Re: CBS
Hi Mark,
How are you getting on with this? I switched my phone and broadband from one BT package to another through them a couple of years ago and it went smoothly. I pay quite a lot less than I did before. Every now and again though I get a letter from BT about something intended for somebody else, or for CBS and have to contact Steve to sort it out.
GeoffRe: AEG oven temperature always too high
I’d recommend Neff. They come with two years’ mfr’s g’tee, have in general good after sales service and the parts are easy to get for a long time.
Re: AEG oven temperature always too high
You pull off the knob of the thermostat you want to re-calibrate and look at the shaft to see if it’s got a calibration ring. The knobs pull off the shaft towards you but looking at the photo of your cooker it’s difficult to see if they come straight off or if you have to remove the control panel fascia first.
Re: AEG oven temperature always too high
Hi
Some continental oven thermostats can be recalibrated. Not recommended if the temperature has changed over the years but if they’ve both been like this from new it’s worth trying. Pull a knob off and have look to see if there’s a brass ring with slots around the shaft, where it enters the body of the ‘stat. If there is, turning it clockwise with a small screwdriver will make it run cooler. You’ll have to do it a bit at a time until you get it right.Re: Bosch door handle
Qualtex wouldn’t look at parts with different numbers to see if they were the same or not. There’s a cooker selector switch which has four or five different part numbers for different makes, with different prices, but it’s the same switch. They stock all of them.

Bluetac? Don’t be daft; it’s Debor you need.Re: A Great Loss
That’s an interesting point about pretentiousness Alex.
No, John certainly wasn’t, but when you think about it, there’s nobody in our regular group of attendees who is. It must be the industry we’re in. The combination of simultaneously having to deal with customers, manufacturers, service providers, spares wholesalers [or one in particular], staff and the need for a high level of skill at either running a company or accurate fault diagnosis, or both, must mean that everybody has any pretentions towards pretentiousness knocked out of them very quickly.Re: Stoves QE720 EM DO main oven thermostat
That part comes up as a special order at Connect. However if there’s a universal one with the same max temperature as the old one, and the same angular rotation that will physically fit, I would have thought it was worth trying.
GeoffRe: A Great Loss
I too was shocked and saddened to hear about John’s tragic passing the other day. Unfortunately I unexpectedly couldn’t get to the recent meeting owing to a health scare, luckily not serious in the end, so didn’t get to see him then. I’m glad to be semi-retired these days and able to do other things as like Bob said, you never know when it’s your turn and then it’s too late.
I would like to send my deepest condolences to his family, who will no doubt have a lifetime of happy memories to help console them during the difficult weeks and months ahead.

Happypanda,
I think it’s time to start getting more assertive in requesting a service call from the manufacturer as the machine is almost new.Re: Ise filter rattle no objects
Try moving the pump impeller blade from side to side to see if there’s play in the bearing.
Re: September 2015 meeting
No, once again it was very interesting, good fun and the new venue was excellent. Thanks to Lawrence, Bryan Ian and Ken for all their hard work once again.
