I remember seeing a Philco catalogue of all their euro products a few years back when 1200 was about the norm here and most were 500 or 400 rpm the kind of speeds we havnt seen since the 70’s. Guess a bit of sun dries the stuff better and in no time.

    The suns the usuall method as most of the poor beggers can’t afford a washer 😥 they seem very happy with life though 🙂

    I saw a few Whirlpool models over there; these were the same as the models in this country, Italian jobs.
    I worked out the price and they were retailing, approx £110, in this country the same machines were being knocked out by the sheds at £350
    Now work out the shipping costs, which is the closest to Italy?

    Are we a bit gullible in this country 😳

    Provided they are not built in!!! :rolls:

    Did one of these last week, the guy was boiler engineer so I asked him to get the appliance out, big big mistake, he damaged the drain hose and the fill hose. The drain hose had to be fed behind a cupboard and my arms ain’t long enough ( I’m a viking not a monkey, before you comment 😆 ) if he had tied a piece of string to the hose it would have saved a lot of time. 😕

    Last time I ask that question again

    Re: Indesit WDG1095WGUK door interlock

    Hi Jim

    Thanks for the info, WDG1095WGUK is on the plate 😕 I will forget the “UK” part and go for WDG1095WG

    This is an absolute puzzle, the interlock that is fitted is a “rold” not the TEXA S type, as I said each time I order one under 011140 It arrives as a TEXA S 😥

    Connect’s web site specifies this part no. as a Rold and says that ” This part is a rold type interlock and not the old texa s type interlock. This part will not fit models which use the texa s type interlock. If more are info is needed please contact merloni direct”

    Looks like a night of pulling out hair 😥 Mal

    As a footnote, why will this forum page not allow you to use the word Tex as? the only way I get the info accross is to leave a space in the word

    Re: A Warning

    We have all had the odd shock, complacency every time. Never trust the customer when they say they have unpluged the machine, guarenteed they have switched off the kettle or toaster!!!!! Sorry ain’t good enough when your dead.

    Volt stick every time particulary if hard wired. A plug removed is absolute isolation and inform them you will not work on the appliance again if it is not fitted with a plug.

    You’r the one doing the risk assesment not them 😉
