Customer Question

The door falls down when opened. It seems the spring is broken. Is this something I can get the spares for and replace myself - I am in France.

Royzee :

Hi, welcome to Just Answer. My name is XXX XXX I will be helping you with your problem today. If anything isnt clear, please just ask me.

Royzee :

Can you tell me the make and type of appliance please

Customer :

It's a diplomat but I can't find any further details on the machine

Royzee :

Hi

Royzee :

what is it?

Royzee :

dishwasher, oven what?

Customer :

Dishwasher - sorry, I thought this part of the forum was only for dishwashers!

Royzee :

Thanks

Royzee :

OK

Royzee :

if you look along the door edge and recess there should be a data plate with the model number

Royzee :

This would have originally been sold through MFI, strange its landed up in France

Customer :

Thanks - found it. Label reads 8122/1 Type 3.M1.520311220100.

Royzee :

OK

Customer :

We inherited the machine when we bought the house a couple of years ago. Strangely the label aslo says Made in France!

Royzee :

let me check for you

Royzee :

OK

Royzee :

there are two springs, one either side of the door

Royzee :

one or both are broken

Royzee :

You would need to remove the lid and the two metal side panels

Royzee :

I dont think the parts are available in France, but are available in the UK

Royzee :

do you have friends in the UK that can send them to you?

Customer :

Yes - that can be arranged. Can I fit them myself? I'm reasonably competent in that area but a bit cautious when it comes to springs! Also, can you give me an idea of cost as it's an old machine and we need to decide if it's worth it. I suspect both spring have gone as the problem developed in two stages

Royzee :

Its fairly easy, just disconnect from power first

Royzee :

they are cables rather than springs

Royzee :

see here

Royzee :

I hope this answers your question and you rate my answer well

Royzee :

Thanks

Royzee :

Rob

Royzee :

PS, i am going out for about an hoiur, if you have a further question, I will reply on my return

Customer :

Thanks Rob. Final question - are fitting instructions included with the spares - can't find mention of this on the BuySpares website

Royzee :

Hi

Royzee :

Back

Royzee :

There wont be instructions as these are supplied to service engineers

Royzee :

You should see how to attach them to the bottom of the door and the side of the cabinet, esecially as one may well still be in place

Royzee :

If you are unsure, look before you order them

Royzee :

Thanks

Royzee :

Rob

Customer :

Thanks Rob
