You are at the top of my Christmas Card list!

New cooker element arrived today, fitted in about 40 minutes.

Less grumpy wife = happy husband 😀

Thank you so much for your help.

Re: insurence replacement for zanussi fl 828? what do u thin

Pauldobbo

I think you are being a generous fella. New-for-old policy and no claims in 14 years and now you have to put up with being messed about!

My suggestion would be to indicate to your insurance company that you have taken advice from Citizens Advice Bureau and require the following:

1. A mid-range machine to replace the old one
2. The cost incurred in the purchase of same
3. The cost of removing the old machine
4. The cost of installing the new machine

I suspect someone on this list would be willing to provide an estimate for you and that sounds like a bit more than £250.

Your call.

Re: Miele – Stupid question about install

iadom and gegsy

Thank you for your replies. I have concluded it is supposed to be there, but looks a bit flimsy for a permamnent feature.

I believe iadom is correct in suggesting it is to prevent burns (as this is a Washer/Dryer – WT2670).

Appreciate your help.

All the best.

Re: Miele WT2670 – Good choice ???

Quite agree, thank you for the information. I was really trying to find out if those of you in the business (selling / servicing / repair) had any comments about the Miele in terms of reliability / problems. It seems there is general agreement they are fine machines. Of course, it will have to pass the wife test!

Thank you all again for your comments, and to Goatboy, no problem. If you think you’re grumpy in the morning ….. 🙁

All the best.

Re: Miele WT2670 – Good choice ???

Dear Goatboy

I am sorry if you feel offended. Certainly, your posting is offensive and clearly intended as such. If that is your idea of helpful, free advice, it is not mine.

I merely asked if you knew something useful about the specific machine I enquired about, such as gegsy has kindly done, albeit, its a lift of the product spec. Your posting did not even refer to my original question, you simply offered to sell me something else – no thanks.

If I wanted a Siemens, I could buy one and have it delivered for £505. I am interested in the Miele WT2670. If you know something about the reliability of this machine, please feel free to share your ‘free advice’.

I realise many of you help us without making money and I for one am grateful. But, you suggested selling me a machine for about £95 more than I can get it for and didn’t even mention the Miele, so frankly that’s the sort of ‘free’ advice I don’t need.

By the way, I have now purchased a Miele from a local retailer, who was helpful, polite and able to offer a competitive price.

Thank you to all those who have offered helpful comments.

Ian.

Re: Miele WT2670 – Good choice ???

“Siemens WXD1260 – Goatboy will do you one for £600ish “

What a gent! I’ll do you one for £550, including a large box of washing powder and a bunch of flowers.

Now, do you know anything useful about the Miele WT2670, or is this forum your shop window?

Ian.
