Lawrence wrote:any news yet Dave
Sadly, no. I do have a reminder in Outlook that keeps popping up so I will chase things up when it calms down a bit and I have more time.
BTW, I see from you’re new picture you have had a haircut recently 😉

Yes I know that feeling 😥

Let us know how long they take, I am fed up with companies that advertise their email address as a contact but can’t be bothered to reply, if they even read them in the first place of course 😉

Re: SALTON SPARES
Mark, you could try directly contacting Pifco/Salton here http://www.saltoneurope.com/contact/contact.html As If I remember these plates even though they look pretty much like a standard sealed plate, the wattage and connections are different.
May Help

Re: Another Indesit timer clicking round
Martin wrote:Please can I have an e-mail of the Indesit “Flash Codes?”
Martin, the fault codes are listed in this forum under “known error codes”. here http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/postt40.html I guess that is what you mean by flash codes anyway.

I would say so, given the phone calls I get for Indesit washing machine unexplained errors. Am I out on a limb here by thinking that some manufacturers are damaging their resales by selling sh*te 😀

No problem James, so anyone in Southampton would like to help 😀
BTW, I am only assuming but the C of E pays less than white goods service engineers then 😆

Yes, definitely Merrymaid(e). I have seen a couple but this is an ancient commercial thing.

Thanks Mark, I’ll give them a bell on Monday.

Re: Indesit we16 Fault
James, F07 is a heating relay circuit problem, which probably means a failed electronic module 🙁
It may be worth calling an engineer to verify this though. If you need one post you’re postcode here and someone on the site will doubtless be able to assist further with a service call.
Hope that may be of some help.

Re: Servis M3016A (Caress 1600)
Mark, it is most likely a “computer” fault. The electronic modules on Servis washers have a fairly high failure rate, the module for your’s is around the £120 mark, plus labour if you were to have it reapired.
As you’re wife never liked it I would suggest you put that money towards a new machine, but this time go for a better quality product. I don’t mean that to sound condescending, but you get what you pay for to some extent with appliances, as you have learned.
Regards.
Dave.
Re: this is one for all service managers and dasa
It is an idea that has been booted around many times, and one that most responsible engineers, managers, company owners and dasa would fully support given the resources.
Unfortunately as Ken says, the budgets set aside by the manufacturers for service would not support it, add to that the low value of the appliances and how the customer percieves the value of service given those low prices. In the present climate it simply will not happen.
Another point on this is that electrical appliances rarely cause serious injury or death as gas does and has, so Government will not pass legislation as they have done with the gas industry and Corgi. Even that is not foolproof, we all know that non-registered engineers carry out gas repairs, so even in a regulated industry as gas is, the public are not afraid to use the “cheap” option, putting themsleves, their property and and neighbouring properties at risk.
It is a sad fact that consumerism in this country has devalued this industry, and many others as well, and who is guilty of causing this, we all are to an extent.
Dave.
