    Re: Creda T630CW condenser dryer blowing house fuse

    WOW!!! whats going on with all these condensors all of a sudden!?! i know its wet…but hey!

    first point of call is checking for signs of water in the base and then behind the heater cover – plug out to be safe before unscrewing anything!!!

    also check for tripping with as little other electrical goods being run at the same time. and testing td in another socket, and testing another high wattage (3kw fastboil kettle for instance) appliance in the t/d socket!

    couldnt get on with hpt belt tool.

    so i modified it. with an old bike seat post tube. now much more leverage. maybe i should have modified myself tho and grown some muscles?!?


    ps jackster check ur front bearing, if its has the metal lip & felt support worn down to next to nothing, and has caused the drum to jam and therefore belt to snap, its a lot of hassle to sort out

    good news is still my labour intesive slight-bodge (original parts no longer supplied) repair seems to be working fine (touch wood) but i spent 2 hours in the work shop polishing the scrapes out of the inside of the drum with w&d, brillo, and polish… never again!

    Re: Please Help – Select 610 by diplomat

    also unless you can find the model number on the manual, you will probably have to get the oven slid out of the housing, as i havent come across a diplomat where theres one in the door recess (might just be my bad luck tho). good news is theres usually a label slapped on each side and the top, so you shouldnt need to pull it out too far. scribble all the number down if its not obvious which ones are the model and serial no.!

    isolate electricity to the oven first (should have a cooker switch on the wall) and have at least one extra pair of hands who are reasonably strong and no back problems to aid you 😀

    Re: elux esi6100w

    was a corrupted pcb. *wince* but still cheaper than a rep d/w

    also noticed it had a different s/w code stamped on the board case – only concern now is that it seems to get awfully hot, almost uncomfortably if you touch the mastic – feels a lot hotter than what other 65 degree progs feel like on other machines… have they changed some of the wash cycle settings?

    we have a naughty book 😀

    names address and known phone numbers.

    fed up with late payers, absentees, and customers who complain you didnt fix the machine because something else (unrelated) went wrong 3 months later with the pile of 😯 they bought from currys…

    Re: hoover washers from coop stores.

    yes, thats what i thought, but bless her, she could not find any numbers other than 1200 on it… theres only so much you can get a customer to do over the phone before they get agitated!

    of more interest to me was if the coop had been supplying graded washing machines to the g/p ??

    if so that would explain the ridiculous prices they had on some of their w/m in my local branch a couple of years ago. just i dont ever recall reading on the price label that they were graded…
