Re: Hotpoint GW66X not heating to correct tempertaure.

Thanks kwatt, I will have a look at the burner though I think it is probably Ok. So I expect I will have to get someone in to look at it, though as the thermostat is likely to be ~£50 + the labour, and I would really like a cooker with a wok burner, I might just bite the bullet and replace it. Bit annoying though as generally it’s not been a bad cooker – though the top oven was always completely rubbish. Do you have any opinion on which brands of cooker are good these days? It seems like everyone I hear talking about their cookers seems to be disappointed one way or another.

Re: Blomberg 1503 fill level regulation?

Don’t I just know it 😉 I have to clear it every 6 months or so because spin becomes unreliable.

The machine fills enough to wash but not if it’s a large load – a bed spread for example. It used to be fine and suspect it is now a problem is because the *insert expletive* plumber put the WM feed in the new bathroom on the gravity supply even though I asked him to put it on the mains. As we have a bungalow the pressure is only about 0.5 Bar and I noticed yesterday the WM instructions state that the pressure should be between 1 and 10 bar. Hence why I am asking if anyone knew the method used to determine fill level. With the 1000 different essential DIY jobs I have lined up I don’t want to have to run a new feed if it won’t make any difference or if the problem is something else.

I note the pressure switch appears to have a three position sensor, well it clicks three times if you blow in it.
