Re: Pressure chamber AEG favorit 875i
Many thanks for that. I did eventually work it out when I thought about what the length of hose and clips were doing there. It was then obvious that the part also fitted other machines as the main spigot on the end of the part was too long to allow the chamber to fit properly and had to be shortened. Shame that there was no indication with the part about fitting it. It only needed a sentence to explain its universality, but then I suppose those fitting these things day in day out don’t ned the info. I have examined the chamber I took out and I am intrigued by it’s function it seems rather ingenious and wonder about how it came to be developed. I might get round to taking it apart to try and understand exactly how it works. Anyway machine functioned ok at first test wife pleased and a couple of hundred quid at least saved and a little less landfill than might have otherwise been.
Thanks again for all your inputs.

Thanks everyone for inputs now got the part but am struggling to get the pressure chamber off the bottom outlet. Is it a push fit? How much dismantling needs to take place?. If I can get the chamber off the outlet then it should be a fairly quick job.
ThanksRe: Pressure chamber AEG favorit 875i
Your point is valid re storage of all the parts etc, the issue is, is it necessary to keep reengineering parts.? Surely it is better to try and use as many of the original components as possible in new models it would save on development costs. The problem is that society has become a throw away society and will not persevere with mending things, it is so much easier and very often cheaper to replace. Manufacturers have paid their part in improving their production processes and costs through competition and should be congratulated as they have brought products to people who could not otherwise afford them. However we cannot keep building scrap mountains.
As for the perceived quality of new machines I have looked at Neff and even Miele but they do not seem to be of the same substance as the AEG, true they are more efficient and have more bells and whistles but will they last for as long as the AEG?

Grateful thanks for the information it is very much appreciated. The machine is around 17 to 18yrs old but has given very little problem an element and a circuit board in the past. Although a new machine can be bought relatively cheapely these days I firmly believe that we should not dispatch things to the scrap heap if we can keep things going. Whilst there are arguments about newer goods being more energy efficient it is often forgotten that considerable energy goes into manufacture hence my desire to do my environmental bit if I can. Thanks for the tip about parts running out perhaps this will be the last repair on the machine.
Thanks again

Gosh that was a quick reply many thanks for the info. Yes it does have dark deposits in it. I did think of taking it off and trying to clean it but as it looked like there was a fair ammount of dismantling required to remove it I thought it might as well be replaced but did not want to do so unless it was confirmed that this was the problem and should be replaced. If any one still knows how the system works and the purpose of the part I would still like to know. I am the sort of person that likes to gain an understanding of how things work when a problem presents itself.
Thanks again.
