Re: Unusual Tumble Dryer Fire

Leave the poor guy alone, we’ve all done that and then thought, do’h! 😉

Re: Unusual Temble Dryer Fire
Had a few with painters, especially car bodyshop people where the chemicals weren’t cleaned properly then they ignited in the dryer.
Byan is right… common sense and all that. 😉

Re: Is my halogen ring working correctly?
Or the traditional centre element has had it but the halogen is still okay and if that’s the case I very much doubt you’ll get replacement for it, most halogen zones are obsolete, I’ve not seen one available for years.

Re: Water filled weights?
Space is the problem.
Concrete or iron has a higher weight density so, especially large capacity machines that everyone seems to want to buy these days where space is at a real premium internally, the notion of taking up yet more space for weights just ain’t gonna happen.
Sorry, that’s the reality.
Then factor in cost.
If it costs more in a market where cost is at an even greater premium than space do you really think that manufacturers will spend more to please the media or whatever?
After that gets looked at in depth I’m pretty sure this will fall at that first hurdle.
But I hear some cry, what of all the environmental benefits touted in the media then with lower fuel costs for lorries and whatever?
Well, you need to think logically about the whole thing, not just focus on the bit that suits your premise.
I listened to the dude that supposedly came up with this today and it’s a plastic box (in effect) injection moulded I assume that has a silicon injected layer coating the internals to prevent leakages (ha ha) and apart from my thinking, “good luck with that on skinny front weights that break when you look at them wrong”. I thought, well that’s nice so instead of some natural rocks and stuff we’re going to use oil based synthetics that use a boatload of energy and water to make to replace what is a pretty efficient, tried and proven manufacturing process.
But more, they need to retool to do all that as well.
Then if you want the same capacities you need bigger cabinets… etc, etc.
Bigger cabinets = less on the truck in a container = (probably) zero net gain or even a reversal.
If you can as market forces might demonstrate you can’t as the things won’t fit in a standard slot or, you get more capacity with a machine using conventional weights so the market will just gravitate to that anyway.
I can see the poor old polar bears rolling their eyes now at the abject stupidity and poor research into the overall effects.
But heh, makes for a good story eh?

Re: Hygena Cooker Hood conversion.
Have a read of…
http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/buyi … tion-notes
That will probably tell you a a lot and explain the next line…
A cooker hood that’s not vented is little more than a ornament that lights up a bit, rattles and gives the illusion of cleaning the air. It really isn’t doing a stellar job if anything at all.
Carbon filters are supposed to remove odours and, to some degree they do work but, not as well as many people might think.

Re: Electrolux ESF63020 Switches Off After Pre Wash
Well after pre wash it’ll fill then start to heat so, heater?

Re: Buzzing from control panel
First thing to do is open it up and have a look see what the problem might be.

Re: Replacement/stickers/decals for oven temperature
I spoke to a few of them before but they weren’t interested in trade sales at all or, the ones doing it I spoke to weren’t at any rate.
I’ve asked the question though.
