    Re: Indesit Cooker KD6G25SXIR – KNOB

    25538460000 srl 009176563. Sorry, I should have included all the necessary information. I told you I was losing it.

    Thanks Don. Yet again I owe you another pint. I’ll be bankcrupt if we ever meet.

    I’m glad it was not just me about the colour. Oh it not good. It’s for a school with two large home economics classrooms (cooking to you and me) – probably 40-50 of these cookers all the same colour.

    Re: Some Baumatic prices

    A lots of sites hike prices the more you surf. Regularly clear your history and cache. Reboot you router to get another ip address also helps. A couple of weeks ago I was buying a tap that was £87. I went back to it about 30 minutes later and it was £117…on the same site!! I checkced my phone and it was £87. Cleared everything and the price was back down to £87. Cookies are not always your friend !

    Thanks Don,

    I was hoping you would comment. My choice is obviously from experience. The AEG/Lux group dryer tend to be more sturdy and robust. Thanks again

    I can never get my images to show..sorry. Yes the other component was an inductor.

    You can see it on the picture. Not sure which resister it was and the chip is on the other side of the board.

    Re: AEG L76650 Dead

    Not good news. An electronics engineer who repairs boards for me replaced a SMPS chip that had a crack in it, a resister and another component that wasn’t too healty either.

    Still power to the boards, power down to the power/motor board and door lock but still nothing…

    Other than trying a programmed main board…I’m a bit stuffed. Open to suggestions/advice – thanks

    K,

    We’ll have to agree and disagree on some things. Thanks for your input

    Re: Whitegood Fires to be debated on Jeremy Vine

    Whilst I agree with some of what you say, the LFB have all the data on fire and probable causes.

    I believe it was the LFB that pushed the Beko fridge/freezer fires so I’m not so sure it’s just attention grabbing. They were also big on pushing to get Hotpoint/WP dryers recalled. For your information, they do have many campaigns including cheap dodgy wall adapters/chargers. Their job is to help prevent fires not just to put them out. Most Fire Brigades were very active in the “ban the pan” campaign. Look at the massive, and I mean massive drop in the number of chip pan fires!!

    Yes, there might be more adapter fires but how many cause dramatic fire damage. Quite a lot just burn out at the socket. (bad enough, I’m not trying to trvialise it)

    It’s obviously an area they are quite rightly concerned about.

    So, you don’t think putting a metal back on domestic refrigeration will make a difference? I’m interested in your thoughts.

    I’ve only been in the industry around 14 years. Does anyone remember metal backed domestic refrigeration? Will the addition of a metal back still stop the insulation igniting with the heat from a compressor fire or similar?

    Oh gosh… 1979…sorry to say I do. When Aunty Beeb did public information films…

    So corney but so simple and apt.

    I spent a few years fighting with growing up teenagers who insisted on putting their phones on charge under their pillows whilst sleeping and leaving chargers on when not in use 😡 😡

    They’ve, thankfully they’ve got out of those habbits and are quite electrical safety savy now they’ve matured slightly.

    Re: Whitegood Fires to be debated on Jeremy Vine

    You’re correct Martin, the debate didn’t really get any where.

    It didn’t cover a lot of things. However, it did cover the bad habit a lot of people have got into of turning things on and going to bed or going out to leave them unattended.

    It just never used to happen. Gosh, when I were a nipper, we had to go around the house unplugging everything before we went to bed 😉
