    Re: Bush washing machines advertised in Argos

    thought as much…

    either way spares will be a nightmare.

    what i dont understand is where all the happy customers have come from for this to have so many positive customer reviews… 😯

    I couldnt find any reviews!

    PLUS

    the haier comes with neon lights in the drum

    its a “safe mode” in order to avoid damaging other components, if somehting becomes faulty it will basically shut down… until you fix i, and clear the error memory!

    Re: White Knight Tumble Dryer – No heat!

    theres only one way to know – unplug dryer and multimeter the element if you have the equipment.

    my supplier is stating the element should be £112 odd !?!?! but it doesn’t have a picture listed. if you are ging to test the element can you take a picture of the rear element and show us?

    if was the standard 1800w or 2500w whiteknight/whirlpool/bosch round element id say yes, as one ring tends to fail eventually. they can knock out the resettable thermal cut out permanently too though.

    but offhand, i do not have any experience of that model, that i can recall, im afraid.

    have had a blocked sump cause the 1*070 range to go into a kind of safe mode. where it stuck in pump cycle. even after you clear the obstruction it will stay like this. cynically i think its there so the cleverer diy customer gives up and calls zanussi out.

    once i cleared the sump of foreign (literally) coins, if you access diagnostics, run their component test all the way through, and alls ok, and exit it, it seems to clear the memory chip and alls well. well so far for the last 4 months…

    might be worth accessing diagnostics and seeing what error code is thrown up before assuming pcb failure…

    Re: Genuine parts

    might hate me for this but been very impressed with the electruepart spares from connect.

    95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the merloni pattern spares are identical to genuine, and most of the elements are as reliable, if not better than oem. ESPECIALLY whirlpool and bosch.

    thing is, we do so much buisness with them, the electruepart stock can sometimes cost more than the oem, or within a max of 2-5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the pattern price, so we tend to get the oem in for stock. one thing i have noticed is the electruepart bosch and h.p gaskets are definitely poorer quality than oem, but they are ideal if ur customer is looking to keep it going for only a year or 2… at a 2/3 the price…. because the machine is on its way out…

    don, envious of your sq. footage! its pretty much what we wanna achieve – i.e lots of stock per sq-m, but clearly laid out.

    also interested that you are operating the staggered angle layout of washers, so they arent just in a flat line. was contemplating it but feared it would eat up too much space, but bouyed with confidence now i know others are!

    Plus trading standards must (be the only ones who) love that you have those ugly energy stickers all over the sexy new machines…

    in particular the black and s/s models :D:D:D:D

    made a trip to gillmans the other day… business related of course, but yes, wow. talk about hooj…

    Re: About to change a belt on a CTD80

    check the rear bronze-colour bearing for wear too. theres almost certainly a reason why your belt went, and its not usually thru just w&t on the belt, especially when you have a jockey tensioning wheel. could well be the jockey wheel jamming, or the actual drum jamming at the front

    could quite easily be the out of balance control, but ull find it hard to check that unless customer tells you they had 2-3 small things in it…

    if thats definitely not the case (i.e full load) empty it & put onto a spin and see if it gets up to speed…

    any sound of crackling/electrical buzzing stop immediately as its failry feasible ull need to check your carbons as its prolly arcing from there.

    this *should*have the same motor as all the models ive been out to this last fortnight. http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=48505&highlight=
    if so, itll quite possible be a carbon hungry motor :s so check brushes before you blame the pcb… 5.5mm deep socket would be useful for that btw

    if theres plenty of carbon on BOTH, enter diagnostics… if the display stays up long enough…

    except some of the logixx f/s dishwashers, and exxcel upwards built in- both that have been recently delivered and fitted by moi are clearly stamped “made in germany”
