Re: Are you busy?
Yes, been hearing much the same from a number of quarters lately and, we have been quiet as well.

Re: Candy fridge/freezer
It’s got sensors but not a lot of info on it at all, not even a blowout diagram so sorta flying blind here.
It could be a sensor, that’s possible.
Could be something to do with air distribution or possibly the compressor.
Hard to say to be honest.

Re: Candy fridge/freezer
Without a model to see what the layout is, it’s impossible to tell you much of anything.

Re: Upright freezer – ice emanating from internal workings
Full defrost, 24 hours with the door open at least then restart it. See if that cures it.

Re: Hotpoint HM315FF fridge freezing food
If we had access to the tech info, maybe. But we don’t so we can’t.
If ti’s foamed in, depending where it is, it may not be possible to replace it. But again, with out access to the tech info…

Re: Hotpoint HM315FF fridge freezing food
It’ll be a thermistor then most probably not sending the correct reading the board.
Trouble is, I can’t see the thermistor as a spare part so it’s probably foamed in and non-replaceable.

For WTA membership enquiries you need to contact Tracey on:

I do not have access to that info.

Re: Smeg Double Oven – Main oven not working
Possibly just a faulty safety stat or timer although it does sound like the time which is, in effect, just a big mains switch.
If it’s an original A2 it way older though.

Re: Lamona double oven, main oven not heating up when fan on
It’s this element in it:

And highly likely to be that alone.

Re: bush ad66tss
Probably this that’s gone, think it’s the same on in all versions of that cooker:

Re: Rangemaster Frost Free Problems
My personal opinion on these “Rangemaster” side by sides is, shall we say, not so good.
They’re not Rangemasters at all or AGA as if you slap an AGA badge on one it’s pretty much the same thing, nor the quality that most buyers would expect from the brands.
It is in fact I believe a Chinese Hisense made machine as explained in this little video we made…

They’re not wonderful in other words and I’ve spoken with a few of the repairers that really don’t rate them. I am of course sugar coating that somewhat.
Part prices are simply horrific. Tech info not great. Tech support not exactly exemplary either.
All of which comes together to likely explain why that getting someone that will take it on for repair may prove challenging as when you do take something like this on as a repairer being paid to fix it, you own it. Or at least that problem on it till its solved.
If you struggle to get parts, they’re expensive, you’ve little support or tech on it then, as a repairer myself for many years, it gets to a point where it’s just not worth the hassle. A business decision is made to avoid rather than take on what may well prove a boatload of hassles.
Nobody wants to turn away business but, in the service industry, that is sometimes the best thing you can do from a business perspective.
We have to do the same thing on some spare parts as well for some brands or machines, to be completely blunt, there’s not just no profit in it, it’s often a low to deal with. And, businesses cannot afford to lose money, especially small repairers or spare parts suppliers.
Some might view that as harsh but, like everybody else, all these guys don’t work for free. And the margins on repairs and spares are desperately low, like wafer thin.
Now that story changes is you can get the information, parts at sensible prices and so on but, for some brands or machines, that’s a pipe dream at best.
We’ve a whole manufacturer section that will often explain why the repairers won’t touch certain brands or products. Just as this video does to some extent.
I know that won’t help with your problem as such but I hope it allows you to perhaps better understand why you’re finding what you have a little better.
