Re: MFI in trouble ?
I have serviced some Gaggenau appliances for one of the bosses of MFI some time ago.
Nice house.
:stir:Re: It’s not commercial use… Honest!
Our policy on commercial installations is to half the normal warranty.
So on most of our stuff a commercial installation will be one year warranty. 🙂
A bit better than Zanussi methinks.

Well, well, well, yet another Neff f/o element blown just inside warranty…….. this particular oven has consumed 4 in less than 2 years! No logical explanation
purchased 12 pattern elements last year from Maddocks, all failed within 12 months, replaced with genuine BSH 493065 element, none failed since.
As a point of interest BSH have extended the guarantee to three years for element failures on this item. has to be fitted by BSH or appointed agents though.
This type of action usually means there is a problem although they will never admit it.

Certainly some 😥
Never knowingly seen a Chinese one. 😕
Could you give me an ENR Boro?
There has been a BSH washer factory in China for several years, but I was told that this was only producing for the far east market and that the appliances were of a very basic design.:con:

Is the customer in the habit of putting ovenware in the dishwasher?
I’m thinking grease overload here.Re: It’s dead!
We only get the Bank holidays off at this time and are forbidden to take leave at Christmas. 🙁
Bloody Germans
😉Re: Brews!
I was offered a brew this morning by a nice elderly couple as I walked into the kitchen.
I was freezing outside and I could “scupper a cuppa” but I had the good fortune of spotting two bottles of “sterra” on the door step. :eeek:
I graciously declined.

Do you know what voltage should be
Thanks
ColinAbout 350V D.C. IIRC
There will only be voltage for a short time as the valve is pulsed and the polarity will reverse as the valve is activated. :lesson:
All for future reference, as Boro has your answer.

Colin
Diverter valve is D.C.

As it’s an IMPORT then the 2 year guarantee is likely void also (probably?) but may be worth checking though????
I’m afraid so. 🙁
We will, more often than not, repair on a chargable basis non u.k. appliances 🙂
Not all EU tagged appliances are non u.k. 😉
Re: Fridge Freezer Cold Location
BUYING A FRIDGE FREEZER
“Can you help me please?” – A Co Down listener asked On Your Behalf. “My freezer isn’t working! In fact it has never really worked properly. It keeps thawing and re-freezing the food in the freezer and the fridge isn’t keeping the contents cold enough.”The Background
“”It’s just a standard half-and-half fridge freezer. When I bought it the sales person did ask me if I was going to keep it in a garage or an outbuilding, but I said it would be in a kitchen.”
So when did things start to go wrong?
“Very soon after I got it home, I realised that the top part of it was really just a cupboard and the bottom half was frozen solid. So I rang the maker at the number I’d been given and the engineer came out. He said it needed gas in it! Very unusual for a new freezer. However it seemed to work after that.
“After a while though, I noticed that in the mornings that the fridge hadn’t been on during the night.”
The manufacturer’s engineer told her that the fridge is designed to operate within certain temperatures and he measured the temperature in our listener’s kitchen and said that it was below the temperature at which the fridge was designed to work.
He told our listener that what was happening was that during the night when the heat went off the kitchen cooled down, and the freezer was stopping operating and then when the kitchen warmed up again in the morning it started up again.
He said this was within the limits of temperature and the fridge freezer she had bought was designed to work in this country so it was her fault that her kitchen was too cold. Even though the house is double glazed and centrally heated.
The Advice
Should she accept it? Hazel Scott of the Belfast Consumer Advice Centre it was reasonable of the maker to say that the kitchen was too cold, because fridges and freezers are designed to work within specific temperature ranges.
So how do you choose the right appliance?
If your kitchen gets very cold choose a SN climate class model. These are designed to cope with rooms that get quite cold – around 10 degrees centigrade (that’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit ). The N class model is designed for use in a room no colder than 16 degrees centigradeOne or two controls – does it matter?
There are two main types of fridge freezers – with one thermostat control and with two controls. That should be simple, but it isn’t. The difference is always that obvious in the shop.What’s the difference?
The two control model makes it easier to set the correct temperature in the fridge and freezer compartments. And you can usually switch off one compartment which is useful for defrosting the freezer. Or perhaps you might want to switch off the fridge when you’re on holiday. And a one control fridge-freezer may be more difficult to set correctly.If the temperature of the room drops close to the temperature of the fridge, a one control model may cut out and stop cooling.
This may be what has been happening to our listener.
What questions should ask when buying?
Not all sales staff are trained to give best advice on what is available and what is suitable for different needs. And it is not up to the shop to tell you! So do your homework before you buy.http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/oy … ezer.shtml
This may help. 🙂
