    Re: Whirlpool AWO/D4505 stopped working after building works

    No clues there I’m afraid. Check the heater, a wire may have come off? 💡

    Thats ‘normal’ for a White Knight, the new AEG far quicker and hence more efficient. (About 65 – 70 mins for a full load)

    Sensor dryers have been around for years. A well establish and reliable function overall.

    That old White Knight Bosch is a great workhorse. Probably just needs a new circular element. Cheap to fix too! 😉

    What repair guarantee do you guys give on domestic machines used on commercial premises?

    How do you cope with that washroom urine smell anyway?

    Without question if you can accommodate.

    They are pretty good machines.

    Good luck with that one but I would be suspicious of any Miele dryer getting on the S/H market…..avoid that option.

    Re: Tumble dryer buying advice

    Condenser dryers are high maintenance low reliability. Heat pump dryers over engineered and mega unreliable. Bosch vented are OK for the most part but Miele is THE way to go by far, if you can afford it. Well worth the investment for the long term.

    I’m not sure there are many parallels between the white goods trade and the Football Association are there?

    More coins in the pump? Pump inlet or outlet hoses blocked? Pump knackered?

    Remove and check the impeller. If blocked then clear it, if impeller damaged then new motor best option.

    Check the interlock wiring is OK. Check the circuit board for potential door interlock triac failure. Check wiring between circuit board and interlock.

    Re: Nice one Dom

    Here’s one for Jackal:

    Under the Cancellation of Contracts made in a consumers home or place of work Regs 2008 and within the sub heading Specified Contracts it refers to the supply of goods to meet an emergency. Who defines the term ’emergency’ the contractor or the consumer?

    In this specific case of a faulty fridge where, and unless, it is repaired on the spot it will defrost and the contents lost. Is that not considered as an emergency? Or a cooker that doesn’t cook, a washer that doesn’t wash, are they not considered as ‘an emergency?’

    Nevertheless the trader must always, and without exception, get the consumer to get that in writing using the following example :

    I/we agree that …………………………………………………… [trader’s name] may commence work on ………… [date], before my cancellation period has expired.
    I understand that if I decide to cancel within seven days, I may be asked to pay for any work that has been carried out prior to my cancellation.
    Signed………………………………………………………… Date………………

    Footnote to all this……..I believe (I heard somewhere) that the 7 day cooling off is being extended to 14days!!!!
