    you sure you didnt get the heater wet….low insulation heaters will stop the fill ……. rinse aid????, wouldnt effect the filling!

    Re: AEG FAV 40260IW motor kit

    ok these look worse than they are…puzzled me the first time…

    ther original motor block has the mains cables running through them ( i odnt know why but they did !!!!!)

    the new motor only has 2 connections which you connect the motor supply to..the mains connections are made using a connector in the kit and you just cable tie them into the loom away from the base…

    All they did was use the motor plug as a connector junction box for the mains cable, the new machines have a seperate mains filter…you are just joining the 2 cables up, by bypassing the new motor plug

    Some connect the tacho if it has it, if it dont just isolate the tacho connections from the new motor

    WHATEVER U DO , DO NOT USE THE NEW WATER HOSE CLIPS FROM THE KIT, USE THE OLD ONES AS THEY ARE TIGHTER….i ignored this advice on my first one and flooded the base on the first fill !!!

    hopr this helps. , typical german over engineering!!!! lol

    worth letting the heater warm up before you megger it …..always find E34 is low insulation heater….also check for holes rubbed in pressure hoses!

    Re: baumatic gas hob

    to be honest this is a funny situation….some manufactures allow non ‘gas safe ‘ engineers to fit electric parts to gas appliances!!….however , GAS safe means that you look for more than the applaince you work on…its the whole risk assessment of the situation and property…in my mind, even fitting a knob on a gas appliance, you need to be registered as you are a responsible person!……why would we go through that horrible exam for!…. i am afraid, some companys are putting profit before safety…..in my mind all test should be done everytime, gas checks even for non gas repairs, and loop tests on all properties!!!…

    Re: White knight small dryer CL372.

    easy get the fan off…..bend 5-6 of the blades away and get your mole grips on the shaft ……then twist the fan as it is screwed on a thread…as it unscrews the clip pings off…….you then continue to unscrew fan……on refitting rescrew the fan on and push the clip on with a nutspinner or box spanner….hope this helps

    normally the rear bearing felt collapses and you have to change the rear panel, belt and drum…….nightmare little devils these!
