    I don’t have any cover with nPower just took advantage of a special offer they were running for boiler servicing.

    In fairness the engineer made it clear it was repairable and would have done it there and then but they don’t carry the seals with them.

    I will call around to get some quotes.

    Thanks for your help.

    me thinks you need to call someone else

    theyre built room sealed, they dont stop being that way

    Well if part of the seal was missing then surely it would “stop being that way”

    Just to fill in a bit more of the background to this, when the engineer (who was from nPower so I wouldn’t have thought he was a cowboy) removed the front cover of the boiler it wasn’t screwed on properly so it appears it has been tampered with by a previous occupant of the house, especially as the cover has been painted and would have to have been removed to do this. This was the first time I have had it serviced since buying the house.

    As the engineer explained it the “room sealing” is acheived with a combination of the sealing strips and the front cover being properly secured to create the seal.

    I’m not an expert obviously but this explanation seems plausible to me and he showed me the cover and where the sealing strip was missing. He also advised me to get another engineer to complete the work as it would be cheaper than getting nPower back out so I can’t see why he would deliberately being trying to mislead me.

    Any other, helpful, thoughts?

    ill say it again

    get someone proper

    a simple spillage test would have confirmed efficient roomsealing

    if he wasnt sure, he should have classiffied it as at risk and isolated the appliance,and issued you with the correct paperwork

    there are very strict procedures for these things, and safety is paramount…not room sealed = carbon monoxide leaks / improper combustion

    im not making this up you know

    I’m not sure about the spillage test but he did classify it as at risk, switched it off and gave me the paper work. He would have replaced the seal as well but didn’t have any with him

    You could try a forum dedicated to plumbing and central heating which this one most certainly is not.

    A quick google may help, don’t know of any myself but I think mod P45 did have a link at one time.

    Fair enough, I did try to find one before posting here but didn’t find one. If you’re able to track down that link it would be appreciated

    Thanks for the reply.

    It’s confirmed what I thought.

    Time to buy a new microwave then!

    Re: Hoover Tumble Dryer TV-30

    Cheers, thanks for the quick repsonse!

    Next question….

    How would I go about fitting it? I’ve had a look at the front panel and wasn’t sure how to go about removing it or even if that is the way to go about it.

    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the same problem with my TV30.

    Would you be able to get hold of the replacement part for this model?

    Cheers

    Excellent!

    Thanks for your help.

    The oven seems to be a pretty basic model, only two knobs. One on the left is the temperature control and there’s one on the right which has four symbols: A light bulb, a square with a line at the top and a line at the bottom, a square with three triangles at the top and a square with two triangles at the top.

    If you’ve got a PDF that will help it would be great and I’ll hopefully be ordering a new shelf in the not too distant future.

    Cheers again
