Wickes Derwent Radiator Cover

Assembling a Wickes Derwent Radiator Cover. Fairly easy to put together.

For the price it is a decent product. The product is sturdy enough and the build is solid. The grill is a bit less solid but will not break for no reason. The 46 screws per panel are a pain and could be a couple of millimeters longer.

How to replace a Cooker Element Zanussi , Electrolux and many other brands

Many cookers use the same thermostat 46THC15/F5. This main oven thermostat can be replaced with a ET51001/F5. In some cases a ET51001/J5 thermostat is supplied. Not sure what the differences are.

My cooker is ZANUSSI ZCE7700X (94852202200)Product # 94852202200 but the same cooker thermostat is used on many cookers. The instructions supplied are generic.

If you are unsure about the installation it may be best to use a qualified electrician. I will try and reply to any questions. Thanks for watching, please subscribe.

Salus RT310

setting up the Salus RT310 room Thermostat and how to use

Most electric cookers have a cooling fan to help the oven cool down during and after use.

As with all mechanical devices they eventually fail. After about 20 years of use the one in our oven has become extremely noisy and I suspect the bearing has worn out. Replacing the cooling fan is not that difficult. The same process applies to many similar items.
