    Yellow pages is a thing of the the past Martin, social media etc is the way to go.

    A good source is the https://www.retra.co.uk/ site. These are all bona fide retailers.

    Just a small thing I have just noticed, can the reference to Corgi be changed to Gas Safe in this article. There are two to change 😉

    Looks like you have now 🙂 I have just moved your thread re Servis oven to the Cooker repair forum 😉

    Hi

    99.9{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of all integrated fridge freezers are 177cm tall. I have checked on De Dietrich site and they do not have anything as a replacement either. The only reduced height appliance I know of is the Zanussi ZBB24431SV which is 144.1cm tall.

    The only other option would be to put a freestanding appliance in there but you would have to lose your timber door. Not ideal I know and not what you want to hear but that’s about as good as it gets I’m afraid.

    Integrated laundry is a small sector of the washing machine market, most manufacturers produce only one or two options. If you go down this route I would say for the criteria you have given a Hotpoint or a Zanussi would suffice.

    The other way you could consider would be to put a freestanding machine in there, you would lose the “built in look.” You would however tap into a much larger sector which would give you more choice.

    Statesman parts are available on 0844 848 5862 I have used them a few times and I have to say the service has been excellent.

    Have you tried Whirlpool service?

    In that case I would raise a part number enquiry with Connect and see what they come up with.

    Hi

    I must admit to not of hearing about the Sage ovens so a little digging and a learning curve is good. Looks like they are from the same group as Breville who over the years have had a good reputation in small appliances. That said the Sage oven is an all together different beast, with convection cooking, multi elements and multi function cooking I can see the benefit of it as it does all that a full size cooker would do but in a much smaller box. I would say it’s the best table top oven I have come across.

    The induction hobs will work over the dishwasher okay as the pan recognition sensor in the hob only recognises the saucepan when it’s put on the hob.

    There are quite a few differences, you really need to see them both together to compare. The Cannon badged cookers are in fact built to a higher standard ie doors are heavier and close nicer, shelf supports and shelves are a thicker steel, oven liners are larger and thicker.

    Probably worth the extra cost if you are looking for a reasonable quality cooker.

    A thread [ here] from not so long ago may help.

    The Ultima range is of a slightly better build and is still probably about the best in that range of cookers. The only other worthy contender in 50cm gas are the Zanussi models.

    It’s been brought to my attention that the reset password is not functioning. Have had a quick look myself and the link just goes to a blank page. Probably got a gremlin or two in there.
