Re: 7 year old AEG W/ Drier
Now you mention it, I did notice during the pre-select sequence, that the soap drawer mechanism was operating, but I thought this was just the mechanics of the timer responding to the timer position/ programme selected?
NeilRe: Dorset integrated oven???
That makes it even more difficult, as I phoned Electrolux, who looked in to it for me, & eventually said it wasn’t one of their appliances. Thanks for the lead anyway- I’ll follow it up again tomorrow,
Cheers,Jazz
Re: TEST METER CALIBRATION
Martin: I actually do have another one spare, for just such an occasion, & incase one meter goes faulty. I therefore think 2X £117 + vat to be not reasonable. I actually own 2X Gossen MetraHit Insulation/ resistance/ temperature meters, an earth loop tester, a microwave monitor, & a few other ‘spare’ meters. I think the cost of calibration is unbeleivable- how do they calibrate an electronic/ digital meter anyway? How much work can actually be involved? If we all had every meter calibrated every year, it would cost us a fortune. I’d still like some guidance from the industry & from meter manufacturers as to how often ‘light users’ should have their meters calibrated.
Dave: Good one- a real chicken & egg situation. & who tests the calibration machines that test the calibration machines that test the calibration machines???? I might go back to the wet finger test- I could do with a few days off work.

Re: TEST METER CALIBRATION
Yikes! Just tried GMC- £117 + vat & a 3 week turn around time. i think i’ll shop around. I’ll give Celtec a try then- I’ve got one of their Microwave meters. I think Robin also do any brand callibration. I’ll report back when I know more.
Also, what do people generally think about annual calibration? I reckon the meter manufacturers state this, because usually, they are used by electricians, and are given much more useage & hammer than we give them. I’m sure bi-annually will suffice in our case,
