Re: new FEW 12
Isn’t there enough ammunition in this thread and others for a front page story about this appalling waste of resources and also the way in which appliance manufacturers are taking the P155 out of joe public.
Shouldn’t a new Indes*it or Hotperloni washer carry a public warning that it cannot be repaired.
Does Which magazine read these forums?
Where are friends of the earth?
Has anybody told John Prescott? 👿
But seriously I’m sure that the newspapers could make a headline out of it on a quiet news day.
Or do we just carry on pi**ing into the wind?Steve.

Re: Your worst job.
Customer answers the door and the air inside is so bad you could taste it.
Follow the customer through the living room (feet sticking to the carpets)
until we reach the kitchen,all the while the smell is getting stronger.
Bare concrete floor,dog cr4p or kid cr4p all over the floor,food leftovers everywhere.
Cat on top of the cooker with it’s head in a pan of something eating it.
Kitchen sink full of dishes and water with fat set solid on top.
Dog in back yard wants my blood so can’t open the door for air.
Then there was the washing machine.
Next to the cooker,covered in grease full of brown water to the top of the door and a load of dirty nappies.
Customer says “It wont spin,been like that a week” 😯 😯 😯
At this point I can feel my breakfast talking to me and I make a dash for the front door trying not to breathe in the process and closely followed by the customer.
How sweet the air outside tasted.
What about the washer says the customer it’s still under guarantee!
Call us again when you’ve cleaned the mess up says I and went home to get changed
We never got the call!I suppose I could write a book,but then so could we all

Re: Funny Customer Names !
Asked a customer for his name last week and he replied Guess!
That’s his name Mr Guess 🙂Steve
Re: ISE on ice?
Is that eight appliances in one week ❓
We’ve done six in total.
Four bought without even seeing the machine, all but one took the full five year option.
Any further news on the van stocks?

Hi Swede
Fault code F8 is water level failure and is often due to the water in the appliance draining out due to syphoning caused by the drain hose end being lower than the water level in the machine.
If F8 is being caused by component failure then a visit by a suitably qualified engineer would be your next move.Steve
Re: Whirlpool ADP 5967
Hi Swede
Don’t want to state the obvious but you said transport damage in your first post.
If you have transported your appliance and it now doesn’t work you should check that it drains freely.
Look at the drain outlet that you have connected your appliance to and make sure that it actually has a hole in it.
You wouldn’t believe how many calls I get to new appliances that don’t work because the drain connection has not been unblockedGood luck

Re: Hotpoint DWF33P/41
Thanks for the input guys.I’m giving this one up to Hotpoint.
Unless they can’t turn out for two weeks and my higher quote becomes more attractive 😉Steve
Re: UK Whitegoods Meeting – Feb 06
Just checked the photo gallery and I can’t believe how I could be out of shot on so many photos.
Next time I’m gonna wear a daft hat! 😆Steve
Re: Whirlpool American style Top Loader
All gear changes are done by the motor speed & direction.
If you lift the lid at any stage during the spin/drain sequence this will cause the gearbox to advance and you will miss the fault.
Have a look at the drive cone and nut which secure the drum to the drive tube as it can come loose and the drum can drop and catch on the bottom of the wash tub & stop the spin.
Next stage is when the friction melts the tub bottom and you need to look at the economics of the job.Steve
Re: Whirlpool American style Top Loader
There are two kinds of gearbox on these machines.
Not so common is the neutral drain gearbox which as its name suggests drains the water out in neutral gear (no spin)
It requires the motor to stop and start again to throw it into gear and start spinning.
This is a timer function and if you have tried everything else then it could be this.
The neutral drain box is 4819 522 28008 which you can cross check against the model.Good luck

Re: Fairy Active Bursts
Nothing wrong with the cheap stuff IMO.Been using Lidl tabs for years now and apart from some cheap glassware going cloudy (which would have happened anyway with the premium stuff) no problems and you won’t find a cleaner machine and never had a cleaner or descaler put in it. 8)

Re: Fairy Active Bursts
The dishwasher we use is a Whirlpool ADG993 (1996 Model) which has always given good results.
I think the problem is that not enough rinseaid/fragrance is left at the end of the wash cycle.
We have the benefit of very hard water here so maybe one tab is not enough.
Two tabs a wash is a bit expensive so I will still be going back to the cheap stuff.
Speaking of cheap stuff I was in Nitto this week and saw some Fairy bursts but without the liquid bubble.
Is this another new product or an old one going cheap ❓Steve
