Re: aeg oven
If you take the one with the studs like the neff elements and it’s wrong you you can always work them loose, take them out and use self tapping screws instead. I do that all the time with the neff ones.
Re: stoves 050561029
Presumably then this thermostat has an auxiliary switch or switches, like the Diamond H 41 or 42 range. From what you’ve just said it sounds to me like there should be a link wire from the live terminal into the ‘stat main switch to one pole of the auxiliary switch, that’s either been missing from new or else, hope you don’t mind me suggesting it, you took off when changing the stat, it dropped on the floor out of sight and you forgot to put it back. Could that be it? We all do it 😯
Re: Danfoss Compressors Recall Notice
Ah yes, the Necchi ES ones. Similar problem but they took longer to change. I’ve still got a set of those on the van; probably won’t ever use those now. 🙁
The Lec ones were the best to change; 😀 . the ptcs just used to break up, not turn into a horrible sticky black mess like the others! Wonder why the modern ptc starters don’t suffer from the same problem. Perhaps it’s because the compressors themselves don’t last long enough now!Re: Danfoss Compressors Recall Notice
It’s taken an awfully long time for them to think of that one hasn’t it? Those starter ptc discs have been burning up for at least 25 years, when I first started, and probably a lot longer. That job used to be a good money spinner, a bit like Hotpoint brushes but not quite as frequent.
Re: stoves 050561029
When you changed the element did you disconnect the wires from the fan motor as well? If so, when you re-connected them did you inadvertently get them the wrong way round so the thermostat is switching the fan off and the element is staying on all the time? Although of course this would mean the thermostat would never switch back on by itself and the oven would overheat. Just an idea.
Alternatively, it may have been wired wrongly from new and the customer never realised that the fan was switching on and off with the element..

If I remember correctly IMC drinks chilling cabinets had extra wide tangential condenser fans. http://www.imco.co.uk
Re: Electolux washer/drier not spinning
Have you checked the pressure switch has switched back to the empty position?

After 35 mins on hold with BT, I finally get through to try to sort out my quiery…… Only to be given a different number to ring for home deliveries 👿 Yes, it was an 0870! I were on hold for 15 mins and remembered that I saw this post, so hung up, went to the site, input the number…. and there we have it….. a local number! Dialled that, got through within 5 or 6 rings, quiery dealt with straight away 😀 !
The site is now in my fav’s!!!!!
You’re very welcome washdoctor; the more people who know about this the better.
Now what you’re saying is very interesting. Does this mean you can bypass the queue of people phoning in on the 0870 no. by phoning the geographical one instead, or were you just lucky in that when you phoned again there was nobody in the queue? Anybody got any ideas?
Re: bosch wfx2867gb/10 motor
Sorry, I meant the former supersedes the latter, but it doesn’t make any difference, does it really?

They have become an extremely unhelpful company and it would be fair to say that they have no interest but contemp for the like of us.
What, like Hotpoint you mean?

Hi Roly
A good web site for converting 0870 to geographical numbers is this one
http://www.saynoto0870.com/I must admit to using it quite a bit 😉 :tup:.

Yes I use it all the time. I’m just going to put Servevast on it now.

GooseYes, that just worked. Thanks guys. They’ve changed their website recently and only put the 0870 number on now.
Re: Connect what a joke!
maltheviking wrote:Forget the delivery times, it’s Connect’s pricing that I can’t believe. I continuously have to ring them to get parts at the right price, do they listen?
🙂It’s even dafter than you think. Look up this one on Connect’s site: ELE4252.
Buy one: £19.29 ea.
Buy two: £6.75 ea.Have to say though that my rep at their office, Andy Cutler, phones me every week to see if I’ve got any probs and normally deals with them straight away.
