IZettle has daily, weekly or monthly deposits. Daily means the money is in the bank within 3 days of taking the payment. Monthly and weekly are handy as well. 1 time they’ve been late by a single day and they emailed to tell us straight away there was a problem. I can’t fault them.
Re: how and have i been lucky ?
If you have a neutral fault or a switch cuts the neutral feed rather than live, then it’s still going to be getting a live feed to it. Door open, on/off switch is irrelevant in these cases as when you touch it, you are acting as the neutral.

NoRe: BEKO TFF673APW
Could be any number of things. Fan, defrost heater, sensor, thermal fuse, pcb. Could also just be a buildup of ice. Low on gas would be one of the last things I would guess. Really need more information ie is it iced on the evaporator?
Re: Samsung WD1704RJN
I’ve stopped using Connect for backorders as a few were not available, yet when I went onto their site a few weeks later it was actually showing as in-stock. One of them was a van stock item so I left it for about 2 months just to see when they would release it and they never did until I contacted them about it.
Re: Card Reader
We have multiple engineers all using IZettle and have never had a single problem. I’d definitely recommend them.
Re: samsung rl34scps locked buttons
The board will not respond if there is an error code present.
What exactly is showing and what display section is it showing on?
Re: samsung WF431ABP
These machines have 4 struts, not 2. It is pretty normal for the tub to look lower at the back, wouldn’t worry about that. What is the actual problem you were having with this?

Just had a quick look. First impression was nice site, but no mention of where you do business. I know you have a service area page, but it’s always better to have a blurb on the home page with what you do and where you do it.
I’d also have a read through for spelling/grammar issues.
“We understand if your busy” should be “We understand if you’re busy”.
The guarantee page is difficult to read as it’s just one long string of words, but should be multiple sentences.
I would also look at the following as it makes it sounds like your charge per hour, but your FAQ says it’s fixed labour rates.
“we do not charge a call out fee, but we do charge for the time spent looking at your appliance.”
:tup:
Re: Electrolux EWX147410
Yeah, it can cause a blank display and sometimes comes on after an hour or so if you leave it. Turning the dial to dry and back sometimes kicks it in. Obviously check it with a megger to confirm though.
Re: NEFF: U1661NOGB/02 FD 8201 Oven Door not shutting tight
Sounds very like a problem with the hinges and/or hinge receivers.
Re: Bizzby.com
Been contacted a few times by them, normally for “2pm Wednesday” type fixed time jobs way out of our area.
From our short discussion with them, the “fixed price” is labour only. I told them the term fixed price was used for a total cost and would likely end with others refusing the work, they obviously didn’t take that onboard.
They wanted us to use their app to log when we arrived and left, with any payments for parts etc to be taken through their app as well. We told them we were not using their app and they agreed to do it by invoice. Job ended up being cancelled by the customer though so never actually carried out any work for them.
Re: Google Adwords
One other thing that is no doubt hampering your site is the size.
Your page size is about 3.81MB which is absolutely huge. You want to get that down to about 10 times smaller than that ideally. The good news is it shouldn’t really take that much, you just need to optimise your images.
If an image is showing on a slider that is 200×200 pixels, make the image that size. What you have is a slider with smallish images showing, but the actual image in the background is huge. That means your page needs to load the large image, then scale it down to show it, which all adds to page load. One of your images is just under 1MB and to put that in perspective, that one image is 4 times the size of my full home page including the HTML and all images and I have a slider with multiple large images on it.
BTW, I’m pointing all this out for your benefit, I know it sounds harsh but I don’t mean any disrespect. I used to be a web designer and I am still a programmer/appliance engineer so I can spot the problems from a coding point and also from someone who knows your type of business. It benefits you to make your site as good as it can be, otherwise you can have thousands of hits and not get any sales, which is just as bad as not getting the hits in the first place, or even worse if you paid for those visits.
There are a load of tools which can help you find problems so if you need any help, let me know and I’ll help where I can.
Re: Google Adwords
Agree with Martin, you definitely need to spend time on your site.
Google Adwords is great if you know what you are doing and how to optimise a site, otherwise you will spend a fortune and get nothing from it.
A few things I noticed with your site:
– Your site is coded to a fixed width which Google is likely to penalise for. Take your website in a browser window and make the window smaller and smaller. You’ll notice the scrollbar appear. What you need is a responsive design that adjusts based on the device, so on smaller screens you see differently laid out content.
-Read over your site, parts of it don’t make sense:
We can help fix or service all your home appliances including
Why choose Kent Appliance World?– Gallery has 1 image and a blurb that is not even relevant to a gallery page. What is the benefit of even having the page?
– Tumble dryer repairs appears in your menu only when you hover over washing machine repairs. If I hit your site and never hovered over that, I’d assume you never repaired them.
I was only on your site for a few minutes and I noticed all of the above. Imagine what a customer would think. Basically you need to take a step back and look at this from the eyes of a customer. If you visited your site, would you understand everything and want to use your services?
