Re: bosch sgs43a12gb/42
The usual underfilling issues will really screw up wash results and can throw the computer, causing odd numbers to appear on the display.

Re: Who gets most moola
I suppose it’s down to how you sell your skills and where you position your business.
Quality Washer Repairs says a lot in it’s name – we fix washing appliances. Washers – yup, dishwashers – yup (Love ’em). Pick up dryers as a result; yes Madame, I can fix the cooker as well (Well, OK…) and as a result have managed to stay completely away from refrigeration for many years. However, Mike does them for us (I do his washers 😀 – it all works out about even).
Now you have to position the business to fit the skill set. With us, it’s property work. Unwanted work round Leeds, which is daft. Leeds has two Universities and the City College – over 45,000 students in rented accomodation in total; yet there are three of us who do damn near all of it. I don’t mind, the rest of the Leeds lads (who won’t sign up to UKW…..) are missing out because they can’t organise a billing system.
The balance is about 1/3rd private work and 2/3rds property and it works very well for us.
We sell the ISE machine with confidence and it’s a steady revenue stream.
The point is to play to the strengths of your area and customer base – working out what that is can take a bit of time and a lot of organisation, but get it right and the business will be busy and profitable.

Re: 12 August
You expect us to celebrate the massacre of innocent avians by the rich, overpaid, chinless wonders who are supposed (and fail) to run the country? I don’t think so…..
Of course, chasing a few bank chairmen, MPs and Whitehall Mandarins with a double barrelled shotgun would offer much more sport from a feathered point of view.
Being a dead shot, Brown and Darling would make a nice “brace”.

Re: G2P DWI dishwasher problems can anyone help?
If it stops and beeps, count the flash pattern from the start LED – it’s an error code.

Re: Diplomat ADP 8242 stuck at end of cycle
It’s a SMEG in a dress. You cannot programme, or change a programme on any SMEG dishwasher if the door catch is in the closed position, failed in the closed position, broken in the closed position or the door switch itself is stuck in the closed position.
That’s the place to start – power off first.

Re: Whirlpool ADP 4500 – flashes 7 times repeatedly
Flow meter problem. Water metering unit is under the left hand side panel. It incorporates a flow meter; this is a water wheel with a magnet in it, next to a pcb with a reed switch on it. Assuming that the machine does actually start filling with water before the fault code appears, this device is likely to be the culprit. The “easy fix” is to remove the connector and clean the contacts on the edge of the pcb, give the connector a pinch and re-assemble. Oxidised contacts are a regular problem and that might do the trick. The reed switch on the pcb can fail and no longer switch, in which case you’ll need THIS to sort the problem out.
If the machine doesn’t fill at all, there may be a problem with the fill valve, the water supply or even the pcb.
Stay safe, power off if investigating.

Moved to Enquiries – Don should now spot it……….. 😆

Re: Whirlpool AWM 6163 motor / tacho fault?
F6 means no motor movement detected by the electronics. This machine uses a carbon brush drive motor – the brushes will eventually wear out as they are a consummable item, so that’s the place to start. Next, wiring to the drive motor – I see plenty of these with broken wiring at the motor plug and under the drum – test continuity from the pcb end with the the meter.
Power off first, please!

Re: Best quality tumble driers ever made.
White Knight is the pick of the “cheap and cheerful” machines.
Zanussi/Lux group stuff is the best of the middle ground.
If you can find a proper Bosch-built dryer (rather than a badged-Gorenje) they’re excellent, but electronic failures can be very expensive to put right.
The ISE10 dryers are just something else…… 😀Penguin45.
