Re: Bosch better than Hotpoint, ‘Really’ ?????

I bet even that old timer broke down every 30 months or so in its 15 yrs. Their regular failure rates and ultimate “fixability” meant Hotpoint was a trade favourite, likewise so we’re Bosch. Not so these days. Bosch have gone the way of the rest whilst Hotpoint were there years before. A triumph of modern technology, not, but genius mass marketing strategy they truly have become.
Re: Zanussi ZWG7160P drum paddles
Generic don’t help much as the ZWG series stretches back 10 yrs. The ZWG7160P ‘blades’ (as they call them) are removed by removing the top counterweight. Once removed you have to drill (11mm drill bit) through centre of the two circles moulded in the tub to access the screws holding the blades in place.
Then you’ve got to plug to holes with plugs (part no 50288048007) and silicone. 🙁
Have fun!
noisy machine
Drum bearings shot the most likely cause of noise. Is it noisey when you spin the empty drum?
Bosch better than Hotpoint, ‘Really’ ?????

Nothing today is what it was yesterday. Clearly Jim’s customer flogs the living day lights out of her machines and as such 30 months is the best most makes can endure these days.
I would still recommend Bosch at the price point they are marketing their stuff these says over the likes of Zanussi and Candy. What users do to them after is of no surprise to me.
What do you recommend as someone in the trade without at some point it comes back to bite you? ISE was a dream turned ruddy nightmare leaving nothing to fall back on in order to leave reputations intact. So what we are now left with is a future of ‘disposable’ white goods that survive the guarantee period and to a point just beyond “reasonable wear and tear’. Their economic fixability less than 50/50 but massive volumes sufficient to prop up the ailing repair trade.
It ain’t what it used to be, never was, never will be. Though what has changed meanwhile is that the manufacturers are flogging more of them now than ever before. Every other house in any street has a dishwasher and a fridge freezer. Many of those same households are on their second or third generation washing machine. Such is life in 2015 and today is tomorrow’s yesterday.

Wiring harness adjacent the door hinge, sticking float microswitch and safety-inlet valve all can cause similar symptoms.

Sock stuck in the sump hose? Pump knackered (lateral play in impellor)? Motor arcing?

Very very unlikely. 🙁
