Re: Heating element for Homark 05-703205 electric fan oven

Hello Dave,

Thanks for your reply and for the info. I’ve just bought one using the link.

I look forward to it arriving in the next couple of days.

One last thing: I intend to fit it myself, since I’ve watched a surprising number of Caremark/Bernstein engineers take my Homark oven out and put it back in again. Apart from ‘unplug it from the mains first’, do you have any other advice regarding DIY element replacement? No special tools required, etc?

Thanks in advance
Essad

Re: Wanted: Zanussi Gas Cooker GC9557 glass hob lid – help!

Hello Dave,

Thanks for your reply.

My dad has come up with his home-made lid solution: from a mate he’s got a piece of stainless steel cut and is going to bolt it to the oven hinges. 😕

Yes, it is completely mental, I told him so.

For the moment thanks again for your kind help. I expect when this bodge comes a cropper he’ll be on to me to contact you.

Re: Freezer leaking water in hot weather – any advice please

Hello Brian,

Thank you for kindly replying.

I will try to take a look at the freezer to see what, if anything, can be done.

Thanks again

Re: Freezer leaking water in hot weather – any advice please

Hello kwatt,

Thank you for kindly replying to my enquiry.

I will try to tilt the freezer to take a look but I think you are right, the freezer may be on its way out.

Damn, now I have to find £350 for another one. Great.

Thanks again

Re: Wanted: Homark 05-703205 Fan Motor and Oven Seal – Help!

Hello Dave,

Thank you for replying again.

Yes, the oven is under a five year guarantee. I bought it in 2000. The thermostat went in January 2004, the element in March. During the latter repair, the oven door wasn’t fitted back on properly, so the surrounding cupboard doors veneers were partially melted and the oven seal burnt.

The oven door was eventually refitted. The replacement fan motor was the wrong one so the old one went back on, despite the engineer’s best efforts to prise its housing off so he could try to fit the new (incorrect) one. New cupboard doors have been delivered, along with a grill element for some mysterious reason.

Since January 2004 the repairs have been shuttled between Caremark, Expert Appliance Care, Appliance Express and Bernstein. Bernstein told me today they no longer handle repairs and told me to contact Caremark.

I have sent the details to Caremark.

Thanks again for kindly taking the time to reply.
