    You also need to repair the wiring…… If you can’t do this safely, click the link below for an engineer.

    Power off if fixing it yourself.

    Never mind the manual, pull the plug on this appliance NOW! There is nothing which should be making sparks in any diswasher.

    Re: It’s dead!

    So I said to the wife, “I’ll do a few jobs between Christmas and New Year”. 10 yesterday, 12 today, 8 in the book for tomorrow…….

    Which bit of “a few” was the problem I wonder?

    Undertray flooded, flood protection switch activated by polystyrene float. Drain undertray to reset switch, find the leak.

    Power off if investigating, or click the link below for an engineer.

    Not surprising really – the rest of us use a mug, not the saucer 😀 .

    I wish it were true. This site is owned, run and maintained by the UK’s independent repairers. We receive no support or help from any manufacturer, and the advice which we freely give out to all posters is just that – independent. Given that between us we maintain all appliances of all makes, we have various informed opinions with regard to all makes. We try to give honest opinions, for your and our future benefit. If I may be blunt, if your Bosch goes wrong in a few years time, you will have a far higher chance of finding an independent repairer to solve the problem than if you go for the LG. We will also have technical support and easy spares availibilty from multiple sources at a sensible price.

    Re: LG Washer dryers

    Ok, listen carefully, we say ziz only once. Washer dryers in general are adequate washers and poor dryers in comparison to a stand alone tumble dryer. The drum is too small to allow the clothes to fly properly and thus allow the hot air to move through the load easily.

    If you are intending to purchase the machine for family use, it’ll drive you nuts. 1.5 hrs for the wash. 1.5 hrs for half a load to dry. 1.5hrs for the other half a load to dry – 4.5 hrs to process 1 load of washing. Electricity bill horrendous – you will be using energy equivalent to running an electric kettle for 3 hours…………

    If you really don’t like the Bosch, go for the Zanussi – the dryer works reasonably well. Don’t be seduced by spin speed, you gain nothing over 1200 rpm except spanking the components in the appliance even harder.

    Just bear in mind that the combi machines are a compromise, extremely complex and a bit of a pig in a poke.
