    My full stop ends the sentence and bears no relationship to the following sentence. The term “there” refers to the person in charge, the decision maker.

    I’m an honest person. I call it as l see it, I’m not always correct, but I’m fairly sure I’m not the only person that would perceive your comments in a negative manor.
    Us experts sometimes don’t fit inferior components, even if the client insists what they read on the net as being inferior is in their uneducated opinion, us experts within our fields are the best judges and not always out to con a person. I would also not question your expertise in your field, l fear you would also take a negative opinion if l did.

    If you re read my post l did not state you’d give it to the engineer, when l stated “there unlikely to fit a compressor you supply” l was referring to customer service.

    They would be in breach of there own terms and conditions. It would also cause issue with a few acts of law.

    As for vastly inferior components that is subjective, price and opinions often don’t reflect reality. I once attended a call to a person you remind me of, he would only buy German products. His Bosch tumble dryer had failed, the stat had gone open circuit it’s a common fault found on White Knight dryers, it happened to his Bosch because and his comments concerning White Knights inferior products made it all the more satisfying because he had indeed purchased a White Knight dryer, it just happened he bought the Bosch made by them, although it did cost a lot more, but contained the same specs and inferior components. I was tempted to point out his washer came from the Spanish Balay factory and is sold in Spain under that brand for around €200 less or that his fridge also came from Balay in Spain or his Neff ovens and hob also came from Spain. In fact the only relationships his products had to Germany was the word Bosch written on them.

    I’ve also replaced many faulty Danfross compressor’s.

    There unlikely to fit a compressor you supply. Your more likely irritating them, the Eng will arrive, decide the repair is not viable and you’ll both part company.

    I fear one more relieved than the other.

    I wouldn’t make the assumption your unique, in fact you have a very common personality trait found amongst a lot of middle aged men and one that professional’s meet daily.

    It will work until the ice builds back up, l suggest you call a professional now before that happens, it’s easier to access components when not encased in ice. The only reason a frost free builds up ice is due to defrost system not functioning. If you don’t follow my advice and fill it with food you risk loosing it.

    You’ve paid money for absolutely nothing.

    £65 that is expensive, a large outfit could go much lower than that.

    As sure as pig’s shiting the changes to your policy would not have happened if there was a possibility they could be challenged.

    As for your Danfross compressor there is no reason to replace it unnecessarily, having said that it’s done 8 yrs work, how much further that continues, who knows. They do fail. Due to the size of lok ring joints needed on Danfross comp it’s more likely a Turkish made comp would be used, plus the comp would also be much cheaper option.

    This is why, as with any purchase a full understanding of the product is essential. Not all policies are bad, in fact, many customers receive very good service. It’s usually the ones who understand this process that gain the most.

    As for solicitors, policies are standard and written using extremely competent people, so your average high St peeps unlikely to find anything. They will likely point out how transparent the contract is, ignorance is no defence in law.

    Your terms will detail what will be the outcome if BER is deemed necessary, although this used to be a solution it is nolonger an easy option as since all businesses are under pressure financially a repair even a compressor and PCB is unlikely to cause BER as both can be purchased for less than £70 and pattern, reconditioned parts are options or parts have been previously ordered, paid for but not fitted, essential free.

    If the engineer wants to BER, his option would be to monitor the system and deem the system as blocked or leaking internally, both are viable in your case, it’s not unusual for Bosch pipework to corrode internally.

    The engineer would not be the 1st engineer that assumed the clicking was a seized compressor, only to find out afterwards it was the PCB. The clue is indeed in the observations of the client stating the unit worked with the doors open.

    If a systems engineer calls, l would expect he is used to misdiagnosis by the non system engineers and would carry our checks & at least fit the PCB 1st and run the appliance whilst he goes to another call and then return to check temps etc.

    Or if it the company I’m thinking he’ll fit both as quickly as possible & blame any recalls on the 1st guy.

    Re: Whirlpool ice maker

    By not making ice. You mean their is no water entering the tray or the water is not freezing.

    As much info as possible please, personal opinion is a waste of breath.

    You wouldn’t march into your Dr’s, state I don’t feel well and expect a complete diagnosis from that, or maybe you would, which isn’t going to help you.

    As for the get out of jail, that’s in response to restrictions placed on engineers by people above them making rules without any understand of the job role. 21 days to repair, no parts, no tech info, no product training & if it is the company l suspect then the guy will have very little experience & knowledge.

    You may also not be aware that some policies when a replacement appliance is required do not state it will be a new appliance either, goes down well the people who insist on a replacement.
