Re: Hotpoint CTD00 Trips out fuse box when turned on

Hi All

Just to let you know I got to the bottom of this problem.

After doing some research (reading the tumble dryer self help bit) and asking the right questions at home, (we have recently moved off economy 7 so my misses was drying during the day and opening the door to see how they were doing) I diagnosed that the thermostat had gone.

I ordered replacements from here for under a tenner and fitted them easily and we are now back up and running.

Thanks

Steve

Re: Indesit D63 keeps tripping out house fuse box

Hopefully you have all calmed down enough to give me some more advice…

I’ve been quoted £55 + vat (£65) + parts for someone off your list to come out and have a look. Considering I can get a half decent (?) Bosch for under £300 is it worth it or am I just wasting money?

Cheers

Steve

Thanks Jim

Right I’ve been away and read the articles which are very interesting! The article with recomendations is now a bit out of date with broken links but I get the idea of the kind of machines that are recommended.

I found a “Bosch Classixx SGS45C02” at the co-op for a touch over £250. Would I be right in assuming that this will be much much better option than an Indesit.

Obviously I realise that I need to spend > £400 to get a top quality machine but with my budget that just isn’t going to happen!

Re: Indesit D63 keeps tripping out house fuse box

OK Guys thanks for this you all make good points.

So what kind of brands should I be looking at that are the better ones and how much more should I expect to pay to get the extra quality?

Just to put things into perspective the last two I’ve had were both Indesits the first lasted 9 years and the second 7 which I’m pretty happy with.

If you are going to be talking more than double the price of the indesit I’m going to take some convincing that I shouldn’t go down Mikes route and get another Indesit with a 5 year warranty.

Cheers Steve

Jim.

Thanks Jim

I suppose the big question is it worth getting someone out to check this out when I can get a replacement Indesit for under £200?

Re: Daewoo FR-631ND leaking water into bottom of fridge

Yes the problem is that the water is still appearing. I’m mopping about half a cup out every other day.

All the rear of the unit is sealed an inaccessible and the only access is through the back of the inside of the freezer.

I’ll try to see if I can see the drain and check for blockages.

So assuming I don’t get anywhere am I just better off giving it up as a bad job or is it worth trying to get someone who knows what they are doing to come and have a look?
