Re: SMEG Oven – SE 375 MSX – Problems

Donating hot pasties sounds like one satisfied customer Simon!! Bet she wouldn’t have made them for you on a day like today though 8).

I have no idea how much new ovens are – would a repair like this be £100 or £100’s. Sorry to ask – I know you can’t be specific but a rough idea.

Will try the thermometer thing and take it from there. What you have said makes sense though. Is 20-25 mins to heat up 180 deg C longer than it should take?

Regards,

Re: SMEG Oven – SE 375 MSX – Problems

Thanks for that Simon,

I’ll try and get hold of an oven thermometer. Am in London so plenty of John Lewis stores around.

Re: the fan – it sounds like it’s spinning – as in, a totally different sound compared to just using the convection oven setting.

Do you know if a temperature control fault is serious (expensive) to fix – if that is the problem?

Thanks again for your replies.

Re: SMEG Oven – SE 375 MSX – Problems

Hi Simon,

I think it’s always been this hot (and has been the bane of my life since moving in here).

Yes, it does tend to burn things – especially cakes – they go black around the edges before the inside is cooked. I do reduce the recommended cooking temperature when using fan-assisted. I have started having to cook some things covered in foil just to avoid the smoking and burning smell.

It takes about 20-25 minutes to heat the oven up to 180 dg C. I’m not sure how quickly it’s supposed to heat up but that is another annoyance. 😕

Would welcome your comments/suggestions.

Thanks, Hazel

Re: SMEG Fridge /Freezer FAB30X3

Hi Bryan,

I have done just that …. and it’s worked! Thanks so much. You’re a star.

Just one question though (my knowledge of refridgeration is zero) where should that water now drain to and is it just re-circulated? It’s intrigued me…….

Best wishes,
Hazel

Re: Ariston Margherita not using fabric conditioner

Hi Dave,

I did have another go at cleaning the jet holes with a bit of thin wire – small black gunge particles came out. (Electricity turned off!)

Just did a wash using the Quick – 30 minute wash (hardly ever use it) and ……. it worked. Hopefully it will be fine on other cycles and it was just a blockage.

Thanks so much!

Re: Ariston Margherita not using fabric conditioner

Thanks for that Dave – I will have another go at cleaning the jets above, although was quite thorough when I did it yesterday.

Water pressure in the house (cold water) is quite strong. Hot water pressure fine but not as strong as cold (sorry for my ignorance, but don’t know if machine draws it from hot or cold).

The machine has been in this house for nearly 3 years and not had this problem before. Having said that will defintely be buying Bosch the next time!

Anyway, will try another clean and put another wash on and see what happens……….

Thanks again. 🙂
