Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
The easiest way is usually to get the bottom hose off the tub, ‘fiddle’ the bra wire to the opening with small screwdrivers through the holes in the drum and drop it out 😉

My question is a motor will pass at 4m but how long will it last if most i test are 20m including new onesHow long is a piece of string?…there are so many variables….how many washes a week, load size, environment, how often filters are cleaned, choice of wash program etc etc 😉
Re: bosch v454…water pouring out
If the drum is completely full and overflowing through the dispenser then the pressure system is blocked. If it’s just dribbling out while the machine fills then it’s simply a case of cleaning.
It may be necessary to strip the dispenser box right out and unclip it apart…but this will give full access to the hose underneath that takes the water into the tub too.
If you’re in a hard water area the chalk may be so stubborn that a replacement dispenser is the easy answer 😉
Re: Smoke….
Had a diplomat that went up in smoke a couple of weeks ago Chris, i declared it BER but if you can get me a part number for some more smoke i might be able to sort it then ? 😯 😆
Re: Customer seeks help!
IMO opinion TS would not be able to persue him because of a lack of evidence in just this issue, but if they receive several complaints of this nature they may try a ‘sting’ operation to catch him. Also IMO this would be worth reporting to the police as this is clearly a case of fraud to get a vulnerable person to part with their money…we know how seriously they take it when bogus callers claim to be from British Telecom etc well there’s not much difference is there?
And yes, C & E would be most interested too.
My advice would be to make the complaint sooner rather than later (to the police), you yourself have been defrauded by this person after all…and the sooner he is stopped the better 😉
Re: decisions decisions
We take the opposite view…i think there is a good living to be made and will be for the foreseeable future too. Like most businesses these days the big key IMO is flexibility, being prepared to do what others don’t and doing it well.
We are a small company with no shop premises (just two partners and a bookeeper) but we are looking to take on an employee later this year. We score against many of the local opposition because we sell new machines as well as repair, something that simply can’t be done by a one-man band. As a trusted repairer we do contract work for some of the WP’s which itself is not overly profitable but the spin-offs are better, and of course when we are in a house declaring an appliance to be beyond economic repair we are in a prime position to sell a replacement.
As to the future?….well we see ourselves doing much of the same but in a bigger way, higher work volumes generated from WP’s and publicity in various forms, and maybe even a shop premises too although i suspect the latter will depend on the usual estate agents three criteria (location, location, location) 😆
Yes tough times, but isn’t any business like rolling a ball up a hill?

Am I correct in assuming that the pump runs for a set time, and so if the water is draining but not flowing properly due to a partial blockage, then water will remain.Yes you are correct on both counts…and if you reset, the machine will automatically do a fixed time drain by default 😉
Re: Bosch/Neff Not Emptying
At 750m you might find something like this in your dishwasher, probably around the sump area. 😯
Re: Samsung RS21DCSV
Well i’m wondering because Connect show it at around 11 quid 😯
I’m assuming this is just a simple plastic cover on Connect and not ‘the works’? (i realise they’re not your favourite supplier Chris 😉 )
Re: Bauknecht Dishwasher
No….it’s a wee bit older than that…not really worth repairing TBH but the customer has sold her house and is moving out next thurs without the dishwasher 😉
Remember the older w/pools with the trapeze guillotine holding the decor door on, you know the ones with the little white plastic thumbscrews at the top?….well that’s the beastie!
I’ve got a part number for the w/pool pump but i’m not sure if the chamber will be correct….some have spare spigots which are moulded shut, and others where they are open 😕
