Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers
Looking at the photographs in that article I would have refused to do any kind of repair to that dryer due to the way it has been vented.
Where does the vent go to after it passes through the ceiling?Steve
Re: Payments – First4Service
I have some invoices now more than 30 days and unpaid and others more than a week and not yet approved.
I have emailed Jason but have had no reply.
At these rates I am not prepared to wait for payment and will not be taking on any more jobs until payments are back on schedule.
What has also aroused my suspicions is that I had no jobs from them for three months and then 8 jobs in quick succession which makes me think that someone else has dropped them for some reason.Steve
Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers
They were apparently doing it right up to the end of March 2004 as the old units (of which I still see a few) neither self combust nor fall apart after being repaired so is anyone being held accountable for this debacle?
I am reluctant to attempt any repairs to these dryers as I do not wish to be held responsible for subsequent events.
Whirlpool/Indesit/Hotpoint and/or their lawyers could attempt to lay off any blame for failure on previous repairs.
Best advice is to get rid!

Or totally collapse three weeks later and the repairer is held liable for the recall!

Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers
Not seen the spec for the modification yet but if a stud/rivet thingy is fitted to the back of the drum to sweep away fluff build up what will happen when the rear bearing collapses and starts chewing out the rear seal?
Have they beefed up the rear bearing too?

Re: Argos advert
Here it is £159.99.

I installed a top of the range Beko integrated dishwasher for a customer yesterday which was cheaper than the repair for the existing Whirlpool (No surprises).£219.00 including delivery

Re: Product Recalls
Pause the opening shot and check out the burning tumble dryer.
It looks suspiciously like the ISE CD60W which currently resides in my laundry room.
I don’t remember there being a recall on these.

Re: Private Label Rinse Aid/Detergent
I always use the Aldi products which work fine.
Having said that though I don’t have expensive crocks to ruin so can’t justify using the branded stuff which may or may not be kinder on the glaze.

I forgot to mention that Howdens also give out free lollipops.

Makro do free tea and coffee and it is very good.
I use it as a free toilet stop and coffee break.Steve
I forgot to mention Howdens Joinery where the coffee is not so good but you get free biscuits too!
