    The only way you will find out is to visit a Miele stockist and physically look at the machine labelling. However I have found over the years that some bar codes are registered back to head office in Germany so you really never know.

    Brilliant cooker the Winchester in it’s time.

    It does sound like you have a problem, you will need a Gas Safe engineer to diagnose and effect the repair.

    Unfortunately we are unable to advise on DIY gas repairs due to forum rules at the top of this forum.

    Have deleted your duplicate post in General Enquiries from yesterday.

    You need to research heat pump dryers to understand the tech used and the reasons why they are the future of tumble dryers.

    I found it was mixed to be fair. Some did not want or could not afford price of a heat pump while others could see no value in them.

    When they are the norm and prices are cheaper people will forget about the older tech and accept what is then available.

    This thread is almost two years old I am sure the poster has solved the issue by now.

    No doubt Texans use the same transit boilts as us in the UK.

    There are no longer any vented integrated dryers anymore. As far as I am aware all integrated dryers are heat pump. In a few years there will only be heat pump dryers available as they are a cheaper and greener option to run.

    So if you are to ditch the integrated you will need a freestanding condenser with a more expensive element to heat of which there are quite a few around.

    Take a look at the energy label that came with your dryer and then look at this Curry’s link as it explains very well what info is on the label. There is a lot of info on Google as well.

    The only A+ rated dryers around these days are the heat pumps. Yes a heat pump dryer also condensates the steam back to water in the collecting bottle.

    Have a read of the article I linked to above.

    aOn appliance people info it does not state what type of dryer it is, as it’s an A+ rated dryer I assume it’s a heat pump machine? If my suspicion is right they do take longer to dry clothes as they do not get as hot due to the differentn tech used. An article here on our site explains it well.

    Also as it’s an integrated appliance you need to make sure that the installation has been carried out correctly accoring to the instructions re ventilation as that could affect the performance. Looking at the door I am more inclined to say it’s a re badged Hoover, someone else may know better 😉

    Could well be. If the seal is flattened you could try a hairdryer on warm heat and tease it out. Price of fridge door is over £100 and the seal if it is a DIY possible is about the £50 mark.

    If you decide to replace the appliance you have a 70:30 split integrated fridge freezer with sliding hinge system.

    Your model is a built in frost free appliance, looking at the parts there is a fan in the freezer, if the freezer door is left open warm air is sucked in and turns to ice around the fan, a full defrost can sometimes cure this, empty the appliance, unplug or switch appliance off and leave doors open for two days. Wipe out and switch back on keeping firngers crossed. If this doesn’t work then it’s probably time to call for an engineer.

    Thanks for the heads up on where to find the info for the model no. I don’t suppose you know how it would be attached to the worktop? Never had any dealings with hobs before unfortunately…

    Neff are usually fitted with 2 small springy clips on each side. It may even have been put in with mastic, I hope not though. A torch will be needed.
