The more you pay the better quality you get. The problem is that the upper end quality is not as good as it used to be and as each year goes by and more and more UK manufacturers go bust or are bought out by companies like Merloni (Hotpoint) they get closer and closer to the lower end stuff...

As a field service engineer for a cooker company I am not aware of any regs that state a gas cooker cannot be installed next to a door. I have heard council tenants state the council have said it shouldn't be done. Unless somebody else on this forum states otherwise, i don't see a problem with...

This appliance is actually made by a company called Midea The E3 fault is to do with insufficient water pressure through the heating tube. This could be caused by a water level pressure switch or the Flow pressure switch. Inside the wash cavity, underneath the flap that opens for the soap...

I take it you mean, after intially lighting the oven, the flame normally starts out quite low then after a good few seconds, the burner roars into life and a much higher flame is seen. If this is the case and you no longer get the high flame, then you have a problem with the Flame failure...

Howdens sell appliances under the Lamona brand, which used to be under the name Diplomat. They do not manufacture any appliances themselves these are all out sourced. The fan the O.P mentioned is the cooling fan. Standards state that "Must touch" areas (Control Knobs and handles) should...

There is something drastically wrong with the appliance. (Your's isn't forward venting, so forget my comment on that) There is something drastically wrong with the appliance. The door seal should be touching the inner glass along its top run. You didnt make it clear whether it was touching...

I deleted the post, please ignore. The advice was for a drop down door, you stated it has a catch, that means its side opening. Its very unusual to have an issue with a side opening door, whereas the inner glass isn't touching the door seal. Are you sure you aren't looking down the gap in...

standard sizes, 500, 550. 600mm so your stuck with a 500 Be careful what you buy, lots of cheap imported cookers at 500mm wide If you want a decent one make sure its not ,made in turkey,or outside of the EU eg China :-) and do'nt believe the salespeople in the shops

Flavel are now owned by Beko, you could start there. I doubt the part will be available anymore but you never know and No, I dont know that particular appliance. Good luck with it. If you can get a good look at the FSD it may have a manufacturers mark on it. The Diamond H ones used too...

There is a "phial" that sits in the main oven burner flame. This component is part of the "Flame safety device". It looks like a small stretched pear, approximately 3cm in length with a diameter of about 0.5 cm with a thing caplilliary pipe (1mm in diameter) which looks like a thin wire coming...

Having ruled the above out then, you are looking for a fault on the control system or a loose connection in the wiring somewhere. The fact that your bulbs are not working would point to the mains supply side of the appliance.

if you had no lights working, as in the light that comes on when you open the door then you lost power to the appliance itself. The first place I would check is the plug and the plug socket. Not just them but the environment they are in. The number of calls I have been too where an appliance...

What I can tell you is that when I queried gas lids on cookers with corgi a few years ago, they stipulated that the glass lid isn't a heat shield and as far as the regs and clearances are concerned, is treat as being no different to a cooker without a glass lid other than the lid safety cut out...

The Lamp assembly is the only other component involved. (The bit the bulb screws into).

You can disconnect as you have done. There is a simple way to blank the bayonet fitting off. You can't legally carry out "Work" on the pipework, nor I doubt will you have the equipment to test that you have left is safe. If you really want it capping off you will have to pay someone who...

Some creda's are actually Dimplex heaters. If yours is one, I fix these for a living and the elements I am supplied with always fit in the brick space. Maybe you have the wrong elements? When fitted, the the bricks should be faced up "Touching" one n other

Suprtfreeze is a bypass of thermostatic control. On some fridge freezers this is temporary and only runs for a set period of time before it passes temperature control back to the thermostat. On others you have to manually turn the superfreeze back off. It is used to quickly get the...

Possibly a break in the neutral circuit to the fan. You will need a multimeter to trace this When the stat is in the off position, the fan is managing to achieve a full circuit, live back to neutral. However when the stat is turned on, the neutral circuit is being cut off to the fan. The fan...

The refrigerator is cooled by the operation of the compressor pumping refrigerant around the fridge and freezer. The thermostat decides when to run the compressor. The thermostat operates on the fridge temperature only, so if the fridge is down to temperature, eg between 3 & 8 degrees, the...

Normally the temperature monitoring thermostat/thermistor on dishwashers is stuck to the base of the cavity, underneath. This way it can take a consistent reading of the surface temperature at the bottom of the tank/cavity when there is water in the dishwasher. If the one you are checking is...
