Re: smeg A42-5 top oven fault
It is evidently something to do with the top oven thermostat as this not only conrols the heat but also the indicator light (assuming it’s the temp indicator staying on).
It may be something as simple as a loose connection or similar.
Smeg have their own network of Independant engineers who will be able to sort this out for you, phone Servevast on 0870 444 7002, they are the main agents who will pass your details to the relevent company/engineer.
It will be much simpler than having to uninstall it and return etc.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Dave.

Re: DASA!
Alex wrote:Should I post this on the DASA thread??
You may as well Alex 😉
It’s certainly an idea, and one that was mentioned before at the PKI Rotherham special meeting.
The only major problem is how much would this position command in monetary terms ?
The only solution, as Kevin mentions is to increase the membership fee, possibly substantially, I seriously doubt that most would be willing or even able to pay a higher fee, so that would knock that idea on the head. Unless of course such a person could be found to take a part time role and then would only paid a similar figure to Chris.
Are you offering to take the role Alex ? 😆

Any more than that, we’ll have to wait and see I guess.
I was tempted to hit the “apply” button but thought better of it 😉

Re: Indesit W161 drum bearing
Yeah I got the email, which I’ll reply to directly, for others’s benefit with similar problems…………..
The bearing on this particular machine is no different than many others, several factors effect premature bearing failure:
1/ The bearing seal – stops water entering the bearing housing, the most common cause of bearing failure. Can be effected by, poor quality material used for the seals and drum support shafts, badly designed sealing arrangements.
2/ Poor quality bearings used in production (cost saving measures to keep appliance prices low).
3/ High spin speeds used constantly – 1600rpm is too high, you will see little difference if you reduced the speed to 1000rpm for most fabrics. High spin speed is a selling tool for retailers and manufacturers but is something us repairers will advise against in the main.
4/ Constant overloading, this coupled with all or some of the above will signifantly reduce the time it takes before bearing failure.
So, as a guide, buy a good quality appliance with a reasonable spin speed (1200rpm maximum), do your homework by asking an engineer and/or other people with machines that have lasted a reasonable timescale without too many major repairs, and the biggest one of all, don’t be pulled in by the “low price” nonsense, all applinaces are not the same as is generally thought sometimes, you get what you pay for as they say 😉

Re: Part wanted for NEFF B-AP22-7
Hi again.
The part is, as you say 87p plus VAT. The postage charge is quite normal for spares suppliers, even those of us with spares accounts will pay the same, unless (again, as you mention) the part is placed with a larger order, then there is the problem of sending the part to you, which will incur a further charge.
The postal charge may seem high, but given that sending parts anywhere either by post or carrier costs money, in as much as people have to be employed to administer the posting, packaging costs (jiffy bags etc), the actual cost of the parcel itself by the carrier, it all adds up. £3.50 is about the norm to be honest for small parcels.
The only way to avoid this is order the part from a local shop who will offset part of the postage against other parts on the same order and collect it from them when it arrives.

Re: “Cookers” – supplied by Bernstein Group PLC –
And the moral of this tale is…….don’t always listen to the salesman in large stores, they are nearly always commission based in their salary structure with incentives being offered from various places 😉
Just a personal opinion of course 🙂

Re: English Electric Rapide 57
LOL 😆
Is that one of the old one’s that you need a forklift to move ?
You should be able to get a normal 31ER simmerstat in there if I recall from the last time I did one 😀

Re: Indesit W161 drum bearing
It will have both of those bearings, 6205 and 6206 as well as the shaft seal which will aslo need replacing.
I can sort the lot out for about £20 inc post etc.
If you want these ordered and sent to you, drop me an email.

Re: Plate for Hotpoint 6610 microwave
It is definitely obsolete. As you say though, many turntable glass trays are the similar.
If you can supply three things I may be able to sort a replacement:
The diameter of the tray itself.
The diameter of the roller underneath it.
A photo of the drive coupling (that’s the hard part, getting a tray that matches the drive).
You can email me directly and I’ll see what I can do. And I can send to Eire no problem if I can match something.
