Re: Belling CHU165 CHU177 Hob Problem

Damn!

Well spotted Colin.

The hob model is CHU165 or CHU177, and I don’t have the serial number to hand.

Wondering if you know the method of heat control for these hobs.

Thanks again,

Re: Belling XOU252SS Ser: 058585125 Hob Problem

I’m struggling for information on this problem.

Perhaps someone could let me have a wiring diagram, or advise as to where to obtain one.

I have tried Belling in the past, with little help.

Good morning,

Could some kind person please re-locate my query to Technical, as I realise I’ve put this in the incorrect forum!

Thank you,

Re: Oven Thermostat Testing

Hello again,

The meter reads “OL” with the leads disconnected.

A little confusing as meter read “OL” on a new Hotpoint element!

Re: Oven Thermostat Testing

Hello again,

Yes, both readings are “OL” on my Martindale Insulation Tester.

The new element gave a very high resistance reading, (can’t remember the exact figure) although a new Hotpoint/Indesit element I tested the other day for comparison also read “OL”

Best wishes,

Jon

Re: Oven Thermostat Testing

Yes thank you,

I renewed the element late p.m. and all well; oven now easily reaching, and maintaining high temperature.

One to be wary of in the future.

Re: Oven Thermostat Testing

Hello chezza,

It’s purely the fan oven at fault.

Whereas the lower element can be selected with fan operation, the customers concern is the fan oven not heating above 200 degrees C.

This is definetely when the fan oven is selected.

In the user manual this clearly states this to be the circular heating element, together with fan operation.

Static oven heating can also be selected, with heat from top and bottom elements.

Re: Oven Thermostat Testing

Thanks again,

Yes, I tested the element as normal with my insulation tester, (one connection to a terminal, the other connection to the element itself) and thought as the reading was “O/L” with 500 volts applied it was ok; thus I renewed the thermostat.

However, I did not test for continuity until just now.

With my separate multimeter set on the 0-200 Ohms scale, I obtained 22.3 Ohms across the terminals.

A new Hotpoint/Indesit element provides a similar reading of 21.6 Ohms, so I remain a little bemused.

Re: Oven Thermostat Testing

Hello Specialist01269,

Thanks for your feedback.

The elements’ resistance goes “OL” on my insulation tester, although doesn’t look too healthy; i.e. it is a 3 turn element, and is discoloured/not uniform in colour/appearance.

Have you or anyone come across faulty elements, even though they give high resistance readings?

Re: Zanussi TLE 1116 top loading washing m/c

Thanks for your reply Dave,

The m/c’s Serial No: 417 00050 Type: 98P22699

Instruction Manual states that when END light flashes ten times, the flaps of the drum door are open.

I wonder if there is a sensor sending a false message, although I’m mystified as to why the wool and delicates programmes appear fine.

Re: Baumatic BT243OSS Range Cooker

Hello chezza,

Yes, there is an element under the oven floor, although I don’t know if it, or the upper element is used in conjunction with the circular fan oven element.

Also not sure of upper and lower element condition, as I didn’t test them due to circular element not getting red hot.

Shelves or base not coated in foil.

Regards,

Re: Fagor FBI981X1 Integrated Oven

Dear ben–nevis,

I would like to confirm that the problem relating the Fagor oven was indeed due to the door switch assembly.

One has renewed the unit today, and all is well.

Thanks again ben–nevis.

Re: Fagor FBI981X1 Integrated Oven

Thanks for your feedback ben–nevis,

I will inspect the door lock as advised, and agree this may well be the cause, as both components are not working for no apparant reason.

Will report back later this week.

Thanks again,

Re: Beko DRV5 62W tumble dryer staining laundry – now noisy!

Good evening,

The above tumble dryer is now fine, other than a moderate squealing noise on spin.

As reported several weeks ago, the m/c was staining laundry, so I renewed the nylon/plastic front bearings and felt.

This has cured the staining problem.

However, about one week after the bearing renewal, the customer reported a squealing noise on spin.

After checking, I located the source of the noise ( front drum/bearing area!) and sprayed a small amount of WD40 in the area.

This immediately stopped the noise, and all was well.

Alas, about 4-5 weeks later I have just received a phone call from the customer to say the squeal has returned.

I understand WD40 does eventually dry out, and wonder how I can cure the problem permanently.

Should I contact Beko for their opinion; ( perhaps the nylon/plastic bearings are to blame?) or does someone have an answer for a solution?

Best wishes,

jontymox
