Re: washing machine for tough conditions
No domestic will be suitable, you’ll need to look to commercial machines built for it and I don’t expect they’ll be cheap.

Re: Zanussi RW 801 Bits of putty like substance on clothes
Yeah, sounds like something is breaking up and you probably won’t get parts for it now I’m afraid.

Hi Steve,
An email to subscriptions@whitegoodstradeassociation.org will sort that for you.

Re: Bosch KGN34V00GB/10 – warm fridge?
It’ll be drawing cold air from the freezer to cool the fridge so, if that flap doesn’t open it won’t get cold.

Re: fed up researching manufacturers and reviews
Any idea of budget for each as that’ll help.
Sizes also.
And on the fridge do you want/need ice and water?

Re: Vacuum Help
Martin is correct.

Re: engineers please help..Hoover HDC884X oven thermostat sw
The only way to do it normally with info like that is to track the wiring back and trace it our as per the schematic diagram component by component, terminal by terminal, there’s no quick fix.
It is highly improbable that anyone would be able to figure it out any other way as I looked at that yesterday and it’s not the best wiring diagram for sure.

Re: Zanussi washer dryer 4years old
Could be a faulty display card but to look it up anyone will need the model and probably the product code or PNC number. You’ll find those on a sticker or plate inside the door normally.

Re: ISE CD60W Condenser Dryer
I think Mark at Anglia Electrics covers most of Hertfordshire and he’s really good, details are here…

And another good one that covers that area also is FFR Services…
It sounds like a blockage and a belt you need, shame to scrap it just for a bit of cleaning and a belt.

Re: Tumble dryer and washer dryer capacities
Oh okay, you’re older so therefore you must know better than anyone else.
Moving on…

Re: Tumble dryer and washer dryer capacities
Yeah okay Martin, of course you know better than people that study the damned stuff.

Re: Tumble dryer and washer dryer capacities
Most instruction manuals are next to useless Martin.
The point I am making is, you cannot use weight for a volumetric measurement where there is no constant and, with laundry there ain’t. Simple.
And your assumption on max capacity is simply plain wrong as many if not most are just out and out unachievable. You just try to do it across multiple different types of load and see if it even makes sense, if you can even fit it in.
It is misused IMO as a marketing tool. Or are you advocating that people should weigh out their laundry loads before washing?
Feel free to disagree if you please though.

Re: Tumble dryer and washer dryer capacities
Martin is technically correct but, the way it’s put is totally misleading by all.
Essentially you cannot empirically measure the load in the course of normal use and it’s a nonsense to suggest that it can be done.
The load capacity is, as I said, a theoretical maximum that is stuffed into a machine by professional packers and folders in conditions that cannot be replicated outside a lab so, about as much use a chocolate fireguard in effect.
I believe Bosch came up with it, or mythology has it, for the EU labels.
More on capacities in these articles:
http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/buyi … load-sizes
http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/buyi … -the-truth
Now it gets made yet more complex by huge doors, many far larger than in days of old when the “hand width” advice was fine.
But to get to to basics where most people can understand it:
Washing machine: 3/4 full maximum
Tumble dryer: 1/2-2/3 full
Put more in and you risk all the overloading problems outlined here:
http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/fix- … ng-machine
Overload a dryer and you get into poor airflow, stat failures, belt breakages and the very real risk of fire.
The point I was making with the coal/feathers is that using the weight to measure volume simply cannot work no matter how you slice it.
Using the simple advice above on load size, you should never have an issue on that front.
