Re: AEG or Neff – which is best?

Hi EestiNick,

Thanks for your advice. I’m back on the see-saw now though, not knowing which way to go 😕

Decisions, decisions!!

Thanks again.

Re: AEG or Neff – which is best?

Thanks for your reply Don. Our initial choice was Neff but I read a couple of slightly negative reviews about the fridge freezer I had been looking at, so was a bit unsure, but it’s interesting that you sell more Neff than all the others put together.

Thanks again 🙂

Re: Magnitron(?) for Panasonic Combi microwave

Thank you Alex. The other half will normally have a go at most things, but he knows his limitations and wouldn’t touch something like this!

I’ve found a repairer in the Yellow Pages who’s not too far from me. (A member of NAME, so hopefully OK.) From my description to him of the problem, he reckons £80 parts and labour, so I’ll take it in at the weekend.

Thanks for all the advice 😀

Re: Magnitron(?) for Panasonic Combi microwave

Thanks Dave. I know now roughly what to expect. I’m quite happy with the machine otherwise, so I’ll take it in on Saturday. Fingers crossed that my PCB (whatever that is 😯 ) is OK.

Thanks again.

Thanks for that Simon, you’ve put my mind at rest 😀

Re: Bosch WFF2000GB/12 – burning smell

Just in case it helps anyone else with a similar problem – mine turned out to be the motor had blown. The engineer had hoped it was something to do with an armature (?) and he replaced some part or other, but when he ran it again the motor arced with blue flashes coming out of it. (He also said that the pump was on its way out as he could stop the impellor with his finger, which he said he shouldn’t have been able to do.)

He wanted £219 to supply and fit a new motor, so add that to the £40 I’d already paid him, I decided I was halfway towards a new machine.
I hope nobody is going to tell me he was feeding me a load of rubbish because the deed’s been done – I have gone for a Miele Premier 500.

Thanks again for your help 🙂

Re: Bosch WFF2000GB/12 – burning smell

Thanks Dave. My brother in law has the same machine as me so I will ask him who he uses.

I appreciate the help and advice given. Excellent forum! :tup:

Re: Bosch WFF2000GB/12 – burning smell

Our postcode is BN2.

It’s probably the sort of job hubby could tackle himself, but the main thing is, he is planning on building a new kitchen and then will put in integrated units, so if it’s going to cost at least £200 to put this right, it may pay us better to go straight for a built-in and mock up a temporary surround until he gets around to doing the kitchen. Decisions, decisions 😕

I’d still appreciate your looking in your list of engineers though, just in case he decides the kitchen is ‘this year, next year, sometime never!’

Re: Bosch WFF2000GB/12 – burning smell

Thanks Dave. I tried the link but there are no no engineers within my postcode area.

Could you possibly give me a ball park figure of what I could be looking at to get it fixed, just so that I know whether to bother taking it further, or tell hubby to brace himself for a trip to the shops 😆

Thanks.

Re: Bosch WFF2000GB/12 – burning smell

Thanks guys.

Goatboy – no the drum isn’t loose. It turns normally both from inside the drum itself and down through the top of the machine. The last time it actually spun, it was no noisier than usual.

Dave_Conway – the belt is intact as well. The clonk it made was enough to make me jump back and wait for it to blow up though.

Is the burning smell not something to be worried about?
