    Re: Befuddled – help please choosing upright fridge freezer

    Have a look at Bosch or Gorenje which are in you range and also have a two years parts and labour warranty.

    I think if you look you will see that there is a ridge on the back of the shelves that is supposed to stop this happening, secondly it is mentioned in the handbook. Seriously, you cannot expect the manufacturer to be held responsible for the way you stack your fridge.

    Sorry you have misunderstood my explanation – when I was talking about the back wall I actually meant the internal back wall of the refrigerator ie inside the fridge. If items of food touch this wall they will freeze. Hope that clarifies the query.

    Really a shot in the dark, you need to check if you have similar resistance reading on all the thermistors if so you may have a pcb fault.

    Top off, soap dispenser out, facia off, concrete blox off, back off, motor out, shocks disconnected, unplug required wiring, tub out of top, front of tub off, pulley off, knock drum out, replace bearings and replace in order. In otherwords its a pain in the ass.

    Currys keep a database of sales, all you have to do is quote your name and postcode and they will supply you with a copy of your receipt. We use them all the time when the customer is unable to confirm date of purchase – guess you got a numpty 8)

    Bryan – If you are thinking of Nottingham take note, this is awful to navigate through yes the town centre has nice bistros etc but unlike Coventry, Birmingham etc the traffic management sucks 😕

    The rear of the fridge area when running is at about -20C although the air temperature is between 2-8C. If things are pushed against the back wall when the appliance goes into defrost mode water will congregate on whatever is resting there. Subsequently, when the appliance goes to normal operation this will freeze. One the issue of droplets on the back this is normal, this appliance has a timed defrost and sometimes is unable to clear the rear in the time allocated – usually clears it the next defrost cycle. Hope that helps.

    Re: September 2009

    I agree with all Chris has said with one reservation. In my opinion we must sort out which hat we are wearing. Are we trying to push forward the WTA, are we continuing UKW or are we combining the two. I feel that the February meeting is all about the WTA, our connections with the trade and engineers networking with trade etc. The time of the year is good for the work providers to attend, good for venues and good for engineers. Take that a step forward and deals with spares suppliers etc can be aired under the WTA banner – the TA is doing something for its members. Lets be candid the engineers meeting is just really about meeting old friends, chewing the fat and having afew beers not about upping our game. The february meeting allows us to show the rest that we really are worth consideration as a trade body. Or from my army days, bullshit baffles brains – how do you do that if you invite suits to your meeting – wear a tie 😀 😀 😀

    Re: September meeting @ coventry hilton hotel

    Tina – Once again thank you and Bryan for putting together the accommodation etc. I personally think this is the best venue we have had sofar. Who can complain at a room with a superkingsize bed at £65 for two of us, an evening meal for £15 a head and help yourself breakfast. The choice of meeting rooms is variable depending on what we are doing and to be honest we have outgrown Sibson. I hope the concensus is that we do the February 2010 meeting here 😀 Many thanks to you both.

    Tell you what Richard, you get the information from Maytag about the techie things you want and I’ll sit in my utility room infront of my ISE10 and note down what mine does. This way we both learn something 😀

    Re: diplomat apm 8552 Help!!

    OK – Piece of paper out, line drawn down the middle – For at one side of the line, against at the other –
    Washing machine was made by Antonio Merloni (Servis) for MFI, both have gone bust. This makes spares difficult but not impossible to source.
    Likely to be either a motor fault, or a electronic PCB fault caused by a leakage of water or general failure of both. Electronic boards are available or can be refurbished. Motors are much more difficult to come by and will cost in excess of £150, PCB likely to be 85+ new. You will need an engineer to come out and look at it. So once you have put the items in the columns perhaps you will conclude that a new machine is more cost effective or not ❓
