Re: Review of Schedule 2 of the Controlled Waste Regulations
Fully agreed… They should get me and you in there first and we’d draw-up a regulation set that effectively allowed everyone to do their job without hinderences whilst keeping safety at an utmost concern and weeding out the profiteering large company (lets scrap it gang) who care for nothing to do with the environment or the benefits of others, but are mearly interested in lining their pockets.
Re: Second hand spare parts??
Pro’s
1. Getting good money for stuff you would normally end-up scrapping.
2. You can end-up realising more cash in good parts salvaged from a BER machine than if you had sold the acual machine in good order.
3. Money saving on parts for refurbishing other machines.
4. You know you are doing your bit for the environment.Con’s
1. You need space.
2. You need to be able to list the machines that the part will fit to be able to competently sell the parts to others. (listings from other websites would help there)
3. It is time consuming.George

You would need to supply the long number on the sticker just inside the door before any prices can be attempted. However, it sounds like the machine proberbly needs new bearings & seal.
Re: Red Stains on Clothing ?

This is the reason I keep asking questions about this .. If the staining was there before as she says, how is it the same now?
squadman wrote:When you refer to source stains I am envisaging that you are talking about stains that might point to the cause of this problem ?
Yes, Staining usually happens in a manner that it is at its darkest nearest to the cause of the staining. Likewise, look for spatter patterns.. The more concentrated the staining, the closer to the source you are.

Re: Red Stains on Clothing ?
I cant invisage the black oil type marks coming from that error, as the only part of an element capable of assimilating such marks is the rubber seal, but that is not able to come into contact with anything.
Do you have an explanation of these marks?
Did you look for ‘Source stains’?

Yes it was Steve. It was done under instruction from the factory manager, but due to the dangerous gasses (purple cloud of chlorine gas) it caused an evacuation of the whole factory.
squadman wrote:Its a sticky wicket which I reckon we might have to accept !
Personally, following your current procedures, I wouldn’t be ready to just accept, or in the alternative deny, anything without firstly accepting the machine itself back into the workshop for stripdown and re-inspection.
The cause could be anything, even down to someone leaving something in a shirt pocket (I know that is unlikely, but it does happen). If the staining is on the shirts it will also be on the inner of the outer drum..
1. Did she do a cleaning wash on re-installation of the washer?
2. That is very prominant staining even if you failed to fully seal the bearing… This does look like what you would get from a full failed (old) bearing.
3. The marks are black. Bearing grease inside a NEW bearing is clear is it not?
4. Is the same type/shape of staining on all ten shirts? If so then how
5. Is there a capability of something entering the washer from the drain-end?
There are plenty of questions like this that you should be investigating before just giving-up.

Re: Red Stains on Clothing ?
Used to work for a chemical company when I was 16… It made a great impression when someone poured acid into a mop bucket that had bleach in it.

May I suggest that one of the appliance engineers would be able to help you if you click here Find An Engineer

Yes, so long as you are invited to do so by the tennant, or, it is in you T&C.
I would suggest explaining to the tennant that you need to do this until such time as you are paid for the appliance. Suggest that the money could be paid by deducting it from rent owed and see if the tennant is willing to do this.
Be aware though… it could be that the person is still on holiday. Although what is suggested above keeps you on this side of the law, it may annoy your landlord that you have not kept to your agreement with him and also that you have involved his tennant.

Going back to my chemistry lessons (a long tome ago) to stop the affect of bleach (an alkli) rotting rubber an acid will need to be used to neutralise its effects. I think lemon juice is an acid. Please double check all this but I sure that’s right.

iPhone using TapatalkBleach is an alkaline PH12.6 – Lemon Juice is acid PH2.2 – That will give you a value of PH10.4 .. White vinegar would be closer, but still not all the way there…
Only if you get the right ph’s to balance to PH7, then one will neutralise the other.
Be careful mixing Acids with Alkalines – A mixture of the two wrong ones can create Chlorine Gas which is DEADLY

Re: Sorry, washing machine recommendation needed 🙂
Yes.. I would advise you to get a second opinion if it is not going to increase your costs.
Point 1. It would depend on your model as to whether you have a thermostat or not but from what you have described I asume that you have and that it has failed… Some thermostats have regulator type body behind them and if this is what the engineer is describing then they are not expensive to buy or fit.
Point 2. Door seals for the Nexus range from £15 upwards, they are not that dificult to change and dials usually cost even less.
If the machine is in otherwise good condition and you are wanting to keep it because it is normally reliable, I would say pay to get it repaired and serviced.
