    Water flows throughout the dry cycle. The valve is 240 volts so caution is advised :zap:

    Some foreign body (hair grip, collar stiffener, limescale deposit?) is rattling about in the pump I would imagine.

    Think positive, you bought ‘middle of the road’ so you could have done far worse especially the junk they palm off on ‘Black Friday’ (heaven spare us from more Americanisms) 🙁

    Questions About Bosch Exxcel WAQ24461GB And Bosch In General

    You bought Bosch and seek assurance you bought right. It’s a Bosch, German designed and built, whether that be in Germany, Poland, Spain, Turkey, China, Timbuktu or Teddington it’s still a Bosch.

    Sealed drum or a drum that comes to bits is of little concern. All you need to do is use your new Bosch according to the user instructions provided and all will be well.

    You bought the cheap end of the Bosch ladder so fingers crossed you’ll get a year or three from it. 😉

    Re: Smeg SUK81MX: Oven not working

    Thermal cut out THE most likely I would think. It will involve isolating the oven power and removing panels so not a DIY job for the uninitiated.:(

    You’re not deluded at all Rob, in fact your assumptions pretty spot on. The motor industry was subjected to massive government and EC lobbying by their various trade associations in eventually securing a level playing field. In that same time frame motor vehicles became more complex to maintain and expensive to replace. Whereas white goods have gone in the complete opposite direction, cheap, shoddy, simplistic contruction techniques guaranteeing short life cycles and increased consumer demand for replacements.

    White goods manufacturing giants operating multi billion dollar worldwide manufacturing and distribution. Huge corporations with far reaching and influential interests spread across the globe.

    If your car or truck breaks down you need to get it fixed, there is little or no no option. If your washing machine fails however various options are open to you. Although, and thanks entirely to those clever manufacturers, they have produced a product that is cheap to buy, gives an average life cycle of 4 -5 years and easy to dispose of. They even have contributed to the cost of disposal, a win win situation for them all the way.

    Consumers were instrumental in getting the motor trade to wake up against the various rip-off manufacturers. The many trade associations and consumer groups combined to rectify that situation through government legislation. White goods consumers on the other hand voice little concerns. That fact so emphatically demonstrated by their lack of concern over the many and various life threatening incidents of appliances catching fire. 100’s of 1,000’s have on going recall notices yet only a fraction are rectified.

    The ever hungry consumer demand for cheap appliances marches ever forward, the supply limitless.

    Secondhand dishwashers are a risky purchase at the best of times. So, as long as you can afford wasting your money on something that may fail in the not too distant, then go for it!
