Re: More pictures guys please!
Strange thing was, That the tenant was at work when the fire started, so the pump was not running. I felt sorry for her when she told me the firemen called her from her home number and said “There has been a fire in your flat”, Must have been a great drive home.Looking at the pictures again, I,am sure the cap has exploded as you can see the end of it on the floor in front of the pump.

GooseNo pictures, but that reminds me of an Incident when I was working for Indesit at Stapleford.
We had an issue with one of the new machines where a faulty timer would energise the heater without water in the tub. Now as the heater was directly over the sump hose there had been one known incident in London where this had caught fire.
A new timer was quickly made available and was put on van stock with the instructions that whenever we saw one of these machines (can’t remember the model) we were to replace the timer regardless of what the call was for.
A week or so after these instructions came out I had to go to a call with one of these and was specifically instructed on the job sheet to change the timer. When I arrived at the house however, there were three fire engines and one very burnt out house. I parked up and asked about the owner to see if she was all right, I eventually found her and without making it obvious I asked what had happened. Thankfully it was a chip pan fire gone bad and she told me not to bother with coming back at any stage as everything in the kitchen was destroyed.I would really have liked to see the faces of the guys down in Crayford when they received my job ticket with the words ‘House burn’t down on arrival, customer no longer requires service’

Your input is most welcome at any time of the day I’m sure. 😉
Re: More pictures guys please!
Got called out to this today, a Creda TD400 dryer that’s 28 years old in a shed. Looks a bit rusty around the gills but it has worked flawlessly for 28 years until now. Just replaced the TOC and off she went, who knows maybe another 28 years 😉 😛
Re: More pictures guys please!
A quality repair by Hotpoint engineer.
I called today to a no heat fault on dryer side of a WD440. When I lifted the lid I asked the customer which cowboys had been at the machine. She was more than a little upset when she saw this, apparently the machine flooded the house out, doing several thousand £££’s worth of damage when it was only a few weeks old.
Is this an official Hotpoint modification. 😯
Re: More pictures guys please!
I thought I was emptying a fruit machine. ” Just what is it about check the pockets that don’t you understand madam”.
£23.33 plus a couple of euros. All from a single Hotpoint WF machine. 😯
Jim.
EDIT. And before anyone asks, yes I did return every penny to the customer. 🙂
