Update...and another query I'm afraid! I appears to be running fine...freezing...quiet..BUT (I still haven't put food back in it yet..just replacing small bowl of water to keep checking) ...when I open the door then close it there is a horrendous sound like falling ice?? coming from the back...

:wink: Ok....I've turned the freezer back on - having let it stand for 48 hours. So far 'normal' freezer hum. Should I just leave it as it is..or set it to Fast Freeze? I've put small bowl of water inside.

Many thanks. Not heard the 'glugging' noise any more..just a very load 'motor' buzzing sound. Using the dial on top of the freezer (where you can turn it from 'off/ minimum / medium /maximum/fast freeze)..I turned it 'off'..back on again..and for 10 minutes it was silent like it used to...

Ah! Now it is frost free BUT exactly 24hours after I noticed the red light was on ie 1.00am early hours of this morning - the red light had gone out. In the meantime I'd borrowed a small chest freezer and moved all food in to that - icecream..bread had completely defrosted so were binned...

:( After getting something out of freezer at 10.30 yesterday morning ..the door wasn't shut properly. (drawer 'front's keep popping off and one of these 'pushed' the door back open). I didn't notice this until after midnight - and saw red warning light on. Only the top two shelves had...

:( it's hard to read as most of the label with it on has been erased. Only numbers I can make out are: something ..then R51S E24207GB and 24200329 I have the manual but there is no mention on there of model number :cry:

Hoping you can help me - put dishwasher on overnight as per normal. This morning it had stopped half way through cycle but was still 'humming'. (I've only just found this out - O.H. has just informed me that it was 'humming' when he got up this morning - so he just switched it off!) The...

:lol: :lol: Wonder if I'll get more than a card for Mothers Day tomorrow seeing as I've now saved him some money! ;o) Not holding my breath! LOL!

IT'S WORKING!!!!!!!! Great big MWAH to all who have given me help and advice!!! When I took front off of storage heater and removed the bricks..the original element was black and a bit 'rusty' to the touch. I was a bit concerned because where the two prongs of the element go into those...

UPDATE! Both parts have now arrived.....and plucking up courage to go over today and fit them myself. :shock:

:wink: Righty ho!! I'll let you know when the stuff arrives.....and when I'm going to attempt my DIY! You MIGHT hear the bang from where you all live :shock: :lol:

:shock: Is that by the switch that is in the lobby outside the bathroom...or the main BIG electric power thingie to the house??

:wink: All parts ordered cutout £11.96....element £22.69 ..carriage from Dimplex to them £5.00 plust VAT £45.60. Free delivery to me...albeit they're local anyway. THEN I have to fit them :lol: :shock:

Nope...I've rung and checked with Dimplex just now.

:wink: OK I've ordered both parts...cutout order number XL9701...and element is XT8321. Should be a couple of days before they are in. As Arnie says...I'll be back! :lol: (Should it be easy for me to fit them? Looks like just two terminals on each part :? )

:roll: At last....a reply from him! He said :... 1. There is no reading from the element. 2. There is no reading from the cutout. 3. It IS an open circuit but there is power at the base. Hope that means something to you all! :wink:

:lol: Me Again!!! Lad has just rung to say he has put the meter on the cut out...and there is no reading. He also put the meter on the element...and that was very minimal. Should I therefore try and order both the cut out and new element? Thank you!

:wink: So do I! :lol: I'm not one to give up easily ROFL! Many thanks again for all your help!

:wink: Cheers! Will lie in wait and abduct neighbours son then! LOL!

:cry: Nope....hasn't heated up. I'll copy and print out the meter readings and try and get hold of neighbours son to do a test. I've found out that the part number is XL9701 and approximately £11.96 plus VAT. Should I just go ahead and replace or do the meter reading test first? ((shrug))...
