I’m not at all sure as to whom you seek to argue, or why? What exactly is the point you are trying to prove? What good will it serve trying to define what is a fixture and what isn’t? The ruling on that has already been made.

That connector block will only fit in one position due to the grooved guides.

ParticipantRe: Bosch Bearing failure WAQ48460GB
Simple answer, no chance and any recourse toward anyone. Bosch like Hotpoint? Nah, Bosch bearings last several weeks longer.

Likewise you missed my point of your point, that, even with local independent advice and guidance, when it fails the after sales has NO POINT!

I couldn’t disagree more with you. The level of incompetence with manufacturers after sales service across, all marques, is appalling. Dominic Lawson’s tale if woe all too typical of what transpires all day every day. Manufacturers own agents armed to the teeth with hi-tech computer analysing equipment then concluding that even the computer doesn’t know what’s wrong. Add to that the realisation that a spare part is nowhere to be found across an entire continent….!
I like the expression he used about Electrolux “….an amorphous European conglomerate”
What point is there in anyone doing “research” in order to buy a replacement dishwasher these days? All makes should at least work when you plug them in and if they don’t getting them repaired or replaced should be a simple straightforward process. This one account typifies the state of the white goods trade.
Even ‘top of the range’ dogs danglies stuff goes wrong. Just look at what has happened to those poor buggers that have actually done the “research”, have sought help from those of us in the trade as to what to buy. Even gone out and bought it from a local independent, shelled out big money on the goods, now look what’s happened?

ParticipantRe: Washer dryer recommendation
mymumsserfer wrote:I’m looking for a washer dryer that allows me to do a prewash, but which can be made to automatically stop after the prewash and add further washing. It’s for cloth nappies, which I’d like to get the worst off before adding shirts etc..
Fiona you bring to mind visions of soiled terry towelling nappies then add a few of your hubbies shirts into the soiled mix….yuck!
Firstly, nappies should always be washed separately on the hottest cycle after first being soaked overnight in sterilising powder. For hubbies shirts a far different cycle is needed for that and you will need to check the wash label on each shirt to determine the correct one. (e.g Cotton 60deg, Synthetic 40deg).
Again seperate dry cycles are required, see the care label on all garments as some CANNOT be tumble dried.
As for which make? The choice is yours, non of which do a Prewash that stops as far as I’m aware anyway.
