AKZ 478/01 and AKZ 480/01: ECO display and lamp
For these models, ECO can dim the standby display and switch the cavity lamp off during cooking. That behaviour alone does not establish a lamp or heating fault. Tell us whether ECO was selected and whether cooking also changed. Do not assume the explanation applies to another control panel or a persistently unresponsive oven.
COOL after cleaning versus a locking warning
Their manual describes COOL while the oven cools after pyro-cleaning, with the door still locked until a safe temperature is reached. It separately directs a DOOR LATCHED locking fault to service support. Report the exact message and when it appeared; never force or bypass the lock, or start another cleaning cycle to test it.
Service reference and the original heating complaint
The manual distinguishes the model from the number labelled Service, also recorded in its guarantee booklet. Use accessible paperwork and report the selected cooking function, result and cabinet height. Do not withdraw the oven or reproduce trips, burning smells or damaged-door operation. Electric oven assessment does not include unconfirmed gas work, supply changes or cabinet alterations.

Whirlpool oven repair questions
Does an operating oven fan prove the heating is correct?
No. Record the cooking function and result already observed. Heat and fan operation are different evidence, and the failed component needs assessment.
What is included in the fixed repair call-out?
For a Central London service address, the standard freestanding call-out is £90 plus parts. Integrated appliances of any brand start from £120 plus parts in Central London. Outside Central London, fixed call-out charges start from £75, depending on your appliance's make and model and whether it is freestanding, integrated or another appliance type. Our office confirms the service address and applicable amount by phone before arranging your visit. The agreed charge covers the first visit, repair labour and any return visit needed to fit parts for the same agreed repair. There is no extra labour or repeat call-out charge for that repair. Parts are priced separately and approved before fitting.
What details help with a Whirlpool oven repair enquiry?
Describe which cavity and cooking mode are affected, whether the display and fan operate, and any door problem. State whether it is a single, double or combination oven. Do not remove the door or internal panels to diagnose a fault.
