Re: Throw away job or what?

here we are in 2007 with tony blair trying to reduce our carbon foot print and the manufacturers have thrown quality out of the window because of a cost driven public who see money before reliability.
i see more 18 nmonth old mascines and scrap them than i ever did all this machinery has to be replaced and more carbon dioxide is produced in the manufacture

we need to promote ourselves as the green alternative.
Apart from when i eat sprouts i do not produce that much greenhouse gas

Re: Hotpoint twin tub

agree with above never had to replace mounts the reason for the out of balanc action is down to two possible causes

1 the drum is not accellerating fast enough to pass this vibration point can be stiff bearings or clutch shoes

2 bent shaft causing drum to hit sides

have had both faults over the years

Re: HOTPOINT BWD12

well it looks like i started someting of a slagging match but if they will build machines like this what do they expect

cut my teeth on early 1600 auto and 18 series built like tanks solid but they still had their faults. who remembers the power board and PMC on the 1600 series and if you switched the machine off in spin it could blow the electronics.

All new machines have to contend with the same problem they are in a blinkered market where price wins over build quaility

@indespoint

would like the number of the mod kit if you can find it now my customer has bought this rubbish i feel duty bound to try to help

many thanks

Re: bosch motors

ok thanks for the confusion i rechecked the bosch site motor is listed as 141876 but if you click on diag it gives 142369 as sub still no idea of difference might just get motor and see if armatures swop (or it might fit ???)

unless anyone else has any ideas

Re: Watercooled dryer!!??

had a few like this dryed out with hair dryer and ok

the only slight common theme is some of the clients operate dryer on half heat and with the lack of temp around fan causing condensation

thats my theory but am open to other ideas

Re: hotpoint wf340p

have already mentioned 5 year part warranty to customer she was worried that she had not registered the machine when new but lokking through the leaflets you could do it by post so i told her to say she sent it

most of the time i tell about 5 year warranty if they are going to sell s**t they deserve the comebacks

Re: Anyone heard of ESS Multi Assistance?

they pay up eventually

originally they quoted 2 months to get paid

took them 5 just got paid for job that was initially started last march

but took them 5 months to pay up from invoice date

got my hands burnt the first time i dealt with them this time built in a heathy profit to ease the problem

my advice is if you deal with them give them silly prices and if they accept then you have enough money to take on the hassle
