Re: zanussi aquacycle 1383w
Chip,
Are you a service engineer I wonder or just ‘in the trade’ in general? 😕

Re: zanussi aquacycle 1383w
Chip,
I think you may be referring to the FLS1383W ❓
More than likely it is a blocked air bell/air hose problem. Also a close inspection of the motor brushes is advisable 😉

Are you sure you meant to post in the Dishwasher Forum 😕
However, your washing machine will involve a certain amount of dismantling in order to do that, I would therefore advise expert help from this stage. Do go into “repairs@” and fill in your details for further assistance 😉

Re: Indesit DI62 can’t reset
Thanks Clyde, I swear though that I did that and recall all it did was bleep back at me! I guess one has to press and hold the programme button a few seconds whilst it bleeps then eh?

No Dave, I’m sure you’re correct. Whilst the daily ‘hit rate’ remains consistent, the number of posts has fallen. So I guess many more people are finding it easier to get the answers within those new forums 🙂

Re: Where’s Richard.
He’s been on the site all afternoon today too, probably reading all about Coverplan I expect!

Paul,
Please tell us how the story ended, or have you now entered into a long and lasting ‘relationship’ with Trading Standards? 😀

Re: Hotpoint WMA44P Motor
Yer see!
One little comment and they are on to me, knives drawn again 🙁
I repeat…..” a pair of brushes retailing at under £30 aint all bad….!”
What’s the problem there? If you can fit them for £15, £10 or even a fiver then fine go ahead!……..”Rip off?” I think not 😛
Ask Brian about the cost if you wish, maybe he will explain to you what I know is the reason. I will save him the bother if you like, here’s a clue……1600474 Brushes sell in their tens of thousands each year and you can buy them at very low prices based on supply and demand. Siemens however have other excuses, but also based on?…supply and demand 😉
Finally, if you can fit a pair of brushes to any and all machines for under £30 these days, you’ll get the job don’t worry, you won’t be ripping off your customer 🙂

der,
You asked the question about Merloni (excuse me, now known lovingly as…INDESIT) only yesterday 😕 Surely you are not thinking of giving up your independence after 15 years on your own???? 🙁
It may be difficult to compare each and every such ‘Sole trader’ but just for the record I have been in this business like you but for over twice as long. A one man band for 33years, just me, my lovely customers and the bl**dy Taxman!
I doubt Tyne & Wear for you is any different than the Thames Valley is for me overall. My patch has a total of over 1 million people of various social and ethnic backgrounds and I’m sure the North East can easily match that and more. So there will always be work for the likes of you and me for years to come, if you can fix it, you will coin it, guaranteed. :tup:
You are your own boss, can take it or leave it, pick and choose. Usually we both ‘take the cream off the top’ every time, a perfect situation we enjoy to the envy of many. I guess the sole reason for your disenchantment is understandable in many ways with the lack of support and technical information for us being the main gripe. 👿
Stick around my friend, stay with it, keep reading the many pages of UKW. We all gather here to help each other out, that is its main purpose after all. UKW is constantly campaigning manufacturers to refrain from witholding information and slowly they are getting the point. The penny will soon drop with them all in realising co-operation and not confrontation is the way to go forward. 😉
So, hang on in there, stay free and independant and you, me and UKW together will be around a long while in this exciting, demanding and above all, rewarding business 😀
