Re: Neff B6774N0GB/04
Sorry, didn’t realise until I looked up the user manual that this is an oven/microwave combo. See page 55 of the user manual and all will be revealed though.:wink:

Firstly the selector switch needs replacing
The drum bearings may be an issue

Lee8 cannot give you any clue as he has no idea himself.
Remove the lid first in order to remove the side panels. The lid latched into place at the back, simply unlatch the clips and slide the lid backwards to release.
Ignore further posts from lee8.

No such error as E19 unless you have it arse about face and E91 being a configuration error. 😉
Re: John Lewis heat pump t dryer, helpppppppp
That error is associated with a motor error of some kind. If you email me I can send you the service manual.
Best of luck with that one. 😉
Re: How can heavy restriction of repair information be legal
I overlooked this point you made Rob….
robmarshall wrote:Likewise, the electronics, within a typical washing machine, have become so much more complex and the software coding information seems to be held tightly to the manufacturers’ chests. As mentioned before, this has been outlawed in relation to the automotive sector. Therefore, has a legal precedent been set, I wonder?
I venture to suggest the “electronics” are far from complex though I would agree that access and coding information is withheld by the majority of manufacturers. To outlaw that practice would be welcome news indeed. Though right now the major problem the trade suffers is not only lack of technical information but that you can’t even get spare parts information. Many of the major manufacturers restrict access to schematic part diagrams and part numbers. Common parts information between models also restricted information. Spare parts wholesalers collude with manufacturers and together dictate the resale price therefore much restricting a free and open market. Price disparity between trade and retail negligible. Very often spare parts wholesalers retail their stock on-line far cheaper than they sell it to the trade. So a ‘level playing field’ looks more like the outline of the Himalayas.
The further you delve the worse the outlook appears. Meanwhile the manufacturers can’t make enough new appliances and the Chinese are coming into the white goods market BIG TIME…..!!!

Maybe naming and ‘shaming’ manufacturers might work, after they are given a fair right-to-reply, of course.
Your perception toward the “public….influencing legislation” is sadly misplaced. To the contrary, the general public at large are apathetic toward the frailties of the modern domestic appliance. They readily accept that most are merely short term investments and easily replaced. Even national TV and media warnings of the recent Beko and Bosch fires has had no effect whatsoever on their sales. In fact both Beko and Bosch have increased their sales since, they can’t keep up with demand. The “naming and shaming” had the very opposite effect.
Finally, “Legislation” also results in regulation which in turn makes it even more costly for those that can be repaired to get repaired.
I hope that is sufficient feed-back for you to realise there are no similarities between the motor trade and white goods. 😉
Re: Fridge freezer for a garage pls?
No not at all. Modern fridges are controlled by electronics, it ain’t gonna work unless you heat the place best part of 5 – 6 months a year. Try to keep hold of your old one is my advice or find space in the house!
