Re: TECNIK TKC8525 OVEN TIMER I.D.
cookerfit wrote:I know its a long shot but……..
Need to order a timer for the above double oven. Connect are showing it as a part number BSH860082 but no picture of part.
A query to BSH customer service said the part number should be 620644 and that the oven is the same as 720ESO.Are there any Bosch guys out there who can confirm which is the correct timer?
As I said, I know its a long shot but just in case, Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards
CookerfitIs it the same as this ?

Re: Dual cookers

So long as you don’t break a gas connection that requires re-soldering, sealing or connection APART from a bayonet connection then, LEGALLY you’re okay.
Rules have changed on this in the last 6 months.
Only the householder, competent person or gas safe engineer are now allowed to disconnect a bayonet fitting, there is also a list of electrical components that non gas safe/competent persons cannot work on…… but I dont have the list to hand at the moment 😳 I know fans were on the list but dont think that meant stir fans, more cooling fans that also provide air for combustion.

But it is still normal for guys not qualified in gas to call/work on dual fuel appliances or appliances with electrical components, work on them, with the full knowledge of Gas Safe knowing that they are not breaking any current regs or rules.
Like I say I can name at least 4 that did it last week.There is a list of components that non qualified are not allowed to work on…. ignitions for one are on that list.

RocketMan wrote:according to Comet you can, we used to have this argument until we were blue in the face. It came to a head one day at a engineers training day, when the subject got quite heated. The head Whitegoods Guy wasn’t really winning the argument and the Centre manager basically told us “it wasn’t a gas issue we had to do it or else”. He went on to to ask every single gas engineer in the room if they disagreed with him??? Not one did and most of them were normally quite vocal on any subject. His (Centre managers’) last words were you either repair DF appliances or get another job……strangely, when asked he would not put this in writing
go on, who’s going to be the first non-Gas Safe(Ex Corgi) engineer to come one here and tell everyone they have never, ever changed a fan element, door handle or fitted a knob or any part to a DF or gas appliance.
Now, however for me it is a rare exception for me to go near a DF app now but I did in the past. I had no choice…
Around me, there are no immediate suppliers of WG parts, I know most of the CKR 1 Q’d guys and if it’s a DF app and they need a non gas part, they’ll come to me for it. Most of the time they also want me to fit it…..or used to. Work is that scarse, they’ll come and buy an element and go and fit it now“strangely, when asked he would not put this in writing” tells a story on its own doesnt it, its now supposedly been said that non gas can touch the electric part of a d/f cooker unless it requires the disconnection of the bayonet, but the ignitions do not come under the electric part as they are specifically for the gas side.

To date I can name 4 major companies who have non Gas trained technicians replacing Electrical components to gas appliances.An ignition is classed as a gas safety device and therefore not touchable by non gas safe.
Re: Stoves door removal
SWERV wrote:No, not at the bottom of the door. they push through from the side on the inside of the door once you have slid the glass out.
MervI think looking at this that it is the model before the one you are thinking of and if it is its an absolute pain in the rump to do in comparison, from memory you have to remove the door handle and slide the outer door upwards leaving the two metal side strips attached to the door hinges, if you look at the bottom of the door pictured there are no plastic pieces pushed through and the glass stop is a bit of metal sticking out, on the doors where the plastic is pushed in it also doubles as an inner glass door stop.
Have to say I worked for stoves for 6 years ad never once took off a sidepanel to remove a door, infact if you did that on an rs2 build the cooker you would be screwed as the sidepanel holds the thing together, just put something in the hole you see in the hinge arm closest to the oven to jam it as it tries to pull back in (a nail for example) and do whatever is applicable to work on the oven door, there are two different door assemblies for these types but without you panning back a bit further I cannot tell which type you have, why are you wanting to remove the door ?

Sorry, scrap that, they are all dual fuel 🙁I would pick Rangemaster above Bosch for a range anyway.

You can go way beyond Mercury if you have the money, a mercury rrp is only a deposit for a La Cornue (Aga-Rangemaster owned again) Price- up to 55k.
Re: Falcon v Rangemaster v Brittannia
CrazyHorse wrote:Thanks for the bump.
I spoke to a guy at rangecookers.co.uk who was very helpful. His view was that rangemaster and falcon are almost identical apart from:
– much heavier doors
– better pan stand things (do they have a name?)
– individual pan stand things.
– More powerful burners.
– 3 year warranty (rather than 2).Difference between E-Line and L-Line Britannia is:
– triple glazed door
– storage compartment
– They both have metal knobs and Falcon/Rangemaster don’tStill not sure which to go for… The quality of the Britannia looked great but my wife wants 5 burners (Rangemaster and Falcon) rather than 6 (Britannia), one of which to be really powerful (Falcon). Not bothered about storage door on Britannia but a lot of wasted space without it. I basically want the Falcon 900 deluxe but I’m struggling to justify the extra money over either the rangemaster or Britannia…. can someone just to tell me I must get it and order it now!The difference between Falcon and RM goes deeper than the things mentioned, the only things the same are the oven and grill inners and the frame, everything else is of a higher quality on the Falcon, gas taps, burners, electrodes, pan supports, facia etc etc, the rangemaster is a fantastic cooker, for me its better than anything else available in its price bracket, I do warranty work for Rangemaster and 99.99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of customers love them.
The Falcon is an absolutely superb cooker, if you can afford it you will not regret purchasing it.
Brittania – not impressed with spares availability and definitely not impressed with the price of spares, cookers arent bad but given the choice I would pick a Rangemaster over a Brittania.
Re: Good range under a grand?
jonj1917 wrote:Many thanks for advice. Maybe we’ll splash out. Anyone seen a Classic 90 dual fuel for less than £1450? Alternatively, is the Kitchener of similar quality, because Dixons are actually selling that for £999.
The Kitchener is fine, same rangemaster quality and parts used, £1259 is best I’ve seen for the classic 90.
If you want the range to last then buy a Rangemaster, If you want to buy rubbish that WILL break and be ready for throwing away in a few years time then get the Leisure, I work on both products and can tell you straight that the Leisure that is made by Beko is in no way a “good range”under a grand in fact I dont think there is a good range under a grand, for a few quid more you will get a far superior product.
Re: Non FSD cookers in flats, update.

this was something discussed in my latest training that ended last week,so yes it may well be a latest update as it was only last week.
BryanUnless I see it in writing I will be dubious, people have been constantly getting this one wrong and saying what you did from the moment the fsd rule came in.Re: Non FSD cookers in flats, update.
r600a wrote:
If you install a second hand cooker / hob /oven.. then it is classed as a NEW installation and they ARE NOT allowed to be installed into any building that has more than one household. eg masonettes,studio flats ect.
BryanIs this new because if you read clause 8.2.1 it quite clearly states new appliances:
The requirement was never intended to ban the use of previously-used appliances and the following amendment to clause 8.2.1 clarifies that intent, i.e. the requirement now mentions ‘new’ and the new Note 4 addresses previously-used appliances. The requirement was intended to ensure that new appliances were compliant if installed from 1st January 2008.
