Re: Whirlpool ADG 722
Tis a fault code. Count the number of flashes, please and report back 8)

Continuous is anti-flood mode, i think.
If your going to investigate, unplug the machine first :zap:

Though I must say, this sounds blooming dangerous…

DONT TRY THIS AT HOME, OR ANYWHERE!

I’d recommend the Bosch too, or rather the Siemens version of it, with the 5 year guarantee. Then you don’t have to have anymore ‘palavas’ 😉
But first, I’d say…
Get an engineer to it! It sound fixable to me.
Re: Asko WM
Thank you! Think I’ll wait until the morning to ring.
Ps. Round here people call me Grahame jnr 😉

HA! The Siemens WD is now made in China. You could see the difference in quality straight away when they switched to the Chinese factory.
To quote the rep…
“Well, they just unblot the robots in the German factory, and move them to China.”
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ❗
Re: Performing Rights Society
PRS are a pain in the back-side!
I comprised with them. Everytime a customer walks into shop, or everytime the phone rings, the one person working in the building turns off the radio :rolls:

Indeed!
Every now and then, I’ll take a machine into the workshop that I’m stuck on, or even if I don’t have time for.
It does help if you only do a 10 mile radius of your workshop (like us), so petrol and time aren’t an issue. Then of course at the workshop I’ve got the expierance of 35 years man-n-boy Grahame to fix it with me (if he can’t fix it over the phone.)
Example: I’ve got 4 jobs on this morning, the first job is a Hoover/Candy CTD that is weeing in it’s own base somewhere. I’ve had lots of different faults on these before, but never this fault. I guess, that it’s the pump failing/blocked. Of course when I turn the m/c on the pump is working. So, I could spend ages taking the thing to bits to see where the water is comming from, or I can put it on the van, and let Goatboy senior do all that, whilest I dash around doing all the other ‘bread and butter’ stuff.
I’d always tell the customer what’s happening first, and ask them if they mind me taking away their appliance away for a day or two. I think it’s better to spend time in the workshop fixing a machine properly, than rushing and making a mistake.
ANyhoo, reading back through this essay, I conclude that it would be better to give yourself more time in a customer’s house for fault-finding, but in the real-world of business, time is too precious!
Re: Neff half turn elements
I won’t fit the non-gen half moon neff element anymore. Every one that I fit failed in under 12 months 👿
It’s genuine or nowt with them!
Re: Advice to hotpoint customers
As Iadom pointed out before, I know a toploader that needs a new power-unit. Bargain!
Do new power-units still exist?
Re: Cold is the new Hot?
Cold washes, combined with extremely soft water in my area, means non-stop stinking washers for me all day 👿 👿 👿
I do the same speech everytime I’m at a washer!*
“There’s no beach in the detergents anymore and we ave really soft water round ere, so you gotta do some 60 degree washes to kill the bacteria…”
I think we should have a whip-round and get an advert ont telly, telling people to sod the enviroment, wash at 60!
—————————————————
*or if I’m fixing someones dryer/oven/dishwasher I get…“While ya ere, why’s me washa stink?”
Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
TWICE, this has happened now 👿
“Hi, I’ve got ya new washa ere” 🙂
“Thank you, can you take it round the back?”
Then when you get there, the ‘back’ is full of dog-turd 🙁 🙁 🙁
Tho if the back is full of turd there’s usually a hose-pipe to blast it off your trolley tires!
Re: What are you trying to say guys?:?
That reminds me of my favourite Geordie word…
Dunsh!
Apparently it’s a Geordie word for a car-crash, as that is the sound of a car smashing into something.
“You dinnie dunsh ya car did ya?”
