Re: WMA76 drum only has two bolts ????
Had that on a 95** years ago. Customer only called Hotpoint out because the belt kept falling off. It was about 6 months old by then.

Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
At my local scrap yard the other day and we shared a laugh about a minging old Servis Quartz washing machine I had brought in.
‘Thats nothing he said’. He’d got a washer in a couple of months ago from a local council vanman who when he dropped it off said ‘Don’t open the door whatever you do’.
Curiosity got the better of him and he did.
It absolutely stank to high heaven and was full of mouldy onion skins.
Apparently it had been picked up from behind a local curry house and was used for washing onions for curry :eeek:
Does that beat Martins buttons? 😀Tony C
Re: ego/ Diamond H conversion
Thought I’d have a word with Connect on this and see if they would send the sheet by email (just to see how bothered they could be).
Initial call at about 9.15 am and the C/S lad says they’ll email it out soon and credit the carriage as a goodwill gesture. Good on em I thought.
12.30 rang again, no record of it, start again and they log it as a complaint to be sorted asap.
Rang again 2.30 still not done.
Rang at 4.30, as its a complaint there is a backlog and it will be Monday at the earliest, as they have to contact the manufacturer for a sheet of paper.
Good job its not urgent eh!Tony C
Re: ego/ Diamond H conversion
It came in one of those small resealable bags with a handwritten label and a Yellow Connect label on it. A return methinks 😡 . I may have a word.

Thanks Mark 😀 ,
I’ll go back tomorrow and finish it off.
It had already taken me nearly an hour to find all the retaining screws for the hob as they were under a quarter inch of grease, then I find out the regulators are different on the home straight :twisted:.

Re: Moral problem ? or business sense ?
I usually get a couple of nutters a year on the repair side. Had one this week, old Indesit washer dryer not drying to an old couple who’d already cancelled two weeks ago. Went on Wednesday PM. Tested it and found the condenser blocked….it’s now red hot and the machine is in a tiny kitchen next to a gas cooker on at no 9.
I told them I’d be back between 10 / 12 next day and got yeah no probs, no stress, no mad rush from the husband(like some chilled hippy but he’s in his 80’s)
Thursday morning, by 11 oclock they’ve rung three times to find out where I am, and on the last call I heard him in the background say ‘ If he’s not here in twenty minutes he can f*** off….nice).
Obviously now ready to bend over backwards for them, arrive at 11.40
after hunting down a parking space (town centre). Got to the door and the once chilled hippy is now in a rage :con: .
‘It’s not a breakdown you know I only want you to get the fluff off the top:? Cand you do the job’.
So I explained about the red hot heater box (again) and how it would need to be stripped out to get to the condenser etc.
His reply was ‘If you can do it get up there and look bl***y sharp’
It didn’t get done!!!!!!
I’m in PrestonBut we get nutters everywhere while I was at Hotpoint a druggie threatened to hit me with a toolbag because when I’d changed his ripped door seal and water tested it, water backed up through the standpipe.When I told him he needed to get the council in to look at his drains he freaked. Wouldn’t let me leave and said that the previous engineer had to tried to get away by telling him that as well :con:
The office (Hotpoint in Wembley at that time) said leave your tools and leg it if you can.
Nutters everywhere.Tony C
