Re: Trojans
AVG have released a couple of fix’s. Sadly I got done before they released 😥 AVG has always been good, it found a virus that Norton couldn’t
My theory is that its the anti virus companies are creating viruses so we have to buy new versions of their software 😈
Re: Can Hotpoint get any worse

The machines are being made hard to repair unless you happen to work for Merloni and even som e of their engineers struggle at times getting info.
K.Anyone thought of asking them if they are “”Practicing restrictive trading from a dominent position”?
I did this with another manufacturer after they refused to supply me with info, 5 mins after I emailed them I had what I wanted

All we in this trade can do is to constantly remind people to not allow children anywhere near these potential lethal devices in the first place. Very recently, after I personally pointing out to the authorities the dangers of the latest range of Indesit Dishwashers. An appliance where that little 2 year old can easily reach inside the base of the machine and grab the electrics within……but hey! that’s another story that ended with fobbed off shed loads of cattle poo from those that could have done something about it 👿When I first brought this to light several years ago BEAB were not interested for the very same reasons you are quoting. The media (“watchdog” and Julie Finnegan’s, we can work it out) on TV, were not interested because they had no records of this being a problem, basically this was not “programme” material unlike the Indesit door problem which gave them good mileage, (blood, batter and kids) they were rubbing their hands.
My only hope is that everyone takes this subject onboard, and we at least advise those parents that let their kids play with appliances. I don’t suppose any of us would sleep at night if there was an accident and we hadn’t said anything, would we?As an afterthought, could UK Whitegoods have a page on the web site to list the dangers that we as the trade know about?

You’d have to just happen to be doing a boil wash, just happen to have a failure or power cut before the wash is done and just happen to have an unattended child near the machine. I fancy I’d get better odds on winning the lottery than all that from happening. Don’t get me wrong, it’s possible, but then anything is possible but it strikes me as being highly improbable.
K.
I saw a child (2 year old ) do it!! fortunatly the machine hadn’t been on long so the water was not to hot. Some parents could not acre less what their children do, but thats another story. My point is we are in a position to make sure it dosn’t happen, and do we not have a responsibility to do so? most parents are horified when its pointed out to them, or maybe we should be like the rest and stick our heads in the sand and say nothing, I dunno one child hurt is one to many

I reckon yours is Oct 1977, If it has the Amythsyt (Purple) door.
Makes you wonder why some people can get this longevity out of an appliance (use not abuse) plus the quality is better than the c**p they are producing now 😉Re: wm 63,the price of euros.

Re: OVEN STAT 47TH21J5
Dave A bit of a problem here, the stat is still in the cooker 30 miles away! I never took it out and looked at it just wrote down the 47…. no. of it. Have fitted these before, never expected such a price hike!
The cooker is a Creda 49721, I shall try and find the circuit diag. it should give an idea of the contacts, shaft size will be fairly standard and I think its fixing will be a single nut 🙂
