Re: ADVICE RE NEW WASHING MACHINE
Have gone for the Bosch WAE24364GB – currently on offer for £311 at Boots Kitchen Appliances (delivery, connection and recycling of old one are extra, as everywhere else.)
Again, thanks for all the friendly expert advice on offer here.Re: ADVICE RE NEW WASHING MACHINE

Am getting senile: I meant HOOVER (not Hotpoint!) in the original post.
Will check out the Bosch you gave the link to, though.
Thanks and apologies.
Re: INCREDIBLY LOUD NOISE ON SPIN:HOTPOINT AQUARIUS EXTRA WM
Many thanks to those who have contributed advice.
It looks certain that the bearings have gone. Two local firms have quoted “about £120” and “around £150” (their words) and we feel that, as it’s possible the bearings might not be the only problem, we’ll probably go for a replacement. As we’re planning to move back to France (my wife is French) within the next 2-3 years, we’re not looking for super quality. Anyone have any thoughts about the Hoover OPH614, currently on sale at £279?
(Perhaps I can post this question separately, if Forum etiquette allows it?)
Again, all advice very gratefully received.Re: INCREDIBLY LOUD NOISE ON SPIN:HOTPOINT AQUARIUS EXTRA WM
Great – and, again: thanks!
Will have a go at this when at home, either late today or tomorrow.Re: INCREDIBLY LOUD NOISE ON SPIN:HOTPOINT AQUARIUS EXTRA WM
What would be the best way to do this? (Sorry for taking up your time – am really grateful for the feedback!)?
Re: INCREDIBLY LOUD NOISE ON SPIN:HOTPOINT AQUARIUS EXTRA WM
Hard for me to know what is normal, but:
side to side: a tiny bit of movement
up and down: almost no movement
in/out – back to front: most movement, but doesn’t ‘feel’ loose or abnormalSorry: this is all probably too vague.
Re: INCREDIBLY LOUD NOISE ON SPIN:HOTPOINT AQUARIUS EXTRA WM
Many thanks for such a quick reply. Will check when current programme is finished (am sitting in front of computer with fingers in ears at mo!)
Re: Electrolux Chest Freezer Beeping
Just wondering………
On closer examination (now that I’ve calmed down a bit), there’s a ridge of solid frosting which stands just proud of the door and, although it doesn’t seem to prevent it closing properly (the rubber seal appears to close round it), could that be allowing air to enter and thus raise the temp?
You guys are extraordinarily patient (or you give the impression of being!)……Re: Electrolux Chest Freezer Beeping
Thanks for such a swift reply – really grateful.

Re: Fridge in garage?
Many thanks to ALL of you for taking the time and trouble to share your expertise – easily said, but it is much appreciated.
It’s clear that running a fridge in a garage is not an especially good thing to do and your posts have explained why.
In the end, I think we’ll have to take the risk, since we haven’t the room for the size of fridge which we have got used to inside the house and the Bosch has run for about 3 years without problems. Furthermore, we’re hoping to move in a year or so, so, with a bit of luck, this will be temporary.
I think I’m going to go for the cheapest reasonably good looking fridge I can find (Currys, Dixon, somewhere like that) and see if I can get a couple of years out of it.
A final thought (don’t laugh): I wonder whether it would have any positive effect whatsoever to put those thickish plastic packing things down the side (making sure no ventilation is blocked) for insulation….?
Once again, thanks for your help.Thanks, Bryan.
I’ve been scanning Currys and Dixons etc websites, but that info doesn’t seem to be given. Given that I’m looking for around 5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} only, have you any ideas – brands, models, manufacturers, for example – which could point me in the right direction? We’re definitely more interested in a single fridge than a combi, as we have a chest freezer in the same garage. With all the French in-laws descending at Christmas, it’s getting abit urgent!
I do very much appreciate you guys’ expert help. Thanks again.Thanks for such a quick reply and PLEASE forgive what (I bet) are stupid questions:
1. Are you saying (‘a separate fridge and freezer would do the trick’) that a fridge, rather than a f/freezer combi, would be OK in this situation? If so, that would be great, because it’s really the fridge, rather than freezer, which we need there. Any recommendation as to what specifications/brand/model we should look for?
2. F/freezer with two separate compressors and thermostats: are these common/reasonably cheap? Again, any suggestions?
Thanks once again for your help – sorry to be a pain!
