    Re: Questions

    I just superimposed (on the photo that is 😉 ) a silver door on a white cabinet and it looks cr&p 🙁 , so I suggest CHROME the only asthetically pleasing alternative, now that does look good :tup:

    Re: Help on old Zanussi washer

    Pump looks fine, connections OK and the clear tube will likely be the air tube to the Pressure Switch near the top controls!

    Yes indeed! Enough to access the 2~ 10 mm hex screws and the pulleys as previously mentioned (mind though, the edges are unforgiving!)

    Drop the motor out, saves all the contortions required otherwise 8)

    There is plenty of access though on this model even with the back off. (You will find – in due course- that the UKWasher has a similiarly small back panel, but yet offers enough access to do the job 😉

    Re: Indeset Dishwasher IDL 705

    This thread just goes to prove that the ‘fear of god’ strikes the heart of many an unwary service engineer at the mere mention of flashing or non flashing panel lights, error codes, bleeping noises or whatever. 🙁

    AND all this happens long before even checking out the job. 🙄

    Invariably the best way to deal with any such daunting challenges is simply to go there with an open, logical mind, take the panel off and ‘have a look’ for yourself. :tup:

    And leave the theorising to Mystic Meg :rotfl:

    Re: Most ridiculous part price

    A customer of mine has a 5 year old AEG Lavatherm 33600W Dryer and the ‘permanently fixed in the element assy microtemp’ has gone. (couldn’t read the value or replace anyway). So it needs a new Element Assembly (Part No: 1120990286) and those nice chaps at Connect will order one for me for £82 plus VAT (£125/140 odd retail).

    If I now phone my customer with a quote and what the likely delivery date will be, I know what her reply will be

    (Thinks….a UKW Tumble Dryer might not be a bad idea?)

    No! No! tipping the machine on it’s back is not the way to do it. :lesson:

    Tip it on it’s front, back panel off, undo the 2# 10mm bolts with a small 10mm 1/4inch drive socket and ratchet spanner. Drop the motor out and BINGO, easy access 😆

    Easy job, 15 minutes on average to include multitasking lecture to your customer whilst doing the repair on soap powder technology. They will love you for it! 😀
