Re: Retired Accountant Requests Advice with his Cooker

Hello, Martin

I’ve been a bit of a wally, I’m afraid.

When I told my wife that the oven wouldn’t work, notwithstanding the new kit I had installed, she asked me if I had set the clock. I said I hadn’t and my wife then proceeded to give me this long lecture the main point of which was that if you don’t set the clock properly then the fan-assisted oven won’t work! So she set the timer and, yes, you’ve guessed, the fan-assisted oven worked….

I’ve now been given a great list of jobs to do and if I fail to complete the list before Xmas my wife has threatened to tell everyone that it was she who repaired the oven and not yours truly….

Apologies for bothering you, Martin, thanks for your interest and apologies to the other hundred or so forum members who wasted their time reading my postings!

Re: Retired Accountant Requests Advice with his Cooker

Thanks.

The fan doesn’t work in addition to the oven not heating up in fan-assisted mode. The oven works in non-fan-assisted mode and all the other functions work.

I seem to recall, when the fan-assisted mode first “blew,” that the fan carried on working. But since I fitted the replacement element(s) the fan has ceased to work as well as the fan-assisted element not working.

Re: Viability of Repairing a 10yo Siemens Extraklasse 1100

Thanks, Seamy. I called Siemans this morning and received the following quotation-

Call out and all labour = £89.00
Cost of new heating element = £57.00
Total repair cost £146

Given the age of the machine I think we’ll bin it and buy a new one.

Thanks again for your help.

Re: Belling 648 HM – Halogen Hob Replacement

Many thanks. £35-£50 for a non-halogen unit seems more acceptable.
