Re: Approved Electrical Connections
Exactly martin, i have always in my working life just tried to fix things as safely and correctly as i can, with the minimum of fuss for the customer.
Now that squadman has explained the sutuation more fully, if it was me on the job and on pulling the machine out and discovering the wiring bodge and the customer seeing the bodge i would have said to the customer “that is a bodge and dangerous, i will put that right and put the machine back so you can get it fixed under warranty” that way i would have made safe the connection, the customer would have the knowledge not to buy from that company again, and the customer would be pleased that they could call the manufacturer for the repair without fear of them declining to do so because of the wiring bodge!
Thats just me, 32 years of experience and just my way of doing things.

It must be the new way of doing things Martin, on these forums i have read how engineers steal customers items out the filters of washing machines, who can be in the kitchen when the repair takes place, it seems customers are an inconvenience to some engineers!

All that needed to be done was put a extension socket on the end of the wire and a new plug top on the appliance lead and this customer would have got her warranty repair, why oh why squadman didnt do this on his visit we will never know, maybe he just wanted to cause the maximum inconvenience to his customer.

Or the fact the capacitor is sited to near the duct, which would have heat and moisture

http://www.kitchenkitsw.comRe: Zanusi WD 1012. 25years old . Bearing problem?
What if it is just the bearings that need replacing Lotusray? You would be wrong and Martin would be right!
I did my mothers bearings on a zanussi. Cant remember the model but it was the drop down door model. She bought that in 1981 and i repaced bearings in 2007, just the bearings, however it took 2 hours to do, ……….. Only because i had my tea during the repair, mothers eh!

I dissagree with you, there is a lot of customers that do care about quality and lifespan and where there products come from, manufacturers such as Liebherr, Miele, Bosch, Neff and siemens to name a few run very successful business’s from making quality products, so your statement is very wrong.
And i know that even these manufacturers have problems, the issue here is how Beko reacted to these problems, in respect to their gas cookers they knew back in 2008 there was a problem.Also isnt it strange how Belling never got mentioned, nearly all their cookers were made by Beko at one point, when this problem came up they shifted production back to liverpool, pretty much got away without any bad publicity!

May be so, but next year they will drop their payment rates to recover this extra cost.

I dont feel sorry for beko at all, this fire hazzard of a tumble dryer is because of a design fault, its a well known mod that is being done.
I dont sell beko thank god anymore.
