for calibration etc.
Re: De Dietrich Oven CX4744U1
Dave
Since I don’t have a Connect catalog (I do have an account), I cannot easily check. If it is of the ‘golfball’ variety, then it won’t fit. I guess the best way to describe it, is the profile is rectangular of the dimensions in the last mail.
If I take a digital pic can I e-mail you or upload to this site?
Thanks for your help so far.
Re: De Dietrich Oven CX4744U1
Dave
Just got back – its definitely not SES. According to the instruction book, its a 25W, E27 300 deg lamp. Nothing stuck in the holder. However, I have the glass bulb without the ES base. The bulb measures about 25mm dia with a length to the ES base of 30mm.
Any ideas where I Can get one, even if its only 15W – I’ve checked a lot of the usual sources without success.

Re: De Dietrich Oven CX4744U1

Thanks for trying. I also phoned Connect Distibution (they now handle De Dietrich spares), they did not know either – putting in an enquiry – supposed to get back to me today (I’m not holding my breath 🙄 ). Had a call from the customer today to tell me that she purchased a couple of lamps & they do not fit – sure is strange. I’ll let you know the outcome since this may help someone else.
Re: rosieres 2040db cooker
Dave & DPM
The phase to phase volts in the USA is nominally 208. Can rise to 220V.
Hope this helps :lesson:

Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
Reminds me of one where I went to do a call & the customer was a retired ‘engineer’. He started picking my screwdrivers & meter etc to do the job – had ask him ‘who is doing this me or you?’
Needless to say that wifey told him to let me get on with or it will cost even more to repair the damage already done by his previous messing around 😆
Re: Dishwasher door live
This is not surprising. Most filters fitted to domestic equipment have quite a high leakage current to earth. This is another good reason to ensure that domestic appliances are supplementary protected by an RCD via a split-load Consumer Unit.
Any device that contains a filter will have leakage cuurent, thus making the chassis ‘float’ to a voltage any where up to full mains voltage if the earth is diconnected or the leakage current on a filter should increase. 😉
Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
Just got to add one to the list – sure it has already been included. Had this one three times this week:
I’m sure its only something small & won’t cost much to fix – maybe its a just a fuse or a broken connection’
Sometimes, I really feel like telling the ‘know-all’ customers, if you know what the fault is, why don’t you fix it 😈
