Re: Bosch WFL 2260 wont take conditioner
Thorough cleaning of dispenser drawer required for Syphon Action to be effective, not too much of a problem 😀
Re: Hotpoint WMA 63 fill up then empty
Almost seems obvious to me, it’s Hotmerloni, wanted two days to be as far away from it when it was put back into use 😉
Re: A choice of 3
Of the appliances you list I could only recommend the Bosch but much depends on how you intend to use it and what you are prepared to pay.
Do you have six children and is the machine going to be working all day every day? Under these sort of circumstances Hotpoint IMO, 6 months, major repair required, LG Similar, Bosch would probably cover it’s 2 year guarantee without repair. For total peace of mind and excellent service, it may be a few pennies more but check out the ISE Machine.Re: Servis m9090 washer dial clicks round
There is a specific programme reset procedure for some of these machines that should be detailed in the user instructions, if the programme is interupted at any time, the machine needs to be reset. Power down without the correct procedure may not reset the machine. Check user instructions. If this fails it’s probable programme controller fault. Best look at an ISE, Quality, Reliability and such good service!!!
Re: servis m3102a-s noise problem
I agree with Martin on this one, the engineers quote of £130 was probably very good and I would imagine it was the engineers intention to replace the back plate and bearings as a complete assembly. It’s what I would do, the bearings and seals on a lot of Servis machines can be a bit of a nightmare to remove without the right tools resulting in damage to the back plate. Furthermore, you won’t know what condition the Drum shaft is in until the back plate is removed, if that requires replacement, cost of parts alone, almost = new machine. 🙁
Re: A truely modern customer?
I agree 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}, what I have found on some occassions is that clients are pricing parts themselves, not necessarily to do the job themselves but to ensure they’re not being ripped off and all credit to them for being so astute. The price of parts from some manufacturers and manufacturers call out / labour charges are making them of a mind to buy a new machine. We need everyone to be aware that Independent Service Engineers are possibly the best source of advice, UKW being the best. By the way I want some Van Livery, how do I get it? 🙂

Didn’t you just know this was going go up in the view count! 🙂
Re: A truely modern customer?
I suspect this client, like many I visit, has become aware of manufacturers component pricing. Clients aren’t as ignorant of these factors now, primarily due to “surfing” and I believe or at least hope manufacturers will ultimately have to be more realistic with component prices. Surely when manufacturers become responsible for disposal of their old appliances this may be something they’ll address. I had to replace a door seal on a fridge freezer last week, client insisted on OPN not universal kit and then haggled price. As an exercise I priced every component part to build this model of fridge freezer, pricing did not include the main carcass, as no price was available, labour or sundry items. My client’s £389 fridge freezer would cost me in parts alone to build over £1900 plus VAT. Crazy world :haier: Here’s one for the Rumour Mill: Merloni are developing an inflatable washing machine, use once and throw away. Apart from inflatable not a lot of development then! 😉
Re: Bosch or Stoves ?
I do all the cooking at home, the wife thinks the kitchen is something that came with the house. Fortunately, the wife works equally as hard as I do and does all the ironing so I can’t complain. Got to be PC nowadays! There is no real rule of thumb, you can use conversion charts but ultimately time and experience of using the appliance will achieve best results, it may be ages before you get your yorkshire puds right again 😥
