Re: Indesit door boots in general
Got my way of doing it from this site a few years ago, easy as owt on zanusis Bosch and all the spring types. Fit seal onto drum and turn outer edge in if its possible. Washing up liquid over hands and seal, lip the spring in at the bottom edge and work your hands round the seal pulling the spring up as you go. 5 minutes tops. It used to take me ages.
Re: Beko WMXD760s programme fault
No code at all. Put it on a wash and will fill ok, then every 30 seconds or so drum will ‘shake’ and the circ pump will fire up for about five seconds, it then waits for another 30 seconds. Put it on cancel and apart from the fill, does the same procedure. All components look and test fine except this time I’ve seen a coil with earth wires connected to it taped to the motor loom. The wires have come detached from the coil. Don’t know if this has any bearing on it. The machine is an absolute pig to work on as its in a 5 foot wide by four foot deep utility room which gives me just enough room to see under the machine when the doors are closed and with my feet legs poking into the other room……don’t laugh :-(.

Same fault again :-(. All the usual test ok. Think I’m on a loser with this one.

Re: 1607w rubber lip thing around door
Just had a call about one of these coming adrift. Do they need replacing or can they be refitted?

Took a punt and it was the main programme pcb (upper right one) that was the culprit 🙂

Not so. Got customers with my cards from 10 years plus ago. Always give them out and always seeing them again 😉
TonyRe: Misleading?
There is another aspect to this. Round these parts (pardner) yellow pages still has a hold….god knows why, and unless you spend thousands more on shoehorning your t&c in the ad some punters are always going to feel aggrieved that you can’t fit all the spiel on there.
Like on a day off recently (Saturday 2pm)I had a barney with some old bat on the phone saying that because I advertise ‘same day service’ I should come out to her regardless of my day off. Stopped short of a full Father Jack on her because she couldn’t grip the fact that I am a sole trader, just me on my own etc. etc…..
It’s all advertising innit……probably the best repair firm in the world an all that 😉Tony
Re: Misleading?
For Call out charge I hear as a booking fee if you will, or a charge to get to them, unless I’m wrong most people don’t confuse this with fixed fee repairs. If someone does go on the pedantic route after I’ve told them my prices (like the ones who ring and say ‘well your advert says you repair xxxxx’ when
Google or whatever has picked up on repairs) ‘I charge for any work while I am in the house which includes diagnosis. I don’t charge to get to you. If they are in the minority that can’t understand that basic principle of that then I don’t want them as they are usually after FREE STUFF 👿 .
TBH most of them turn up on the weeks when it’s quiet, don’t know why that is :con:Tony
Re: Misleading?
TBH Tim I think the person who answered the phone was polite to say the least. I can understand getting involved if they are ripping people off but they explained their charges to you. I advertise ‘no call out charge’ and so does every repairer in my area, if someone asks do you charge a call out I tell them ‘no, but I charge for any work carried out including diagnosis only calls’. Can’t see a problem if you’re upfront with them.

Re: LEC fridge
Sounds like a plan :tup:
Can’t find any link to spares for it anywhere…apart from Espares having the usual 7 pages of sparecessories :rolls:
