Re: LG Washing machine

Re: where has all the work gone
barmy this week, but severeak unhappy customers “its not as big/shiny/fast” as you said it would be.
anyone got any way (apart from recording convos of customers) that will indemnify them of what was offered and accepted ???
Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
can u, my bolshy response would have been, is it within 2 years since purchase, (yes) well cos it is bosch should look at it f/o/c “but they wont” me: well then theres a reason, and thats cos youve been sold a dog of a machine. call us when your ready to pay £60 + parts…0
Re: Couldn’t quite make up my mind whether this should go in
but… but… but its only 99p! (plus shipping)
if it saves 99p its worth having, but it looks like just a box of flashing leds tho. hmmm.
Re: Parking Ticket
as in previous post, assuming aforementioned restrictions dont apply, id contest it, if you contest within 14 days, the penalty reduction fee discount is still sustained until they deem your cotest unsustainable, in which case, pay them the reduced rate asap!
Re: zanussi zsf 6066 heater
these are relatively simple to excahnge, but its a 50/50 likelyhood of it being the heater though. the electronic-type zanussi dishwasher pcbs love to fail. youd be best of checkign the heater first before ordering any parts. you can check continuity thru the heater with a multimeter but that wont check for low insulation resistance, which is a common issue with electrolux elements. however that said, low insulation faults tend to show up by interuppting the program, rather than allowing the machine to go thru to the end of the prog as normal…
PLUG OUT BEFORE DOING ANY TESTING, and with zanussis, its also worth turning the cold tap feed off too.Re: Cooker/Oven/Hob/Hood
exactly, bosch do the freestanding single oven cookers, but thats it.
as i said your looking at about £450-750 for similar quality, different spec level hotpoints/cannons, bellings/stoves, zanussis/electrolux or leisures. quality is pretty indiffernt between them, with HP/cannon timers fairly fragile, stoves bellign parts are expensive, and the build is a bit flimsy, and elux seem to be prone to random acts of glass shattering, or dodgy wiring up.
its jsut not in a manufacturers interests to build something that lasts a decent length of time (trouble free) because the retail price will be so sky high itll be too unattractive to be viable. thats why all the aforementioned brands are under a parent ownership, just like cars are now
Re: Parking Ticket
id contest it.
if theres no road markings, or no yellow crosshatches, or its not painted onto the road “bus stop” its contestable
Re: creda simplicity dryer tvr2
*EDIT* LHS when viewed from rear. oops my bad, its opposite side to the vent 😳
Re: White knight CL93 dead
ill get back to you on that one, only ever had to fit bearing kits/rear fans/caps and obligatory new doors to w.k’s
not sure whether they heat up if the motor isnt running because of the heat build up that would cook the stats if it wasnt at lest circulating?
besides, irrespectively, always have a test 4uf, 7uf and 8uf caps on board as there only about a quid trade.
Re: Hotpoint WDD960 Vibration/Buzz on Pump Out
yes because its after the 5 years has passed when the replacement machine offered is then based on the dead machines current market value 😀
Re: Cooker/Oven/Hob/Hood
firstly theres little out there that will last a long time i.e 10yrs + without any repair work, barring maybe specialist brands. even miele arent immune to faults which is why a lot of their kit is only warrantied for 2 or 5 yrs now.
You also need to work out how much of a professional result you want from your cooking, at the bottom end of the scale you have the ready meal eater who only needs it to heat food up, right through to trained chefs, and whereabouts you are in that scale will dictate what price point you should buy. there is absolutely no point getting a miele if all you do is a few pies, roasties, and pork chops, as the upkeep of it when something goes wrong costs an arm and a leg, yet, you could be a budding wannabe jamie oliver and feel liek youve wasted your money because the half price fan assisted indesit youve just bought wont be able to provide the right results you expect. just like buying a car, you dont buy a ferrari to do the school run for your 4 kids, because its totally inpractical. and because they need servicing every 6000 miles it costs you an arm and a leg. the only way you can really pay for reliability is by paying through the nose for extended warranties and service cover. its just not in the manufacturers interests nowadays to make something last over 10 years, fault free…
Single ovens can be bought from about £130 for the cheapest spec, right up to £1200.
60cm ceramic hobs are anywhere from £170 up to £700+
60cm induction hobs are from £250ish up to £1000+
60cm single oven cooker, will be poor quality as they are lawer end of the market(except bosch ones) so you need to look for a double+ceramic which could be from £320 up to £1000+
extractors vary from type to type, visor hoods are cheapest, and chimney the most common, the quality is less variable as most of the manufacturers outsource the products, so spec and quality is either low, or high, and the rest of the price variance is based on styling, and brand desirability. take a smeg hood for example. it will be of the better spec, so high extraction rate etc, but it will cost twice as much as say a luxair. even tho under the label and styling the motors could be identical with identical performance.
then you get onto integrated, canopy etc.
your best bet is to pick up a couple of kitchen appliance catalogues the sheds have, b&q and homebase do them (i have copies myself as price references) and take it with you when viewing a house, that way you ascertain what kinda level of kit is provided.
Re: Hotpoint WDD960 Vibration/Buzz on Pump Out
ah ok then, so thats 2 years including first years manufacturers warranty then 😉
beware of extended warranties though, they can turn into a big ripp off, as once they get you onto direct debit you tend not to check the creeping up of the premium for each subsequent year. plus, if it becomes a write off, they are well known for offering something of the equivalent market value, rather than a brand new identical spec machine.
