Re: easi-rent
The stats look good on paper but to be realistic finding 1000 customers to rent machines to and then finding another 12 a week in year 2 is pie in the sky.
You get £25 to deliver and install it? Well you won`t make anything from that as it will cost you more in wages, time and fuel, But………….. Hold me back!! you get £2 per month per machine you rent! less taxes of course.
You`ll have to advertise this, so say £100(at the very least, and a damn site more if you are expecting to get anywhere close to 1000 customers) so there`s the first 50 months (that`s over 4 years)of your rental on one appliance gone(or one months rental on 25 appliances).
It also says that if the appliance is unrepairable(or I`ll bet if the customer doesn`t pay the rental) you have to collect or exchange it but there is no mention of any fee for this. So one collection will cost you around £50.
BUT … the main problem I see is getting someone to pay £14.50 per month to rent a washing machine when the sheds are selling them at prices that you could buy for approx 1 years rental. Chances are they will last more than a year and if they dont they just buy another and they`re no worse off…..but I`m sure there must be at least 1000 people in your area and another 12 a week on the waiting list who were never any good at Maths and are just itching to give you their money so you can hand it all over to MG Domestics apart from your £2 of course.
It`s not for me you may have guessed but just thought I`d put my side of the coin in( the whole £2 worth) 😆
Re: Look at what you’re missing
Whey Hey!!!!
Got my first ever repairs@ job today!!
At this rate I`ll be able to retire when I`m 198! 😆
Let`s hope it`s the first of many.
P.S. Is there any way of checking my repairs@ information to see if it`s up to date?Re: whirlpool tumble dryer
What was the original fault before you replaced the timer?
part no. I get for this model is 481228218915 for timer
Re: Whirlpool G2P DWS (8511 342 15511)
Hi Martin,
Not 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} clued up on dishwashers but if you mean the flat plastic thingy stuck to the side that fills with water then its 481241868208
Re: hotpoint ts14
1701557 is not the correct stats for your dryer and will blow when used.
Order the correct ones from the link above in Kwatts post and you`ll probably get them next day.
Re: how to cover this
Yes, Ken`s right, although if you have some clause where it states that if someone else has been into the appliance then the guarantee is void you could use that one.
For the sake of 20 miles, I`d just go and repair it for good customer relations.

But I am doing this jut as a way to calculate its capacitance.Baron, are you also saying that short circuiting a charged cao will damage it?For the second question… (SCC discharge) YES surely
For the first problem I only can explain that is more difficult to calculate capacitance: is involving also source frequency; induction coil (Henry) and absorbed current (Imax).
In order to understand what happened between two coils supplied with alternative voltage:
– imagine one sinusoidal wave (which is voltage value at coils pole). paste exactly over one identical…. so will look also current diagram thru inductive coil=> magnetic field generated have same frequency and phase => rotor (will be kept still but will hummmm like one transformer).
– If in one coil will be inserted one conder depending on his capacitance will diphase (grate cap.=> grater diphase): take one sinusoidal described earlier and moves her horizontal a bit. So you will see one wave but double (?) => In excitement coil (that with cap.) will be generated one magnetic field in the same direction but little bit late… which will help to turn motor.Like one supplemental explanation one motor has two or four poles: in order to get one of rotor point to next pole it must be help with that exciting coil and capacitor. Therefore is difference between synchrony motor (this case) and asynchrony motor (with brushes): with you try to stop him it will keep rotation until he will stop suddenly when the other motor will reduce steeply rotation regarding force.
I was just about to say that but you beat me to it 😆Re: Sudbury to the Sea
Okay then Lawrence, I will kick this off.
24 miles Ken says, I will give you £2 per mile, which if members of this forum remember will amount to the similar amount I paid for a rusty HUGE bra wire a while back.
Good luck!Re: pat test
so how do you know when the unsleeved plug was fitted?
When I did my course way back, we were told that unsleeved plugs were fine but that the best way is to change them for the sake of 45p and keep yourself right. If someone gets electrocuted and they blame it on an unsleeved plug and you passed the appliance then how do you prove the plug was fitted before the regulations were brought in?
I`ll tell you…. You can`t!
So just because you`ve done a course on PAT testing doesn`t mean you know it all. Common sense has a part in it as it does in all aspects of life.
Change the plug for a sleeved pin plug and that`s it then you have nothing to lose.

Yes, but in which direction?
