Re: Tales From The Front Lines
Fantastic, Ace.
Todays little tale is true, and happened – today. I have had to send Solanki Properties a bill as follows.
Complaint: Hpt 9524 – door won’t open.
Diagnosis: Machine full of water, door locked.
Parts used: £1 coin
Parts Cost: £1.00
Work: Insert coin into coin meter and check machine function.
Labour: £40
Comment: Tennant refused to produce coin, as he was unaware that the machines in the laundry room ran on meters.
Total: £41.I await the howls of anguish with something approaching glee.
Regards,
Chris.Re: Tales From The Front Lines
Hi all
Went to a rental customer a couple of months ago, Bendix washer/dryer. Customer complaining of machine flooded kitchen floor, followed by earbashing that our machines caused all this damage.
Done the usual checks, no split hoses, backing up waste etc. Then I decided to pull out soap drawer. What a suprise, because it was a washer dryer she decided to start using the Bounce freshener tissues and was putting them in the soap drawer ❗ must have been ten in there all screwed up. its a great job if it wasnt for the customers 😉
Re: Tales From The Front Lines
Went to a housing association tenent who complained the cooker kept cutting out.
Got there to be met by a spotty faced 17 year old who showed me through the assault course to what he described as a kitchen. He then explained to me that when he puts on the oven the temp light comes on but it goes off after a while and he has to turn the oven temp up to get the oven to come back on and it then burns his food. 🙄
When I tried to explain to him that that`s how an oven works he got stroppy, said I was trying to make out he was stupid and told me to leave.
£47 for a laugh like that…………. give me more….Re: Tales From The Front Lines
I went to a servce machine that was not dumping water.
Young woman just moved house and ashured me the maching had been working fine before she had moved (Clue 1)
Did the usual. Dained the drum, took out some junk from sump filter. Run machine water still not dumping.
Drained the drum again removed sump punp tested ok bench tested ok checked drain hoses for blockages. No blockage found refitted again test ran.
Still not dumping water. 90 minuits still no further foward, cut my hand on edge of machine, a baby trying to pick up my tools and a dog trying to get me to pet it.
Finaly disconected the drain hose (again) from the U bend but this time had my head under the sink when I spotted that where the drain fitts onto the U bend was still sealed 😳 😳 😳 cut this open reconected the drain hose and away she wentIf only I had thought about what she had told me !!!!!!!
