Re: The Future Of DASA
Ok, let’s run this one again. I am disgustingly wealthy, and am seeking a new business opportunity. I can see an opening in the european market for a range of quality appliances, with a top service package. I like what I see on UKW and am impressed by the attitude and direction of the personell posting. I think I’ve worked out who the Directors are, and like what the Moderators are doing ( 😀 ). I am disturbed however by the site’s approach to the body called DASA. I do realise that they have fallen from favour over the past few years, but am confused by the boards aproach to them. Even amongst the directors there is no direction to the rest of your membership as to what should become of this body. As far as I can tell, this DASA is the only body which has had direct dealings and influence to the UK government and its associated bodies; if it fails completely, where will the trade stand?
Given that I have totally obscene amounts of cash available to invest, I am concerned that what I see as an excellent investment opportunity may be jeopardised by a public recognition of a dispute between the only nationally recognised trade body and this worthy group of independents. In a few years from now, when your nanny state government seeks to regulate your industry, I am hoping that UKW will have trained and educated its engineers through its own efforts; I am concerned that the government may go as a first port of call to DASA, its traditional contact. I would hate to think that your efforts would be discarded as “Oh, that lot……”.
As an outsider wishing to invest, really, I need some reassurances. I do appreciate that whilst the site is the “front” for the trade to have a free and easy discussion in and offer advice to the public; you are also leading the trade towards a perceived promised land which they are freely embracing. It could all be so easily undermined by any sort of active response from DASA.
I have doubts as to what to do with my money. The disunity displayed on this issue is causing me doubts, while my heart is saying “Do it”.
I thank you for allowing me to post on this forum. Chelsea is geting rather expensive and there is some question mark over the future of my oilfields. Please, sort this out and get the money while you can.

I didn’t dare reply. Mrs P is a fine Christian woman – making the “holes in the feet” joke just wouldn’t have been worth it.

Re: Fisher and Paykel 051 water overflows
Possibly residual water in the collecting bell from when the air hose was removed? If the chamber is full, there is no air to displace to the level switch, so it’ll keep right on filling.
Just a thought; Kiwi and F+P’ll probably have some better ideas……. 😀

Ok, the 90c + 60c progs are hot fill only – the cool washes are generally cold fill only, as are the rinses. Also consider that the cold supply usually runs at a higher pressure than the hot. If your home has low water pressure throughout, it is worth bearing in mind that the cold valve is fitted with a flow restrictor – removal may help. Finally, if you have the line taps with the red and blue plastic levers on, these are little s@ds for breaking inside and not turning the water on fully.

Penguin45.Re: Smeg DWI67.1 – No display or response
Numerous possibilities, without a test meter almost impossible to diagnose. The electronic boards are generally quite reliable.
Probably engineer time – check repairs@ or Directories for a UKW engineer in your area.

An email to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk quoting the part number will get things moving for you………..

Penguin45.Re: Bosch wfm3030 brushes?
Official repair was to fit the brush plate with new carbons complete. P/no was 092025, but there is no longer a price listed. Last one I recall was around £45. Dismantling the motor is the only way to fit it.
An email to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk may reveal whether loose brushes to fit the brush plate are available.
Power off before dismantling anything.

Re: F&P GW 700 B-U Washing Machine
Nice try! Your code is 1 +2 +128 (!) = 131. This is a motor circuit fault. I can’t tell you much more – Kiwi and FastandPro will pick up on this when the world turns round far enough, so stand by……

Check air pressure hose to level switch for chaffing/pinholing, check level switch function (should click when pressurised, check contacts onto power board. If all ok power board likely suspect. Air hose normal culprit however.
Power off if going inside.
