    We’re straying a bit on the opening theme but as I mentioned before, had Pat-UK actually charged his customer there and then for his inspection visit (as I do – always) He then has license (in law) to remove (in this case the Module) and call back at a mutually convenient date to complete the repairs.

    I trust your engineers raise an invoice on first visit?

    Good question!

    Answer really involves an expert with a toolbox to find out for you 😉

    We have many such individuals dotted around the country that could investigate, just click Repairs@ to find one in your area 😀

    Sort of? I would think although in this case it’s just an advert for a brand of cleaner, so whilst having a kind of link its not quite there for ‘Front Page News’.

    I search high and low for news items and submit many as you know, but I too would love to find more down to earth stuff as Del describes. Sadly very little of that gets publicity I suppose 🙁

    I thought I found a news shattering item last week from the Exeter Express & Echo, “Shopkeeper wealds a club at irate customer!” was the headline, but couldn’t get confirmation as to who down there had flipped :rotfl:

    …still searching for topical stuff, HOLD THE FRONT PAGE !!! :martin:

    Re: Where’s Martin ?

    For 2 days the sun comes out for a change, I get my kit off and frolick around the pool, fire up the barbeque and frizzle me furters. Get pissed as a fart on canned beer and dodgy red wine, stub my toe on a deckchair and fall headlong into the pool carrying a condiments tray onto the patio. Burn my manly features under the hot (92 degree) sun, get told off for not serving the drinks on demand and putting too much chilli in the marinade.

    Get moaned at for not watering the bedding plants properly and opening the windows where the curtains knocked ornaments off the windowsill. Criticised for not recording her favourite TV programmes whilst I’m busy rewatering the plants and clearing up after the skinnydipping saturday night doodah.

    Up to the recycling bins first thing Sunday morning shifting all the empty wine bottles, clean her car before the sun gets up. Prepair for another ‘Fathers Day’ invasion of the siblings, cut the lawn. Act as carpark attendent to ensure nextdoors driveway isn’t blocked with vehicles. Scrape the debris and clag off the barbecue ready for the next ‘stint’, realise the gas bottle getting too low and go to local garage for a spare.

    More folks turn up early, more drinks to serve (“LEAVE THAT POOL COVER ALONE – I WILL DO IT!”)………an so on all weekend!

    ……..and you ask “Where’s Martin?” :martin:

    Fear not its Monday………. I’m back at my station, situation normal again :rotl:

    Re: WD!2 won’t stop filling.

    I have to suggest that the fault may simply be a split in the water level sensing hose from the sump to the water level switch 💡

    Usually the little black hosepipe rubs against the cabinet and gets punctured!

    Cure = New hose ❗

    Sorry then Mickk, but the advice given by me has clearly not helped in solving your problem 🙁 And unfortunately we as trade members are not obliged (for legal liability reasons) to suggest any member of the general public should test,check or inspect any electrical components within any appliance….sorry mate 🙁

    Therefore I strongly suggest you get one of our recommended engineers 😀 to do the repair for you by clicking on this link:- Repairs@

    It is likely that if the new part supplied was slightly different to the old one? Then the support bracket needs ‘tweaking’ to accomodate it in the correct position 😉

    There are no wiring mods or anything else required to replace it as far as I recall 😕
