Fix it at the right price, first time, leave them a card and you have a customer for life…….
Leeds engineers appear to be dropping out like flies over the last 3 years, but I still can’t find one to take on.

Penguin45.Re: Baumatic BWD12
They’re quite decent machines actually. Stainless tank etc, so it ain’t going to die as quickly as you want. If the rubber has gone, check the suspa legs – they can detach from the floor, or the brake insert falls out. Buying the bits from Baumatic is not too painful either.
AND, leave my old Newpols alone. 17 years ago, I was Mr Newpol (and Technogas, Solartronic, Proline (when it started)). They were completely misunderstood machines – made by Domar in Spain to Laundry standards as opposed to Domestic Washer standards (cheap junk), they were little tanks. By the time the Super 800 came along, it was an incredibly robust, simple and easy to work on machine. The downside was our complete inability to get spares out of the door. 98{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} parts availibilty, no credit card facility……… Died of apathy and frustration in the end.
Happy days………not.

Chris.Re: Bosch WTA3200 dryer no heat
Been to one of these recently Simon; safety cutout under rear cover had tripped – turned out to be the module not cycling with the thermostat (stuck relay). Nice posh house, so they paid up, but a bit of a bill………

18v? Rubbish – mines 24v, spare battery, 1 hour charger, rips everything apart! Odd thing is, it’s a Homebase own brand, well made, reliable, instruction sheet with a telephone number on it that works – Brill!
Oh, and you can back the torque off for screws. Mmm – nice.

Re: Reconditoning a 50’s fridge
Interesting idea. The mechanics of the old ones are pretty straight forward and wouldn’t represent a technical problem to an engineer. Any trim or manufacturer specific component would most likely prove a struggle after this length of time.
One other thing to bear in mind is the vastly improved efficiency of modern appliances – the insulation back then wasn’t all that good.
If you check in the Directories section or Repairs@ you should be able to make contact with fridge engineers local to you.

Re: Bosch not taking in enough water
The water enters the top of the chamber and fills the large compartment. When this has filled, the water will syphon up and over into the chamber with the hinged bucket. This stops the flow of water, which runs along your black hose and into the sump of the machine. The timer allows this to happen three times before continuing the programme. Any blockage in in the bottom hose can cause the water to back up in the fill chamber and overflow into the undertray, which will eventually operate the floatswitch and over-ride the programme.
To fully detach the bottom hose you will have to remove the undertray.
