Re: Hoover HNWL 6136-80 N. 310008970687965
also check the wash temp selector isnt on cold = that quickens the 90* wash somewhat more than normal 🙂

avram grant finally made a right decision as manager of west ham, shame it was too late and therefore his last decision… 🙁
Re: BEKO D533 – Main oven not working
NB to all beko owners attempting self-fixes = always be weary of the concrete weights bolted to back panels of these, very nearly broke a finger when putting the back panel of a beko back on, and the screw jumped back out.
Re: Bosch bearing job in under 18 minutes! Pretty good.
yes, rubber ended mallet. and if only every customer who wanted new bearings called us before they had ground into the shaft, or snapped a spider leg life would be so much easier… 😛
PS why did he say to chisel off the tabs and then warn you not to damage the tabs a few mins later ?!?
Re: Which electric oven?
to be fair to all the brands, its par of the course for most elements these days. took out a 20 year old belling the other day, no real reason other than it was “old” and not in keeping with the new kitchen decor, and the analogue clock wouldnt let you use the timer properly, but most people use manual mode anyway, this cooker had been owned from new and never had a breakdown, other than a couple of new rubber door seals. they had specifically requested a belling induction cooker, and within a week, they are having belling out to (probably) do something with the main oven element, as it tripped out. the main fact is its consumerism that brings these issues to light. the manufacturers are under pressure from major retailers to build something a bit cheaper, or to produce something for the same price even though manufacturing costs have risen. this is blamed/justified by customers wanting lower prices. somewhere corners have to be cut, so the manufacturer goes to their component suppliers and tells them to build the part cheaper or they will buy the components cheaper from a rival supplier. there is a terminal point where you can build something so cheaply it doesnt even last a year, which is whereabouts the manufacturers draw their lines, playing a percentage game as to whether expected failure rates will be likely to be low enough that they wont be called out too often within their free guarantee period.
take the motor industry, in ’88 you could buy an audi for about £2500… these days you need to add an extra 0. consumers seem to be able to accept the way inflation and production costs have caused these prices to rise, yet consumers all too often wrongly assume or place appliances in the fast moving “technology” bracket, whereby they expect prices to continue to drop as their designs become obsolete. but the appliance designs havent changed much over the last 15 years, their only major revision has been moving from timer mechanism programs, to electronic pcb controls but most of the quality brands have been using these for over a decade anyway. fact is if you strip down say a 11 year old bosch maxx w/m, and a classixx bosch today, theres not a lot of difference in the overall design, though there will have been 4 or 5 generations of ranges between them. if you took a tv, radio, laptop or mobile phone from 11 years ago, and looked at what one can doe now, its rather different…
Re: Which electric oven?
in an objectionable way but non-disrespective way, the old stock hotpoints, bd52/bd62 etc, were one of our top sellers. indesits dont offer self clean catalytic liners unlike mid-topspec hotpoints, and had a few people “move down” from neffs/bosch to hotpoints. yes the build quality isnt as high, but the cookign results, according to the customers, are percieved to be better. no feedback on the new DH series etc tho?
gorenje are always worht a look too. 5 year warranties are well liked, but in reality avoid unbranded and baumatic stock, stick to zanussi/elux/aeg, hotpoint, neff/bosch or gorenje. personally dont rate smeg either.

Re: wt940 – solenoid only or whole dispensor???
exactly. really annoys me binning so much unnecessary waste. merloni should be had up for such an environmental crime. im replacing the dispenser 3-4 times every year at one trailer park caravan because of the cold spells. theyve paid almost double for the repairs to it than what they paid for the machine now.
one question, would i be able to use the rubber hose solenoids if i put a normal rubber twin feed dispenser draw on to it? or would the terminals have different moulds ???
Re: wt940 – solenoid only or whole dispensor???
the 35187 has the rubber connections to the disp doesnt it?
just wondered as on some of the fully solid plastic dispenser to valve models people have been saying theyve been able to get the valves separate… any chance of having a sticky post that lists models that use that valve? cheers
Re: Samsung the new network
if it makes you feel any better, our customers cant work out why they would want a bubble wash. ive tried to explain it and cant, and dont really get it myself. when i mention the price the unanimous response in so many words is “isnt that miele prices?!”
so no need to feel too upset, seems they have an ambition to build stuff the uk market dont really care about 😮
Re: Newbie
eric, all you need to do is take your spinner arm off the bottom and take the top basket out. take the mesh filters out too, and try that, and report back. ive come across this so often lately its stupid. theres obviously the other main possibility somethings stuck in the pump housing, or on these the wastes can get easily gunked up with grease if the waste is the tiniest bit pinched… to check pump, access via flimsy panel underneath machine. dont tip it upside down tho, just lie it on its back, assuming you have enough hose length. pretty simple machines to work on tbh. dont forget to plug out first, before diving inside the inner workings!!!
Re: Creda oven not heating up
vice, drift, & hammer should sort out a loose rivet, unless the collars dissapeared. 🙁
otherwise its new hinge time, might well be worth doing as its probably over ten years old now. theres a fair chance its lost some of its springyness by now
Re: Newbie
pinched hose? blocked spinner arms. havent rebuilt your kitchen lately have you?
also worth checking your filter for sawdust 😉
Re: whats going on connect…!?!?
cheers ken and stratford, guess the amazon parts are old stock then…? i know where ill be shopping for wp parts for a while 😉
however in the meantime have since found an ele4700 can be bastardized to fit nicely 🙂
Ps ken, id hate to think how much a thermostat is now… some were over 50 quid trade last year, which maketh on a 300{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} increase, £150… yeowch!
