Re: Oven Replacement – Please help
Hi
Drop down the oven door there should be a screw on either side of the oven front, remove these and slide oven out. What the other two are I don’t know.

Re: Oven Replacement – Please help
Hi Shane
All single ovens are standard to a couple of mm so any of the ones JLP are listing will fit. There is a 50 : 50 chance the gas pipe which supplies the hob may need to be reconfigured to accommodate the shape of the new cabinet. That aside it’s all good.

DonRe: Where to buy appliances?
Hi Andrew
Your local specialist is one of a very rare breed still left as many have now ceased trading. Is the local specialist installing these products?
These outlets while not able at times to match the internet traders will offer you the the best advice,back up service, instantly contactable, and peace of mind which the internet can’t. It really depends what price you want to put on these factors.
If the price difference is really not acceptable return to the retailer and politely ask if they could maybe improve on their offer, negotiation this way may mean that you get a slightly better deal and the retailer can still have a good bit of business.Just be aware the margins are just as thin for the net traders as they are for the bricks and mortar retailers. There is a fine line between what is good business and what is bad.

DonRe: Bosch WAQ283S0 bearings shot after 1000 washes?
Hi
Have a read of the two articles I pointed you to in my post. These will give you a fuller picture of how prices have eroded over the last thirty years and how the build and longevity has reduced.
There are loads of articles here on consumer issues.
One of the articles in that section which is worth reading here on consumer rights if you choose to go down the SOGA route.

DonRe: Bosch WAQ283S0 bearings shot after 1000 washes?
Hi MH
Yes I would agree with you that that it does sound the bearings are grumbling a little, to preserve it’s life for as long as you can reduce the amount you are putting in and reduce the spin to 1000 rpm.
These machines have the sealed drum assembly which means you cannot change just the bearings and comes at a hefty price. You could try ringing Bosch to see if they can help at all.
There is a good article here on life spans and usage.
As for prices another brilliant read here which puts pricing really into perspective.
What’s the best washing machine out there currently? It has to be the Miele, great build, good performance, energy efficiency and guarantees ranging from 2 years to ten dependant on model. Downside? Expensive spares and Miele do not share tech info with the trade so little chance of your own local engineer being able to carry out a repair.
Replacement? For the amount of washing (assuming it is purely domestic) I would look for a machine with a five year warranty, that way you know you will get at least five years from it. A good place to start is John Lewis.

DonRe: Diplomat APM6734 integrated fridge
Hi
The parts explosion leads me to believe it’s a column fridge approx 90cm tall.
Is the fridge waist height and up or under the worktop? If it’s at waist height what is the overall height of the fridge?
DonRe: ELBA Dual Fuel Cooker
Hi
I just keep going round in circles, there is very little via Google. Your best bet would be to contact Elba direct http://www.elba-cookers.it/en/contacts email address and phone no.
