Re: Beko WMD 66165 stops after few minutes
If it’s brand new call out Beko, that’s what your guarantee is for. Make sure you’ve removed the transit bolts first though – if your machine is moving on spin it sounds like you’ve left them in.
Re: Are washer-dryers any good these days?
If you do a lot of drying you will be much better off with separates, as well as saving lots of energy. See http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/buying-ad … dryer.html
Also, having a washer dryer in the bathroom is definitely a bad idea. Apart from the risk of electrical shock, condensation will do no favours to the already unreliable Indesit electronics you’re considering purchasing.
Re: Electrolux toploader doorseal changing?
They’re very simple. Use a screwdriver or fine nosed pliers to push the two parts apart to release. To reapply, use bent fine nosed pliers to push the two parts together, using the indentations at either side for the plier ends.

When I spoke to Hotpoint they said the only way to do it “properly” is to replace the rear tub half. They didn’t like my response, needless to say it wasn’t polite. Doubt my skills will they.
It’s not a case of doubting your skills – most HP engineers will replace rear of tub because for the few quid it costs HP to make a tub, it’s worth saving the bother of knocking out the rear bearings – with all the risk assessments and H&S rubbish it brings.Indies replace bearings because the cost to us of new tubs is too high, plus the pain of storing them vs. storing a couple of bearings!
Re: Impatient customer
I always ignore the phone before 8am as I want a bit of peace and quiet with a cup of tea – but this morning I had TWELVE missed calls from four different people!
Re: *** Important *** WTA /UKW Meeting Fri 25th Feb
Hi Lawrence,
I will be there but not booking a room as only coming from Oxford. Really enjoyed the last one and would encourage anyone who’s unsure to take the plunge. They’re really useful and a good chance to catch up with what’s new in the trade.
Re: Miele error codes – can you or can you not reset them?
clockworkone wrote:very interesting post andy.unfortunately i can throw no real light on topic.its just that got a call today from a customer that has a miele w/m in her shed that is leaking after cold snap.displaying inlet fill error. was quoted 88euro for valve from miele so do not want to get caught with it. surely they would not sell me valve and then expect cust to fork out for miele engineer to come and clear fault code.will fire off email in am to area rep and see what he says.paul
Always worth checking them before fitting too – I’ve been caught out twice fitting genuine Miele valves which have failed within a few days of fitting. You’d think for £50 they’d be decent, but judging by the boxes they’d been sitting on shelves for a while, presumably with Miele engineers getting any new ones.
Re: Ariston A1636 – unresponsive – flashing lights
With a few exceptions (Amica being one), something cheaper than an Ariston would be doing well if it lasted you three years!
Re: LG WM-1375FHB
Sounds like you put the plug on the interlock the wrong way round, shorting live and neutral. Very worrying since you’re apparently repairing washing machines for money… hope you have good public liability insurance!

You know what they say – “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” ;). I know you shouldn’t need to but your repairer will be dealing with scores of parts every week, a quick call to put you back on his radar is always useful.
Re: Creda T620CW Poor Drying Performance
Have you used a multimeter to check the element and wiring to the element?
Re: Impatient customer
I had a call at 10pm this Sunday night – Amica I sold with guarantee fault.
“Sorry, you need to call Amica.”
“But they’re closed and I’d like it fixed this evening, I have washing I need done for tomorrow morning.”Ironically the customer’s name was Ms. Payne… and she was a pain ;).
