Re: Hotpoint New Wave 5 – Stinky.. and flooding.
Just a thought….leaving the soap drawer slightly ajar will likely stop the leaking by the way :tup:
Save money by using powder, much cheaper than liquitabs anyroad up 😆
Re: Hotpoint New Wave 5 – Stinky.. and flooding.
Hotpoint? or Hoover?…I think a New wave is the latter.
No matter, same problem can affect both makes. “Liquitabs!”……YUK, don’t use ’em!!!
Use powder or powder tabs instead. Doing a number of 60 degree washes will help disperse the strench, also clean very carefully all the folds and crevices of the Door seal 😉
The Dispenser (on a Hoover New wave) has been modified to overcome leaking problems (design fault) and if you go to
Repairs@ some local company can fit the mod for you 😀Re: whats the most expensive tool you own
Megger (Metrohm actually) about £250 and Loop Tester (similar cost)!!
Essential gear for all to carry really :tup:
Re: John Lewis
Ermm! rather confusing 😕
Certainly the washing machine range IS Zanussi, so too the tumble dryers by their looks, the dishwashers do look like Bosch? and the fridge freezer? dunno Zanussi perhaps??
In their advertising all the John Lewis brands are quote: “Manufactured with reliable German technology they are developed with the latest engineering and electronic systems.”
So maybe they are made at the old AEG factory in Nuremburg (shortly to be re-located in St.Petersberg. Russia). 😯
So rather than and further guesswork on these products I think I will ask John Lewis’ PR dept for clarification 💡

He’s ticked all the right boxes in my book, give the guy the benefit. Who knows he may turn out to be a great asset to us all. Besides if you have record of his home address and phone number, what’s the problem 😀

🙄 Lots of ‘experts’ from all over the place on there, non of their nicknames appear on UKW, unless they have chosen another aliases that is 🙄
The site never comes up on Google search though, makes you wonder where they get the correspondents :con:

The MAKE and MODEL NUMBER of the Cooker Hood would be best 💡

It’s the water level control you need look for. (A Pressure switch connected to a thin black rubber hose) That hose or switch may be your problem??

In fact tell your rep that ‘Identiffier’ is working as I reported on a short while ago. And lets hope this subject isn’t added onto The Rumour Mill as well, ‘cos it’s all over this site in various forms as it is 😯
Re: Is WashVac’s site down?
iadom wrote:If I try idenTIFFier [sic] I get a warning that the sites security certificate is ‘invalid’ ❓
Dunno :con:
But one vital ‘addendum’ to my last posting, those that continue to use ‘Stocklink’ will be invoiced the ‘Stocklink Price’ BUT if you order via the new Parts Center site instead you will be invoiced at a much higher price. :lesson:
For example, just received a DHL parcel from HRPC and when I reconciled all the parts via both systems the Stocklink price will be £85.58 + VAT but had I made the fatal error of using the Parts Center website to order these same bits, I would have been invoiced £102.18 + VAT 🙁
Re: Is WashVac’s site down?
Well I have just had chance, now I finally got the Parts Center website to work today, to check it out 🙁
Oh Dear! 😥
Everything relies on you knowing the Parts Center Catalogue No? Without that knowledge you could try ‘Keyword search’ 😕 (Though platting sawdust is slightly easier) Try just typing “Hoover” and you get 300 pages of parts available (including Baxi Boiler Bits listed under Hoover??) Type in any hoover model number and you get : “Sorry, no matching products were found. Try again, or, if you’d prefer, we can order it for you!”
Using their “Identifier” is a breathtaking experience of confusion and wonder. “GC Appliance number?” haven’t as yet figured what the hell that’s all about but hey! Try the Manufacturer tab instead? Loads of boiler bits, friggin’ thousands of boilers really (and I never knew that?) but very few whitegoods except Hoover, Candy a few White Knight’s listed even was thrilled to see Ariston listed (though that too was just boiler bits again 🙁 )
I looked up “White Knight CL447 Tumble Dryer”, lo and behold a single page PDF file came up showing the cabinet area (not drum or electrics pages). Click on “View Parts List” and all the parts come up. Choose a part then “Add to Basket” and one gets a error that says : Could not communicate with wolcen2 on port 2004 😥
Stikes me this “Wolcen2” is not someone you should mess with :rotl:
Ah well!, it was such fun trying Identifier just the same :rotfl:
So before I go kick nextdoors cat off my flowerbed, I would sum up the Parts Center website in just 4 words….BUY YOUR BITS ELSEWHERE!

The ‘hardy perennial’ of a servicemans gripe, can be most annoying especially if they draw up a chair and watch you like a hawk all the while.
Top 10 ways in which this can be overcome:-
1) : Stop what you’re doing look them in the eye and say “Why don’t I give you a shout when I’ve fixed it? “
2) : “This won’t take me long, meanwhile could you keep an eye on my van, its got lots of expensive gear in there and the alarm doesn’t work!”
3) : “Leave this to me and you may carry on with the housework, the hall carpet needs special attention I reckon!”
4) : Print off an A4 sized notice in red ink and place it on the floor “Health & Safety Regulations: DO NOT CROSS THIS LINE – MAN AT WORK!”
5) : “Best keep well clear of me lady, I’m just getting over Chickenpox!”
6) : “Could you stand by the main fusebox and when I shout, hit the switch!”
7) : “Stand well clear please, this could be messy?”
8 ) : “There’s a suspicious looking character across the street, you might like to keep on the look-out for I reckon?”
9) : “Whoops! Pardon me?…too much garlic last night!”
10): “This model always makes be swear, best keep well out of ear-shot!”

Dinka wrote:You mean something stuck in the tube? What should I do? Can I fix it without calling a technician?
Remove the pump cover again, check the impellor carefully (using a torch is advisable) and with a pair of tweezers/pliers remove the black rubber ‘flap valve’, clean and refit.
That should sort it 😀
