yep - sort of easy fix - you need to download the manual(need to join asa a silver member if not already) and just follow etc - took me about 90 mins the first time!

bon chance!

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Is there a recommended person who could perhaps do this AND service the ouverture for me locally in the UK that you know of?

I know Neil likes to get his hands dirty (i mean that in the nicest possible way) & i have tried to contact him.

Any suggestions would be great

best regards,

Your description could apply to a number of scenarios none of which are difficult to fix.

Wire might have snapped (unlikely), wire could have come off of the pulley(s), door mechanism could have come off of the wire (again, unlikely), or a number of other things!

Depending on your manual dexterity and patience they could ALL be awkward.

Thanks Joey,

This is why i need SOMEONE ELSE to do it!!! ;-))

Ok,

So i've managed to get the wire back onto the pulleys. (how akward is that!!!!)

I put it back on & the brackets (where the glass doors attach onto) move back & forth as they should ...phew...

Now the tricky thing is when i clipped the doors back on. it worked perfectly ok....so the doors opened all the way & closed as they should...

when waved my hand to open it again, it didn't open full way, it then struggles to open....its very inconsistent, there is no single pattern.

The last time i left it, it opened full way, but then it struggles to close....

any ideas?

I suspect that you are now seeing why the wire came off in the first place.

You either have one of the wires under rather than around the pulley or more likely the door carriers are not moving freely on the tracks. This could be due to lack of lubication (try a brief spray with silicone spray) or , more likely, they are just knackered and need replacing.

If they need replacing, you are in a slightly different ball park as far as complexity of the job is concerned but certainly not impossible for the novice with a modicum of mechanical nouse!

Get hold of the service manual, if you can.

Hi,

I already have the service manual & have wired around the pulley's as it is in the service manual....(wasn;t very easy to follow but managed in the end)

ummm......It just seems very odd that they do this irregularly...

I've also noticed that the brackets are not in line.....i.e bottom 2 brackets meet slightly wider then the top 2 (2 mm)...so when the door is clipped on its slightly tilted & not flush....

I've lubed it up & its still doing the same thing.....i'll give the tracks a good clean..

The doors will certainly slide better if they are parallel.

Hi.  I have just encountered the same problem. Aaarrrrrraaahh!!! 😡

I was putting new leads through the stand and lyed the unit on its front.  I think the wires came off the pulley's and now I have to get them back on some how.

Can someone who has done this please explain how I do it.  I have downloaded the Service Manuals, but "Section 6 - Disassembly" is missing  and I have no idea how to get into the unit to fix this or can I fix without gong into unit and somhow re-thread the wire over pulley's from the front? 😕

Any help would be much appreciated. 🙂
