Re: Manufacturers Parts List CD Roms
I assume from the previous comments that brian is an employee of GDA or Merloni Elettrodomestici as they are now known.
I actually missed this thread completely due to my being on holiday and only spotted it as Martin and wcda have posted to it today.
I too have serious misgivings over the price of “Partfinder” As a spares supplier, both retail and to a lesser extent wholesale, I find it necessary to buy all of the manufacturers CD’s and DVD’s. No disrespect to Washvac and Connect, but there is many thousands of mistakes in their own software programmes so it is in my interests to get it right first time and order the correct part by identifying it from the relevant manufacturer supplied cd/dvd.
This said, there are vast differences in the prices and information supplied, Partfinder being the worst value for money overall, not just due to the high initial buying price, but the lack of information over and above spares part numbers and diagrams alone, examples:
GDA Partfinder——- £85 Exploded diagrams, parts lists and prices. Renewable 6 monthly
Electrolux TDS ——-£20 All of the above, plus, wiring diagrams, service manuals and service bulletins. Renewable 6 monthly.
Whirlpool SIOS——-£40 All of the above, plus wiring diagrams and technical information. Renewable 6 monthly but £40 cost is annual.
BSH Group———–£FOC Web-based. Parts listings, exploded diagrams and prices.
MFI Identifier———£16.25 Exploded diagrams, parts lists and prices. Renewable 6 monthly. Written by the same software company as Partfinder.
Servevast (Smeg)——£FOC All of the above, although not a programme in itself, more a folder full of individual files, only FOC to agents as far as I am aware.
So, in my estimation that makes Electrolux TDS the best value, it’s the cheapest and has the most content, GDA Partfinder is the worst value, it’s the most expensive and only has the most basic parts information.
Just an opinion as ever.

Yes, not an unusual problem for many dishwashers to be honest. Remember though any member of the public reading this. Ensure the appliance is unplugged from the mains socket before undertaking any such repair, and if you are unsure of what you are doing, call an engineer !

Re: NESN/Connect
Well it’s been on the cards for many months now and to be quite honest, unless they are seen to do something very drastic, ie sack JT and any other of the oppressive twats they have lurking about, get themselves out in the open and start to make real changes, I very much doubt that even the brown goods side will survive.
It’s just a shame that so many of the members and NESN staff have been victims of the little games that those in power at Stoke have been playing.
We have seen what was once the largest independant network in the UK reduced to scraping around for small, low volume, short time deals in a little over 12 months. Never again will any network try and screw it’s members like NESN did, and rightly so !!
Those that opress will be opressed IMO.
I’ll post this in the NESN forum in time, when JT’s/NESN’s future is confirmed, I assume the “vote of no confidence” is, at present just rumour ?

Re: Stoves Washer Dryer,
Penguin
Stoves main number is 0151 4327838. It’s the usual “you have a million options please take a stab in the dark and hit any phone key, you might be lucky” type service.
Best bet is get through to them, get the part number and order it via you’re prefered spares supplier, or whack the part number here, many Stoves parts are used by other manufacturers so quite often they are available elswhere a lot quicker and cheaper.

Re: REMOVAL OF TOPIC
It looks as if he’s trying to make friends again by posting lighthearted crap and ammuse everyone.
I think he’ll soon wind it down though.

Re: Would you buy Remploy
I had a letter from Remploy this morning inviting me to visit their new facility at Bristol.
Thanks, but no thanks ! The recon market here is no more, it has ceased to be and gone to the great scrapyard in the sky.

Re: LGH
Yep, Mr. Mottershead phoned me today as well. At the moment just the general questions about postcode coverage and how much we charge for the various appliances etc.
I mentioned to Ken earlier that apart from MFI they are also the main underwriters for Whirlpool, let’s see what happens eh 😉

I think in some cases they are actually asking for you’re own business paperwork and profit and loss accounts.
Sod that !

Re: indesit module componant suppliers
If you really want to go down the route of replacing just the triac, RS components sell them. Follow the rather ridiculously huge url link below. About 20p each I think.
