Re: Creda W220VW repair or replace

Hello, just to let you know that I managed to find a local repairer who came the same day that I called him, had all the required parts on his van and carried out the work for a total of £100, which I thought was a very fair price, excluding the brushes which did not need replacing. The machine is now running much quieter and hopefully will last a few more years.

Thanks again for your help.

Re: Creda W220VW repair or replace

Hello, if I can get that done at a reasonable price then I think that would be a better option than most of the new machines available which probably wouldn’t last five years anyway. I’ll get some more quotes and see what the cost is. Many Thanks again for your help.

Re: Creda W220VW repair or replace

I checked and I actually purchased it in Jan 2005 so you were spot on with the year. I cannot detect any sign of main bearing wear, i.e. The drum turns smoothly, and the brushes are still the original ones.

Re: Creda W220VW repair or replace

I think that must be the case because I had to have a new main bearing after it was just out of warranty and I don’t recall having a whole new drum assembly fitted so I think it must have been the screwed drum. It looks as if I have had the machine longer than I thought, I am beginning to think that I have had my moneys worth out of the machine and the current faults are probably just the start of problems. A new machine looks like the answer, but how to choose the best of a bad bunch. Many Thanks David

Re: Creda W220VW repair or replace

Thanks for the reply. I have checked behind the lower front plastic plinth and there is neither a red plastic disc or a fixed pump filter as far as I can tell, just a metal sheet with a few screws etc.

Re: Sebo x1 noisy

Hi

The fault turned out to be a frayed belt, eventually it broke which made the fault obvious. I have fitted new belts and it is now working again.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Built in oven choice

Hello Bryan

Yes, it seems nothing is as well made as my existing twenty year old appliances (Neff oven/hob and zanussi fridge/freezer) but the Neff appliances seem as good as any in the price range. I will try and have a look at a V Zug oven before I decide. I am a bit puzzled why there is only a two-year warranty on the V Zug (same as the Neff) considering that it is a top of the range item in terms of cost and quality. I would have thought a 5 year warranty (like the Samsung) was more appropriate.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Bryan

We are in the process of moving to the scottish borders near Kelso, about an hour from Newcastle.

Re: Built in oven choice

Hello Bryan

The V ZUG ovens look like a quality item. What is the benefit of a steam oven bering in mind that we are both vegetarians so will not be roasting any joints of meat. Also what is the service backup like?

Re: Built in oven choice

Hello Bryan

Thanks for the info regarding the Samsung. I realise I will have to pay for quality (I have a Sebo vacuum cleaner!) but would obviously like to get the best value. I don’t think some high-end manufactures are worth what they charge.

Re: Sebo x1 noisy

Hi

If it is the motor is it worth repairing or should I buy a new machine. Also if it is the motor would it still run albeit noisily? My local parts shop suggested that it was probably the clutch. Any thoughts on this and how I can isolate the problem?

Many Thanks

David

Re: Sebo x1 noisy

Thanks for the reply.
I have recently fitted a new brush roller after which the machine was okay for a couple of months. The noise is also present when I run the machine without the roller installed.

hope this helps identify the problem.

Many Thanks
David
