Oh yes! I used that before. It was good.
I think my brother used my last batch up de-stickering his car. 😕

Ohhh, the problems we get with soft water…
Dishwashers oversoaping? :eeek:
We used to be Philco agents, and sold hundreds of the washer. Unfortunatly the legs on the spider, had big recess’s for excess soap to gather (like Martin mentioned 😉 ).
After our first few broken drums, we wrote to all our customers, warning about oversoaping. Not many listened.
Soap powder eating through 4-inch Alnuminum struts in 3-5years?!?!?! This stuff is in your clothes!!!! Next to your skin!!!!! It’s a good job humans are built better than white goods.

I’m off to Spazda later. Hopefully they will have it too.
Do you guys reckon it will remove sticky stuff? ie. other companies promotion stickers.
Re: Beko
Every Beko I’ve been to have had a FUBARed module 🙁
And the customer doesn’t want to spend over £40 on it! 🙁

That’s better that Phi taking Zanussi tubs out of the cabinet to fit door seals!

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for them at all.
IMO, they don’t care about the customers needs at all. They just want to sell them something! If they cared, they would get product training and know something about the companies.
This is typical…

Customer complains that ice is building up in freezer. So instead of wasting my time and hers I ring her up to explain that this is not a frost free appliance. Only to have her say that the salesman in Comet/Currys or wherever told her it was. 😕
Ok fair enough, but she won’t take my word for it that it’s not she would rather believe the salesman’s rubbish, instead of believing me someone who has worked for Bosch for a long time now.
Do these muppets in the superstores get any training at all?. And why do customers believe them over engineers. 😕
Re: Zanussi drier TDS 383W – fitting gasket help
You’ll have to find a tool shop.
Ask for a ‘7mm nut-spinner’.
You are very determined to do this yourself, right?
Re: Bosch Gasket
You don’t know if this one fits then?
I thought somebody, somewhere would be able to compute that 5 digit Invicta code. 🙁
Re: Complaint 😆
On the subject of ‘not for general consumption’…
Only in Alberta… This was in the Calgary Sun. The title of the article was “Best Comeback Line Ever.” In summary, the police arrested Ward Branham, a 22-year-old white male, resident of Lethbridge, Alberta, in
a pumpkin patch at 11:38 p.m. on Friday.Ward will be charged with lewd and lascivious behaviour, public indecency, and public intoxication at the Calgary courthouse on Monday.
The suspect explained that as he was passing a pumpkin patch he decided to stop. “You know, a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around there for miles. At least I thought there wasn’t,” he stated in a phone interview. Ward went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purposes, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged “need.”
“I guess I was just really into it, you know?” he commented with evident
embarrassment. In the process, Ward apparently failed to notice a police car approaching and was unaware of his audience until officer Brin Taylor
approached him. “It was an unusual situation, that’s for sure,” said officer Taylor. “I walked up to (Ward) and he’s…just working away at this pumpkin. ” Taylor went on to describe what happened when SHE approached Ward. “I just went up and said, “Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you are screwing a pumpkin?” He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then looked me straight in the face and said, … “A pumpkin? Damn…is it midnight already?”Re: Zanussi drier TDS 383W – fitting gasket help
I think your barking up the wrong tree with the tube thing. 😕
The only different screws on that dryer, are the 7mm bolt-type screws, that are everywhere.
Remember to unplug it first :tup:
Re: Can Hotpoint get any worse
How long is a piece of string?
My problem with ‘Hotpoint’ is the deception (authors views).
The general public still like Hotpoint as a brand, and still think it’s British. I reckon at one time, 80{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of our repairs were on Hotpoints. All those family’s with ’95**’ machines will be looking at their brown aged creature, and thinking ‘It’s about time I got a new Hotpoint’.
They’re going to get a nasty surprise if they think it will be like their old one.
I’d put one of my re-con 95’s or WM’s, up against a WF anyday. Reliablity test! Till the death!
