Re: Daewoo Frost free fridge freezer gas leak??
Lucy
Check that all your seal are nice & clean. Mould and decaying food waste can give off some peculiar odours.
Have you cleaned your fridge recently with anything particularly caustic? The plasticisers in many of these seals don’t take at all well to strong alkaline/base compounds and can degrade upon contact releasing unpleasant smells as a bonus.

I think everybody on here would recommend switching back to powder, salt & rinse aid since the 3-in-1 tablets give a ‘one size fits all’ dose which may not be appropriate for your machine and/or area.
I’m not at all sure what the banging might have been, and I can’t think of any link to using salt that may have caused this. Usually banging is caused by something floating around inside it (lightweight plastic containers are good for this) which get clattered by the spray arms.
Blast damage? 😯
Let’s hope not.Craig

Re: Stoves combined Fan switch/thermostat

What was the original fault with the oven?
If you can hear the stat clicking on ond off when you turn it then it may be that it’s your element that’s blown.
The element should be in stock at Shop@.

Re: diplomat ADP8132 B/ In D/WASHER, PART No?, AND PRICE??
Tell
Part number is 816290672
Retails at £105.06 exc VAT from MFI (should be a phone number for them in the weblinks section).You could also try Smeg since they built it, although I doubt that they would be any cheaper.
Incidently, if the fault on this machine is that the first three lights are flashing and the fifth is on then this board may just need resetting. This board services two slightly different machines (Smeg’s own and the MFI version).
Do a search on the dishwasher forum for ADP8242 reset procedure.Craig

Cutlery luing across the element, especially near the thermostat, is a prime suspect for this. Check that your cutlery baskey isn’t letting anything slip through or that long knives aren’t getting knocked out of the basket by the spray arms.

Re: Diplomat 8242 Error – flashing lights – Help
It still sounds like the board needs reset.
Apart form a faulty timer & motor a blockage in the pressure system (air break, pressure switch hose) and/or the regen chamber may be causing this.
Messy but managable job for an engineer to clean these out.

Re: Diplomat ADP8224 Error code E3
Other symptoms which can cause an E3 fault on this machine include:
Faulty electrical connections. Usually worn/broken at the bottom of the door.
Spray arms not rotating freely
Motor (wash pump) failed
Timer failed
If it’s the timer or the motor then you’re looking at an expensive repair (parts £100 +)
Faulty wiring should only be looked at by a professional
Check the spray arms rotate (they also detach easily for cleaning). If that doesn’t improve matters then you’ll need an engineer to correctly diagnose the faulty component.

Re: de dietrich oven door hinge “twisted”
craigw wrote: dishwasher: type: VZ9996U1-1
Probably not the hinges but rather the cord/bands which go around them. A much easier job to replace 😀
The oven hinges are a straightforward enough swap as well, but make sure it actually is the hinges that are at fault. If the frame of the oven is twisted then it’s a lot more serious. Also, check that the hinge receivers (where the hinge rests on the oven) isn’t worn. These should be fairly flat and not dug out in a ‘U’ shape. These are a lot less fun to replace.
Someone should be able to provide you with part numbers and prices for the above parts should they be required.
Remeber, if in doubt call in a professional (try Repairs@ for a local engineer) rather than throwing money at a problem in the hope that you’re ordering the right thing.

Re: de dietrich oven door hinge “twisted”
Craig
You’re better taking the model numbers from the appliances themselves rather than the handbooks as sometimes these manuals cover a range of models.
The model numbers can be found on the rating plates which are normally located on the door frame.

Re: Bit of advice re washing machine leak
Have the plumbing checked for leaks as well.
Make sure that everything is OK under the sink, particularly where the waste hose joins on to the spigot (assuming it’s not on a standpipe).
Also check that the fill hoses and their supply are sound.
While the machine might not be leaking it’s worth having a look round about it before going any further.
