Re: re: CHEAPER AND CHEAPER
This trend certainly isn’t country or continent specific mikem although I agree with your sentiments regarding customer awareness.
Cheap products in the market place are one thing and one that is of no help to either us, the repairer or the consumer in the long term, as has been mentioned.
What I personally find abhorent is consumers/customers (whichever term you prefer) being led in to a false sense of “quality” by a brand name which has been purchased on the cheap and used as a sales tool, or more recently “household” brand names buying very low quality products and rebadging them. Both of the above are hand in hand to a certain extent.
MFI purchase HAIER dishwashers at around £30 a throw and sell them for over £300 !! This is of course not their whole range as many of the products sold with MFI kitchens are of a good quality, it’s just an example.
CDA were also thinking along the same lines I believe until they asked a few peolpe about reliability 😉
They of course are not the only culprits, B&Q do exactly the same as do many of the larger kitchen companies.
The main theme of this thread needs to be customer awareness, manufacturers have factories in many countries these days, you can’t hold the factory and/or the country to ransom.

Re: Electric Hob
It sounds like a poor earth connection to me, as in the hob doesn’t have a good connection to the house earth circuit.
As you appear to have a knowledge of test equipment, have you tested the continuity between an exposed part of the hob and the sink.. with the power off ?

Re: Hygena AHY8102 Dishwasher help
Regeneration is to do with the water softening process, no need to investigate anything in that area 😉

Re: Dedeteitrich door hinges
Thanks, and to you Clive.
I meant the bin number of the hinge though, rather than the catalogue 😀

Re: Ocean fridge/freezer APM 6825
Willie did post the make and model Clive 😉
It’s a Brandt made unit for MFI, although why it’s badged Ocean I have no idea.
This one is controlled by a pcb which is the most likely failure on these, £100.39 + VAT though for the part :eeek:
It may not be that of course, best call an engineer to make a diagnosis for you really Willie.

Re: Looking for wash motor for unknown brand Dishwasher
Just confirm that is it please.
It does come complete as shown with the impellor/seals etc.
It isn’t cheap though I’m afraid, cheapest place I can find is Merloni Elettrodomestici as opposed to the other Merloni who actaually made the dishashwer as they used the same model and rebadged it.
Even so, it’s still £96.51 plus £5.50 postage (inc VAT).
