Re: Bosch SGS69A02 dishwasher bottom arm not spraying
The stuff you can get on eBay and the resourcefulness of some DIYers never ceases to amaze. It is true to say that in this case that the gearbox and cam are put under load by the sheer pressure of water. The tiny motor cannot cope under the strain. Likewise the nylon gears wear equally and the whole thing dies as does the water shaft seal. There are only two realistic long term options, either to replace the complete (new) heater unit or scrap the machine.

There’s nobody based in Flitwick hence why no map comes up. However you are shown on the Luton map and Google lists you as covering Flitwick so you’re well represented on there. Google is your friend.

Yes and yes 😀

The “quality” was never in doubt, a Swedish tank of a machine. ISE Ltd by contrast had their doubters and the rest, as they say, is history.
My sympathy is toward Kenneth Watt who’s trading record has seen yet another company fail. Let’s hope 2015 will turn his bad luck around. 😀
Re: I bought an ISE 10
The whole ISE project was a comedy from start to finish. A tragedy though for the many who bought into the so called ‘ethos’. It started with a lie, a rebadged Arcelik/Beko that, we were assured, had larger more substantial drum bearings and was built to their exacting specifications. Independents were drawn into the concept with the generous service pay outs and sales mark ups.
To the Swedish tank with its 10 year guarantee. Grossly overpriced but sold on the strength that it could easily last 20 years. Comparisons were drawn that if you divide the initial cost by the projected lifespan then you couldn’t buy any other washing machine for such a little investment. Independents once again bought into the scheme.
Fast forward to 2010 and observers could see the wheels were buckling under the weight of the many negative vibes posted in the trade and public forums. Complaints were piling in and emails disappearing into the ether were commonplace. Visions of ISE HQ Service Desk collapsing under the weight of the IN Tray were all too apparent.
4 years on and the dream has died though the comedy continues. ISE HQ has closed and it’s staff dispersed toward an uncertain future. It was they and only they that knew how it worked. That knew what went wrong and the truth behind the insurance funding.The directors of UKW Ltd were totally oblivious to what had happened. They’d trusted the staff of ISE to manage the company and when the money all ran out took it upon themselves to fire the staff and lock the door. Comedy or tragedy? That depends on your viewpoint I suppose.
The meeting at Coventry could be interesting and the ISE story continues.

Try turning the power off. Then touch and hold the start button as you switch machine back on. 💡
Re: Neff B1524N0GB/03 oven door hinges locked in place
Using a pair of Molegrips simply pull the retracted lever back and carefully place the ‘Locking Tab’ in its locked position. Once the tab is locked (see drawing) then release the Molegrips lock. Mind your fingers…..!
Re: Bosch WFF2001 Washing machine will not start most progra
You need to check out the valve as I said earlier. Yes it is in the machine and connected directly by the hot feed pipe. Assuming it is faulty you will find it a doddle to replace.
Re: Bosch Exxcel 1200 S Express drum not rotating freely

Power unplugged, remove the belt then check again the orbital rotation of the drum. If the drum spigot is cracked the elliptical movement has only to be fractional in order for the drum to rub against the door rubber. An it will usually only strike one spot of the door seal each time.
Replacing the inner drum and bearings regarded as somewhat uneconomical. 🙁
Re: Bosch Exxcel 1200 S Express drum not rotating freely
In that case I refer you to my previous post as to the diagnosis.
