Thanks. I’ll give that a whirl and report back. Probably be Saturday before I get the chance.
Do you happen to have the superseding part number?Apologies for the delay.
That’s disappointing to hear – was hoping to get many more years of use out of this.In was sure it was only the element at fault initially. Aside from it draining slowly it worked perfectly until the element went – started tripping power as soon as it had filled at the beginning of the cycle. Now that no longer happens just sporadic heating.
The element was cheap – would you be almost certain that isn’t to blame here?
ThanksYes. The sensor was sold as for this model (among others). I’ve tried the old one back in and it’s still the same issue.
I’ve since been told by the missus that is has also been hot on 60c minimum iron however it wasn’t hot on 60c cottons setting. Seems a little sporadic.
I expect the element is an works all the time or not at all type of deal – so if it’s getting hot some times then it shouldn’t be an element fault right?
Re: Indesit dsr 15b1 uk
Hi. Mine has started doing the exact same thing. Did you get yours sorted? What was it?
I suspect the tub at the bottom of mine is full of water.

Hi Martin,
Forgive the delay in replying – work is getting in the way of the important things 😉What makes you say Stoves? Is that down to being a brand you’ve used yourself, or are you a repairer?
I can’t consider Zanussi – despite them being the appliance of science and all that. Been burnt a couple of times with past Zanussi appliances, and swore never to go back.
I’ve happened upon a Beko unit on very.co.uk – specwise it sounds pretty good. Does very well on reevoo.com too
Here’s the relevant links…

So, worst case scenario, and I replace all those parts, i’m already looking at £300(ish) – and then there’s the unknown. I wouldn’t have thought it easy to really test the board – that’s usually one of those things whereby if everything else is proven to be ok, then it MUST be the board.
So, £300 – BUT, there might be other issues.
OK, my evil alter ego is talking me out of the repair, as it has a tendency to snowball – so, i’ll start looking at new.
I’ll be ordering on BNPL from very.co.uk – not my first choice, but money is a bit tight at the moment what with new car, holidays etc, so i’ll look there. Seen a couple of Bosch (I know Bosch; I like Bosch) models around my, magicly plucked from thin air, figure of £350 – but none has a cleaning function. I’m not a fan of cleaning ovens.
Anyone out there any suggestions from the very.co.uk range? Personal experience as a user? Experience as a repairer, etc?Oh I need a drink!
CheersRe: BOSCH oven HBN730550GB/03 Dead
It was a great oven – and the pyrolyse cleaning function was a god-send!
For what I can afford at the moment (upto £350) am I likely to get anything as good?
And would repairing come well under that figure?
But if I repair, am I likely to have other issues in the not too distant future because of the age of the other components?I’m struggling to make my mind up.
What are your thoughts on my next step if I was to repair? The fan motor alone (from the quick search i’ve done) will be around the £100 mark.
… and we still don’t know what the actual point of failure was.
Ta.

Hello.
OK, taken the panels off.
It has power to the unit.
Bit of a shock really. The inside looks immaculate – all thanks to the pyrolyse function. Behind the unit, and under it’s panels, is a horse of a different colour. Looks like something from “Aggie and Kim’s whatever the program’s called”.Anyway, under the panels doesn’t look great. I’ve tested what fuses I can see (big white ceramiccy looking blocks – tested ok).
Tested continuity across both elements – okLots of cables are burnt away – the insulation that is.
The main fan motor looks carbonised – one of the connectors just crumbled off at the slightly attempt to get the connector off it. No continuity across it – shock!Here are a few pictures of the bad areas…
So, even IF I manage to track down the cause (if it isn’t any of the above…), then as I see it i’ll need a whole new fan motor, and lots of cabling.
Any advice?
Thanks again.
Re: BOSCH oven HBN730550GB/03 Dead
I’ll take a look at that in a little while. It won’t be a standard fuse will it? It’ll be something a little more sturdy, and not the type of thing I can pick up at my local diy merchants.
Also, if it is that fuse, is there likely to be an underlying cause, or is it just one of those things given the age (10yrs+) of the unit?
Re: Bosch SGV53E03GB/56 pump not stopping
I have a very similar problem with a Bosch SRV43M03GB – it’s a slimline, very simple controls. Switch on and close the door normally. Now when I switch it on the pump starts straight away and just continues. I’ve reset, checked the drain and filter but still it persists. What and, more importantly, where is this red float microswitch you mention?
It’s been a good runner for 7 years but if I could get it working again it would be brilliant.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Matt.Re: Daewoo FR-661NW
You misunderstood – I wasn’t suggesting that it made no difference, I was simply asking for advice as to whether or not I would be able to run it ‘safely’ without for a week or two.
As it is it’s been off now for a good few days and it doesn’t feel any hottor than it was (I have a thermometer next to the coil to keep an eye on it 😉 )Anyway, found this motor http://www.4daewoo.co.uk/cgi-bin/product.pl?PID=1210459&brand=&model=FR-661&part=fan
Just wondered if anyone else was able to source it at a better price.
