Re: Stoves/Newhome range style cooker.

alcazar
just a note…the clock does not need to be set at the correct time just needs to show a time…only need correct time if you want to set cooking time….either start/finish time or oven to come on when you are out and you need the food cooked for a set time…ie, you come in and the food is cooked ready to serve.
hope you can sort it easily

Re: Stoves/Newhome range style cooker.

alcazar
usual fault with no fan , no heat is the timer/clock not set correctly. look at clock, digital or analogue and a) if digital set it to any time, make sure it is not on timer for delayed cooking …usually it shows a hand symbol or a steaming pot on the display. b) if analogue check to see if the clock is set to timer off. hope this helps

Re: indesit wm…model wil103uk

thanx alan j
when you load a profit margin to take the module to say £70.00 which is not unusual to cover original cost, return postage to EMW, VAT and then add labour charge, £55.00 ( 2 visits) then customer compares price he paid for inds..t new and the price now on the internet the job/fix is a close run thing. customer spends another £80 – £100 and he has a new w/m to replace the one he bought cheap and hasn’t been happy with the wash results.
his choice…

when you arrive at the house and customer says, my husbands had a go at it, or my brother, son, mate, partner knows a bit about these thing and he’s started to fix it……run for your life or your van….
