Re: Servis M7055-6WFF making weird noise & frosting up
Nah, it’s still the same. Making weird grinding noises more often now. Currently pricing up new fridges now. Thanks anyway!
Re: Servis M7055-6WFF making weird noise & frosting up
Well I’ll be switching it back on tomorrow morning but there has been no water coming out of it at all. I can only assume that it wasn’t frozen up. Maybe the compressor (or motor or whatever – I’m not really up on my fridges!) is just on the way out.
Re: Servis M7055-6WFF making weird noise & frosting up
Thanks for the reply. I’ll try switching it off as you suggest. Will post again in a few days once it’s back up and running (or not as the case might be!).
Re: Belling E641 – Damaged Grill Element
Hello, this is probably years too late to be of any use to you. I’m sorry – I only registered at this forum to get advice about one specific problem then stopped paying attention to it (repairing white goods isn’t a big hobby of mine!).
As I said, the element is anchored at the back of the top-oven by a couple of screws and protrudes further forward than the original one. There are a couple of non-conductive metal struts welded to the element that stick out at the front and hook under a metal plate at the front of the top-oven to hold the front of the element up. As these stick forward a bit too far they push against the metal plate and cause it to bulge forward very slightly. It seems to be holding up so far though.
When I say “unsteady” I’m overstating it a little. It’s just not as good a fit as an original Belling element.
Re: Belling E641 – Damaged Grill Element
I got the element linked to in a previous post in this thread and managed to fit it. Anyone else attempting this should note that while the linked element –
– is compatible it’s not exactly the same size as the Belling original. It protrudes about half a CM more at the front which makes it a rather tight and unsteady fit.
Just a little FYI…
Re: Belling E641 – Damaged Grill Element
Update:
Well the element finally burned out today. Threw the cooker circuit breaker and no longer heats up.
The top oven still works as an oven but the grill is no more. I’ve ordered the element recommended previously in this thread so thanks again to the chap who suggested that.
Once it arrives I’ll have a stab at replacing it. I’ve never worked on an electric cooker (or any appliance) before so just to check, can you ‘unplug’ it from the mains or is it wired in without any sort of plug? If so, would you recommend just removing the circuit breaker from the consumer unit while I work on it?
Just want to avoid frying myself, y’know?
Cheers,

I already tried giving it a bit of a bash to bend it up slightly. Still seems to be working alright so I’ll maybe make a more concerted effort later.
Thanks for the pointer and the link – if I bend it too far and it busts I guess I’ll give replacing it a try.
