Re: Tips, Tricks & Shortcuts
Stuck countersunk pulley bolts.
Been posted before but Ill add it here to help others as its helped me.
If its snapping your tork bits and is stuck solid. Use a sharp cold chisel to cut a grove in the bolt at 90 degrees, ensure its deep enough because you only get one try at this ususally. Once cut, get something that fits the the grove and give it a few sharp knocks to unscrew. It works…..but maybe best to try a ber before the real thing.

Re: Zanussi soap drawer leak
Wait for this lol. Hope it benefits others. After checking everything twice, taking apart the soap box and clearing all the water channels, also, I turned down the intake pressure a little.Im standing there saying “I dont know what to say to you other than your machines fine”. Bear in mind when Im there it doesnt leak but when I leave and she puts on a wash she rings me in 10 minutes to say its as bad as ever. Well anyway, I ask her to put on a wash just so I can see if something shows up and sure enough it does. She loads 2 washing tablets into the DRAWER.When the water comes in they dissolve a little but not enough, back up the water supply and hey presto leak.

Re: Diagnostic methods.
Hi Penguin.
Im returning to this bussiness after 15 years penguin. Back then I trained for six months then worked for an independent for about a year. Not great experience I know but thats where Im at. I do take your point as regards profit, its just in my case this is the road Ive choosen to go down. Untill I get myself the neccesary training I need I feel the most concensious and professional thing I can do is to continue with the way Im doing it now. The level of diagnostics that you and others that have been doing this for years is huge, it cant be trained or bought. Im sure youll agree. At this stage its a sort of intuition im sure.A quirk you see today in a machine might be similar to problem you saw in a machine back in 98 where you blew 2 modules and tried an interlock but it turned out to be a slight earth lekage on the motor. Bang penguins in out, thank you mam.15 minutes. Next please :), while paddyd is standing there 2 hours later feeling like a fool scratching his head. The temptation at this point is to take the cowboy root and ber the machine. Its not my way and back to the workshop it is with it. I know its not a great model for bussiness and I do appreciate your advice. I would love to hear more about the laptop, how youve set it up and the type of stuff you feel is vital on there. Thank god for the internet, it is a great tool. Anyways its nice to say hello, and thanks for the help on the phillips washer dryer aswell.
Massive respect.
Paddyd.
