Re: Drum spider WFF2000GB/14

Thanks Greg

Was hoping to get the spider on its own! The drum shouldn’t have any corrosion, I hope!
I feel this washer is well worth putting money in to! 🙂
With VAT that makes it £214.00, thats the cheapest I have found!

Thank you again

Re: Drum spider WFF2000GB/14

Thanks Jim.

I’ve seen the drum with spider attached for £250 plus, thats rediculous! I want it as a spare as my machine is about 15 years old, bought second hand and when I got it was seriously gunked up. My feeling are there will be some corrision to the spider, and if they stop making them in the future I am stuffed! :rolls:

Have cleaned the machine with Affresh cleaner, so at least it is clean.

Also if I have to replace the bearings will I also have to change the bearing cross as well? Never done a Bosch before, But I want to keep this machine running the rinsing is perfect and cycle times short!! 🙂

Thanks

Re: Budget silver condenser tumble dryer recommendations ple

I hate to say it but good quality and budget cannot be put in the same sentence! If you buy a “budget” appliance chances are it won’t last! :rolls:

Avoid Hotpoint (Merloni appliances) they are absolute pants, the electrics often go, especially PCBs. From experience I bought a Hotpoint washer at £500 it lasted 2.5 years and the timer and PCB went. I now have a Bosch and the quality difference is amazing. 😯

Re: Can you recommend a dishwasher?

Bosch are good, the more expensive £400 end (The ones made in Germany).

If you could run to it Miele are the VERY best!

Re: Trying to identify Brand and Model of my washing machine

Hi Jim

Thats funny my 2 Year old Hotpoint was like that until it packed up (another story, hence my signature!!), but a Siltal integrated washing machine is over – ridden by the thermostat dial setting, you can have a 95 wool wash if you want. Before you ask the machine has been like this for 8 years when it was new! 😉

Re: Trying to identify Brand and Model of my washing machine

Your welcome 😉

Oliver

PS. Programme 9 should end with a slow spin as it is a special programme for cotton with some sort of special finish. From what I can see in order to do that you would have to select “Spin delay”(rinse hold) and manually put on a synthetic slow spin or it will do a fast spin! The Servis Quartz had this programme and it ended with a slow spin. Unless you have any very old items prog. 9 will not be used at all today. Sorry I forgot to add this 😳

Re: Trying to identify Brand and Model of my washing machine

Hi

The prewash looks like it will automatically be followed be programmes one and nine (Boil wash). You would probably have to manually stop it if you wanted to use a prewash for any other programme. 😕 Also a synthetic prewash, but only useable with the following programme, unless you manuallly adjust the knob to the desired programme after the prewash has completed. :rolls:

Correct about 1-9 you have to manually select the temperature.
No programme 8……..
Programme 8 is for machine washable Silk, printed acetates and other delicate items (30 degree delicate wash). This is out of the user manual for a 25 Year old Servis Quartz 1000, this is the last place I saw 8.

This is an odd machine as the numbers correspond to garment care labels or they did. Let me explain, what used to be prog 4 ie a 50 degree synthetic wash is now a little bucket with a 50 inside with one bar underneath. So the fact you machine has both on is very strange, if it is 4 years old.
The care labels changed from numbers to symbols about 15 years ago.

i wouldnt waste my money on ANY beko appliance.. not a penny, nor would i throw money away on a hotpoint/merloni thing

Helo is right Beko are cheap, nasty crap!! Im not even starting on Merloni, had a £500 Hotpoint washer 2 and a half years service. Got a Bosch now, a million times better in the quality dept!!!

Beko are built to a budget, a very tight budget be it a washer, dishwasher, cooker it doesn’t matter if the quality isn’t there it will not last unless you get the 1 good in 10000000! :rotfl:

Re: Oven cleaner

I have used Mr Muscle and found it to be very good, but the oven was not the bad!! Also used an industrial degreaser (that I cannot name for safety reasons, deadly pink stuff) and that worked but not as well as you might expect! 😯 Also this is what they use in commercial kitchens.

Also have a Polti steam cleaner and that works better than any chemical, but Polti’s are VERY expensive! 😉 Messy job though, goes everywhere! :rolls:

Re: Best washing machine around £500?

What about the ISE AW23 For £469.99 with 5 year warranty or £399.99 with a 2 year warranty? 🙂

I am not a washer engineer but these appliances are built to last and are easily repairable, excellent machines! 😉
