    Yes 🙂 Right the first time 😀

    Not the rinses or spin, just the wash 😉

    It reduces the wash time on Cottons & Synthetics by 20 minutes approx :tup:

    Don’t panic!

    I have just posted this up as an example 🙂

    But it just goes to illustrate a point here. Ken is working very hard indeed to ‘fine tune’ this site so ALL will benefit. Not much point in advising the public to check out our ‘Directories’ listings if few actually bother to put their names in there.

    Who the hell covers Bournemouth anyway? And why aren’t they in there I wonder? 🙂

    Give Ken a break and good reason to go to all this trouble eh? 😉

    Re: Bosch 2260 door seal

    George,

    Best get one of our lads to check it out 😉 , go into ‘Directories’ and type in your postcode, speak to a local guy there 🙂

    They are good machines and well worth looking at but not at Bosch’s prices OK!

    Re: Bosch 2260 door seal

    George,

    Are you sure you haven’t overloaded the machine in the recent past and something got caught around the drum and seal as a result? (i.e. Bra wire, coins etc)

    Is the inner drum running true or twisted in relation to the seal fixing?

    Some of these machines have suffered a loose front drum plate in my experience. Easy to tell if you answer no to my last question 😉

    We will await Chucks reply and I will accept the challenge as I have fixed one 3,000 miles away before now on this very site 🙂

    Fats,

    Sorry I forgot that your machine had a Programme Display panel. I which case no wonder your confused as I was talking about another model . 😳

    You have checked the pump and cleared it out, fine. Have you fully ‘reset’ the programme I wonder, check user guide on that. Also it is not filling or at least erratic, could be a water inlet valve playing up? Really stuck for ideas on this otherwise without and engineer checking it out, nothing more I could advise.

    Chuck,

    I wasn’t aware Kenmore made a machine for the UK market 😕

    Or are you asking about a USA made model, perhaps even in the USA maybe 😉

    Steady on Dave don’t put yourself in the firing line on this 😉

    Generally it is best we do NOT put the general public in touch with the 3 companies. They are indeed trade only (preferred but I think most will fix anyones Timer or Module 😕 ) as the trade fully understands the position regarding how to deal with other likely aspects of repairs involving Modules and the repercussions etc.

    Those we have so far mentioned getting the repairs done have been pretty isolated and almost certainly they would’nt be able to fix them anyway (i.e The De Dietrich Oven Module recently I recall?…bit of a no no that one I reckon)

    If you take on acting as ‘third party’ for the public, in getting there duff Module fixed for the sake of a little ‘mark-up’ I think it hardly worth the agro, handling costs, postage etc. etc. Not a good idea.

    As for the three companies concerned I agree with Dave’s comments. QER very expensive but loads stock. EMW very efficient, no probs on returns etc. HJM cheapest of the lot, very good, not a great stock and also not up with the latest problems (i.e Indishit Modules etc 😉 )

    Re: Hotpoint 9555P – fault code EE – help !!

    You are clearly not put off by our comments. If you want to get the Module/s (there’s 2) checked out, look at EMW listed on this site (They fix them/test them!)…See Weblinks 😉

    Siemens is the parent company of Bosch, so effectively the same series of machines but different badge 😉
