No need to worry wether your skint or not Kev,
All you need to do is stay awake longer and then choose a room number.
All the best

I m reliably informed that the discussions are not over monetary issues. This is not an issue and members old and new will carry on being paid.
The meetings are about securing the future of NESN and making it once again making it a viable Network who people will want to work with

I presume you are using “spin only” as opposed to the final spin carried out at the end of a full cotton cycle.
If this is the case then you can expect a slower spin to protect the garmet which the manufacturer assumes has been “hand washed”!This is were the problem is, the default spin programme for Quickwash Cottons is the same programme they use for “spin only” which is a much gentler and shorter time at full spin even though the duration of the spin cycle is 10 mins. The handbook reference for “spin only”is like you say, for “handwashed ” garments only
Repeated spinning only drys marginally better because it is only a handwash spin programme.
No one at the local Bosch shop can understand why they didn’t use the same spin programme as used in the normal wash especially seeing that its duration is 10 mins also. Apparently I am the first and only one to complain about this problem.
I am negotiating with the shop and Bosch Australia to return the 1660 and upgrade to a 2060. Interestingly the 2060 does all its washing in the shortest time, you have an option button for intensive wash. The blurb says this eliminates the need for a Quickwash programme….huh ❓regards……Valvo
Re: New Bosch WFL 1660 with poor spin performance.
Thanks for all the replies,
I ran the machine on normal cottons + linens wash 30Deg. & it took 118 mins with a 10 min spin cycle and during this time it spent a total of 4min 30 sec at full spin speed…..everything came out acceptably dry this time, the towels stuck to the drum, she was happy, that was before I told her how long the cycle took.
Next I ran the same cycle with the Quickwash button set. this reduced the cycle by half with a 9min. spin cycle and during this time spent a total of 2min at full spin speed……this is were the problem is, the towels,jeans, t-shirts are unacceptably wet, she is not happy.
So I ran the spin cycle on its own which the manual says is just for handwashed garments…..it was just a repeat of the quickwash spin cycle and still did not dry the garments acceptably, she is very unhappy.
👿
For 9 years she used the old machine on a short wash program for nearly all her washing.
The only way to get an acceptably dry cotton garment out of this machine is to use the full 118min cycle. This is unacceptable for our houshold (2 +2 teenagers) and unless it can be reprogrammed I’ll be seeking an exchange for a model that suits…..the sales person has indicated they are prepared to exchange it.
It almost seems the washmeister at Bosch has made a mistake with the programming of the Quickwash cycle for cottons as the total spin time is about the same but the end result is vastly different.
Easycare garments are not a problem as they don’t seem to absorb moisture like cottons.
Is there a machine out there that will quickwash and dry properly?
(Bosch 2060? Bosch 2460? AEG 1250?)regards…..Valvo

Peter’s answer sounds pretty good to me.
Or should I still be hanging on Dave?Re: Servis Sapphire 6000 washing machine ‘Airvent’ outlet he
This old servis appliance also suffered from the pressure switch air bottle hose from blocking, its situated at the rear of the appliance which will cause overfilling.
I seem to remember the pipe in question thats throwing the water out relies on the back panel being fitted correctly to keep the top of the pipe in place with the dispensor ….be careful when reassembling or it’ll flood.kheath
ps this is not an overflow but is an airvent to allow the displaced air from the tub to exit when and as the water fills it.
Re: Servis door handle kit
Talking of door handles..
L.G. are another low life..you have to buy a complete door assembly at a cost of approx £45 if the handle breaks even though its a 5 min job to change one over.bryan
Re: Admiral spares
is it the defrost heater that you need??
as i keep both the small and large glass heaters and the small and large emement type in stock for the admiral and maytag fridge freezers.bryan
Re: Servis Sapphire 6000 washing machine ‘Airvent’ outlet he
This can also be caused by a blockage in the soap dispensor hose which can br blocked by soap powder or if youve got small kids toys ect.

Re: Servis door handle kit
its already crazy that good appliances are written off because of a motor and module.
at least when they report a broken door handle I wont have to make a visit to write it off, just do it over the phone. Have a stand up with the consumer who thinks I’m barmy writing off her appliance because of a bit of plastic, end up politely telling her to never invest in the make again and then being faced with when you phone the insurer to write it off they will only do two at a time.
Insanity………….where would we be without it??????

Re: Heavy metal..
Whirlpools labour rate to one of these will be a double call ie £145 inc vat.
Well worth investing into SIOS if you intend selling them for a full breakdown of fault codes and the parts etc.
As very few of the service partners will carry stock as they wont see many you will be able to undercut and be very competative at the same time.
UKW also has quite a good stock of spares for these appliances, if you’re looking for a spare ask dave_conway.

Re: fault code on indesit W1435
Hi
try resetting the electronics by turning the timer knob to off position and press and hold the on switch in for 5 seconds. This may reset the eeprom on the board and allow a programme to start.
You should also consider that another problem may have caused your problem and if so, using the washer may bring this fault on again.
At which time you should consider having an experienced engineer have a look.regards
