KeymasterYou can from the serial number if you can get it, Vestel is 20/22 digits, if it’s not that it’s either Termikel for cooking (generally) or some Chinese stuff in laundry and refrigeration.

KeymasterThe Vestel stuff is okay. The Termikel stuff is not.

KeymasterTermikel made thing, horrid and the only hope is parts place (don’t use it so don’t have a URL) that’s Minerva that you can read all about in various threads. 😉
The challenge for you is, getting it back to looking and fitting close to as good as when you started. And not getting your hands sliced in the process.

KeymasterNo, same server.
Can happen on occasion if there’s intensive processes running and high traffic levels but that’s rare.

KeymasterI need to work out the moderation stuff to stop the suspects.

KeymasterIt could be other things, that’s just where I’d start given the description as it won’t start heating till it fills etc.
As a rough guide, whatever it’s trying to energise at the point it trips is the most likely suspect.

KeymasterLiebherr. Done.
Other than mega-money, that’s as good as you’ll get.
Drop below that and Bosch, Electrolux Group etc are all much of a muchness.
Below that, Beko and most of the branded stuff.
But if you want it to last, be able to get parts and so on for many years, Liebherr.
