    Re: Ariston Margherita 2000 – I also have a problem!

    Problem with the water level control. Check pressure switch for function, air hose for blockages/holes.

    Power off if doing this yourself.

    Re: Tricity Bendix Multi cooker

    Going to need the pnc number, Millie – there are 4 versions of this machine. Also worth noting that the oven appears to have 2 thermal cut-outs, so you’ll need to identify which one has failed. Power off, of course.

    Worth getting the motor checked out – if the carbon brushes are very worn all sorts of strange things can happen, including the screeching noise.

    Power off if have a look yourself.

    The circulation pump is p/no 1509782-00/7. Last SSP I had was £76.15 + VAT.

    Whilst it is possible to strip the motor apart and renew the bearings (they’re generic), this will be a wasted effort if the seals are not renewed – and they are not listed as spare parts……..

    If No. 1 son is capable of fitting the pump, I would suggest ordering through spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk – Dave’ll be able to get the pump to you pretty quickly.

    M328 exists – can’t find M329 anywhere.

    Depending on the programme Sue, it may or may not take hot water – most 40c progs are cold fill only. First thing to do is ensure that the water is running through the correct slot in the drawer. The water is directed by a steering mechanism on top of the soap box. This may need adjusting.
    Pop up the model number for more exact info – starts M—- under the pump flap or on a label around the door opening.

    It’s probably leaked water into the undertray, the constant noise will be the drain pump running; activated by the flood protection system. Draining the undertray will reset the machine, but obviously the leak must be located and rectified.

    An engineer is probably your best bet – it’s an awkward machine to work on. Power off if investigating further.

    Motor brushes probably worn. You may need these:

    Re: IPX4???????

    I think if you look hard enough it’s on all Italian appliances.

    I wonder if IPX1 is “not waterproof to internal leaks”? Or even “under any circumstances”. The codes must start somewhere and seem to demand more protection the higher they go.

    Re: Bosch Service

    Open it? I thought that this was amongst our “raison d’etre”s? Open it and stir it…..

    A long time ago, I ran White Goods Spares for Comet. Our margin on any spare was 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} – we doubled the price. If it was pennies, 26p was the minimum price (I told you this was a long time ago) – this could come to as much as 750{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}! If the repair was chargeable, the service department was quite likely to double it again.

    Anyway, clear evidence that we’re being ripped off? Or shall we accept that stocking, storage, stock control, handling and dispatch really put the price up that much?

    Personally, and with first hand experience, I don’t think so.

    Re: IPX4???????

    I have just read the article again (properly), and feel that we should persuade the Indesit Company to uprate their product to IPX7 (waterproof to 1 metre). Then we could test the product to destruction in seconds……… Well, at least for those customers with swimming pools, anyway.

    Hmm… Would it be testing, disposal or a mercy killing?

    Chris.
