you probably fixed it too well! can’t please some customers!

I doubt theres a problem as stat would trip again.

Its probably going to be one of those senarios where the cus has had the machine for two years and never took no notice of it but since its been fixed has sat there watching it and noticed things they hadnt before (Like, gets quite hot) :rolls:

I have been to a similar machine where the whole cabinet was getting very hot and it turned out that the rear drum seal had at some time caught fire 😯 and the hot air was blowing past it :rolls:
