Re: 1607w rubber lip thing around door
Thanks Ken, that’s a great help. Can you give us the guidance on which way round it fits, though I can’t believe it’s other than black edge in towards the tub, and what sort of tape is used. There was no tape visible on the machine I attended this am, but then I didn’t know that the front had to come off as it was easy to fit without removing this.
Re: 1607w rubber lip thing around door
I guess we are going to need a definitive answer on this. Has anybody got a new one to look at? When I spoke to the customer he was pretty sure that I had fitted it correctly and I couldn’t see another way that it would fit. It also seemed to fit perfectly without feeling loose or incorrect. It would be strange if it fitted both ways round surely!
Re: 1607w rubber lip thing around door
Just done one of these and it was dead easy, no dismantling whatsoever. This is the information I would have liked before going out on this job:-
1/.The black part of the seal is in towards the tub.
2/.The edge that looks like a lip-seal fits around the inside of the front panel opening. It just flops on but is surprisingly solid when completed. No stretching, nothing. Just flops on.
3/. You could orientate the seal with the join at the top, but this is only cosmetic.
4/. That’s it. Takes all of a minute to do. 😀Re: The Fault Code Guide
I can’t get over how brilliant this is.
When I first left school I was apprenticed to the GPO and on my first day I met up with a gang who’s job it was, to fit dials to all existing phones in the Worthing area, ready for some three years later, when the new automatic telephone exchange came on-line.
Now here we are today, and I can read the meaning of washing machine fault codes on my phone.
Progress or what? 😀
Re: rapport
Hi Ken,
I hope that you have fully recovered from the Coventry weekend. Well done, by the way, it was a brilliantly executed conference, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.Rapport: I have spent most of today on this and have a few observations that may interest you. Firstly, Google Chrome wont download the files. It just gets slower and slower before reporting “interrupted” and crashing. ( I tried this a number of times and the download gets bigger and bigger each time before crashing, I got up to 132MB).
Secondly, now that I have downloaded the files (via ‘Firefox’) and extracted them first to my ‘H’ Drive and then when that didn’t work to my ‘C’ Drive; on opening “localhost” in ‘Firefox’, I get the stock system page ok but it reports “Error 404”
‘The system is unable to find the requested action “install”‘.I have un-installed and re-installed a number of times, but can’t get beyond this point.

Re: Oldest working washer/dryer in the UK???
Brilliant. Just as an aside, I am a volunteer at our local museum and we keep our milk fresh in a 1935 beehive fridge that works just fine.
Re: Feb 2012 Meeting – WTA
Hi Ken, Hope you are feeling better by now.
I am happy to register our interest via the form on WTA website. Will there be any discount available on the hotel costs, for WTA members?
DickRe: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
Glad I’m not the only one with this pet hate.
As for call diversion:- my phone always rang when I’d just started washing my hands; when driving and I’d forgotten to put it in the hands-free cradle; when in dentist, hair-dresser, doctor etc. I’ve given that up now and consoled myself with the belief that the calls I’ve missed weren’t worth having anyway.
It’s just those who go to the trouble of leaving a message and still can’t wait a few minutes until I can call them back!
Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
Ok, time for my pet hate.
Why do customers leave a message on my answer machine asking me to call them, then when I do, say”Oh, I’ve already got someone else”.
Never once in twenty eight years of trading has anybody, who’s left a message and subsequently found somebody else, phoned me back to say thanks but no need to waste your time and money calling me back.
And, like other respondents, I also walk away when confronted with “My husband has taken it apart for you”. Once bitten twice shy. I once spent all morning on a w/m that had the lid off but, “Definitely nothing has been touched” turned into two wires on the programmer reversed. Then, at payment time, confronted with “You’re the expert you should have known”.
Lies, damned lies and customers.
Re: awct12L….weight block screws
Hi,
If it’s of any help to you, when I had the same problem I asked for replacement screws which were supplied no problem. The strange plastic inserts that fit into the blocks were supplied with the blocks automatically.
But beware, when I finally stripped out the broken bits of concrete the lugs moulded into the front of the tub were quite badly damaged, (one screw was broken off short with precious little to get hold of), luckily I got away with it but it was close to needing a new tub section, which would have been a lot more work.
Good luck
Dick
