BTW, my brother has finally got his interview with Bosch, so thank you BSH-man for your evil influence. 😉
Re: Dual Fuel Cookers
I’m not Corgi regestigered (and dont wanna be), so I’ve always passed those jobs onto the local Corgi guy. I thought it was illegal to work on them, but it’s ‘grey’ you say? Hmmmmmm! 😕
I think it’s a case of ‘who worked on this appliance last before it killed somebody?’
For me, it’s not worth the risk. The only gas I touch is if I have to move a cooker to fix another appliance, and I have to disconnect a bayonet fitting. I’m glad this is apparantly ok.
Re: Partscentre ad campaign
The latest I’ve heard (from a quesionable birdie), is that Wolsley are fed up already, and are going to close the trade counters. 🙁
Re: Balay Good Show
I have a Balay washing machine at home. I only use it 3 times a week, as I have no kids (get it?).
I think the quality is slightly above average, pretty good. But like Dave said, it’s not as good as the Neff/Bosch.
It’s always worth spending a little extra, for long-term reliablity. 😉

Re: A Joke I Received Earlier
That reminds me off another dirty joke.
You ask a girl if she’s ever kissed a parrot.
After she replies, you say….
Any guesses?
Re: Is this an epidemic or just luck?
I’ve never heard of it, never seen it, it doesn’t exist!
I’ve had two WMA’s that were not spinning, and were both fixed by re-soldering a blown joint on the control board.
Re: A Joke I Received Earlier
:rotl:
Fantastic!
It reminds of a job I did, where the parrot was constantly teasing the cat. It would say ‘Here puss puss puss’ in the owners voice. Then when the cat came over close enough it would get bit.
Twas very funny, if you have a black sence of humour like me.
Re: Bit of advice re washing machine leak
Good news! By today, the customer had calmed down alot.
I went round, tightened up the loose fill pipe (God knows how it came loose), kept my head down, neither of us mentioned the bone-dry carpet, and all’s well that ends well.
Abit of subtle revenge would be nice for all the abuse he gave me, but sometime you’ve got to be the punchbag I suppose. The customer is always right. I hate that phrase.
Re: Zanussi ZJD1285
You can order seperate bearings from electrue for about £3 each, it’s just getting the right seal that’s the tricky bit. If you have their home laundry catalogue, check out page 8.
Edit – electrue part number for these bearings is the bearing size. ie you need a 6207zz and a 6206zz
ps. catches win matches 🙁
Re: Bit of advice re washing machine leak
Unfortunatly, the man is violently unreasonable. He won’t listen to me.
It’s typical; we sell Bosch. It cuts down on dealing with the scum. If someone wants a cheaper machine, we tell them to go to the sheds. This guy had a knackered Candy, and he wouldn’t pay for a Bosch. So instead of saying ‘goodbye’, the boss (just once) rings our all-saler and gets a cheap Candy for him. I frigging hate Candy!! You stick your neck out once, and it gets #### on!
So, according to him, I’ve cross-threaded a pipe, but it took 3 days to start leaking. 😕 So he gets to call me every name under the sun, before I buy him a new carpet. Yeah right!!!
I’ve offered to help him, but he just shouted at me, so now I’m going to ignore him until he calms down.

I did an installation on Friday. The customer has been on to us this morning, claim I cross-threaded a pipe, and there was a flood Sunday morning. Why not Friday evening?
Anyhoo, the customer is demanding a new carpet, and any advice would be appreciated.
So far, I haven’t claimed responcablity, and I’ve said I’ll have a look later.
Am I screwed?
