Re: Another joke.
In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and
spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and
Woman would live long and healthy lives.Then using God’s bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and
Magnums.And Satan said “You want hot fudge with that?
And Man said “Yes!”
And Woman said “I’ll have one too with chocolate chips”.
And lo, they gained 10 pounds.And God created the healthy yoghurt that Woman might keep the figure
that Man found so fair.And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the
cane and combined them.
And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.
So God said “Try my fresh green salad”.
And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the
side.
And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.God then said “I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in
which to cook them”.
And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped
lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own
platter.
And Man’s cholesterol went through the roof.Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming
with potassium and good nutrition.
Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre
into chips and deep fried them in animal fats adding copious
quantities of salt.
And Man put on more pounds.God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose
those extra pounds.
And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would
not have to toil changing the channels.
And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and
started wearing stretch jogging suits.Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and
still satisfy his appetite.
And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger.
Then Satan said “You want fries with that?” and Man replied “Yes, And
super size ’em”.
And Satan said “It is good.” And Man and Woman went into cardiac
arrest.God sighed …….. and created quadruple by-pass surgery. And then
………………….. Satan chuckled and created the National Health
Service.THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION
After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here’s the
final word on nutrition and health.:1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than
us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks
than us.
4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart
attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer
fewer heart attacks than us.CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is
apparently what kills you.Re: WEEE & Recycling
Hi Andy, I am talking mainly about WMA rear drum halves, and if you read the legislation carefully, the moment you put these items back on your vehicle you are transporting recycleable waste, with or without a license. I know that the £140.00 I have spent makes me feel safe from the jobsworths that will have a field day when the WEEE directive kicks in for real.
You can take a motor to a customers house, but even the box itself becomes recycleable material the second you take the motor out of it. You can leave the motor with the customer but if you take it away you are then transporting recycleable waste 😥

Chris..Nah, it just down to numbers, Hotpoint sales would outnumber Creda by a massive margin.

Re: Hotpoint WD865A Soap Drawer Backflushing
It could have a partial blockage in the sump hose under the drum. Power off if you intend to investigate.

Re: Dead Hotpoint WD645
What you have unfortunately is a Hotpoint machine with Indesit electronics in it. Over complicated and unreliable is the bast way to describe these boards.

Re: TUMBLE DRYER ON THE BLINK ! HELP PLEASE ??
I have deleted your other post, please keep it to one post per subject, it gets very messy if you post the same question in two forums at the same time.
It could be the belt, or the capacitor. You would have to remove the top after you have isolated the machine from the mains to check if the belt is still around the drum or not. Fitting belts to dryers is not the easiest thing in the world though.

Re: HOTPOINT WMA BEARINGS
Hi John and welcome to the madhouse, can you tone it down a bit ( CAPS LOCK OFF) please. 😀
The bearing seal problem was more or less sorted a couple of years ago.The later seal is manufactured by Rubena and to date the only one of those that I have seen fail had an extra long tennis shoe lace wrapped around it. Of course the odd drum coming off the production line with no seal fitted ( it has happened ) is still likely to fail fairly soon. 😆

Re: WEEE & Recycling
That list doesn’t seem to include what can only be described as ‘trade waste’ That is to say scrap drums, motors, the cardboard boxes they come in etc,etc.
It only appears to deal with the supply of new, complete appliances and the removal of the complete old one.
I have discussed this with the Environment Office responsible for this area and was informed that should I wish to take such scrap items away, or dispose of them, I would need a carriers license and would also have to take them to a designated disposal tip, not the local council amenity.

Re: Getting the belt on the tension pulley – Hpt condenser d
The one I fitted yesterday was tighter than the 7 ribbed belts IMHO.

Re: Creda T622CW No heat- and it’s not the termostats!
Unfortunately safety concerns prevent me from being more precise, please read this. http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/modules.p … pic&t=4386
It is really up to you to decide if you want to risk changing the timer or getting ‘a man who knows’ to have a look. 😉

Re: Getting the belt on the tension pulley – Hpt condenser d
Have you tried with the latest 9 rib belt yet Bob. Believe me the tool for the vented dryers is a godsend, no elbow grease required, I can save that for my squash. 8)

A bit too enthusiastic, he has told one punter that the whole drum has to come out to change a Zanussi door seal and told another that washer belts don’t stretch. :rolls:
Jim.Re: Ariston Margherita A1535 – help!
Fairdeal wrote:To be honest the belts do not stretch over a time.
It is very common for belts to stretch, that is why there is provision to tighten the belts on older machines. With the new ‘stretchy’ belts, there is no adjustment so if the belt is slack or comes adrift it should be replaced.
