Re: Hotpoint EW74 Thermostat issue
No I can see that just by looking at them they are different. I haven’t pulled it out yet, thats my job for tomorrow. I have the engineer booked to come out on Tuesday so if I can’t find it I will just wait for him. I suppose it might be a good idea anyway to get the problem diagnosed fully I just loath to spend £100 to repair a £300 cooker that is likely to go wrong again soon as its 6 years old now :/
Re: Hotpoint EW74 Thermostat issue
I think once upon a time there was a sticker but its not there now. It was the first place I checked so I think it must have been there at one point. I take it with out it I am buggered?

Re: Hotpoint EW74 Thermostat issue
Thank you for getting back to me. I am quite confident with the repair having found a video online on how to do it.
The fault isn’t overheating its that it thinks it hotter than it is, the oven ready light goes out within 5 mins of turning it on (and the oven wasn’t that good when new) I suppose it will over heat as it has no means of telling the temp.
The one major issue I have come across is the other you have highlighted of not being able to confirm the full model number. I have come across this when looking for the parts for it and was concerned it would be a problem, is there anyway to find the model number on the oven as on the front it just says ‘EW74 Slot in’?
Thanks
Re: Siemens SE25M275GB won’t move past wash cycle
Hi,
Thanks again for your help. Have discovered that it doesn’t appear to be heating properly either, you get a waft of warm air when you open the door mid cycle but the water is cold. Looking back I have been noticing it not drying properly for a week or so either.
I have spoken to a local repair company and they have advised about £170 (fitted) for the repair and I have looked up the price of the Heater Exchange and it is £120 so not worth the cost of repair 🙁
Really appreciate you answering my query though.
Sian
