Re: ide750 cracked facia
The crack doesn’t completely go from the edge of the handle to the edge next to the catch recess more like it’s spread from the centre outwards?
My first thought was the pull on the handle,when opening,may have caused it but, as it doesn’t actually lock and (I presume) the catch is sprung loaded, it should only open when the predetermined pull is achieved so you can’t pull any harder than it was designed for.Re: ide750 cracked facia
I actually bought it from Argos although it was delivered from Indesit direct.After a few emails to Indesit and one to Argos, who have contacted Indesit on my behalf, I had a phone call from Indesit to apologise and arrange a visit. They are still saying it will only be repaired free if the engineer is satisfied it was not accidental damage!
I know some people would try to do this and it would probably be hard to prove otherwise but fingers crossed.
I can get the part for £25.99 so it’s not really worth arguing over but it is only 5/6 mths old.
Any reports in the trade of other IDE750’s having this problem??
It looks like a stress crack to me possibly the door heated up and expanded causing the crack vertically between the handle and the recess for the catch? or a fault/weak point in the plastic itself?
Is this the result of cheap foreign made components??? :rolls:Re: hotpoint FFA70 fridge freezer
