Re: Hotpoint Condenser TDC30P
martin ….my dodgy diagnosis as you call it, has cured many of these faults…drainging out the back will not resett the float arm…been their done it…remember i worked for comet and seen this and many other no heat probs on all gda dryers apps..their is an intresting tech bullitin doing the rounds with reguards to failing tocs on thesr models.. but i susspect a bit to dodgy for the UKW I T purests.
Re: Hotpoint Condenser TDC30P
take of the r h side panel of dryer and check the float chamber microswitch…..which sits over the otherside of the motor….shine a torch in and you can just see it….also you will need to manouver a long screwdriver past the motor to push the microswitch float arm back down……cause of this fault…. when waterbottle gets full the floatswitch activates cutsout heater and puts light on at front of dryer….customer emptys the bottle but float switch gets stuck…remedy simply push float arm back down…….fault may re-occur but now you know
FB ur local freindly evil BG eng
Re: indesit wg1034 tp g
ive had to change the timer many of times with this prob…thats after trying motor/module…
these modules are relativly cheap though..Re: ariston dishwasher AFA 350
thanks K WATT for your balanced view.. i know am in a no win situ with some UKW independants,(
but am prepared to contribute where i can, i like reading the many articles on the site.. can i restate that i once was an independant and know whats its like..i threw in the towel due to economic trends, and the loss of my father who worked for me…
ive worked multibrand for many years and manage to adapt to the ever changing repairs challenges… ie mechanical to mecatronic etc ,, and needless to say i have gatherd an lot of info on the way…i dont mind helping out if i can…even when the door wants to swing one way..ALEX YER STILL ON MA CHRISTMAS CARD LIST, U SOUND LIKE A GOOD BLOKE a bit picy on the grammar/spelling though…
Re: ariston dishwasher AFA 350
remember the door swings both ways….dyson manuals,fault codes…ring any bells…diplomat E2 ?…, ARISTON FAULT IS FOR A PERSONAL FRIEND WHO IS SLOGGING IT OUT AS AN INDEPENDANT..
P.S YES I AM COMMITED TO HELPING WHERE I CAN REGUARDLESS OF WHO I WORK FOR. SORRY FOR SHOUTING BUT THE CAPS LOCK IS ON AND CANT BE RSD TAKING IT OF…PPS ALEX I THINK YER TALKING P…S..H …
U DONT REPAIR WHEN U DONT HAVE FULL MANUFACTURERS BACK UP HA HA HA …I TAKE IT YOU DONT DO MUCH BUISNESS THEN…..
U GUYS CRACK ME UP
if they cant achieve bonus they must be in rural areas , or are not thinking/working smarter ………..what about all the big football clubs they attract all the young talent to, dont they
there also a pressure switch in the sump area which might need cleaned…. not a fault that the user can fix.am afraid…
as far as i know the alarm side has not been performing and has recently been put under the esd umbrella, which will efect esd rather than enhance it…electrical side of things is as u said and more…as far as am led to believe and this is my educated quess that part p has been taken care..and i think part p is when u alter or add to an existing circuit which b/g doesnt get involved in..dont hold me that because it is only my understanding of it… but i will find out…also i red somewhere on UKW that there were some concerns over part p and whitegoods…again my humble understanding is that it doesnt relate to anything inside the casing of an appliance…dont know about the cable though??..
staff…. my stories different i was working for comet and could not turn down the chance to join b/g…comet was a whole new education that no-one should be forced to suffer..its my understanding that a lot of engineers have been rescued from comet …with reguards to the independents all i know is from local knowledge and that the co,s involved made a bit of money..i dont know about the poaching side though,maybe u could tell me about that to help me understand the situ….cheers FB………yeh kwatt their are many bonus hunters and b/g are aware of that>> it wont be long b4 bonus thresh-hold … it used to be calls complete per day which was unrealistic as their backup at that time wasnt good> so they lowered bonus to 5 completes/pd, i kid u not their spares dept still have issues that any multibrand repairer has …but you can get 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the parts u req next day which isnt bad in anyones shoes..as a result engineers who have the luxury of tight areas can achieve very good bonus..and yes their are some who rip the p-sh which will end in tears..
exaple of bonus = if u work 3x saturdays and complete 30 jobs, and if ur over the bonus threshhold u will be entitled to 30 jobs @ £16 per job..bonus threshold will be met if u comp 25 jobs per wk, recalls have to be considered…if anybody thinks is this is unachievable then maybees its time to look for alterative work…there are nothing hidden here this is the facts..you dont get overtime on sat,but everything that u complete goes towards bonus ..so it up to u what calls u choose to rebook for saturdays….all above board it is the engineers choice to work sats for bonus…no one elses…so if ur a good engineer who knows their stuff you can make decent money.. a bit harder if ur rural…it can be done…
=Re: British Gas Homecare
sorry to every one but am not trying to wind anybody up…am just telling it from my own point of view , and my knowledge of employment…the rosey tinted glasses GC is 77….. they are fittn ok just now but like everything in life ” its what u make it”….am not intrested in a slaggn match wi anybody , if your intrested in anything relating to ?? ask + if i can answer it i will….this forum seems to be trader heavy and maybee its time for UKW to hear more points of view from more sources within the industry…..you all seem fairly level headed smart bunch and the door swings both..
ps b/g are currently setting up whitegoods trainging schools and will be seekn apprentices nationwide as the realise this is the way forward….
age groups to be anything from 16 -up.. this will hopefully help the engineer retetion in the independant sectorRe: British Gas Homecare
ooh a hornets nest what…..am afraid its the nature of the beast….if you got the power use it…as i said earlier iwas in buis 4 15 years been their done etc.this bubble were talking about wii get very very large .. as suppose the independant gas traders thought the same….but how many poor plumbers/gas fitters do you know whether the a trader or employed… i think the problems that this industry has is the low price of middle market whitegoods that almost wipe out any repair the nears the £100 mark..maybee its time to evaluate the way we trade and adopt copy -cat buisness awareness…RE BONUS/WAGES — TO ACHIEVE BONUS YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE 27.5 JOBS PER WEEK OVER A 4WK CYCLE>> 110 PER MONTH MINUS TEAM MEETING ETC AND THAT LEVELS OUT ABOUT 90 TO 100 MOST MONTHS..ITS DOESNT TAKE A GENIUS TO WORK OUT YOU CAN MAKE DECENT MONEY IF YOU ARE PREPARED TO WORK SMARTER/ OR HARDER WHICHEVVER YOU PREFER, EVEN IF YOUR FI YORKSHIRE…
[color=red]PS i dont make the bonus threshold…b/g does 27.5 per week complete >> could it be your are trying to fudge the goods rates of pay that you can achieve at brittish gas to justify yourself …alex[/color]Re: British Gas Homecare
yeh theirs a lot to be said about working 4 urself… but what put the biggest smle on my face was paid hols… i was like a chessire cat…in a way i do miss selfempolyment, but i dont miss the stress ie mon-fri no customers…sat-sun loads of and all that
I TAKE MA HAT OF TO USE GUYS WHO ARE OUT THEIR DOING UR BIT FOR QUEEN AND C……, ive been their done it etc , lifes is a bitch we all know that… get over it make a wee bit dosh take care of the family……..what else do yi wantRe: British Gas Homecare
I KNOW MATE …….. IF ONLY.. that was the time that they retrained their gas engineers to repair whitegoods…hehehaha.
but on a serios note they have came a long way in 2 years, and have systematicaly headhunted, and tried to avoid using contractors which i guess is a bone of contention@ UKW..> but i ran my own buis for 15 years and only threw the towel inn .. due to the nice people from HM CUSTOMS AND EXISE…so dont think i dont know hard it is to run a buis ..because i do and to behonest…… i wouldnt thankyou for it now…….
