Re: Hotpoint Mistral Fridge Freezer Error Code EA
Essentially, it means that the board cannot detect the damper or baffle that directs the air to the fridge.
So faulty baffle, wiring, thermistor (maybe).

Re: Faulty Bosch KUR15444GB undercounter fridge: advice
10 years old, sounds like the compressor has chucked it, I’d replace it.
The fault you describe is highly indicative of the compressor failed, could well be due to the extended run times previously.
If you book a call with Bosch they’ll come out, scrap it and charge you for the privilege.

Re: Google Adwords
Nice and clean, looks professional and does what it says on the tin.
I wouldn’t spend on Adwords for that as, whilst it’d get you more traffic, whether it’s the traffic you want is debatable. I’d leave it and see what the natural results were like first, hone it over time and see how it goes.
Do the Google Local thing though, you know the maps thing Ally was on about a couple of years back, still valid, still very worth doing.

Re: Lg Multiflow GR 359sq
Hi Mike,
It does sound as if the thermistor and air damper assy are working okay.
There is a fan that will drive air up into the fridge in the free, known as an evaporator fan motor and if that’s failed then you’d get that. However, you should hear that running if it’s good and, if it’s not then the freezer temp will not be stable as it drives air around the freezer as well.
I believe there’s also a fan motor in the fridge but it’s not terribly clear.

Re: Miele G1124 fault.
Hi Rob,
The problem is that Miele are Miele and nobody outside Miele has any info on fault codes etc. Great machines, shame they’re so damn hard to get technical support, info and parts for!
So it may be, nobody knows.
In which case, you’re stuck with Miele service and, that ain’t cheap!

Re: NEFF: U1661NOGB/02 FD 8201 Oven Door not shutting tight
The hinges hold the door closed against the seal.
If the seal’s dodgy, it’ll leak condensation especially when cooing foods with a high moisture content, which is most stuff.
Ditto if the hinges don’t pull the door closed correctly.
The runners are a possible for sure, but you would expect to find the door out of alignment albeit slightly if they were faulty and nothing else.
So in order I’d be looking at the seal, then hinges, then runners.
Some blatant plugs for you but may help in any event…

The hinges are: http://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/267845-oven-door-hinge

Re: Sarena SC100 hinge type
The two used on that machine are as follows…

If one’s gone, the other is on the way out though, almost a stone eyed certainty.
But I think, can’t be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} but nearly there, that those are just Ingot hinges that are available here for an awful lot less:

Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers
Is it another one?
There’s no mention of brand which is fairly normal for these types of reports.
Usually as, until it’s investigated mentioning a name or categorically laying blame to a brand is a sure fire (no pun intended) way to get a civil lawsuit brought against you.
I see these sorts of reports all the time, at least two or three a week and they all follow the same pattern generally and in all honesty, they’re not at any greater or less frequency than they largely have been historically.
Certainly they’ve been more sensationalist of late, that’s probably true.
I expect people just now are just more “sensitive” to them than they normally may have been given all the media coverage of late.

Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers
Not really Martin.
Pragmatism wins over rhetoric.
If I buy a car and decide in my own wisdom to drive in the UK on the wrong side of the road, my bad if I get killed. Entirely my problem and if I happen to injure of God forbid kill someone else doing that, I’m guilty of manslaughter at best, probably murder.
If I don’t service that car and get the brakes and tyres maintained and it flies of the road and I die, my bad, my fault. Same applies if someone else is injured or killed.
In any event, the point being that if I choose to ignore or not follow the rules and instructions for use of that vehicle, it’s all on me. It is MY responsibility to take care, not the car manufacturers and not the legislature.
It isn’t the fault of the manufacturer.
It isn’t the fault of the legislation.
No change to legislation could prevent it.
Mainly as you cannot legislate against laziness and idiocy and irrespective of what is called for you’ll never be as ingenious as some of the idiots out there.
With these dryers, if there’s a build up of lint in there, the filters were not maintained correctly. End of story.
That I am afraid is all on the owner.
You can argue the toss all day about coiled elements and whatever else you want but, in the end, that lint should not be there, full stop.
And, that’s pretty much all that can go up and cause the sort of damage and spread of fire we see demonstrated.
Oh and changes to UK legislation alone to “make them more safe”, won’t happen. I’d put money on it.

Re: Flavel Milano 60 Glass Hob Lid Springs
Are you sure you have them the correct way around?
It’s all I can think on and, without seeing it, really hard to envisage.

Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers
Martin wrote:What you never get to hear about, at least I haven’t, is if anyone has successfully sued Whirlpool over all this?
No because all you need do is ask one question, what can go on fire to cause the level of damage that’s usually seen?
There is only one answer really, for it to get that bad and that’s there was something in it to ignite be it in the drum or around it. If around it, it shouldn’t be there, the filters were not cleared correctly. If it was in the drum then it was flammable and shouldn’t have been in the thing in the first place.
There’s some legal firm trying to do a class action type affair against Whirlpool but I doubt it’ll get anywhere. Either it’ll get kicked to the kerb or WP will throw them less than it’d cost to fight their way to make them go away.
And, if WP do that then it’ll be subject to a strict non-disclosure so, you’ll never know what happened.

Re: Liebherr Fridge problem
Depends on the setup.
Often the compressor won’t stop running, the fridge fan might usually though. They’re not all the same.
And I can’t think on any reason the light would pulse in exact time to the compressor running unless it’s been tampered with and wired up incorrectly.

Re: Approved Repair Engineer Pages
Took me ages to find this damn thread!
I bet you all forgot about this facility which, I have to say I’m considering limiting to repairers that are both WTA and on the engineer search to as, from a customer perspective, that makes sense.
Anyways, I finally got around to spending a little time and giving these pages a bit of love. I could do more but I was losing the will to live updating pages.
The best example, much as it pains me to admit it and I’ll likely never live it down, is Barrie’s page here:
http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/abou … appliances
It’s a good way to get your name online, gives you a backlink and so on to boost your own website if anyone is wanting to be on there.
And, as you can see, most of those pages while they don’t get massive traffic, do get a fair bit for what they are.

Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers
It always amazes me how every time one goes up it was always, always, “maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions” and regularly cleaned.
Yet what we all see in the field is the opposite of that.
