Re Comment –
“(these elements where marked as ELE3799 but are repackaged genuine parts)”
I think you will find that they are not repackaged genuine parts.
Re: WMA Drum 5 yr Guarantee
eg….
“My ad in Yellow Pages for years said “No Candys”. I am quite seriously considering changing it to “No Hotpoints under 5 years old”.
It’s junk. I know it, you know it and a lot of our customers now know it. I’d rather no risk my hard-earned reputation on this sort of rubbish. “
Re: WMA Drum 5 yr Guarantee
Ahhhhh……
Here we go….. I’m sure there will be half a dozen posts over my comments. I could have posted it in one of a few forums concerning manufacturers, parts, reliability etc……as all of them seem to receive some pretty bad press.
Re: WMA Drum 5 yr Guarantee
[size=9]”Just done a quick check over thast 4 weeks Hotpoint WMA’s
1 Pump failed
7 sump blocked
2 carbon brushes
1 susp peg out (Hotpoint engineer did bearing change in Feb this year!)
2 module blown due to chaffing wires, both repaired by patching.
err…. bearings? none! “Moan, moan, moan…..it sounds as if you want all of the machines to be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} reliable…then where would you all be…looking for a new career !!!
Re: Cheapest Genuine HPT carbons?
Hotpoint lamintes are fine.
Let Dave know what are the other fast moving brush’s. He should be able to get a bulk price.
Thanks
Re: The Great EEPROM scam
I am told that all of the information you need on eeproms etc is on the partfinder CD.
Is this incorrect ??
Thanks
Re: Hotpoint Tub/Drum
The complete drum will continue to be available to the trade and there will be ample stock by Monday 21st Feb.
Rear half’s are still out of stock and will be a couple of weeks.
Re: 6224745 Fan Elements NIL Stock 🙁
There seems to be a national shortage of this element.
We are expecting delivery 15/11 (hopefully sooner) with existing orders going out the following day to the distributors. (If out supplier performs).
Re: A Vision of the Future?
Sorry…yes…I was looking at the £35 charge payable by insurers etc.
And yes….the price of the actual finished good’s is too cheap and makes most repairs un economical…no matter how cheap the spare is.
I would expect to see an increase in the price of finished goods next year due to the increase in raw material costs. (Although a similar increase would have to be passed on to the price components. We have already seen this from a number of manufacturers this year). So no real change !
The list price has to be calculated to cover cost’s etc after the distributors discount from list. Most of the fast moving lines (over 600 for Merloni at the last count) are sold at net prices and prices are “marked up” by distributors. The list price on the CD does not reflect that. Unfortunately if you do not want to quote list for fear of losing the job you have to do as Martin does and go away, check the latest offers, and then quote. Not ideal.
Not sure what the answer is.
Re: A Vision of the Future?
Just out of interest.
An out of guarantee Hotpoint machine.
Needs a new motor. 1604822 replaces the old 1601978.
On sale to the trade via a national distributor at £37.49 plus vat. (Which is not that expensive for a new and very reliable motor).
The list price of this motor is £81.60.
Are you going to charge £81.60, plus £35 charge plus vat…. £137.00.
Or are you going to disregard the list price and work on your own mark up, of say 40{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} on the motor, £62.48 and get the job at a more realistic £114.53 ???
Re: Patten or Genuine Spare Parts ????
Thanks for running the poll…..the results were as expected.
All of the comments made have been noted and the availability of technical information is under discussion. It’s obvious that as machines become more complicated (eeproms and the like) more and more are going to BER’d if the correct technical information is not easily available.
Thanks again.

Re: Patten or Genuine Spare Parts ????
If you order by credit card and prove (by headed paper etc) you are trade you are entitled to 20{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} off list. Orders must be faxed and a call for the credit card details will then be made byMDA.
(Although 20{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} is not going to get you very far…..).
