    Re: What is the most useful tool in your toolbox?

    Dentist extraction pliers the right angle to get into awkward parts, brilliant for the old Hotpoint carbons will hold nuts like a vice etc had them 25 years and still got life in them.

    Re: Frost Free

    I noticed nobody mentioned carrying a steam cleaner to quickly defrost these units, as the drain hole is the usual bit to freeze up, over not defrosting properly I allways add a piece of copper wire to the defrost heater and put it in the defrost hole and in most occasions this works for me. This is of course done as long as the defrost heater is working.

    Re: Stoves Belling DW 602/2 Leaking

    Hi Dave I found the base which is plastic has a seperate insert in the very bottom and is held in with four plastic lugs, so I removed pump and found that it has a small bellows that had a small hole in it, so problem now resolved.
    Thanks again for your help Kirk

    Yes Dave the timer is down at the bottom, I have remove side panels and rear weight can see the pump just floating on a rubber mount but the plastic base has it all enclosed.
    I want to know how you get access to it there is not enough room from the sides either, there also doesn’t seem to be any fixings to the rear to loosen off only at the front?
    Also has anyone else had this fault of loose pump leaking when it is washing.
    Thanks Kirk

    I only posted this as a topic after a very unreasonable encounter, thought there might be some hair raising accounts well if I had any hair.

    Re: HOOVER SIX AAA WHISPER

    If you live in the south east this is a problem we see every day.
    40 deg washes do not disolve the soap powders properly mixed with comfort it smells putrid.
    Remove the clothes immediateley after a wash,and as was advised do a boil wash but use a cup of washing soda with a bad machine this may need 3 in a row, it also seems to be more of a problem with plastic drums

    Re: Dishwasher installation fault?

    The live pin on the plug had burnt and of course the plug was covered in the goo. With the pin burnt as far as I was concenred it was a faulty socket and did not go any further though the builder is.

    Re: Dishwasher installation fault?

    Thanks for both your input,my problem lies in the builders head office wanting a report into why a moulded plug melted? I put it down to the adverse heat from the dishwasher being forced against it. I don’t want to fall out over this as it is a Stoves contract but I still have look after myself and wanted to make sure I was in the right.
    So what temerature would adversely affect a plug, of course it could have been badly wired in the socket and that is where th heat came from.

    Thanks Kirk
