Our Vokera Maxin 24e has developed an occasional (well fairly regular in

goes out, then it relights and repeats. The rattling is quite loud, as
if someone is drumming on the metal case.
I guess this is a job for Vokera but I would not mind some advice on
whyether to opt for the "£160 all in fix it" or the "parts and labour"
deal.
any thoughts?
thanks,

Given the symptoms you describe I'd start with the fan. Very likely it has
worn bearing and the fan is both touching its casing and ineffective.
