    A ha! yep that was it. The pipe had gone walkabout down the other pipe.
    All hunky dory now.

    Thanks

    why can you never get the vinyl to lay flat after you’ve shifted one of those things?

    😀

    I can’t hear the pump running. We moved this washing machine to this current position 2 and a half years ago and plumbed it in. I think it is syphoning, but why now?

    Re: Oven controls too hot

    The upgrade deal is a fair if not generous offer and a new one has already been ordered (AEG I think). I am happy with the after sales service. 😀
    I asked Magnet if the delivery guys were taking the old one away and they said just ditch it. A free Firenzi oven woohoo 😀 .
    I understand that people doing student rental properties and alike want budget kitchen appliances and I’ll be more cafeful in future not to buy these things.
    The Firenzi fridge, freezer, hob and dishwasher all work fine.
    Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply,

    Re: Oven controls too hot

    The engineer finally arrived today to look at this oven. I showed him the paragraph in the book about the cooling fan. He switched the oven on and felt round the gap above the door for air flow. There was no air flow. He removed the oven from the unit and removed the covers. There was no fan, no fan wiring and no sign of a thermostat to operate such a fan. The book says there is a fan to cool the front panel and that it runs on after cooking to keep the panel cool.
    Magnet’s book price when I ordered this oven was £379 but I bought it in one of thier sales £265.
    Would this be considered a cheap oven as mentioned in
    http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/buyi … tures.html ?
    They’ve said I can pay the difference and upgrade to better model.
    Should this oven be in the market place at all with it’s bending door and 80ºC panel?

    Re: Oven controls too hot

    Thanks for useful info.
    I borrowed a calibrated thermometer and probe from work. It takes the oven when set to 200ºC, 50 minutes to heat the outside panels to their final temperature.
    The top metal part of the door and control panel hover around 75-78ºC.
    Breifly the door measured 80.2ºC but I couldn’t repeat this measurement later. I had the central heating switched off this evening so the ambient temperature was on the cool side.
    I now notice in the instruction book there is a cooling fan. It says the cooling fan may run on. This has not happened so far. I suspect a faulty cooling fan. Also I have felt no air being expelled from the oven.
    I’ll phone the “engineers” again.
    What’s the BS number concerning domestic ovens like mine please?
    Thanks again,
    Cedric
