Cycles are different (60 hz compared to 50hz)and so it would the timer and rotisserie motor would not advance correctly

You won’t be able to run it in the UK

You guys seem to do fixed price labour calls.
We give estimates but the customer is charged what the job costs, not what the best case scenario is, as sometimes jobs require additional work and recovering that additional labour is difficult if a fixed labour price is quoted.
Out of town calls are charged a mileage (it’s not my fault they live out of town)
Also you seem to return to complete jobs at no additional charge
Here a call out of $A60 plus $A10 per 5 minutes plus parts plus tax
Put your rates on a contract or on your invoice or as in the url belowhttp://www.appliance.asn.au/Facts.html
It seems to me that today customers wants to blame someone else for their predicament and I refuse to feel guilty.
Any response should put the guilt back on them by quoting costs, taxes, if they had done their research, if they had…. etc etc etc
And of course there’s the “why didn’t you say that in your ad” “why didn’t the operator tell me”
If we had to say all the things we do and don’t do there would be no time for working.
Spin speed is not the whole answer

I take your point about debatable quality and that is exactly my point.
I also think that there are a far larger percentage of wooden floored houses globally than you assume.
Do you not accept even the possibility that there is a genuine fault with the machine?
Is it not possible for someone with a concrete floor to have a faulty washing machine?
Are you seriously saying that people with faulty washing machines ergo vibrations should move if they have wooden floors?
Do you think that BMW’s are solely designed for the UK?
I think you are referring to your terms and agreement with warranty sales for white goods?
It is a two way dialogue here.
Did I explain it was going on a wooden floor? No I did not.
I think you have stated several times the fact that a Meile would work well in the same position and so trying out the LG on a concrete base what would that be proving?
It’s faulty or of inferior quality?
Interestingly, did you know of the perentage of the cars being recalled in Europe?
Would you feel happier if the appliance was more dangerous before you said replace the unit?

Well said Kulumbo
Over to you Kwatt
What’s this about me sending you too much stuff to read
To assist you I’ve mostly only quoted the questions Kulumbo has asked
Oh! and spin speed is not the whole answer
Is that the dinner bell
Oh, this is just too much to bear
It seems a pastor from Maine skipped services one Sunday to go bear hunting in the mountains. As he turned the corner along the path, he and a bear collided. The pastor stumbled backwards, slipped off the trail, and began tumbling down the mountain with the bear in hot pursuit. Finally the pastor crashed into a boulder, sending his rifle in one direction and breaking both legs. As the bear closed in, the pastor cried out in desperation, “Lord, I’m sorry for what I have done. Please forgive me and save me Lord, please make that bear a Christian.”
Suddenly the bear skidded to a halt at the pastor’s feet, fell to its knees, clasped its paws together and said, “God, bless this food which I am about to receive.”Two guys are out in the woods hiking. All of a sudden, a bear starts chasing them. They climb a tree, but the bear starts climbing up the tree after them. The first guy gets his sneakers out of his knapsack and starts putting them on. The second guy says, “What are you doing? He says, “I figure when the bear gets too close, we’ll have to jump down and make a run for it.” The second guy says, “Are you crazy? You can’t outrun a bear…” The first guy says, “I don’t have to outrun the bear. I only have to outrun you…
One day Mrs. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at the local church. “Reverend,” she said, “I have a problem, my husband keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It’s very embarrassing. What should I do?” “I have an idea,” said the minister. “Take this hatpin with you. I will be able to tell when Mr. Jones is sleeping, and I will motion to you at specific times. When I motion, you give him a good poke in the leg.”
In church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off. Noticing this, the preacher put his plan to work. “And who made the ultimate sacrifice for you?” he said, nodding to Mrs. Jones.
“Jesus!”, Jones cried as his wife jabbed him the leg with the hatpin.
“Yes, you are right, Mr. Jones,” said the minister. Soon, Mr. Jones nodded off again. Again, the minister noticed. “Who is your redeemer?” he asked the congregation, motioning towards Mrs. Jones.
“God!” Mr. Jones cried out as he was stuck again with the hatpin.
“Right again,” said the minister, smiling. Before long, Mr. Jones again winked off. However, this time the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few motions that Mrs. Jones mistook as signals to bayonet her husband with the hatpin again.
The minister asked, “And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his 99th son?” Mrs. Jones poked her husband, who yelled, “You stick that goddamned thing in me one more time and I’ll break it in half and shove it up your ass!” “Amen,” replied the congregation.A bear walks into a bar in Billings, Montana, and sits down. He bangs on the bar with his paw and demands a beer. The bartender approaches and says, “We don’t serve beer to bears in bars in Billings.”
The bear, becoming angry, demands again that he be served a beer.
The bartender tells him again, more forcefully, “We don’t serve beer to belligerent bears in bars in Billings.”
The bear, very angry now, says, “If you don’t serve me a beer, I’m going to eat that lady sitting at the end of the bar.”
The bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings.”
The bear goes to the end of the bar, and, as promised, eats the woman. He comes back to his seat and again demands a beer.
The bartender states, “Sorry, we don’t serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings who are on drugs.”
The bear says, “I’m NOT on drugs.”
The bartender says, “You are now. That was a barbitchyouate.Re: Are there any rules about supplying service manuals?

Well said Kwatt.
Precise, and well, concise considering the subject.
I would add that as the repairers we don’t make them and we don’t break em.
That the consumer should take it up with the retailer or the manufacturer.
And remember that you got an unbaised opinion here.
Want the good oils?
Ask a repairer who has to deal with an angry machine and an angry customer
Postscript
Vinegar, Epsom salts and anything else that you could bath in are ineffectual. Volitile substances, ie products that have vapours that are explosive must never ever be used (i.e. Kerosine, and other petroleum produsts)Through years of experience I now always recommended that a washer (front or top loader) be run on a hot wash only, no clothes, and a soak cycle if possible after placing a cup of dishwasher powder in the bowl. If no dishwasher powder then a 1/2 a cup of caustic soda (Drain cleaner). This approach is now advised by Fisher & Paykel. This will break down the fatty depositscaused by Fabric Softener. The seals in a washing machine are the same as in a dishwasher so no damage has ever been observed. Ensure that the machine completes it’s rinse cycles. Note that contact with caustic soda is dangerous and all precautions must be observed (read label). If in doubt, don’t proceed. Dishwashing powder is a dilute form of caustic soda.

Post your email or fax no. and I’ll send you a diagnostic process with which you can ascertain a faulty component or a fault code. If you can then post the fault code I’ll send you the most likely causes.
