Re: Lieberherr fridge freezer CUN3913 service no 0981086-03
I have know cars to be unrepairable, even at 5 yrs, just visit any scrap dealer. As l stated it’s not possible to make a commercially viable product with access to that area.
Did the engineer place any test equipment to the system? Or simply press the wall, which may have been soft from day one and not actually the fault.
Insulation failures are repairable, you simply remove the old insulation by digging it out via the rear. Gaffer tape a sheet of perspex and purchase via a chemical company the expandable foam, poor into cavity and seal. Did it monthly on Hotpot Ice Diamond fridge freezers which had poor insulation failure on the base, obvious by a lump of ice under unit, although took an hour longer due to removal of compressor and turning unit upside down.
So your unit is not unrepairable, you just need to find a company that can do it. Manufacturer won’t have the facility to do it.
Expensive products don’t necessarily last longer than cheap products, their aimed at people who don’t have issue with money. A bit like Ferrari’s anybody who has owned one knows how impractical, unreliable and uncomfortable they are, yet they still spend thousands every few months on servicing. Even Rolls Royce still fit parts from cars most people can afford.
So l would suggest if £900 for a fridge is a lot of money to you go buy one for £300.
You may also want a second opinion on your current product.

Camping burners should not be used within a domestic dwelling, your home.

Oh dear. Had you taken out the 5 yr you would have been offered to extend yearly. No product is built to be problem free, cars are a good example. The issue with warranties is thanks to consumer programmes who fail to inform of the benefits you’d likely have a replacement fridge. I constantly hear people complaining of faults on appliances, they have components that wear with use and need replacing, unfortunately consumers don’t like fridges with exposed pipework, therefore issues occur. You also have to be aware that when you bought the appliance or any product nobody would have stated it would last forever, assuming it would is a mistake.

Re: Seimens, Bosch or Panasonic Washing Machine?
Almost all washers are using Balay designs, including Siemens and there built in Poland, the only German bit is the name and they control the finacials. Very little is German enginered.
Re: bosch WAE24061GB/10
If spins empty it’s a user issue, if not measure resistance within the motor, there are more components within a motor than just the brushes.
Re: SMEG A1-1 fan oven not heating
Since you got 12 volts you obviously have a device to measure voltage. Visual look at the selector switch, the often melt, show signs of burning. The connections will have changed colour, the contact arms also. If not follow wires from the fan element, neutral will join grill element or fan motor, live will go to a safety stat, sometimes the neutral will as well. Easy way to tell if stat is rodgered, simply remove wires and join together, if heats you need to replace. If not follow wire back further, chances are it’ll terminate in the switch, a good torch will show you the way.
Re: whirlpool taking over indesit
That why they are recruiting engineers to start in January when it’s completed and service go’s live.
Re: Bosch dishwasher not heating up – unless I open the door
Check water pressure/level. When you open close the door air is trapped forcing water into the appliance. You may want to check microswitch on element and water level via the flow meter, possible too little is entered, units believes it’s correct but not enough has filled for heater protection to actuate until you open and close the door forcing the water pressure down into the sump.
