Crosslee are to cease production in the UK thread here for the full story.
For your enquiry the part number of the drum is 421309208451 Google just led me to Ebay 😉

I too have looked also to no avail. When you look at the company information . here I can see why.
Manualslib were having enquiries for the instructions back in 2011 and could not help so I would say Dave’s idea for a control panel picture is about as good as it gets.
Don
You can host your picture on one of the many sites out there then link it to here, Google is a good place to start.
Model numbers on freezers are usually behind either the top or bottom drawer on one of the side walls.

Hi
Fisher Paykel and Liebherr both have specialist local engineers to repair their products as they are more complex than the average fridge freezer. Liebherr is the best on the planet which is why you have to pay a higher price to get the best. They also produce all of Miele refrigeration appliances as well. F & P on the other hand produce across most product sectors, still a quality product and sold through specialist retailers.
Bosch is a good third option series 6 usually gives the consumer a few more twiddly bits like crushed ice option rather than the twist box on series 4. If you get a copy of their freestanding brochure you can compare all the differences between the different series.

For what it’s worth we have this Beko which is just over two years old. It’s a great machine, didn’t want water and ice as the ice/ water unit takes it away from the storage capacity.
Don
Hi
If you look at a Liebherr and a Beko side by side (excuse the pun) the difference will be obvious. Will it last over twice the Beko life span? Probably will and some.
Liebherr also produce for Miele and are known to be the best you can get.

Hi
It’s widely known that gas grills are nowhere as good for toasting as toasters, that said it does seem rather a long time.
The make and model number would help us?
If this is a new build with a new oven fitted then it’s advisable to ask the manufacturers for help assuming it’s been installed correctly.

Hi
For your gas cooker if it’s a 60cm wide you are looking for? the easiest way I can help is to answer the OP findings 😉 which will help you in your search. My replies are in red text.

I’m after a new cooker, and could do with advice from someone who knows. I have read all the articles here/elsewhere about own-brand brands, companies that own other companies and such, but I seem to be going round in circles.
I’m after a 60cm Dual fuel cooker, up to £600 at a push.
As far as I can remember reading the Hotpoint/Whirlpool/Indesit ones are cheap and nasty, and parts/technical info difficult to source.
Not as cheap and nasty as most, in fact the build is okay for the price, parts are readily available at a reasonable cost as is service information.
Stoves/Glen Dimplex seem to sound ok but on the brands to avoid info list apparently the company is a shambles and parts and diagrams are impossible to get.
First I have heard of this, granted the Belling and New World names are not as synonymous with cooking appliances as they used to be but still a good cooker and as before spares etc are readily available.
Zanussi sounds as though its the best of a bad bunch.
Zanussi as a brand has shrunk in recent years with John Lewis taking the bulk of production by way of Zanussi and the JLP own brand. Still good cookers in fact probably the best of what is out there in the price range.
Own brand companies are the devil.. service and support tends to be disastrous.
While this may be the case in some instances it’s not always the case but research and forums like these should help consumers like yourselves.
It all seems a bit doom and gloom, and I feel as though I’m being dissuaded from every option by one article or another. If someone familiar with this could shed a ray of sunshine on this for me, it’d be much appreciated.
I think as consumers we have to accept that appliances are not what they used to be. The build quality, reliability and longevity of life are not what they used to be. But until prices increase by a substantial amount we will stay in this cycle of cheap un repairable land filling products. This amy change in the next few years but that’s another story.
At the moment I’m looking at this: [h=1]KENWOOD CK234DF SL 60 cm Dual Fuel Cooker[/h] https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/cooking/cookers/kenwood-ck234df-sl-60-cm-dual-fuel-cooker-grey-chrome-10190284-pdt.html
… I know its curry’s own brand but in the Brand info page it didn’t sound too bad (DeLonghi are respectable, right??). Plus i’m not sure how up-to-date it is.
Sadly Delonghi is probably the worst of the whole bunch, constructed poorly which is why they always seem a good price.
Thanks in advance 🙂Calum
So there you have it, it’s not all doom and gloom. If you want a good cooker then you will have to pay good money.
