    Re: Washing machines. Zanussi vs Siemens

    Thanks for your comments. Will take your advice and go for a Siemens.

    It’s a no brainer, Siemens everytime. Don [end quote]

    Bit rude that Don thinks I’m brainless. The reason I asked the question was because I know through experience that many of these ‘famous’ brand name appliances are all produced by a ‘few’ manufacturers so many of the working components are the same and main differences are often cosmetic. :rolls:

    Re: Scandinova UFF238W Upright Freezer Control board.

    Think the board is too badly damaged to be repaired. As you may know these modern boards use surface mounted micro components that are difficult even to see let alone change.

    So I am still looking for a new board…any further ideas anyone?

    Paul.

    Thanks Spimps but I have already tried that and only come up with really useful things like ice cube moulds, egg racks, bottle holders etc, no nitty gritty hardware!!

    Hi kwatt,

    ((hot fill is pretty much redundant))

    This may be the case in the cities and urban areas but in the rurals many house-holds have suplus hot water being heated constantly by Agas, Rayburns etc, often like us, all year round.

    We do not have mains electicity and rely on diesel generators and a wind turbine for electricity so immersion heaters, electric kettles and elecctric heaters are to be avoided.

    It would be nice to have the choice as to the methods of fill. It is just another case of the manufacturers cheapening their machines without passing the reduced cost on to the consumer. If some people want cold fill only it is just a matter of combining the hot and cold hoses with a ‘Y’ connector.

    ((should you choose to run the hot tap to get hot water to the machine to fill it is wasteful for a start and on top of that pretty much defeats the point of an *automatic* washing machine.))

    Washing machines are not really ‘automatic’ anyway, you still have to put the clothes in, put in the powder and rinse aid and select the program etc so why not run off the hot tap as well. How lazy can you get?

    Re: Hot and cold fill washing machines.

    Thanks Dave and Lyn for that.

    Yes it is certainly going to waste energy by heating water from cold when hot water is available in most house-holds that have central heating etc.

    Another case of people ‘paying lip service’ to energy saving but having negative effects.

    By the way what an interesting and useful site this is. Many thanks to those who run it.
