Didn’t I hear something about them pensioner bus passes being a victim of “the cuts”?

Or have you found somewhere that repairs them for a tenner? 😯
Mike.Re: Bosch SMS50E02GB/02
Had similar thing last week. Seemed to me that the flow changer wasn’t switching the flow between the spray arms as it should. I stuck a screwdriver down the hole and I seemed to get it to move once but left it that it might require a whole new “instantaneous water heater.” Customer said it has worked OK since my visit, though. Could be there’s something down in there jamming the revolving blanking thing intermittently.
Mike.Re: Compressor relay
Is it a ptc (solid state) relay or a solenoid type?
If solid state, there should be a few ohms across the ptc at room temp IIRC and a closed circuit between common and the third pin (check Danfoss one to compare). If coil type, open across top contacts until energised.
I think you may still be able to get other universal ptc relays smaller than Danfoss. I’ve got one somewhere, I think, though it only has two pins.
Mike.Re: Early Hotpoint t/d metal air duct TDL30 etc.
Arrgh! After finally managing to get the thing via Yodel’s home delivery service which took about five days from the time it actually arrived in this town, I opened the box to find a plastic duct.
So, on the phone I gets and some other operative picks up this time, less patient and helpful than the one in sales last time. So it turns out the info I was given was wrong and those six metal parts don’t exist. 🙁
They’ll refund but they’re afraid I’ll have to go to the post office and pay the return carriage. I sighed and put the phone down feeling a bit miffed.
Have since done a quick google and sent them this e-mail:I am returning the air duct as I was supplied with a different part from that ordered. (I had been told when ordering that there were six of the obsolete metal versions of this part in the warehouse – this turns out to have been incorrect apparently).
Your operative told me on the telephone today that I would be required to pay for the return carriage. This contravenes consumer law as described on this page:
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Governmentc … /DG_183048“If the wrong item is delivered or it’s faulty
If you’ve been sent the wrong item or the item is faulty, you can return it and ask for your money back. In these cases the seller must cover the cost of returning the items.”
I can post it standard parcels for £4.41. I have already addressed and re-sealed the box.
Please get back to me by e-mail as soon as possible to confirm that you will be abiding by the law, as the item is taking up space on my premises. Waiting in for a courier collection would be inconvenient as I am seldom at home during the day.
Yours Sincerely,…
Will update when and if I get a response.

whats going on? 😕Could be you have a drain pump which is not operating consistently. This could either be due to a partial blockage or possibly something like coin intermittently causing the pump to fail to start. Or it could be a worn pump – remove and examine for play in the impellor bearing. Or that could be a complete red herring! Welcome to the world of washing machine repairs! If you enjoy frustration, this is the job for you!
Mike.Re: neff cooker door (b1542n0gb
If it’s siliconed, you need the black high temperature stuff to put it back together and it takes about 24 hrs to set. Tough stuff though.
Mike.Re: how do you get a bosch dishwasher apart?
Re: Where’s everybody gone?
I don’t see what people are fussing about. I can scarcely remember what the old version was like. I never got round to using all the features on that – don’t even know what they were. In the couple of weeks this version has been live, I’ve adapted to it without any problem beyond the odd double-take and I know that if I ever get round to it, there’s a lot more I’ll be able to do with it.
One thing I like in particular, is the fact it fits on my screen laterally so there’s never any need to scroll to left or right. With the old one I remember sometimes having to scroll to see whose post I was reading.
Mike.
