Re: Hotpoint 7801 Dead?

Sounds like the doorswitch has gone in style. P/no 1800551 is the p/no – an email to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk for pricing and ordering. Power off if removing the door outer to check – beware of the door edges as you can shave with them.

If you’re not sure, check the link in my signature for a UKW engineer.

Re: zanussi fls1185qw spins flat out at start

Right, so you have one of 3 problems:

1) An earth fault through the motor which will effectively bypass the electronic controls. A megger will be required to determine properly.
2) The tacho coil itself has failed – no circuit when metered.
3) The electronics themselves have failed.

Probably time for some pro help – check the link in my signature for a UKW engineer in your area.

Re: Indesit WD12 drainage/noise problem

If it spins freely, the impellor has broken the drive to the motor shaft – new pump time. Details above if you think you can do it yourself, or check the link in my signature for a UKW repairer.

Re: Indesit WD12 drainage/noise problem

With the power off……. Check that the impellor turns. It should resist and then “Ping” round a quarter of a turn at a time. If it is stiff, or if the impellor spins freely, the pump is damaged and needs replacing. You could run “Drain” with the cover off and check that the impellor is revolving…….

If you need a pump, this is the one you want:

Its the principle of the matter
Why should i pay over £200 for a product.
Its like buying a pair of curtains with a hole in the middle of them or they have discoloured. Great!!! they still work but you wouldnt settle for the flaws so why should i with the dishwasher?

£200, less than a weeks wages. Just cast your mind back. How long ago did you buy the previous machine, what did it cost you at the time, and how did it compare to your earnings at that time? Machines have cheapened rapidly in the last few years. We all want as a consumer society to be able to pay less, but we forget that these things are price driven and somewhere along the line there will be compromises. The quality of the plastics would be an example.

So what can you do? reject the product, what would that achieve, another machine identical, same problem. So, upgrade perhaps, spend another £150 and then find you could have the same problem.

Regards the analogy with the curtains, yes if there was a hole, a retunable or reject situation, as you don’t need a spy hole. Again if discoloured as you bought the curtains for the aesthetic effect. Yet with the D/Washer it was bought to clean dishes; something which it seems to able to do, hence the removal of colouration from the goods. Plus the fact that the only time YOU see this is when you load/unload the product.

Honestly I cannot see what the fuss is about. A cleaning session with finish D/Washer cleaner will improve the appearance somewhat, and you could just rinse off any plates/casserole dishes that were used prior to loading.

Sorry if this does not seem to be a positive response, but it is something you will have to live with, and won’t affect your life in any shape or form.

Start here:

If that doesn’t solve it, report back.

Power off if going underneath.

Re: AEG Favorit 50730 Dishwasher

The machine has leaked into the undertray. Whilst draining the undertray will re-activate the machine, you need to find the leak.

As a good quality appliance, it would definitelty be worth having this investigated. Check the link in my signature for a repairer.

Power off if investigating further.

Er, no it isn’t. You’re the first person to use that phrase, and you’re the only person debating it.

Basically, give them a chance to put it right first.

Nobody has suggested going to court without writing to the retailer first. You give the impression of not having read the topic properly.

It’s a dishwasher. The whole car analogy is pointless and fallacious.

So, first define the purpose of the dishwasher, which is logically to clean dishes. If it does that then the cosmetic appearance is secondary, especially on such a minor component that is internal and not part of the actual look of the machine.

You must also give the retailer (as it is them that are responsible in law, not the manufacturer) time to make proper redress by way of a repair or replacement product. Pursuing any course of legal action without exhausting all reasonable methods first would be folly and ultimately be frowned upon by any court.

I have no idea what this sentence means.

Do you mean misrepresented? Or improperly?
If so, then I don’t agree with your analogy. Car manufacturers clearly state specific performance figures, and nobody could rightfully expect a Mondeo, say, to outperform a Testerrossa in the way that you suggest.

gegsy wrote:
I agree its not nice that the plastic disclours but its still doing the job it was intended to do.

And yet it isn’t doing as good a job as millimog’s previous dishwasher. Moreover, this appliance is brand new, not ageing, and yet it no longer looks brand new, as a result of a design deficiency.

You have a right to disagree gegsy, but you’re not successfully explaining any factual or objective basis for such a difference of opinion.
