The door sealing strips on my mum's ancient chest freezer (ooh, missus!)
have packed up. ISTR someone in this very parish talking about where to
get replacements, a few moons back. I thought it was CPC but a quick root
around their site reveals nothing.

Any clues?

You have to phone them for white goods spares.
Most aren't on the website or in their catalogue.

I learned yesterday that even if you know the correct white
goods part number, you can't order it online anymore -- has
to be ordered by phone, fax, or email.

I have a few years ago bought a specific one and a generic kit from CPC.
If they have stopped doing them then I'd at a loss to know where to go.

could try espares.co.uk or sparesforhome.co.uk ?

Thanks Ed (and Andrew).

CPC denied all knowledge. Local appliance repair in Reading (Apple) said
they didn't/wouldn't sell generic replacemeent as it's crap but could get
proper kits for even very old freezers. However the badge has fallen off
the front of my mum's freezer: there's possibly a plate round the back but
it's a full-length chest freezer, it's full, and it's 100+ miles away :-(
