    Ambient temperature doesn’t seem to make any difference. i.e. during nighttime when it is cooler this cycle remains the same. All my previous freezers never had this problem and just came on a few times a day usually when the door had been opened or when putting food into the freezer.

    Checking the running time cycle, the freezer is on for 22 minutes and then off for 24 minutes and then keeps repeating this cycle

    One more question, the freezer is a frost free upright free standing.
    Being a frost free freezer, when the freezer is auto defrosting does the freezer tend to run on for longer during the defrosting cycle?

    Don’t think this is due to the hot weather because it’s been like this for a few months. Could it be that the freezer needs regassing, if there is such a service?

    This cooker has two ovens, left one is a conventional type oven (the one with the problem) and the right oven is a fan type oven, which is working ok.
    The cooker is a Rangemaster Toledo 110 Ceramic, it appears that on the left oven there are two elements, one on the top which is easy to access and there is also a base element, which I cannot even see.
    Anyone replaced the base element on this type of cooker? If so how do you gain access for removal of this element?

    when you measured the thermistor did you use a higher range. the range you need to use must be at least 100,000 ohms

    Yes, I tried the 20k, 200k and 2M range all open circuit

    I connected the thermistor to a multi meter for a ohms test which confirmed that thermistor is open circuit, also found that one of the thermostats had tripped since my previous test. If a thermistor is faulty could this cause the thermostat to trip with the result of no heat? I dont think the Aquarius model displays error codes?

    Re: Hoover PU2110 Replacement Filter Problem?

    Thank you that makes sense. Just wish Hoover had stated that some models require a different filter cover..

    Re: Hoover PU2110 Replacement Filter Problem?

    Tried that and it doesn’t work, the old filter is a cloth type 1mm thick and glued onto the filter cover the new filter is around 7mm thick. If the new filter is used it is impossible to attach the filter cover.

    Re: B&Q Cooker Hood – Motor not Working?

    It was the motor at fault. However, I am not happy with the replacement motor, it’s noisy and makes a scraping noise. Checking the end float in the motor it does seem excessive (see video) any comments if I should return the motor for a replacement?

    Re: B&Q Cooker Hood – Motor not Working?

    It looks like the installation was fitted without the charcoal filters. So there is a possibility that the motor internals are all greased up, hope to strip the motor down over the weekend.

    Would excessive grease cause the motor to fail? and if so what’s the best method of cleaning the grease from the motor internals?

    Re: Beko Frost Free Fridge/Freezer – Electrical Smell

    I don’t think it’s a refrigerant leak. The temperature still seems to be steady and the smell seems to appear at various intervals, usually a week or two. I am suspecting some kind of fault with the frost free system?

    Re: Samsung P1253 washer – knocking noise at end of cycle?

    Yes well done with your analysis.:salute:
    I don’t think I will bother with a new drum it’s not economically viable to do.
    What causes this kind of corrosion the machine is only a few years old?

    update it was the drum spider one leg corroded and cracked.

    any idea if the spiders are available on their own?
