Re: Moffat MDB900X Main oven problem
Fixed it!!!
😀 😀 😀
It was the oven control switch, narowed it down to this then took it out to inspect. A tiny ball of the packing polystyrene had got lodged in the switch, cushioning and preventing the contact…
well at least I know how the oven works a little better now
Even though i managed it in the end, thanks for being there…..
Re: Moffat MDB900X Main oven problem
Hmm, another wierd thing. In the manual it says “indicator neons will turn on and off during use to show temperature of the dual grill, top oven or main oven is being maintained”. I am getting no indicator neon activity with the grills (in top oven compartment) though they are fully working. neons work as expected for top oven. Is the manual wrong, or is this another fault?
I have oven apart but without service manual it’s not obvious what could be wrong with main oven. Cable from timer to main oven control knob, gives 0V on initialpower on, and 240V once clock set, so I think timer is not the problem….
Re: Moffat MDB900X Main oven problem
Yes, was the first thing I tried. Was upset when it didn’t spring to life after doing it,that’s when I realised something was a bit awry. Thanks anyway tho.
Currently am trying to disssemble oven to get to the components, does anyone know if there is an engineers manual for this, or similar electrolux/aeg double oven?
Re: Moffat MDB900X Main oven problem
If it helps, it seems thermostat is ok maybe, I can hear it “clicking in” as I turn the oven temp dial, and its clicking in at a slightly lower temp today, as its a bit nippier…
hmmmm
Re: Moffat MDB900X Main oven problem
Hmm, maybe it is a dishwasher and that’s the problem after all. I’ll get some fabric softener, and see if that helps 😆
Thanks for putting me somewhere more sensible!
Re: zanussi zwf1221w noisy spin cycle
any info/clues at all helpfull, even if completely misguided. Maybe I’ll get the thing apart and have a look inside…
Re: Smeg DF612SE won’t do a thing
Well, that took a while to get to the root of…classic machine working flawlessly when engineer arrived(!)..followed by same fault next day. pcb switched out (new pcb faulty, nasty whining sound!), next visit new pcb, no joy, new door switch, no luck either, both lcd panels switched out, still no go. In the end turned out to be a “flow alternator” or similar. Unfortunately the error code for this doesn’t necessarily appear if its faulty..(!)
Glad I hadn’t tried to tackle this myself in the end, so thanks for the advice on ringing Smeg.
😀
Re: Smeg DF612SE won’t do a thing
Well, sympathetic they were. Didn’t even have to persuade them. Sending engineer for fixed fee and any parts free, which if its pcb (their over the phone rough diagnosis too) is quite a relief.
Re: Smeg DF612SE won’t do a thing
Thanks for replies, will look at dispenser solenoid. Was wonderig if the symptoms would fit the door lock sensor not activating properly. I can’t remember what the lights on the panel look like or what buttons do when door is still open..
I’ll give Smeg a ring this morning though, and evaluate their sympathy!
