Re: fridge-freezer removal

Thanks Martin, also for the spelling correction on the title!

Reason for asking, I haven’t got a van, and don’t want the expense of hiring one . . .it’s also a very tall fridge-freezer and I’d need a Luton body jobbie to keep it upright

OK so I’m prudent and economic, maybe just plain frugal?

All the best,

Tony

Re: Us of PTFE Tape

Hi Greg,

Just finished a new kitchen and had a Corgi guy put in the new hob. He taped the non-compression fittings but not the ‘olive’ versions. I know this is ok for plumbing, cos you see the leak if it’s not tight enough (!), but I’m just a tad nervous that he should have used PTFE throughout . .. . .???

Thanks,

Megavolt

Re: Whirlpool AWM 6110/3 – ‘Nasty smell’

Thanks Greg,

Bought some Ariel this afternoon. it’s the Bio stuff in the green packet as mentioned in Dave’s article. If you see a green cloud forming over the Great Yarmouth area, I might have overdone it . . . .

Now, about that inlet valve . . . .

Kind regards,

Tony

Re: Whirlpool AWM 6110/3 – ‘Nasty smell’

Hi guys,

Many thanks for the tips.

To answer your questions:

1. We have a stand pipe drain connection.

2. We always use powder – usually Tesco ‘Colours.’ Is that ‘best’ powder?

3. Checked out Dave’s article – thanks for that. We have not been used to maintenance washes – never used them before . . but propose to carry out several in quick succession right now and then keep up the regime.

I have also noticed the cold inlet valve lets in a small amount of water overnight, which as suggested may be a source of smell, even thought the machine is used daily. I’ll be relacing it, but it seems to be quite a ‘special’ and a universal one does not appear to fit.

Any more sugeestions are most welcome.

Best regards,

Megavolt
