    Health & Safety? Thin Plastic Tub has to come out of the top?

    Cool it guys, there is an easier way you know, don’t fight gravity, turn it on its side why don’t you?

    Apparently it’s only made out of Tupperware after all. 😀

    Re: ARISTON FD76 oven – replacement bulb and method for remo

    With the oven switched off and the lens cap of the light housing removed, using a rubber-gloved hand, grip the top of the bulb firmly and twist it anti-clockwise. 😉

    As a last resort if it will not twist easily, squirt a little WD40 behind the glass aiming toward the threaded fitting. Leave for an hour or so then try again with that all important gloved hand 😀

    The bulb most likely is a 15 watt SES Pygmy Oven Lamp rated at 300degrees C. Available from many outlets in France no doubt 😀

    You might do well to reconsider? I would not describe our meetings as “formal” rather they be regarded as relaxed, informative, well organised and groundbreaking with ideas and information.

    Many who care about our trade and are the least bit concerned, would do well to at pop their head through the door of the meeting on Friday 23rd September 😀

    Re: Bosch WFF20 Noise

    Almost certain to be a bra wire then (assuming that type of garment was likely to have been added to the washload at some stage?). No easy answer to its removal other than advising you contact a local engineer to extract it for you (not an expensive procedure really). 😀

    We may have a local guy if you click here: –Repairs@

    Re: Candy 150QW Not drying

    Most Candy washer/dryers have a pump filter access at the front behind the plastic kick panel. Start by checking if that is clear and that the pump impellor rotates freely 😉

    I love the philosophical anaylsis gentlemen but does this answer the more down to earth question of wholesale spare parts pricing?

    Lofthouse,

    I don’t wish to put you on the spot by my enquiry and indeed please feel free to ignore this post if you so choose as I will not lose any sleep over it. But pray tell me your feelings please with regard to individual account holders discounts in relating to their respective purchasing levels from a wholesalers perspective?

    Now, in the absence of any correspondence (whatsoever as far as I know?) from other spares wholesalers, I would like to hear from ‘your side of the fence’ as a leading wholesaler? It appears that many independants are more than a little concerned over the varying prices shown for many spare parts charged by wholesalers? Profound expressions such as ‘a level playing field’ or ”one price for all’ and even ‘rip off pricing’ have been voiced several times.

    So many are citing examples of the extreme variation in prices that quite frankly I for one am getting a little p****d off in reading about! I would rather far better get an explanation from the likes of your good-self as to your position in the greater scheme of things. To at least put many readers minds at rest, so to speak.

    Now having said that I believe I already know the answer as to why, however in order to put to rest any doubts others may have, perhaps you may enlighten us?

    Re: Bosch WFF20 Noise

    If when you turn the drum slowly by hand it is a metallic rubbing sound, then its likely a bra wire has caught between the inner and outer drum (can be spotted using a torch usually)

    If the noise happens just whilst its draining, then the is a coin or something rattling in the pump?

    Noisy on fast spin only?…Drum bearings gone!

    Hope that helps ?
