    Re: Bosch WAA28160 Dimensions?

    Bout £30? 😆

    I assume that a 28160 will be a 1400 spin?

    If you want a fast spin speed, it needs to be a good quality machine can handle that stress. The construction of the WAA’s doesn’t impress me 😕

    The WAA are cheaper than the WFL’s, which means cheaper (cruder) spares 🙁 and poorer reliablity. Ask an engineer about a new machine, and he/she will talk about reliability; it’s all we care about!

    I sold one WAA, and I haven’t stocked it since, because (IMHO) it was tacky!

    We are supplying a washing machine for a charity raffle, and we’re giving them a WFL, rather than a cheaper (for us) WAA, because…

    We don’t like it that much, we won’t give one away!

    Ps. These are just my opinions, of course.

    Did you check the door seal for holes?

    :eeek:

    Don’t get a WAA!

    I thought you were going for the WFL?

    To be blunt, the WFL is abit of a cheap + nasty bosch. The WAA are the really cheap + nasty Bosch 🙁

    What? 😕

    If you can’t figure it out yourself, it really is time for professional help!

    This forum is for guidance and fault finding, not step-by-step “how do I take this next bolt out” instructions 🙁

    Knackered motor? Losing speed control? Is there water leaking into the motor? Is the motor tacho ok?

    Unplug it before you investigate, or click here for an engineer.

    Re: Electrolux z5605

    They look ok, but IMHE, I see alot of bag-less Lux’s with blown-up motors 😕

    If you get one, stay ontop of the filters.

    ps I thought you’d be buying through BSH? 😆

    Re: Another joke.

    This is (apparently) a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for “Termination without Cause”. This guy should have been promoted, not fired!

    Operator: “R*dge H*ll, computer assistance; may I help you?”

    Caller: “Yes, well, I’m having trouble with WordPerfect.”

    Operator: “What sort of trouble??”

    Caller: “Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.”

    Operator: “Went away?”

    Caller: “They disappeared.”

    Operator: “Hmm So what does your screen look like now?”

    Caller: “Nothing.”

    Operator: “Nothing??”

    Caller: “It’s blank; it won’t accept anything when I type.”

    Operator: “Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??”

    Caller: “How do I tell?”

    Operator: “Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??”

    Caller: “What’s a sea-prompt?”

    Operator: “Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?”

    Caller: “There isn’t any cursor: I told you, it won’t accept anything I
    type.”

    Operator: “Does your monitor have a power indicator??”

    Caller: “What’s a monitor?”

    Operator: “It’s the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it’s on??”

    Caller: “I don’t know.”

    Operator: “Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the
    power cord goes into it. Can you see that??”

    Caller: “Yes, I think so.”

    Operator: “Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it’s plugged
    into the wall.

    Caller: “Yes, it is.”

    Operator: “When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there
    were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??”

    Caller: “No.”

    Operator: “Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find
    the other cable.”

    Caller: “Okay, here it is.”

    Operator: “Follow it for me, and tell me if it’s plugged securely into the
    back of your computer.”

    Caller: “I can’t reach.”

    Operator: “Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??”

    Caller: “No.”

    Operator: “Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way
    over??”

    Caller: “Oh, it’s not because I don’t have the right angle- it’s because
    it’s dark.”

    Operator: “Dark??”

    Caller: “Yes – the office light is off, and the only light I have is
    coming in from the window. “

    Operator: “Well, turn on the office light then.”

    Caller: “I can’t.”

    Operator: “No? Why not??”

    Caller: “Because there’s a power failure.”

    Operator: “A power……… A power failure? Aha, Okay, we’ve got it
    licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??”

    Caller: “Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.”

    Operator: “Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.”

    Caller: “Really? Is it that bad?”

    Operator: “Yes, I’m afraid it is.”

    Caller: “Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??”

    Operator: “Tell them you’re too ****ing stupid to own a computer!!!!!”

    Re: Another joke.

    A joke for Friday…

    Paddy died in a fire and was burnt pretty badly. The morgue needed someone to identify the body, so his two best friends, Seamus and Sean, were sent for. Seamus went in and the mortician pulled back the sheet.

    Seamus said “Yup, he’s burnt pretty bad. Roll him over.”

    So the mortician rolled him over.

    Seamus looked and said “Nope, it ain’t Paddy.”

    The mortician thought that was rather strange, but he brought Sean in for a second opinion.

    Sean took a look at him and said, “Yup, he’s burnt real bad, roll him over.”

    The mortician rolled him over and Sean looked down and said, “No, it ain’t
    Paddy.”

    The mortician asked, “How can you tell?”

    Sean said, “Well, Paddy had two arseholes.”

    “What, he had two arseholes???” said the mortician.

    “Yup, everyone knew he had two arseholes. Every time we went into town, folks would say, “Here comes Paddy with them two arseholes…”

    Re: messy houses

    I once entered someone’s front room and had to step around the dog-turd in the middle of the rug.

    The punter didn’t even get out of his chair while I was there, and he just aknowleged the turd (or the fact that I nearly stood in it) with a shrugg 😕

    The seal is unavailable 🙁 It is a whole pump that you’ll need!

    The genuine pump is expensive, but ‘The Spares Master’ should be able to provide a non-genuine pump a little cheaper than that price.

    Email spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk and ask for a pump for a 605637203
