This thread reminds me of a tale I heard many years ago. A friend of mine, a SERVIS service engineer travelled to the remote depths of the Lake District to a SERVIS washing machine. When he arrives there is a note on the door,” I had to go out but will be home at six PM”.
He added a postscript to the note, “SO WILL I”.

Re: Why do Customers ……….
😆 also tell you about the ten other faults with the machine when you arrive with the new knob for timer ie:-
its also noisy,
overfilling,
not spinning ,
tripping electrics .
what part of ” any other faults with the appliance madame/sir” do they not understand . I ,m sure its been said for many a year and will continue to be said but only problem with the job is those pesky customers Grrrr.

….who also happen to be pensioners always have their hair done the same day as they want thier appliance repaired, but as you can’t possibly see them in rollers having a blue rinse, you have to avoid at all costs the times when the hairdresser is there.
If you make a suggestion that perhaps they rearrange their hairdressing appointment 😯
You’d think that you were suggesting they sit through the blitz again. 😉

Re: Why do Customers ……….
On a re-call three months later do they say
‘Is it the same fault. Iv’e only used it once since last time you came’ and then go on to tell you ‘I have to wash mums bedclothes everyday you know’Another call years ago while working for a Hoover agent.
Called to a Logic two days old from currys-no drain.
Customer bought the machine as a surprise for the Missus after she’d been working away.
He’d only put the washer on to test it out and it didn’t drain.
Just as wife walks into kitchen, See’s new machine 😀 .See’s big pair of bloomers pulled from sump hose 👿 .
EXPLAIN!!!!!!!!
I made my excuses and left
He couldn’t, but later Currys returns got a rocket 😆 😆Tony C
Re: Why do Customers ……….
bumped into an old freind today and was telling him about this iste and this thread
he recalled anold zanussi jetsystem with a very intermittent leak
never happened on the dozen or so visits to the house the sort of house that leaves u choking for breath ,you know the sort mustard gas would be kinder in frustation he sat through a full wash cycle let her load it select prog ect stood away from the machine gagging for breath a long comes the mangist mut and pees right next to the machine and toodles off
customer then repliies hes never done that before ha ha
gets back 2 workshop to tell the lads and guess what same customer had a fridge with an intermittent leak previously 🙄Re: Why do Customers ……….
I went to a customer today who reported a non-existent fault on his cooker hood. He knew what the problem was of course, he was no amateur, he’d worked on industrial gas turbines in the past!
Well they’re so similar aren’t they!

Cooker hoods, reported fault either poor or no extraction. Virtually always a waste of diesel! 😉

I presume he means that, being someone so clever as turbine engineer, something like a cooker hood would be far easier and simple and easy to repair but he just hasnt the time to do so, hence mr Washdoctor is called out. We get the same thing from aircraft engineers who usually ask for brushes for their servis induction motors and stuff.
