Re: Help on old Zanussi washer
Got to be duff and I would have thought the US market have Askoll (220v 60Hz) type pumps available at stockists in the States?
Re: Awkward Customers
I won’t say anything Craig on that 😉
‘Mrs Woman’ will be a new slant, not for kids either 😉 😉 😉
More….shall we say…what the engineer/window cleaner saw.. 😀

They were Hanning pumps Chris if you referred to me? I have had no problem with Askoll or Plaset pumps ever.
(This thread will beat Evren to the finish I am certain)
Re: AEG door gasket problem
Once you have the front panel off, lay the machine on its back. Then smear loads of washing-up liquid on the seal lip, place it in position and with finger and thumb action follow the seal around holding it from the outside as well as the close guard inside applying equal pressure all around the 360 degrees. Once in place, invert the seal towards the inner drum and run the spring around!
Refit the top hose and away!
Tricky but the washing-up liquid is your lifesaver! 😀

Eh George you got me thinking on that – canny lad! 🙄
Since Richard Hargreaves snuffed it and all, I don’t think he thought of the “Mrs Woman Books” did he???
I thought of it first though don’t forget….tomorrow I’m going to be a millionaire…………must ring my agent now….BYE!
Re: Bosch w/d WVF2402gb01 leaks on dry
The most common problem is the inlet hoses rubbing against each other or on the cabinet and puncturing 😉 The condenser unit is a bugger to access properly and clean without fully removing, then putting it back requires caution as the bottom hose is attached from inside the drum (so be careful you don’t dislodge it!)
Best of luck and I hope for your sake it’s just a punctured feed hose?? 🙂
Re: Hoover AM120 Washing Mc
Relay contact burnt out on module :tup:
Exact symptoms in this case Steve (trust me?) so take your soldering iron and a bit of solder. (Change the brushes whilst you’re there 😉 )
Re: Awkward Customers
Well let me see there’s the…..
Mrs Nosey type that stands over you and watches your every move.
(solution = a simple assurance to the customer that a little space and privacy to work alone favoured and that the work will be dealt with and the problem assessed as soon as possible and she will be informed the moment any news is forthcoming.
Mrs Miffed type that’s convinced you didn’t fix it properly last time you called 18 months ago.
(solution= be one step ahead when calling back on any customer to establish the past history should any ‘dispute’ arise. By stating that you are unaware of what was done last time just lends fuel to her fire!)
Mrs Humble that’s so sorry to call you out and hopes you can fix it whilst having a cup of tea.
(solution = None, bless ’em, if only every customer was like it eh?)
Mrs Grumpydrawers thats swears she hasn’t done anything wrong and demands a new freezer ‘cos she’s broken the door handle.
(solution = replace the handle free of charge and walk away, she knows she was in the wrong and won’t pull that one again!))
Mrs Awkward that insists someone calls after she returns from work at 6:30pm.
(solution = tell her that the next available ‘6:30 slot’ is in 3 weeks time!)
Mrs Dork that didn’t realise the washing machine had a filter after 4 years of use.
(solution = get her to clean it thoroughly and put it back in place whilst you make out the bill!)
Mrs Frightfully-Posh who’s is livid that her silver cutlery is ruined after using her brand new ‘washing-up machine’ for the first time.
(solution = sell her a ‘silverware cassette’ to place in the cutlery drawer next time.)
Mrs Stand-Off who declares she is not paying one penny until she has tried the machine out for a few days.
(solution = firstly ramp up the charges then get her to sign the invoice as to when she intends to pay by?)
Mrs Pride who insists on dust sheets to protect the work surfaces and floor coverings, and woe betide if you scratch or damage anything.
(solution = play on this one, these are my favourite customers, play their little game to the full, take your time, hit them with a big bill.)
There’s thousands of others George I could tell you about 😆
Re: Help on old Zanussi washer
I am certain from looking at both avi files, the pump is underpowered and it must relate to being on 60 cycles rather that 50 🙁
Has the old pump ever or never worked since you took the machine to the USA?
Re: hotpoint diswasher
Do please double check the black rubber hose is not blocked or indeed perished as that is the main reason this happens!
Also, next thing to check is at the top of the water tank where the PVC fill hose connects, the nozzle scales up and gets restricted. That forces more water to fill through the vent, thus overfilling!
Take that PVC hose off and give the nozzle aperture a poke clear 😉
