    Dozens of posts on the subject. Use ‘search’ to peruse at your leisure.

    Basically the plastic tub warps and leaks on only the very long hot cycles. Sealant can be the only solution (pardon the pun) 😉

    Go SEARCH for others comments on the subject 😀

    A similar model (at least with the same spec) would be a U17M42N0GB/01.

    ovendesperation wrote:I don’t understand the difference between:
    1) Top and bottom heat (with fan assistance)
    2) Fan oven heat (from element encircling the fan)

    1) Is baking requiring intensive heat where the need for browning both top and bottom is required. (Middle shelf only recommended)

    Most manufacturers have discontinued cooking option (1)

    2) Fan oven provides even air circulation irrespective of shelf position and the temperature can be reduced by at least 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} over conventional heat baking/roasting.

    Below is another guide for typical oven symbols: –

    Re: Cant identify oven symbol

    So, going clockwise from Zero (0)

    Fan assisted grill
    Grill only
    Top and bottom heat (with fan assistance)
    Top and bottom heat only (as in conventional oven)
    Fan oven heat (from element encircling the fan)
    …and finally Defrost (fan only with no heat)
    😀

    Re: London Fire

    The Grenfell disaster and reference to a F/F possible catalyst spurred me to enquire what make my daughter has in her flat. Turns out it is part of the 2000/2006 recall (she never registered the purchase :rolls: ) Beko safety recall phoneline very responsive and engineer calling on the 20th to carry out the mod…Meanwhile she’s using one of my F/F’s, just to be safe. 😀

    Re: Checkatrade

    Loads of threads on this. In 2014 it got the thumbs down from the usual suspects. 😉

    It’s based entirely on good review feedback from your customers. All reviews are closely vetted before being published so little chance of false stuff being published. Membership is costly and, as you note, overall few appliance repairers choose to join. (Got three in my patch spread over 25 miles).

    In order to gain extra work then, IMO, Checkatrade are a no no.

    Re: What’s the worst injury you’ve had repairing appliances

    Ah! A ‘show us your scars’ thread 😀

    Every time I roll up my sleeves I gaze at my ‘Hotpoint 95452’ scar. Silly me tried to stop this machine slipping off the back of my van back in the early 80’s. The jagged base ripped into my arm. Blood everywhere, dash to A&E…..

    Re: AEG Down draught extractor

    Fan is clearly jammed from what you state so it will need dismantling and checking. Refrain from trying it again in case you burn out the motor. 😉
