Re: Extraordinary DASA Meeting
There are some companies already paying £30 a call.
This is what happens when large companies such as JTM,0800 and Repaircare enter the market, they do nothing for there huge fees and Engineers are stupid enough or desperate enough to work for them.
If all three went under the Engineers doin the work would still excist, be able to offer a better level of service and make a decent enough living.
The only way to improve the situation is to get rid of the middlemen and give DSG no other option but to either employ directly or negotiate with repair agents directly all several thousand of us.
Now which company is going to take over all of them and tell DSG here is the price, take it or leave it.

I hate technology.
The PDF file is too large, I can’t work out how to delete some pages to reduce it or move them.
Looks like I’ll have to rescan them, I’ll try a bit later. 😳
Re: Hotpoint wma loose bearing !
I did a job for a small firm who had a recalled Hotpoint, same issue, they bodged it 8 months previously and I had to bodge it again using an epoxy metal stuff, no doubt in 8 months it’ll happen again and be someone elses problem. :rolls:
Just glad I wasn’t the client who paid £150 for sh88 work.
If the bearing is loose and you want to do it right, change the drum, if not advise client of a repair, don’t guarantee it and charge less.
Otherwise your takin a punt and that may come back to bit you.
Re: americanf/f

sorry to jump in, I was wondering if the service manual for the Daewoo f/f show how to dissassemble the Ice maker unit in the door. We’ve got a different model to work on, but there maybe the off chance that it might be the same.
Regards
MervThe one I got shows only the Ice trays and simple tells you to “Pull forward ice case and lift up a little to removethen pull ice cubes maker”.
It is a manuel fill and not done via a water supply into the rear of the unit.
Re: americanf/f
I’ve got the Daewoo info for mod FRS-2021,2041 and the Electrolux ERL6797xs.
Only one is 110 pages and the other 128 pages.
I’ll try scanning the general stuff , PM me your E-mail and I’ll send it there.
Re: americanf/f
Have been doin American ones for several yrs now.
Electrolux ones are the worse, Daweoooooo ones not to bad, Samsung are easy, but not designed to work, so plenty of recalls.
Biggest issue is over icing in freezer, same issue as F/F, ice dispensor issues, such as water coming out when it should not, ice not forming correctly and valves going o/c.
Not really much different, although Electrolux seems to like big PCB’s burried under the cavity. :rolls:
Re: Espares getting despirate?

😮 who,s taking you for a chump,thats only £20 per job,you should get at least triple that.Profit, by defintion the remaining amount after all costs deducted. :rolls:
Once an appliance has been isolated and a drop test still shows a leak, its not much time involved.
We don’t repair pipe work and every tom dick and harry round my area has done a gas course, so call outs are low as there are so many to choose from.
Thanks to the govt now giving out grants to people to retrain, the market is swamped.
Re: work dead
Gas servicing is not really worth the financial cost.
If you pass this week you still have to pay the £480 to register with Gas Safe, which is the full 12 month price, yet you only get 9 months, then you pay some more.
Plus the equipment, reg books.
Most gas hobs now cost minus £150.00, gas ovens/cookers are getting rare, there are no gas tumble dryers.
Most faults that are gas related are getting less, most of mine are leaks under guarantee caused by faulty installations.
I get around 3 a month gas jobs and I make probably £60.00 if I’m lucky on all three jobs.
