Re: Creda Europa Solarplus Built In Oven (Brown)
Hi: The model number is probably on a rating plate on the back of the appliance, especially if it’s an older model. Without the model number your probably going to find it virtually impossible to find any parts for it. If the scratches aren’t too deep you could probably take them out with polishing compound.

Hi: The pump will only run if there’s any water to pump out, does the machine actually take in any water ?
Re: Kenwood Chef A901 – smoke coming out
Hi Twick: Think you got the wrong end of things mate 😮 I don’t mind garbage disposals at all, it’s the Toilet & Disabled Facility ones I was thinking of. Believe me they’re not nice I keep Disposable overalls, Surgical Gloves, Goggles, Air freshener & Surgical hand scrub in my kit ready for when I get called to do 1 😆
Re: Kenwood Chef A901 – smoke coming out
Autoclaves can be a pain to work on (Literally) but the things I hate most are Macerators. Yuck not nice :eeek: , but I charge extra for fixing them 🙂 so it’s not all bad.
Twick: Sorry mate I can’t find my disc with the service manual for the A901 at the minute, take a look at it anyway. Bet you don’t have manuals for the majority of stuff you repair & If you can fix a Dishwasher, you can sure fix a mixer.Re: Kenwood Chef A901 – smoke coming out
Hi mate: Nothing wrong with repairing Treadmills, you sometimes get the bonus of seeing a nice fit bird test them out when you’ve done the repair. To be honest I’ll look at most things electrical / electronic when they go faulty, adds to the fun of the job.
Re: Meiko ECOSTAR 530F (dishwasher)
Hi Ashby: If it’s a Pinkish Brown stain then the 3 most common causes i’ve found are using non dishwasher safe crockery & under dosing of detergent or using a cheap detergent. Wonder if the customer changed brands recently. By the way this should have been in Trade Technical Enquiries.

Can you hear any noise of the pump trying to run ?
Re: Candy GO F462-80 Cold Wash Only
Hi Snappa: Your more than welcome, glad you got it sorted mate. These women can get a bit testy when their washing machines go on the blink, I know my missus does :lol:.
AndyRe: Zanussi ZWG1120M – E62 code
Hi Drew: Unfortunately the thermistor is built into the heating element & not available as a separate part, the element on these is pretty pricey. If you follow the wiring from the thermistor to the control board you can check the plug / socket connections for it, if it is a control pcb fault then unless you can get it repaired then the only option is replacement & I would’nt even like to think how much the pcb is. Your best option in the long run may be to call a local engineer to check the machine for you.
Re: Kenwood Chef A901 – smoke coming out
Hey Twick: If memory serves there’s a toothed drive belt fitted to them & it can slip with age when under a heavy load, a bit of stripping down to do but not beyond doing. The other thing that causes the same sort of problem is the 2 motor caps, there’s 1x 0.15uF & 1 x 0.047uF & they can burn up after years of use. Not sure if I’ve still got the service manual / notes on Disc but will take a look in the morning for you.
Re: The silly thing people do with plugs…
Sorry Martin: I don’t get paid to remove /refit worktops. If I have to get at an Integrated appliance then I’ll do a reasonable amount of dismantling but that won’t include removing units or worktops, if a job needs that then I can take a kitchen fitter with me at the customers request & their expense not mine.
