    thanks for the replies, chaps.

    With the dishwasher, the programme appears to start (ie the machine starts making the rightsort of noises) then the programme knob klicks round clockwise slightly, and then the machine stops : the lights are on, but it doesn’t fill with water or start washing.

    The new washing machine starts it’s programme, the tub patially fills with water, then the programme knob starts turning in a clockwise direction and doesn’t stop, making a clicking noise as it goes round (the indesit instruction manual says it does this when an “anomaly” has occured). Obviously, the washing programme doesn’t kick in. In the old washer, again the programme initiated but stopped dead after about a minute, though all the lights were still on.

    I though it could have been a problem with the electric supply, but I stuck a Maplin Socket Tester on the plug point, and the reading was normal.

    2 Weeks ago, my aged Hotpoint washing machine appeared to die : it started it’s normal wash cycle, then abruptly stopped. I thought the drive belt at the back had gone, but on inspection it appeared fine. So me and the wife decided to buy a new machine .. an Indesit washer dryer. In the meantime, the dish washr stopped working in exactly the same way .. the wash programme started then everything stopped before it filled with water. I realised that I’d disconnected its shared water supply when I removed the hotpoint, so I thought that the dishwasher problem would be solved when I plumbed in the new washing machine.

    New washing machine arrives – the man from Comet plumbs it in, and checks that it turns on ok. He leaves, and so we plumb the dishwasher back into the shared Y-Valve, and try to get everything to work. Now the new Indesit stops working shortly into it’s wash programme (although the dryer appears to work ok), and the dishwasher still stops 2 minutes into its wash programme.

    What’s going on ? I’ve triple checked the water supply to both machines and the leccy supply is activating the machine ok. Clearly, there is a problem common to all 3 machines .. it’s too much of a co-incidence that all three have dies independently of each other. Could there be a problem with leccy supply fluctuations/earthing (the house wiring is a bit old and decrepit) causing the machines to only partially work ? The man from Indesit is coming next week, but I really don’t think the machine is to blame.

    I’ve got a 7 week old baby daughter, and the pooey nappies pile is mounting – any advice/guidance gratefully appreciated!

    Double check installation especially the inlet valves are actually opening and not just turning on the shafts.Check for kinked hoses .

    I don’t think an email like that was released without passing through the Propoganda Department. 😉

    K.

    The time the email was sent, after 5pm, suggests JT no longer in building. Very intriguing, certainly not propaganda. Chat tomorrow, regards Ted.

    Being pissed off

    Hi Kenneth

    When you read this answer I will probably be in bed so here goes:

    Join forces with me and my associates to attack each individual service provider, correction leech, in turn systematically.

    Hypothetically we need to discuss in conjunction with Scoggins (who btw can’t access this room, the valves on his system take to long to warm up) how we can co-ordinate a total UK wide stoppage of work for one of the providers. We attack one at a time en bloc giving the provider nowhere else to go. Yes it’ll take some organising (I’m free soon 😆 ) and I will certainly make up a duo or larger number. You will appreciate the position I’ve just been in and I can live quite comfortably with attacking providers I’m not feeding from.

    I will not work for GB Dar, JTM Services (Andy Craw aka lying B*stard) to name but a couple.

    I hope this site is as secure as you say otherwise I might have to throw Andy Craw & his sidekick out of my office a second time.

    Viva the revolution!

    Connect Distribution

    All the parts distributors are losing money as manufacturers tie their agents into buying spares from themselves. Hence Connects involvement with Mastercare working on a cabinet price hoping to make money on the spares sales as well as pushing for increased sales to themselves from the businesses involved. We’ve had sales directors etc. asking us why we aren’t increasing our spares from Connect considering the amount of business we’re doing. We currently spend an average of £8K a month with Connect and they want more!

    If GIAS come on board that increases their profit margins – how are we going to increase ours?
