Re: diy’ers
ok given that i have given advice im not saying no way ho say, but liek the example of the guy who is looking at a zanussi and thinking there is 2 motors, to the point of telling that person how to take it apart, i guess its down to indivduals to how much info they want to give out, but im darn sure that if i rang me local garage and asked something they wouldnt tell me how to take it apart and then what to check. I just think sometimes it goes to far.
Re: diy’ers
like i said an opinion , comments, isnt that what forums are about as well ?
not just polls and rules ?
Re: diy’ers
ok lets get officious, what im asking is a generalisation of self preservation in our industry, peoples opinions not officaldom (if thats even a word)
Re: diy’ers
thats not in the context of this website though. as far as im aware there is no other website that has a forum for people to get the type of advice on whitegood repairs than this one, maybe and note my wording, its a case of to much info is being given out ?
Re: diy’ers
don`t worry Martin`s getting his revenge on a DIY`er by getting him to take the rear casing off a Zanussi to have a look at the brushes
yeah true enough lolbut we are undersold, undervalued anyway, most other industries wont help the gp in this manner now i know some will argue well that makes us look better but there aint no smell or taste to that now is there?
Re: Faulty motor, worth fixing?
i would advise you find someone to look at it that knows what they are doing as there is only one motor in there !
try repairs@ 🙂
Re: Best Van to buy?
It all comes down to budget and what size van you want really, personally i am on my second vw transporter, and when the time comes i will buy another.
Re: broadband
i have used nildram for a few years now, the 2 outages i have had have been down to an exchange fault, which is down to bt. Not the cheapest but reliable and good speeds + you can have static ip and blocks of ip’s which most dont offer, but not everyone wants this anyway. http://www.adslguide.org.uk/ is a good resource for finding an isp that gives you what you are looking for.
Re: WMA bearing change
Zanussi washer dryer drum repair has (for me at least) over the usual washing machine is that darned door seal Sad
Disconnecting and reconnecting that seal from the heater ducting is the only real problem, the rest is a walk in the park (kind of Rolling Eyes )
i did one of these on fri, why disconnect the seal from the heater duct???just unscrew the heater duct and it all comes away door seal intact 🙄
Re: WMA bearing change
well if a customer of mine is prepared to have the bearings replaced on a wma then i would go for it, if they werent then i would go for selling them an ise, when its available, even then i would make more money out of the bearing job and when they have another fault in x amount of time i would then advise them accordingly. Im an service engineer first , salesman second.
Re: Qualtex Increase Staff
i have the software already but cant use it to place orders as it will double up on the prices, im waiting for my rep to send me the cd so i can update the db which is supposed to be soon but its still usefull as a look up tool atm, the only thing i have raised with them is the carriages charges which is way to high !
Re: Hotpoint 7810
the cost of some spares these days is way out , the manufacturers should be brought to book on it imo.
Re: AAAAAaaaaarrrrgggghhh!!!!!!!Zanussi door seal.

Re: Sneaky Police Speed Trap
i thought this highly amusing in todays news..
‘A driver faces losing his licence after being snapped four times by the same speed camera in under two minutes.The 40-year-old Turk kept speeding past the camera in Switzerland to try and find out why it was continually flashing at him’
