Hi Iadom
Wow! many thanks for the response, I had a feeling it would be the bearings before you replied.
I know ths is way out of my league so I guess I’m going to start saving my pennies for when my machine finally gives up the ghost on me.As always, many thanks for your advice,
Have a great weekend.

Re: Thermostat Phial
Morning Chaps, well guess what? I managed to fix it, 4 long hours but I DID IT! sorry Martin I had gone when you posted, my posts were out of sync yesterday, I wasn’t ignoring you hun.
Thank you once again k and Martin for your advice in was invaluable.

I will defo use this site again, please take pity on me again.
Happy Christmas to you and many many thanks again, X
Re: Thermostat Phial
Ok, no pressure here 🙂 but what would you do? I’m already resigned to the fact that I’m not going to be able to fix this problem, to be honest the unit is at least 20 years old and owes me no favours, but the stubborn mule in me won’t let it lie :)))
Re: Thermostat Phial
O lordy! how do I get into then?? any ideas please…apart from a sledgehammer ! what about removing the metal cooling plate?
Re: Thermostat Phial
Oh dear, I think then that I will have to give up at this point, I will have a look tonight and try and see if I can get to the back of the unit, I can see the “grill” thing at the back and if I can get this off I should have a better idea whether I can remove the backing… pardon my ignorance to what it’s called, this is my first and I think probably my last attempt at repairing white goods! thank you again mate.
Re: Thermostat Phial
Hi k
thanks for this, advice heeded! I’m getting the feeling this is not something I can get wrong – even by a little bit.
So if I poke the phial down the whole do you know where it comes out to be attached? also if I do this can I leave the old one in place rather than pulling it through the body of the unit? I knnda think they maybe cable ties holding it to other wires.
Thanks K, appreciate the advice, Novice DIY x
Re: Thermostat Phial
No, I connected the new one, connection by connector, when it came to the “wire” i gave it a little pull but as it didn’t feel as though it was free – felt attached to something, I thought I’d better ask about it. Would I be able to disconnect the old one and connect to the new thermostat???
