Re: Fridge doors seals
Hi Richard,
There are “universal” ones but my own personal opinion of them is not high let’s just say. 😉
To get anything specific you’ll have to give us model numbers and the make at the very least to be enable us to help you.

Hi Lou Lou,
Anything can be repaired, it’s whether its worth it or not that’s the question. I’m not familiar with the newer table tops from Zanussi but one of the Service Force guys should be able to point you in the right direction.
I’d doubt very much that it’s doomed though.
K.
There’s no problem with getting you the part at all, DAve will be able to supply it but, so far as I know as I’ve not done one, the IWMS kit is not an easy thing to do and it’s not recommended for DIY repairs.
If you do want just the part mail Dave at spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk and he’ll advise pricing etc tomorrow.
K.
Dave will be able to get it okay, I’d look it up for you but I don’t have IE on this machine and, annoyingly, AGORA will only accept a connection from IE. 😕

Just great! Would someone please tell them to try and poach BG or Merloni engineers! 😆
2 day service my **** 😀
On the upside there is an interesting idea for that will be on the agenda for Sibson on recruitment and training. 😉

Re: Where is the best and cheapest place to buy dishwasher?
I have to agree with them compbuild, a lot of the internet retailers get flack from the manufacturers and us as well as some of them aren’t the best to deal with.
Personally I’ve heard many a tale of woe from customers in warranty that have had hassles from buying appliances on the net. The best advice I can offer is to look for ones that do have an established business in appliance sales and sell over the net as they’re liable to hold stock etc. Many of the lowest price ones (as is the way on the net) often have no stock and loads of stuff is a special order.
They’re not all bad of course, it would be unfair to say that but manufacturers have often told me of school kids in a bedroom flogging appliances amongst other nasty tales. 🙁
In the end you’ll probably find it hard to beat the advice here thus far, go to a local independent retailer as you’ll get a fair deal and usually a very good backup service to boot.

They are indeed cheaper to run, but the price premium pays for a lot of drying in a conventional electric or condensor dryer and, with the condensor, there’s a fair degree of flexability in installation that just isn’t possible with a gas one. Even a standard one there’s the ever popular, “hang the hose out the window” installation arrangement. 😉
And with the condensor you don’t need the vent hole in the wall which you do with gas (IIRC) to comply with the regs on ventilation. More cost if you’re not up to DIY’ing it.
Then there’s the cost of installation itself, which to comply with the safety issue isn’t cheap but if you’re qualified to do it’s not an issue, but add £70-100 for that as well to the price.
Then the rarity of people that want and, indeed, are able to repair them when they fail.
All in all for the man in the street not really a viable alternative in my opinion and probably, in the end, just as expensive or more so, over the lifespan of the appliance to run. In a commercial situation, different ball game of course.

Re: Another Landmark?
Well yet another little landmark/record or two in January since I now have the figures back.
We, you will see, topped over 270,000 page views but for more detail on that…
Unique visitors : 25131
Number of visits : 41532 (1.65 visits/visitor)
Pages : 281535 (6.77 pages/visit)

Pretty impressive stuff really. 😉

I don’t do LG, never have. But whenever the subject comes up all I hear about is tub changes, bearing failures and duff parts. 😕

Re: Gas Tumble Dryers
Hi Paul,
I have no idea what the failure rate is like on these dryers but I know that when they were first introduced our engineers hated them with a passion. From what I can gather many of them seem still to despise the things.
If you have the qualifications I assume you mean that you have the gas tumble dryer module as it is a seperate module for a low-volume appliance, hence there’s not a lot of guys out there that repair them as I said in a post the other night. In fact, in all the information I’ve had back I cannot recall seeing anyone that actually does repairs on them. 😕

Re: Breakfast At Kev’s
Kev,
STFU! :rotfl:
Yes, there is a fair bit coming off this year. Some of it hopefully soon, like in the next two or three months at most and some of it later in the year.
For reasons that you’ll get Martin, when the time comes we simply cannot tell you what’s going off due to commercial sensitivity, not ours but for others.
What I can tell you is that within the next few months I should be full time on UKW and not having to do NWAR stuff other than guiding it at times and the odd babysitting duties there. Of course that just allows me to spend even more time plotting and scheming on behalf of us all. 😉
But Kev’s point is correct, we’re not just sitting about waiting on shit to happen, we’re making it happen.
