kwatt wrote:What can we tidy up/amalgamate in the way of announcements within the public forums, or can we?
I can change the Domestic Appliance Horror Stories back to a normal thread to give a bit of space at the top for a start as it is getting crowded at the top I agree.
kwatt wrote: Is it worth considering a forums solely for announcements advice with locked threads? Would anyone bother to read it?
I applaud the idea in giving as much information as possible to all parties using the site.(and my god there’s a bloody load of it for sure) but we have to make it not only easy informative reading but above all, concise. A seperate forum with all this locked advise may be the way to go rather than a minority of visitors finding this advise in the navigation bar?
I hate reading ‘the small print’ on any document and you guys know full well that only 5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of customers actually RTFM so we have not got to go too overboard on this. I guess Ken is getting a little nervous also on behalf of UKW limited and its potential liability situation which is understandable.
How about new locked forum entitled “Handy tips & advice”

Re: Teacher no common sense
A customer of mine was very dissappointed at the short life her fan oven element, fused out in less than 18 months 🙁
I explained that wrapping aluminium foil around the 2 wire shelves had almost certainly contributed to its shorted life by causing uneven air flow throughout. 😈
Whilst I was removing the foil and replacing the element and conversing with my customer (at the same time…yes, even I can still multi-task 😆 ) She happened to mention that she teaches at the local comprehensive school. When I enquired as to what she taught, she replied…. “Home Economics!”

Re: Repairs@
Kevin’s post “Look at what your missing” certainly proved Ken’s frustration over those that actually HAVE registered (i.e. Panther/r600a/Sparkey) :rtfm:
….. and Dave acted out the part of ‘Wet Nurse’ for them in the end 😯
Just goes to proove though what we are up against here 🙁

Re: candy cic60 wire came off of timer unit?
londonboyz wrote:so where did the advice about the wires come from ?was it just a guess ?
Guess??? No we’re not in any guessing game here, but I quoted you the wiring connections for the model number you gave me. It transpires however that the Timer unit has since been replaced (apparently)on later models (such as in your case) Sadly, Candy have not advised us/me of the new wiring modifications for it. 😥

Re: zanussi ZSF6120 Problems
Sounds as though its not taking in any water? Check the supply is not turned off or the inlet hose filter not blocked with silt. Beyond that you need to contact Service Force and get it sorted under warranty. 😉

Re: heat pump tumble dryer
Having downloaded and studied closely the PDF file (thanks to Martin 114) on the theory of the heat pump dryer. I cannot ever imagine such a device being produced in the UK and for the UK domestic market 🙁
Having first hand experience at the implementaion of heat pump technology used in domestic and commercial swimming pools. They are extremely expensive to buy, very slow and cost a fortune in electricity to run….only for the rich with big wallets.
The PDF file shows exactly the same principle being used only in a more compact form and presumably contained within a 600wide 600deep by 820 high cabinet?????????….impossible!!!! :rtm:

Re: Hoover Nextra HNL2126
goose wrote:The next question concerns spin speed. It doesn’t seem to spin well. It is after all a 1600 spin speed machine. The moisture content after spin (per cent dry load) is given in the Hoover leaflet as 44 per cent which I don’t really understand.
Francis,
I’m surprised you are dissappointed in its spin performance as 1600 rpm is a heck of a spin speed after all. The 44{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} bit means simply that at full spin speed it is capable of extracting water from the fabric to such an extent that on completion of the spin cyle it will weigh just 44{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} more than its dry weight 😯
So next time you wash say, your towels, weigh them (dry) before you put them in and on completion weigh them again and they should be no more than 44{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} heavier 😕 A good set of scales and pocket calculator are a must for this to work of course. 😀

P.S I have altered the heading of the thread to include your HNF3167 😉
Re: CREDA TCR13 – CONDENSER TUMBLE DRYER – WATER NOT IN TANK
jas_ilford,
Removing the rubber plug at the back my allow a small amount of water out, clean the short length of pipe with something like a cotton bud. But it’s more likely that the machine is not heating rather than any blockage?
The door latching device has been known to be a little tricky to latch and a replacement Remote Latching Device (Part No : 1702000) is not very costly should it need replacing?

Re: Siemens Dishwasher
Helen,
Yes indeed there may be something caught in the pump? Dependant on the model you may be able to access the pump yourself (see user guide).
Other than that we need further info regarding the model number etc 😉

Re: Currys couldn’t install?
Dave_Conway wrote:It’s to protect themselves against dodgy taps, wastes and sockets I would imagine.
Oh I see now!…..the “in-built risk assessment factor against unknown elements” eh?….Currys management probably tell them… “If it looks dodgy lads, don’t do it, just walk out!”……fair enough 😀
I hope she gets her £24.99 back then thats all 🙄
(I wonder what their charge is to install an ‘integrated’ washing machine :rotfl: )

Re: employment with merloni
This Merloni thread is far better reading than any Agatha Christie novel :lol2:
Enslavery, corruption, extortion, deception, death and debauchery and we’re only on Chapter 2 :rotfl:

russt47 wrote:i was told not to use it for a couple of days whilst the tray underneath dries out , if i did then the ECO 45 light would light up
That’s only marginally possible if the engineer didn’t bother to dry out the baseplate in the first place having disconnected and replaced the heater unit 🙁
Ah well! Thanks for letting us know and hopefully you are sorted now albeit at a price ‘cos Hotpoint engineers charge OTT service rates ❗
