Re: Leisure EB 10 FRXC Possible Thermostat Failure
Thanks for the info. I will have a look over the weekend. Would this also cause the hob ignition to stop working? I only noticed it yesterday when I came to boil some potatoes!
Re: Hotpoint Aqualtis AQ9D 69S has a mind of its own!
Thank you so much for shooting me down in flames and basically telling me that I am a moron!
Let me expand on my postings.
1. Yes the previous machine was over 5 years old, but as we have 4 kids and they are all into many activities, the machine would be called into play between 10 and 12 times a week, each time with a full load, so perhaps in working time, it had done more than some other 5 year old devices.
2. This old machine had been covered by a D&G policy that included other domestic appliances, although I am not averse to repairing many items, my wife felt that it was worth covering due to the high workload encountered by the machine.
3. When it came to getting D&G to write-off this old machine, it was a requirement that another Hotpoint (like for like) was taken direct from Hotpoint. On contacting them and not being too happy with the like for like offering, we agreed to an upgrade, thinking that it would be an improvement. Unfortunately this seems to mean we are ‘stuck’ in the Hotpoint merry-go-round.
4. From choice I do not purchase from the likes of DSGI PLC. I do not like their approach to customers and I think that as their staff are commission driven, sound advice may not be the first thought. I have not been brainwashed by them or others. I research before I buy and I did not find poor reviews of the machine I now have.
5. As previously stated, I am not averse to carrying out my own repairs. Although my technical engineering competency is not in white goods (I build racecars including all aspects of wiring harness manufacture/electronics interface) I do believe that I am more than capable of applying logic to problem solving, as well as using the information on sites such as this, to effect full repairs. I have kept my 10 year old tumble dryer going (again well used) , my Dyson, my American fridge freezer, etc. However, sometimes it is better use of my time to allow for so called ‘professional’ repairs.
Just wanted to set the scene correctly, so to speak.

I knew there was a reason I rely on forums…….. 😆

Beginning to wish I could swap it for a Bosch. This was direct-from-Hotpoint following the total failure of another ‘ extended warranty’ product which to be fair was 5 years old. We paid the difference between replacement like for like cost and the Aqualtis cost.
Now please don’t tell me I am a mug 😳
