Re: Whirlpool fridge freezer water leak

Should I have a water reservoir attached to the two pipes I mentioned above?
The pipes stick up with the ends behind a curved plastic cover, but behind this cover there is just a cable tie attached to the back of the fridge and nothing else!

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Ben

Re: Good washer dryer? – Two new AEG L14850 failed in a mont

Thanks for the advice.
The company who supplied our washer dryer have allowed me to choose an alternative replacement, so I’ve gone for a Bosch Logixx WAS28466GB washing machine. Hopefully this will be more reliable than the washer dryer. This just leaves me to decide on a compact washer dryer – thanks for you advice on the condenser one WQ.
I only need a compact dryer for about a year as we plan on moving, hopefully to a house with space for a full dryer.
Does anyone know roughly how much it costs to get a through-wall vent put in for a dryer? I guess this might be outside the scope of this forum. The house is late 1980s with brick outer wall, cavity and breeze block inner walls.
Any reccomendations for a compact dryer? Bearing in mind that I am used to the performance of a washer-dryer I guess anything should be an improvement!
Thanks,
Ben

Re: Good washer dryer? – Two new AEG L14850 failed in a mont

Thanks very much for the advice so far. I think that I could fit in a slimline dryer above the washing machine (only a shallow dryer will fit due to a sloping ceiling). Due to location it would have to be a condenser dryer, so the only product I can find to fit the bill is the Zanussi TC180W.
Does anyone know if this dryer is any good? Do you think that a separate washing machine and this compromise (only 3.5kg) dryer is the safer bet?

Thanks for your advice,

Ben

Hello,
Thanks for your replies. I would prefer to have a separate washer and dryer but dont have the space, even for a compact dryer.
I’ve checked the plumbing and all seems fine – the outlet hose has a tapered section so that you can only put it in the waste pipe about 6 inches or so. Both have failed on the drying cycle.
We went for the AEG as we wanted a reliable make, and the AEG has a 7kg load. Unfortunatly the others all seem to have a 5kg load.
Is there much difference between the Siemens and the Bosch machines? Are Siemens made in Germany?
Thanks,
Ben

White knight dryer?

Thanks for the advice. Didn’t know compact dryers existed, but the good news is I do have space for one 🙂 . This would be a temoprary measure as we plan on moving next year so hopefully will have space for full size units.
Are the white knight compact dryers (model 372WV) for £99 any good? Should I pay the £10 extra for the model with reverse function (382wv)? Do I have to vent to the outside? Or is it ok to use one of the condensing boxes? (I dont really want to pay £270 for the zanusi condensing compact dryer).
