    who the hell allowed that?

    id be ringing the hse and trading standards.. its such bad practices that lead to people being killed

    and especially a hotpoint…. not to mention the fact that you went to this, left it, and went back.. what would have happened if the consumer had been killed in that gap between the first and second visit?

    yep thats right, YOUR fault

    good job it was only a day

    at exactly what point was your machine rendered unrepairable?

    it continues to amaze me how people still pay to have expensive repairs done to get their £20.000 car through its mot after 3 years – yet whinge and go to court if their £179 indesit washer didnt last 6 years!!

    when are you going to realise that the manufacturers have every right to try and execute a suitable repair over a reasonable period of time? samsung are actually pretty dam good at fixing faults, i know, i sat for 2 hrs listening to one of their tech guys run through possible problems and suitable fixes

    if the engineer that visited you that day was one of mine, he would be in serious trouble for advising what he did, its loose lips like that that cause people to jump the gun and demand replacements when the cures actually pretty simple

    it can be fixed.. simple as, and it would certainly be quicker than just giving you another one because YOU deem it necessary

    yes, its a grey area, and penguin does have a point

    the corgi issue is, and always will be about the final safety check of the appliance, although, according to the handbook, you should still be knowledgeable about gas appliances

    thats where the ccn 1 and ckr module come in

    does cover you, and as a matter of interest, your corgi fitter is capable of such a repair..im just not 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} sure that as your not corgi registered, and its you/your company that charges and actually carries out the work, the burden will lay at your door

    thing is, if your corgi fitter is competent (which im sure he is, its just the word they use) then the drop/safety test should deem the household in a safe condition, so , again, itll always be open to debate

    first day of your corgi course, they always run throught the safety aspect, with all the horror stories being thrown at you, complete with pictures, and its quite unnerving

    house of horrors covered this some time ago, and at any one given time while your carrying out the repair, the customer can, and is urged to ask you if your corgi registered, and you should have your card with you to show at any stage of the work, should it be requested, and house of horrors did use that as there main plan of attack

    basically what they did, was get this guy out to fix a boiler, and they knew he wasnt corgi registered.. they waited till he removed 1 panel, and they jumped on him… he said he had a corgi guy to check it, but it was not important to them, since he was doing the work.. illegal!

    so, on that cooker, you have to take the hobtop off, and youll then be repairing an appliance… what if the customer then asks you for your corgi card? yep, your breaking the law!! simple, unfair, but thats the way it is

    does that make sense?

    sorry to throw a spanner in the works btw
