    Thank you for the responses. I did try tilting the unit 45 ยบ to see if any water came out but none did, not sure if that is a very reliable test though!
    Is there such a thing as a service manual for this unit which would allow me to trace the fault and identify the pressure switch?

    Re: Compact/Narrow Dishwasher

    Sorry to hijack the thread, but I’m currently in the market for a second hand slimline 45cm unit myself. I’ve seen AEG, FAGOR, ZANUSSI, EUROTECH and a Bosch. They’re all more or less the same price apart from the Bosch which is about twice the price of the rest.
    Any tips on what to look for, or avoid? Most of these are between 3 and 7 years old.
    cheers, Ben

    Re: buying new oven – please advise!

    Taking Phildom’s advice on the rotary controls I ended up getting a FAGOR 6H185X, just fitted it now. The clock is digital but they all seem to be these days. It does not seem to be backlit LCD type, this has red digits like on many clock radios, which is probably for the best.

    Thanks for all the responses. I’ll be back here if I need advice on spares or wahtever!

    Re: buying new oven – please advise!

    Still not taken any decision, though I did take a look at a few over the summer.

    This fagor 6H755X unit : http://www.elcorteingles.es/hogar/produ … 9&tpam=scc

    seems to fit the criteria, having rotary controls etc.

    The Zanussi ZOB 361X was tempting, as were HOTPOINT-ARISTON F89-GP1 X , having smooth inners and a fairly solid door. Also, EDESA ROMAN H150X and HV3X I have noted down, but can’t recall what attracted me. :rolls:

    I’d be grateful to hear any comments or experiences on the above, good and bad. Availability/cost of spares I think would be my concern now, as price-wise there’s not much difference between them.
    thanks again,
    Ben

    Re: buying new oven – please advise!

    many thanks, that is useful advice. I also intend to have as close a look as possible at the units in-store, to try and see how robust they are and check insulation etc.

    After repairing a couple of microwaves last year I am a bit wary of the digital controls – in both units, transformers on the control pcb had opened up (supplying low voltage AC) – one was easily replaced bit the other had some odd secondary windings, and proved extrememely hard to locate. So I’ll go for the simpler rotary type when it coems to the oven!
