Re: Diplomat ADP 8224 dishwasher

No don’t think so, opened the side panel with the machine away from the wall and could see water entering the machine.

But I omitted that nothing is displayed on the display!

Re: how does the water softener work on a dishwasher?

Surely people in hard water areas should be treating the whole house and enjoying the benefits an all encompassing system will bring to their home.

Come on guys…forget profit, advise properly, not like a manufacturer who is only trying to increase after market sales…

PS with the increasing demand for side by sides that dispense water and cubes it is worth noting that the filters for these are £30.00 a throw…an incoming household system makes far more sense than an individual appliance filter and will work out more economical

perhaps we should look at this as a side line to our own businesses

Re: NESN and kheath

hi appboy, good to hear from you again…..

Whilst not wishing to teach you to suck eggs etc heres a thought for you to consider.

Connect have brought to this industry (for the 1st time?) a method of payment that in my years in the business has not been equaled or surpassed. They can do this because they are privvy to the insurance database, meaning every job is already a verified call, with practically no exceptions.
So if Connect can do it…..WHY cant all future contracts you take on do it.Why don’t we as a group insist on it, why do work which does not pay 3 weeks after month end….we have been funding these parasites long enough.

If Nesn or tom,dick and harry want work doing then the onus is on them to pay my firm for doing it…no more shite no more excuses just pay the bill or go on stop till you pay….

If we all consider taking a strong stance and collectively adhere to set standards then we will better our lot and all of those who follow.

Individually we are all relatively weak in relation to these companies who seek our services, however collectively the power will move to us as shortages of good 3 skillset firms increases. I’m not saying we form a union or all join Dasa …..but we are all like minded and we are proprietors who control many engineers…we should begin to work together and be even more open to the work available and price our labour correctly in this fluid market place…

Some of us have worked well in the past and the £40.00 a call is now a reality, who wants work at £35.00? We now see the next benchmark at £45.00 per call and if we do it collectively we can pull it off…so when Nesn come to call..pitch at £45.00 per call, payment 3 weeks after month end in full(100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}) technical and spares back up etc etc

Then come and let us all know how you got on….

to all of you thinking or planning to see Nesn in the next few weeks, this is you’re chance to stand up and be counted….they need you far more than you need them, make the most of it , for once

Re: Smeg DWF 64 Fault

two left most lights = No 1 and No 2

I checked the manual and this “error” is not listed….

Re: Smeg DWF 64 Fault

Hi,
thanks for the reply, the machine has four lights in a row that represent the various staeges of washing. The machine seams to halt with the two left most lights remaining on permanently – the fault/error seams to occur in the pre-wash stage if that is of any help.

Thanks

Re: SMEG DWI 710 DishWasher Error

Ken,

Thanks a bunch for the help.

I just couldn’t get the light array your PCB reset suggested. I closed the door the ‘Strong’ program started up (Great!) but after 2 minutes it stopped and then went ito a ‘Beep’ ‘Swoosh’ pattern.

Now all I get is the ‘Wine Glass’ light on and the Strong light Flashing.

From that it doesn’t move, even if I switch it on and off. I think it could have booked a ticketed to Planet Shafted!

Re: SMEG DWI 710 DishWasher Error

Hi K,

I understand the EU thing – I checked the float and it seemed fine.

I followed the intstruction for the PCB reset but on pressing the program button 4 times (with my fingers crossed) only the ‘strong’ light came on flashing.

Standing on one foot I pressed the prog button again and waited 15 seconds turned off the appliance and turned it on again.

I selected the SOAK programme as instructed and then close the door. I received the usual 2 beeps and nothing happened.

I’ve called out ‘Academy’ (I’m in London) who shold hopefully show up on Monday. It isn’t the first time the PCB has gone on me . Our old machine (same model) had exactly the same problem)

Thanks very much for your help.

Re: Diplomat 8234 – questions and a specialist please

Could be worth looking at this page for your control panel.

http://www.qer.biz/Lists/CREDIT_LIST_MODEL_1.html

I have the same model (built in by Persimmon Homes – useless) and we have had nothing but trouble. The fact that these machines only cost £250 and an engineer with cost £130 approx. Then frankly you might be better off just buying a new one.

Re: NESN and kheath

Sorry dave ..should have preceeded this quote……

Just in case any of you have forgotten, heres what Nesn were about and its just not feasible to assume only Trubshaw knew about things like this…..

this was a reply sent to Dave:

Dave

You asked for some clarification on section 14.1.4 of the Service Provider Agreement. The position is only governed in part by that provision. You gave notice on 8th October 2003 and therefore for the three month notice period to 7th January 2004 were bound by the restrictions in clause 12 of the contract not to work for any of NESN’s clients or former clients directly or indirectly or to assist any other person to deal with those clients or former clients. Now that that period has expired the provisions of 14.1.4 apply. This means that until 6 July 2004 you cannot approach or deal in any way with repair or similar work for any client or former client of NESN. This would include, for example, MFI and Connect Distribution Services Ltd.

If you breach or have breached these provisions then NESN has the right to take legal action against you to prevent you from approaching or dealing with any of its clients or former clients and for damages and/or an account of profits (which means that you would effectively do the work but at cost price and NESN would collect your profit margin). Obviously it would be in all parties interests if you simply stick to the terms of the contract and do not work for NESN’s clients or former clients until 6 July 2004.

Regards

Jo Loach

Just in case you think it was all Trubshaw….refresh yourself on this….Trubshaw did not write the contract….but Nesn were prepared to endorse it…….miss loach sent this barbed reply!

To now work for them without a contract puts you in the same position as before, you will in law be accepting the only contract they have even though you’ve not signed it…as you know of it

Re: Servis BFC371B Oven not heating up

Hi Dave,

I will get the photo taken and drop you an e-mail.

It may be quite old but not really old – the owner guide is dated 03/97 and has reference number 99537051-00

I was waiting to see if you could help on the element front before sending the bosch pump e-mail as I thought both parts could be posted together. I can sort of the bosch pump e-mail today.

Re: Hotpoint washing machine – Size of problem

the size given is that of the actual appliance,you must therefore give yourself normally at least 1 1/2″ behind the appliance for the waste pipe ect.
