    Re: Scandinova fridge/freezer problem

    Likely to be either short of gas or a knackered compressor.

    Re: Servis M7055-6WFF making weird noise & frosting up

    Simplistic answer – before you do anything, defrost the appliance ie switch it off put a couple of towels across the front and leave it off for at least 48 hours with the doors open. Then see what happens on restart. Its sound like you are totally frozen up behind the freezer evaporator cover.

    Re: Trade Honesty

    Whilst I totally agree with the vast majority of comments above, you have not taken into consideration the variables that quite often rear their heads on calls. Let us take the case of an engineer going out to an appliance that the work provider has not supplied training on but has a technical team that is supposed to supply technical expertise. Engineer turns up and has not the slightest idea what the fault is – he contacts the tech team who suggest changing this or that part. Engineer orders and subsequently changes part to find that this does not clear the fault. Who is at fault here, the engineer or work provider tech team – what is obvious is that the engineer after two calls is out of pocket on both time wasted and parts which he cannot return but has to pay for. At this point the only cost to the work provider is an opinion (wrong or otherwise) and passing the call, they have already made a profit on the parts. The problem to repair the appliance still rests with the repairer and it is his reputation that is tarnished not that of the work provider.

    Finally, how can a work provider company without recourse to its engineer network recover say £100 from this company when they only pay them £35 for the call

    Stealing parts is just fraud and I totally agree with you that those doing it should be forced out of this business – those checking the stats can see quite clearly where an overuse of parts arises and should question the repairer about this. Equally, they should be able to see where parts supply companies are overcharging on the parts they supply to repairers.
    I echo your point that we should acknowledge that we are not perfect but equally we do not get fairly treated in many cases either.

    Counter point finished 😉

    OK with the DASA thing think its an excellent idea – somewhere in that lot you have to slot – Gas Safe, F-Gas and the environment agency on an update on WEEE – 10 mins apiece should do.

    Re: Bauknecht Dishwasher which won’t empty

    Put the dishwasher to the start of a program and switch it on – it should pump out prior to filling – if this happens then the pump is OK
