Re: Indesit WE14
The fault code means a communication failure has developed between the Programme Module and the main Power Module. It does not necessarily mean a part required. I would advise providing us with your Postcode so that we can put you in contact with one of our members who could possibly repair your machine for you and avoid unnecessary expense and inconvenience.

Re: When Adam was a lad!
You got me there Alex, never saw a Thor in my life but they are still very prized in India, Uganda, Namia, Kenya etc (honest.. the same machines you describe are still out there)
I started with the Hoover Single Tub (can’t recall the model) Flip up wringer, no pump just a black hose hooked on the outside you lowered into a bucket.
And we used to overhaul (in our workshop)Hoover 375’s, New Brushes, Belt, Agitator Bearings and sometimes Carbon Brushes all in for £3.2.6d at what is now John Lewis plc. (Oh! and the price included free delivery back to the customer)

Re: When Adam was a lad!
I’m not alone on the old dishwashers then. (I knew Alex would recall anyhow!) ….did any of you guys repair even earlier machine like the Easiclene shown above?…What about the “Dishlex” Dishwasher with the huge Immersion Heater Tank on the R/Hand Side. In the front a huge float water level system with a Lead U Trap Drain Fixing. The Lid switch was a remarkable 1950’s piece of engineering in that it used a Glass Tube filled with Mercury, when the tube tilted to on side the mercury flowed across the 2 contacts making the connection, and away it went!
Large 1/4 horse motor bolted underneath attached to an Impellor you could launch a power boat across the bay with these days!
Alex won’t remember those I bet ?

Register with the Data Protection Agency, no matter how small you are,because as soon as you use the information outside of a personal record you break the law.This is true but come on guys they are personal records thats all!

I get this same Data Protection rubbish every year and shred it with all the other junk mail. It’s yet another scam to take money from you under the guise of conforming to our already overburdening nanny state.(IMO)
At this rate we will soon have to retain our ‘Post It’ notes for government inspection!

Re: When Adam was a lad!
….and you guys in the Midlands who have been around a while surely remember the Swanmaid Dishwasher?( Build in Brum) With its integral immersion heater tank and unique gravity drainage system. The first domestic UK made dishwasher to use a “Spray Arm” instead of an “Impellor”…………….
……..No?…….perhaps I’ve been around too long after all!

If you are a trade member of this site I would advise contacting our ‘Trade Technical Enquiries’ section with your querie, as we cannot deal directly with the general public on such an issue.

Re: wma30
I would ‘ditto’ all that eastlmark says on this one as the likely fault. They are very sensitive to O.O.Balance loads and only attempt to spin twice in a cycle before aborting. The way to tell if it is an OOB fault is that it leaves the ‘Spin Light’ flashing!

Re: Customer Database
Steady Boys!
I started this thread to draw ideas, not blood.
I must say at this stage that penguins database seems all encompassing to a finite degree. (It must take ages to log such info and fascinating reading!)
My simpler MS Works information also keeps me one step ahead, in the unlikely event of a complaint/recall. When my phone rings (I have caller display) I can type in the phone number, just to see if anything comes up before they have chance to talk! And yes, I realise that modern database software does that automatically, Sky TV were first up with that idea some 14 years ago!

Would be interesting to find out if you could penguin? I know Snaplock make a ‘Blind Hole Bearing Puller’ but that is like all Snaplocks products, is far too expensive and next to useless anyway!

Re: HELP! TUMBLE DRYER ON FIRE! HELP! TUMBLE DRYER ON FIR
Hi Judy,
As we had’nt heard from you in a while we were kind of working on the premiss – ‘No news is good news’ kind of thing.
Well you have some news to impart at least so that’s good. I wonder how much influence your appearing on BBC’s Watchdog help the cause along? And of course your article on this site has attracted ‘Google’ high rankings for weeks, so half the world should have read about your case.
And as this case now is ‘public domain’ I wonder if you could send us some pictures (e-mail to me direct is best) to publish on this site?
As always GOOD LUCK and keep posting, soon with a happy resolve we hope.
Regards
Martin
Re: Avatar Images
I think I know what happened with penguins avatar dissappearing!
I have found that unless you access your own “Profile” from “Forums” it often fails to accept the alterations for some reason. (e.g. I you try to edit your profile say from the Home page)
