    Re: another joke.

    Whilst watching Top of the Pops you come out with comments like “Who are they?”, “Where’s the tune in that?” or “What the f— was that all about?”

    Also you find your favourite music in the bargain bucket at HMV

    Re: Tricty bendix AW850W washer – Strange fault

    Wasnt aware the aw850 did this but if its got an electronic programmer in it then its probably normal – the Zanussi’s do it so presumably the trictitty bendix will do the same, ie moves off the programme mark straight away, heating done at the same point regardless of programme selected but will heat to whatever temperature you first selected.

    Re: Zanussi DWS 949

    Is the top arm plastic or metal, the early ones came with metal top arms & were prone to not turning so they changed ’em to plastic with a wider grommet on the feed pipe connector at the back of the basket normally on these it just causes poor wash results in top basket never came across any that overheated beacause of it. Still reckon its worth a temperature test, if it heats much above 70c then its probably a door stat, try pressing the 55c option button also. Hope this lot helps.

    Could be the little stat underneath screwed to the tub, or possibly heater failing to earth as it heats up, check with a thermometer to see if it reaches 65C.

    Ok here goes:

    1. Defrost cycle is either every 8 or 16 hours & lasts 20 minutes approx.

    2. From the choice of the two i’d go for drain element, sounds like the unit is defrosting regularly for water / ice to form in the bottom which suggests the timer, main defrost element & stats are all ok. However have a look above the drip tray on the compressor, sometimes theres a small grey rubber valve fitted to the outlet of the drain tube and this can get blocked.

    3. The folks here should be able to supply you with what you need.

    Are you sure that model no. is correct ? – maybe zf62/23ff ???

    Re: hardest thing you to do

    It’s been flippin’ hot down y’ere in farmboy land & this morning i had to go to one of those houses you dread when it’s hot – the kind of area where the pigeons fly upside down ‘cos theres b*gger all worth crapping on.

    When I pulled up outside the place the grass of the front lawn was up to the lounge window & the rather large lady of the house answered the door & led me to the kitchen – no flooring, flys buzzing around, junk everywhere and that strange sticky sensation as you walked across the floor. Then I was hit by the stench of B O, turned around and there was the daughter – looked like the lovechild of pavarotti & bella emberg – she was big, and she stank!

    The problem turned out to be that they were putting salt in the soap dispenser so thankfully i wasnt there for too long, just thankful I called early before it got really hot in there, urrgghhh…

    Re: another joke.

    Two couples were playing cards one evening.
    John accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down
    under the table to pick them up, he noticed Bill’s wife Sue wasn’t wearing any underwear under her dress. Shocked by this, John upon trying to sit back up again, hit his head on the table and emerged red-faced.

    Later, John went to the kitchen to get some refreshments. Bill’s wife followed and asked, “Did you see anything that you liked under there?” Surprised by her boldness, John courageously admitted that, well indeed he did. She said, ” Well, you can have it but it will cost you £500.” After taking a minute or two to assess the financial and moral costs of this offer, John confirms that he is interested. She tells him that since her husband Bill works Friday afternoons and John doesn’t, John should be at her house around 2 p.m. Friday afternoon.

    When Friday rolled around, John showed up at Bill’s house at 2p.m. sharp and after paying Sue the agreed sum of £500 they went to the bedroom and closed their transaction, as agreed. John quickly dressed and left.

    As usual, Bill came home from work at 6 p.m. and upon entering the house, asked his wife abruptly. “Did John come by the house this afternoon?” With a lump in her throat Sue answered “Why yes, he did stop by for a few minutes this afternoon.” Her heart nearly skipped a beat when her husband curtly asked, “And did he give you £500?” In terror she assumed that somehow he had found out and after mustering her best poker face, replied, “Well, yes, in fact he did give me £500”.

    Bill, with a satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by saying, “Good, I was hoping he did. John came by the office this morning and borrowed £500 from me. He promised me he’d stop by our house this afternoon on his way home and pay me back.”

    If its trying to start but cutting out after 3-4 seconds then its most likely the compressor has seized – not cheap.

    Re: Zanussi Jetsystem 1000

    Could be motor fault, could be main module – probably best to get an engineer to check as both are quite expensive items, have a look at repairs@ to see if theres someone in your area.

    Re: Zanussi WDI 9091

    When we used to get one of these models with the dryer conveyor blocked up we would try anything to avoid taking the tub out. 2 most successful methods:

    1: pour in descaler
    2: swap the hoses around on the double valve making sure theyre well fastened then select a wash program, the sudden blast of mains water pressure through the converyor was sometimes enough to clear it.

    XC – extra capacity, means its can take a bigger load (think it’s 6kg rather than the usual 4.5)

    I did kinda use no.9 once, sort of slipped out when no one was around, customer then walked back in the room “god – that water stinks in there, doesnt it” she said. I just smiled & nodded.
