I wonder how many of you guys(& gals 😉 ) out there that fix things, recognise this and realise its significance to us in the trade 😕
It’s worth more than twopence to most of us 😉

P.S. Don’t give the game away if you do recognise it but rather tell us when you first spotted one OK ❗
Re: Do you recognise this?
When your running late, had a load of awkward jobs and had just about enough, one of these is a very welcome sight indeed!
Re: Do you recognise this?
mind you, when you need one of those you can never seem to find one or anything to replace it.

Thanks for the offer but they dont always fit every place.
Re: Do you recognise this?
Now I do 😆
The cash next to it is significant, those things must’ve made us all a few bob over the years 😉

It’s also caused a lot of grief as well…
“The manufacturer will not pay for installation faults, please invoice the customer”
Sound familiar? 🙁

Re: Do you recognise this?
I’ve even had a customer who swore it must have come out of his machine & cannot see why he should pay.
Best thing was it was in the days of Currys Philco same day service, I got there in the winter at gone 7.30 p.m. & he moaned I was late. Compounded by the fact it was a cottage in a village, there were no outside lights and analogue mobiles didn’t work in the area, so I had to drive up & down the road, looking in gateways until I found a modern bungalow called Glebe Cottage. (No logic in that name at all, it wasn’t even near the church).
As soon as I looked at the kitchen & whilst he was telling me the machine & our service was cr@p, I was mentally adding the vat to £60. Our service fee at the time was £28 + vat, but I made him painfully aware that as I was out in the middle of nowhere that time of night & he was not prepared to wait 24 hours, “this is what it will cost you sir, had you waited until tomorrow when I have a pre-booked call for this area, it would have been a lot cheaper!”

Re: Do you recognise this?
Do I recognise it er, well I do.
Some years back a customer complained her Hoover washer was not draining. Guess what I found ?? (no prizes folks). I showed the customer the problem and explained why it would not drain 🙂 . I was taken back when she said it had been working fine for many years and it had been connected to the same connection all that time 😕 😕 🙄 😳 .
Who say’s miracles don’t happen.

If I may deviate slightly on this thread. Some years ago I went to a newish Zanussi jetsystem for no drain, after removing the pump I found
a large green “item of correspondence, with a Parisian postmark” wrapped round the impellor. I carefully extricated it with long-nosed pliers and left in top of the chest freezer, then tiptoed quietly away. It was at a farm and the appliance was in a open utility room so i did not see the owners.
