Re: Neff oven door
Silicon glue is your friend. Just remove the door to a another place to allow working, remove the door glasses, and old adhesive. Degrease the inner door area and glass contact areas and run plenty of silicon where the old adhesive was. (I use brown silicon). Sit the glass down again and allow 2 days to cure. Trim excess silicon away with a newish/sharp stanley blade. Reassemble door and return to the customers house to refit door to oven.
You will need a high silicon content adhesive, and not acrylic either.
Re: Miele back-light goes out when door opens
Could it be just a sticky door lock, in that the contacts aren’t switching over or being allowed to switch over fast enough? I find many simple “door possibility” faults can be cured by the “WD40 into the door lock” trick.
Just an idea…
Re: Bosch WFF 2001
What hasn’t been said is the contents of the drum when the flashing occurs. If the drum wa splenty of water then the pump would be favourite for me, if however the drum was empty of water or marginally filled then possibly a cold valve going o/c. I am not aware of pressure switch problems similar to the washer driers.
Re: Bosch WFF 2001
My thinking:
Machine washes and spins when helped…motor must be ok(or brushes not worn out ..yet)
Machine drains into standpipe when asked/helped, therefore the drain box at the rear can’t be totally blocked.I would therefore suggest the pump is the problem. I would imagine it is the magnetic sort (the impellor will spring back or forward when rotated as it’s other side is in a magnetic field). The magnetic pumps “stall”, and whilst most need a good whack to free before replacement, Bosch ones do the intermittent thing more than most.

Re: Miele tumble drier won’t run for >5 mins
Is there a hose restrictor fitted? Miele’s can have a removeable vent hose restrictor that reduces the bore of the vent hose at the coupling, and is easily removed to allow full bore flow.
It may also be your air-brick is causing an air-flow blockage.
Re: Zanussi Z9282T only partially draining
If it has the original “Washcraft” range air chamber (grey plastic moulding screwed to the drum) it may well be blocked. It may however either have the newer (or as a modification) “tube” type air chamber (both types connect to the sump hose), which ever it has if the machine drains but no spin I suggest a blocked air chamber. The early grey moulded type aren’t available to the best of my memory as they came at the end as a mod kit including the “tube” type air chamber.
Re: Child Safety READ THIS
To my way of thinking, the kitchen and its associated appliances are “work enviroment”. I wouldn’t let small kids play with my tools or power tools, so why should parents let their kids play with appliances?
AFAI remember, weren’t Zanussi sued years ago by some parents because their young child recieved serious burns when she stuck her hands on a hot oven door? Didn’t Zanussi then counter sue the parents (on behalf of the child) for letting the child play in a work enviroment…..and Zanussi won as the judge agreed it was a work enviroment and the parents were negligent?
Re: Cleaning stainless steel appliances
WD 40 for me. Degreases and leaves a nice constant finish, no smears or finger marks.
Re: Miele G 646 SC PLUS Drying Fan filled with crud
The fan drain tube blocks up, and causes the water to back-up then leak as it fills the fan housing.
Clearing the drain off tube of the debris within usually sorts it, and no I wouldn’t strip anything else down.Re: Electrolux built in oven
I had need of the same part a little while ago. As far as I can remember, it was item no 999 on the parts list as it isn’t shown on the exploded view.
Re: Neff tumble dryer prob r4381 x1 gb/01
Agree you need damp clothes for it to keep going. Always a good idea to check the condenser matrix too.
Re: Bosch Excel SGS56E02GB/45 stopped working
Sounds to me like a siezed wash impellor. Either unjam or new impellor kit.
New impellor kit isn’t DIY.
Re: Zanussi T/D not drying TC470
What about a blocked door ducting?
ie below the filter and out at the condenser coupling
