Re: Help New Baby!
b&q are the cheapest b&*t@rds out there atm, but get it from an inde, itll be a few quid more but they will almost always certainly help you out when you get an issue which is simple over the phone, but would cost you a £69 quid call out from serviceforce… 🙂
Re: beko wm5120 – 1st wash and just stuck in program
my bad its a wma520s – 2008 model, not the later wm5120s replacement.
i fitted it last night, was an urgent job, plumbing fine, and water to solenoids. waste fine too, now got a loan machine in there working away fine as far as im aware.
Ive been as thorough as you can be with a just-out-the-box machine at customers house. more info to boot tho.
did a wet and empty fill drain and spin to test before i left. was fine, with water going thru soap disp.
anyway checked it out today no obv issues, but soap disp is bone dry with soap powder still there, yet the wash load inside is soaked, and no water in drum. its like its aborted before it got past the first minute
when i turned it on it was stuck in program and wouldnt respond to a pcb [rpg cancel. it would just light up leds and then the start pause would flash. turned it off and unplugged, went for a delayed sunday lunch came back hour later and plugged in, and sett to spin prog and all it would do is pump, pause, pump, pause, repeat indefinitely. really odd. had a new wme8227 with same sol valve so replaced that and still same, so checked p/s and that doesnt seem to operate under pressure as positively like the normal hp/indesit ones, so wondered if its that thats gone up the creeek, but im not sure cos if its like an analogic zanussi type then that would explain why it didnt operate ok…
have i lost you yet???[/u]

could not have said it better myself. in fact id almost certainly would not have. harrods is a really bad example. a shop that sells products at an inflated markup due to their clientelles willingness to spash cash, is not an example i would use – harry enfield actually stated in an interview his “i saw you coming” sketch was based on being served by staff in exclusive shops around the london area, “these days its just like going round harrods they will sell you any old junk if they think they can make at least a 500{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} margin”
sometimes crap is the only thing customers will buy because they are forced to through price. you cant blame retailers selling it because thats all that can be afforded to buy it, cos if you dont sell it to them then they will go elsewhere cos someone else will… but sometimes crap gets sold because its an easy way of making a fast buck.
my only question to leeb would be, if his life depended on not going out to a baumatic within its 2yr labour / 5 yr parts only warranty, would he risk signing up to that??? because that is what you do with your own business every day with every item you sell.
me wonders if all that can be said has been said – in which case this should probably be a thread lock by now ??
Re: bosch wfg2420gb/11 options for alternative cold fill val
it seems to have worked, as i havent heard anything so far this weekend… terminals seem to tie up but have had to have it fitted upside down, seems the orientation is the main differential as they share same specs on the coils.
Re: Hotpoint F/F FFA52P didn’t restart after defrost
im with don, h/p rfa52 and bosch kgv28, both are stalwarts of the family sized 55 range. rfa has larger freezer tho, and h/p bins arent as brittle when frozen as the bosch ones, not to mention fact her old shelves and bins from the ffa would be useful spares.
beko cda 554 is the other option, but its got wire shelves.
avoid the zanussi, its chinesey, and basically a fridgemaster. with same cheapy low quality internal mouldings and plastic trays.
PS every ffa52 weve sold, if the icecream is kept in the top half of the freezer, it never seems to stay frozen enough, plus if the doors have been rehinged/reversed, it also causes issues from day one if the freezer door doesnt get perfectly aligned…
Re: Baumatic appliances
nigel, that looks very much like the part i eventually came up with, but neither connect or baumatic could confirm it would be the right part, and at £50 quid trade, i wasnt willing to risk the 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} restocking fee.
any ideas as to why baumatic couldnt provide the right info, or am i being too nice about the girl on the end of the phone, who i guess, could have been bloody thick (but didnt come across as that)
Re: Vacuum Cleaner Fires Now!
i might be wrong, but arent some of the current bagless m/r vacs and hoover vacs coming out of the same factory?
yes it looks very dodgy
id like to see this in court, independantly verified 🙂
clearly look like your average argos chav
what kind of sofa does she have that would have gone up in fire, i thought they all had to be fire retardant since like the early 1990s
loverly concrete garden, very child friendly. looks more like a garage forecourt/car park…
maybe she sucked up a petrol spillage???
Re: Hotpoint F/F FFA52P didn’t restart after defrost
got a cust i reffered to hp with one of these, has had new internals, revised board, and since out of warranty a “defrost heater mod kit”, at a labour cost of £145 quid. just had new kitchen fitted so been switched off for 72 hrs and fridge failing has re-ocurred. weve stopped selling this model as they are so shoddy and even hotpoint dont seem to know how to fix them even when you pay them… AVOID!
Edit PS hotdog i dont htink its just the boards. i cant see how they can just fail, without other more serious issues leading it to happen! A sort of cause and effect issue… pcbs are relatively static components and only burn out due to external factors i.e dampness or other components malfunctioning

it cant do that its a selector not a timer, it can only flash up a “cycle end” led once its finished.

Re: Whirlpool AWOE8558 washer display fault.
barring corruption, my experience of pcb washers is that it wil replicate the fault all the time (on same program). intermittent failures, on same prog will be down to variables. not sure i/lock is the reason unless pecker is worn, which is unlikely on 18mth old machine
Re: Hotpoint TVF770P
whisky6 should have his post and other relevant info towards current h/p dryers stickied 🙂
