Re: Hotpoint FD61 Dishwasher
If there is an internal leak, not caused by the water seeping from the door into the base then you do really need to get an engineer out. As eastlmark has already intimated, this is one machine on which component access is not a DIY job. There are many places that could leak other than the drain pump.
Re: Hotpoint Aquarius WD440 Drying Temperatures
Don’t let them bully you, if you set the controls as advised in the instruction booklet and it has damaged your clothes then it is faulty. It should be coolish at the end of a full drying cycle. I can just imagine what my response would be if they attempted to charge me for such a call, it would be firm and polite, but they would not get a penny out of me. 😈 Also mention the fact that you will require recompense for the damaged article. Live up to your username, harrass them and hunt them down. 🙂
NB. Remember that the office staff and the engineers are only following orders, don’t take it out on them, if you do not get satisfaction, complain to the Indesit Company.
Re: Wee Bites(on the front page)
Cheaper still round here, (nothing) at the moment they only charge for fridge removal even though it says it is free on this link.

Now you know why my labour charges are below the average 😉Re: Creda T601CW not heating (Thermostats already replaced)
And there is also the ‘hidden’ timer which can on rare occasions prevent the heater from being switched on.
If the original stat base was concave, then the first thing I would do is to carefully check the new one to make sure you haven’t pushed it in accidentally.
Re: Creda T601CW not heating (Thermostats already replaced)
There is another stat, well hidden near the door and not easily accessible to the uninitiated. Apart from actually looking at the element the only way to be certain it is OK is by using proper electrical testing equipment, if it looks fine then it most likely is OK. Either of the two timers 😉 could also be at fault, does the machine reverse tumble ?
Make sure the plug is out if you intend to proceed further.
NB. You must handle the new stats very carefully, it is very easy to press the base of the green spot stat in and it is then useless, have you checked the new green spot stat you fitted ?

If he spotted it before me, does that count 🙂
Re: Hotpoint BF162 D/W light No:2
Thanks for the replies folks, will check it out when I get back to it. The ‘P’ button was a bit suspect ( flimsy) and did stick to one side. Will report back. 🙂
Re: Soap Powders & Technology Training
I don’t wish to appear as someone who goes looking for mistakes 😉
but I will buy a pint the next time I see them, for the first person who has done the Soap Technology training and is in possession of the UKWG’s ‘Laundry Guide’. If they can spot the confusing error’s on pages 15 & 16, the beer is on me. 🙂Re: New element to hot???
Just to put this to bed.
Went back this morning to fit new inner door glass. Ran on all temps, stat working fine. I have to say that the way this inner door is held in place by two small metal plates, top & bottom is asking for trouble as it will put undue pressure on two very small points along the longest edges of the glass.
Still, she paid up. 🙂Re: masterpart
Posted my application for Masterpart account on Sunday evening, not heard anything yet, I have Andy Willeys card, will e-mail him if nothing comes up soon.
Re: De Dietrich DW query
The DeDe is working fine, she was just asking what I thought of them after the sharp intake of breath she heard from me when she mentioned the Necht, I nearly went into my John Cleese routine. 🙂

Are we talking about the same machine, this so called back panel is not much bigger than the pulley access panel on a Hotpoint WM machine, and the cabinet back has some very sharp edges.
Re: Bosch WFL2260 motor access
I should have said tilted right back, not laid flat. Still think motor bolt access it is an awful piece of design, if only someone would make a machine once again, on which the full back comes off. 😉 Its streching it a bit to call the pathectic little piece of metal on this Bosch a back panel, but once again no doubt the accountants are interfering. 😥
