Re: comet…again!!!

Whilst I agree that most of the sales staff that I have encountered are not the best, the service side staff that I have come into contact with have in the main been of a very high standard given the conditions they had to work under.Ok i’m not often outspoken and I too agree comet engineers were indeed placed under a great deal of pressure and maybe that was the problem but in the area I cover I’m afraid I often had to sweep up after a comet engineer and why my view point is as it is.
Re: comet…again!!!
Feedback from my customers has always been negative towards Comet from the sale’s staff being mainly just kid’s with limited knowledge other then gaining exsperience in how too build a bigmac from previous employent to the service side and having to wait weeeks for parts for the comet engineer to make a service call back with them and scratch his head . Getting shut of comets engineers (the jack of all make’s but master of none) was too little too late . Must be terrible for the store staff though on the run up to christmas
Re: AEG spray arm alarm but can’t diagnose

Re: AEG Electrolux 16830 really noisy
A constant hollow rumbling sound on spinwhich i’m guessing you’ve got will be the bearings which is an exspensive job
Re: Zanussi ZDE26100W belt replacement
You need to remove the cream coloured plastic back cover then remove the rear panel which covers the heater then looking from the back you need to remove the worktop and the left side panel altogether . Remove the screws dowm the right side securing the right side panel to the back but dont remove the side panel.Next under the heater is a screw remove this and then remove the circlip around the drum shaft in the middle of the rear bearing. The back panel will now pull back enough to place belt over the drum . Refit all covers and screws but leave left side panel off so you can tension the belt around the motor pulley wheel .Incidently the pulley wheel may be stiff and worn and thats why the belt has snapped.
Re: Zanussi 6850 fault code
This model has that imfamous IWMS side tank so worth taking a look at what state thats in also it was common on these for a dry solder joint to appear under the heater relay on the pcb . Personally I would advise your customer not to bother if it needs any parts as you’ll be opening pandora’s box as this range had a mulitude of problems and revisions which never solved the issue’s it had .
Re: John Lewis machine E20 /E21 code
Have you just connected it on a sink spigot if you have then this may still be capped off . If you can hear the pump churning then it has to be a blockage if your sure the drain hose is clear and the sink spigot is ok then it must be a blockage in the sump hose (between the tub and pump manifold) .
Re: Error E40 on Zanussi ZWF14581W
:lesson: Dont crimp new connectors on its not good practice as its easy to then confuse the four wires as you could then fit them anyway around ,also if the amp tag isn’t crimped properley then the same problem you’ve got will just happen again !!! . The cable section can be ordered for under £10 and is easily replaced as it only fits between the switch and the board. You will need to also replace the switch though.
Re: Error E40 on Zanussi ZWF14581W
If its showing E40 and the door is closed then either the door lock has failed or what can happen on this model is that the door switch can damage the main board. Its also possible for the wiring connection to be burnt out either at the door switch or board end. The button on the door you refer to is just a mechanical child lock which when engaged prevents the door from closing at all. . So first thing to do is release the clip around the door seal and remove the two screw’s securing the door switch and check that first.

Although the articles you posted, 2 are the exact same event and that was an old guy that simply left his cooker on when not lit, the last one was a guy actually fitting something to the mains supply.
What i was talking about fitting would surely only have gas going to it when the oven is actually turned on, so saying the kitchen could fill with gas over night is a bit over the top.
Taking a part out of the FFD is not looking as good as I first thought, although I am sure it will work there is a far greater chance that it could leak.
The cooker is at the moment not connected to the gas supply.
The pipe going to the oven is just hanging loose as the FFd and oven jets have been removed.
I’m sure it should be safe to connect the cooker back up to use the hob burners and grill with the pipe just hanging open, as long as the oven is not used, I will remove the knob so it isn’t turned on by accident.
I will wait until I have the correct part and get somone to fit it.
Your above post prove’s you dont know the slightest thing about the reg’s for example under no circumstances must a gas pipe be left open unattended for a start. It really doe’s p me off that I have to go to the trouble of having to be gas safe every five years when people like yourself think its all just b0ll0cks and so have a go themselves risking family and nieghbours just to save £50-£80 pound but think nothing about spending thousands on a new car for example 😡 .Re: Flame Failure Device
:rolls: at the end of the day take into account the concenus of opinion you did ask our advice after all.
Re: Flame Failure Device
Anything could happen what do you want us to say ????? Just wish I knew were you lived so I warn the nieghbours
Re: Flame Failure Device
You shouldn’t even be fitting an FSD seriously glad i’m not your nieghbour and no you should never tamper with a safety device your very foolish. Partmaster in my view are irresponsible in supplying you the part in the first place. Do yourself and your nieghbours a favour and call in someone responsible. :rolls:
