    Re: SMEG A1/2 strange fault?

    check the clock pcb for dry joints or, as said the wiring block at the rear of the hob.

    Re: Askoll pump with TOC

    Good question Martin and one no one seems to know. I would take a guess at one shot. Tried to set one off once, (dont ask why!)held it in a vice for about 3 hours and the thing was barely warm.

    Assuming its a Hotpoint BF72, its a Smeg underneath and you already need a new pcb and dispenser so it will be a £200+ job all done. Usual leak points on those is where the air break joins the water softner in the rh side panel.

    Take all the arms off and clean out any hard bits inside that may block the jets in them. Shake the bits out the large hole in the centre.

    Thats a E3 fault, machine is unable to drain. Probably a blocked drain pump. Its an absolute nightmare to get to it and I would advise a sevice call from someone who knows about these machines. Try the repairs@ service below. All you can check yourself is that the drain hose is not squashed behind the machine(not likeley unless the machine has been moved recently) or the drain outlet hose that fits onto your plumbing under your sink (or wherever) is not blocked.

    Use the Search feature John, its been asked a million times! Usually blockages in either the air break or the tube that leads into the back of the sump. Best solution is side panel off, air break out and either replaced or the best job you can do of cleaning it.

    Had a bad patch a few months back but all is stable right now. BACS payment comes ages after the payment advice letter but just put up with that as we still get paid quicker than any other WP. Rejections now few but it depends on wording on invoice. Spares pretty good still. on the whole ok for now. We are getting a high number of non authorised repairs over £150 but we still get paid so I am not too bothered about that. Could do with a rate increase though.

    I guess the genuine cowboy wouldnt want to leave his contact details in any way shape or form so the customer cannot call him back when it floods the first time she uses it after letting the sealant dry for 24 hours:lol:

    There is nothing to suggest in this thread that the stickers concerned are anything but small, profesional stickers. In my case they are always under doors or on the inner rims. This itself prompted a complaint once when a customer could not open the door to get our phone number off and, after repair, requested one for the front.
    On occasions where there has not been a suitable place for a sticker, I sometimes offer one to the customer to stick it where they want to. They normally hurriedly stick it on wonky and right on the front in a most unprofessional manner.
    come on someone back me up here, i know if most of you want repeat business you always use stickers. (Dont expect customer loyalty no matter how good a job and how fairly priced you are if they cannot get your phone number in a hurry on Monday morning when the washing machine wont start. That will be the moment the cowboy with the classifed add stating no call out charge will get the job.)
    Can you buy a new car without the dealers sticker in the back window and on the number plate?
    In any case, it is common practice to stick a test label on with test results written on to and this should also contain logo and phone number.
