Re: Electrolux door seal help
I’ve checked my copy of Electrolux TDS and neither of the two units are listed. This is probably why you have had no response.
Re: DIPLOMAT 3201 keeps cutting out- repair or replace?
Looks to have a thermal cut-out on the back which may be playing up.
Re: Hotpoint Mistral…. different diagnosis ?
I would suggest that you substitute the green thermistor again, this controls the fan if I remember right. You state that you pushed a piece of wire down the right hand side vent tube but did you check the tube on the right hand side?. As my collegue states the PCBs are fairly reliable and when they go generally your motor doesn’t run.
Re: ISE2- any experiences
We sell both – I would suggest it rather depends on what concept you follow. If you want a machine that is difficult to access for repair but has a larger tub and comes with a two year parts and labour guarantee and might be repaired by the seller, then you could consider the Gorenje. If however you want a machine that is fully repairable will be serviced by the supplier but has a smaller tub and also a two year P+L warranty from a green company then the ISE2 is up your street. Bosch is also another good make but would cost you more for a decent model.
Re: FF80 EA error message
Martin from memory EA = baffle error – You need to check if the fridge baffle in top area of fridge is working, it also has a thermistor in there I think
Re: Hotpoint Mistral…. different diagnosis ?
There are three thermistors – which two did you change? Secondly, did you do a full defrost (ie appliance off for 48 hours) before or after you changed the two thermistors? Did you check that the flow and return air vents were clear of ice?
Re: HOTPOINT RLA34 WILL NOT TURN OFF
You could also have a problem with a lack of refrigerant, ie the temperature is not getting cold enough to cause the stat to switch the compressor off.
Re: Scrap & Weee
Life is never that simple – If you are a retailer of appliances and you deliver and install at a customers home, (assuming the customer wants you to take away the old appliance – which you are legally obliged to do) you need a waste carriers licence to move controlled waste from the customer to either your workshop or the authorised treatment facility. Remember as far as the regulations are concerned the customer is discarding the appliance, it therefore becomes waste under the terms of the WEEE directive. If you take the appliance back to your workshop the workshop must be registered with the Environment Agency as a producer of waste. Depending on what type of appliance the item is, you have to deal with them in different ways, all refrigeration is handled by specialised treatment facilities whilst the other range of appliances can be dealt with at a scrap yard. Whichever, you have to be able to produce evidence that you have removed the appliance from the customer and transfered it to its final resting place. ie Customer to You, You to treatment facility (or scrap yard) Scrapyard to Producer Compliance Scheme. As you will have noted Pikeys are not too interested in collecting your fridges, as this is going to cost them to get rid – they will happily take your washers etc and they then weigh them in for cash. Their days are numbered. As with you we get them knocking on the door nearly every day but politely tell them that we can’t let them take them away. At the end of the day you have to account to the EA for you quota. In this area we are getting between £60-70 a tonne. Tim obviously lives in a more afluent are than us.
Re: Replace door on hotpoint RL 64P?
The easy way – clear the insides of everything, food, drink, shelves, draws, unplug and lay the appliance on its back with the top slightly raised – remove bottom hinge assembly and take off door. Now fit replacement door and hinge and stand it upright. Replace all contents, and this is very important, do not switch it back on for two hours. Switch on after the two hours and off you go.
