Re: smeg fab f/freezer
we normally charge around £75 -£80 but you will have to keep it switched on as once you turn them off for a few days the refrigerant escapes quickly and then your back to square one . might be best to see if you can sell it through e bay as a none worker they seem to fetch silly money even when broken 😉
Re: smeg fab f/freezer
gas leak then mate wet wall evaporater so no genuine long term repair 🙁 ,ive regassed a few for customers but only on the understanding that the repair is not permanent and as such carries no warranty not been called back to any so can only assume the leak is minute
Re: smeg fab f/freezer
had a few compressor failures on these turn off freezer plug in then get your ear near the compressor for the fridge and listen to the faint humming of the compressor before it switches off on its internal protector (danfoss pot normally ) the last one i repaired the customer had bought off e bay for £250 with a blown fridge pot she happily paid £180 to have it fixed as a new one was going to cost her £900 😯
Re: Hotpoint TDC62 cond dryer
thanks for that (kez is my sister) that would explain why this customer has had 6 sets of stat kits in twelve months and paid £70 each time 😯 called us in after last engineer could only offer her mis use as a reason for the constant failure :rolls: not a spot of fluff anywhere 😆
Re: Get this…….
i had similar about ten years ago sold a recon washer and fridge freezer for 250 quid cheque bounced and try as i might i couldnt get the money back 4 months later she rings saying washer has gone wrong and can we call to repair it she just couldnt understand why i wouldnt call and started quoting all sorts of imaginary consumer laws to try and get me to go . After about ten mins of heated discussion she anounces that she will never use me again :rolls: at that point i fell about laughing and put the phone down ,got to admire there brass neck though :rolls: . Best thing to do though is ring all your local competition and warn them about her that way she will have a long time to wait to get it fixed 😆 thats what i did 😀
Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?

Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
i was about to plunge my hand in the base of a dishwasher a few months ago when the customer informed me that because it wasnt pumping out that her husband had poured industrial drain cleaner into the base to clear the blockage 😯 5 seconds later and my hand would have been burning :rolls:

we never fit parts not supplied by ourselves if something goes wrong under warranty ,the customer will still expect you to fit the parts for nothing and then insinuate its the way you fitted them as the reason for failure :rolls:
Re: sons
its why i always dread doing jobs for old folk on there own . After agreeing a price etc some know all relative rings questioning everything youve said and only just stopping short of calling you a conman.I particulaly like the son who informs you on your arrival to fix a washer that he s certain its the brushes and he would have done it himself but for his bad back 😥 then you inform them its an its an induction motor and has no brushes he normally retreats to another room till youve gone 😆
