Shambles, they told me they had the old fan and PCB parts in stock, engineer came over said yeah PCB and fan shot but I don't have any on me, I'll write a report don't know what will happen. Then I get a voice mail saying boiler deemed beyond repair so now they want to keep £99 for the callout...

Ok they told me over the phone PCB and fan are in their old stock and they don't have a problem with the boilermate (of course they won't repair it or anything) so all sounds good, booking in ASAP, will let you know how it goes :) thanks for the suggestions to get it repaired.

Yes they figured out age from serial, they're slightly worried about getting parts (I see plenty online) but otherwise happy to come.

Ideal are happy to come out for £359 (£99 if they can't fix) but won't touch the boilermate tank. Does this sound sensible?

I've seen this but I guess could be challenging to find someone willing to install my own bought parts? Doesn't seem like this is super DIY friendly from what I've read need to be gas safe etc. or maybe I've missed something?

It's a good idea and I was investigating this today £360 certainly cheaper than PCB and fan but I read some forum posts about them not offering the repairs on boilers older than 10 years so 19 likely pushing it. Will call them tomorrow morning though, good shout!

Our 19 year old boiler has finally gone. PCB + fan busted according to gas engineer diagnosis and some corrosion on casing. Could potentially replace but seems to be £600-700 for both with labour, while a new boiler would be around £2200, seems a better option? Beyond this I've had all kinds of...

Apologies didn't see that this was 10 years old it came up in similar threads...

Also to add, if it's simply not running the first thing to do is to just reset your machine and run a normal cycle. You ened to do this to test if the pump is engaging.

Just had the same problem on our Favorit 35085 VI. I assume you have cleaned your filters. If you reset your machine and run a program, do you hear the pump run? It should be fairly loud. Alternatively you hear a very small hum (which is the pump engaging but not running). If the pump is not...

Thanks, at least I know that it could be worth trying. £15 easy attempt if not I'll probably replace it, I think it might be 17 years old...

I have an AEG/Electrolux Favorit Favorit 35085VI integrated dishwasher. It was working perfectly well until recently. I get 2 beep error code at the end of a program and water pools at the bottom of the dishwasher. When I run it again I can hear a hum from the drain pump, trying to do...

Appreciate it, luckily mine is 60 days! It looks like more of them are 60 now, when I looked a few years ago they were all 30. "Unoccupied: We consider your home to be unoccupied when it is not lived in and not used overnight by you or your family for more than 60 days in a row."

Thanks I'll have a look. And the heating system is fine to be left running with mains off?

I have a Boilermate 0V thermal storage and a boiler. Don't know more than this but could investigate. Going away for 6 weeks. I was planning to leave heating on 15 min morning/evening with thermostat at 15C, water on hot all the time. Do I turn off the main stop cock? Would like to minimise...
