Auto defrost Hello can I ask about the auto defrost ? I clicked it on today and instead of the machine sounding normal It went silent but making a light humming noise I switched it back and it came on as normal. I assumed it would sound the same but just less power ? Or does it intermittently...

Thanks ! I’ll check on that thank you. I see the roof cover removes if needs be Yes i always wanted a vintage looking microwave. It does fit but boy it’s a big beast !! Richard

It’s now in place I’ve replaced the bulb and It’s now in place. It does look good but huge ! Testing with the detector the needle jumps in to red near left hand side of door screen mesh obviously and inch away there’s nothing. Would this be safe ? I’ve also noticed that food cooks in clumps...

Ariel liquid ... it’s staggering... No it’s just sitting there 😂

It was all the craze ! Ariel liquid was a huge craze in the 80s my mum loved it. No more messy soap powder drawers to clean just fill and pop in the drum ( we in UK were nearly all front loaders ) I loved the smell of this too. Sadly Ariels fragrance now isn’t as good. My mums servis slimline...

Hello thanks for that I’ve removed the old bulb and will order. It seems to work fine. It need a little clean to the chrome as there’s gloss paint splatters. My microwave tester only vaguely flickers and never in the red so I’m hoping it’s safe to use !! Thanks again

Just a thought Hello. I noticed the voltage was unusual did you get that sorted ? Also what program were you trying. It should click a little bit and the timeline Move along a little bit but as Mathew says it maybe seized. If it moves to beginning of wash and hums it Might be the inlet valves...

Just so you can faint ... In the UK unleaded petrol is $4.88 per gallon, diesel is more but we all went crazy for diesels. ( now we’re falling out of love due to emissions). As they returned a better MPG which we need when that’s the prices ! Think of the club card points tho ! Richard
