    Re: I just had to say…

    yep, ditto, had an ok week upto today, every last customer spent the whole time i was in their house moaning & winging, ‘these machines are crap’, ‘why did you take so long to come’, ‘what do you mean you dont carry 12 yr old obscure modules’, ‘mind my bloody floor’, ‘HOW MUCH? i can buy a new one for that!’, now im in a bad mood for the weekend!!, 😆 plus ‘why has my pump failed you only changed the drum in february, i shouldnt have to pay again’

    Re: Proline PDW081S – live?

    most likely the socket, ill try to explain, the earthing on the d/w sounds like its intact but when its on, and should have any earth leakage taken away by the sockets earthing, it only goes up to the next socket making the kettle casing live, thus when you touch the kettle & sink you get zapped, its prob only a small voltage that is being shielded by the paintwork when you touch the d/w, get the electrician out asap & dont use the d/w again till its sorted, if the d/w were to develop a real fault you’d be in for a VERY big shock

    Re: House of Horrors

    so how do you all advertise locally? do you put a price in the ad or wait till the customer calls and asks? cause i cant get any calls from ads when the other 2 engineers who advertise here one always states ‘Most calls only £12 + no call out charge” the other states “Over 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of machines fixed for £25” how do they survive?

    Re: indesit WD12SUK Steam from Draw

    yes it will cycle on and off through the condenser, yes you can also get a trickle thorugh then drawer, and yes you will get some steam from the drawer during a long dry cycle, steam rises and has no-where else to go, as long as its drying the same as before leave alone, if the drying is not so good now the condenser may just be partially blocked with fluff

    Re: hotpoint inner bearing

    very, very tight fit, tapered casing, takes a lot of driving out & just as hard to fit new ones in, much better to buy the back half complete with fitted bearings

    Re: Hotpoint DWF 33P/41

    would think the prob is more likely to be the hose from inlet tank to tub full of sludge & not taking in enough water to get good pressure through the arms

    Re: Hotpoint FEW 12

    wow whats all this about angle grinding the support screws off??!!, just unscrew them, dead easy, take a torx bit, insert, hit 3 times HARD, then try to tighten the screw, (will only turn about 2{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} but you will see it go) then unscrew, never fails if done right

    Re: Hotpoint WMT03

    could be a pressure hose/sump blokage causing just a small amount of water to operate the overfill level?
