ParticipantRe: Smeg cooker smells like burning – what could cause this?
Also…if it does sound like a replacement would be a good idea, can anyone suggest a decent brand with good build quality? Not too impressed with the feel of some of the ones I’ve looked at and I’m not sure if getting another Smeg is a good idea, or not.
Needs to be less than 60cm wide and either Dual fuel or induction really, there don’t seem to be many options out there.
Thanks again.

Hey Don,
that’s brilliant – very helpful. Is the VTD00 any good? It’s on special at Argos.
Thanks.susier

It’s cool, I found that useful (being a bit slow on the uptake, a few different angles always help!!!!) Thanks everyone you’re a smashing lot 😉

ParticipantIt’s a rangemaster 1100. Any thoughts? Like what to look out for in terms of what might need repair etc? Cheers guys

Excellent! Actually seen one locally, or is it a cannon rangemaster, it’s big and green anyway and runs on LPG…wondering if it could be converted? fairly old by look of it, well not ‘new’ anyway. I don’t know if it’s by the same people as you mention. Just off to look at website. Thanks a lot : )

Thankyou gegsy. I’ve arranged for shop to take it away. Only had it a week and really don’t want to get lumbered now. Never mind! Anyone got any suggestions for a really reliable brand? My old one was an indesit, say no more…Ideally like to spend a bit less than £500, too – price seems no indication of reliability in this case! but I could be proved wrong with something else. Grateful for your help thus far : )

Thankyou very much for the info. Latest news, had it wired in today. Lo and behold the back burners light. Front two? Not having any of it!! Shop has admitted it was returned previously with this problem, stripped, rebuilt and tested. Previous buyers didn’t want it back. I can see why.
I was just starting to get excited because it looked so hopeful, but not to be.
Thanks anyway guys, I really appreciate your time and help. I’ll know what I’m talking about next time, anyway!
Cheers

Hi, sorry to be a pain. Didn’t quite understand that last reply about the fly lead. Does this mean the cooker does in fact need to be fully wired in to allow the earth to function properly? (And thus the thermocouples to be effective?) Thanks : )

Oh! Thanks both. That’s brilliant. should be up and running before long with any luck, then. Cheers!

Thankyou for that, I’m reassured somewhat! After seeing another user say she had this problem for a year until Smeg replaced Thermo’s with a longer version that sat more in the flame, I did wonder if it was a common Smeg issue. Anyway can I be awkward and ask you how thermocouples work? I mean they just look like little metal chess pawns to me, sitting there…what’s to go wrong? Also would it be possible the fault is due to the electricity not being connected yet? We’ve only managed to get the gas man out so far and he suggested it could be linked to this…like maybe the thermocouples were connected to the electrical supply? Thanks again.
