Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
I used to do a roaring trade in re-built appliances due to the large volume of property work we do. It has died off, but I will still do the odd one to order. Back then the failure rate in relation to the volume of sales made it very cost effective. Now it’s the odd one-off for customers with difficulties or odd circumstances and they will pay at least £150 for a decent front loader. At that price, I can afford to do the job right and get very few complaints.

Flow meter is probably defective – p/no 424099 – this little chap HERE in fact.

Re: Whirlpool AWZ650 Tumble Dryer
There are no bearings in an AWZ650 – the drum runs on four support wheels, two at the front and two at the back. In theory, these can become noisy and “rumbly”, but it’s more likely that the drum itself has started to break up.
Power off if you intend to solve this yourself.

Re: Indesit wg1130t belt
The main thing to bear in mind when you do fit the new parts is that you must route and secure the wiring away from the line of the belt. Make sure that you have insulating tape and a few tyraps to hand when you do the job.
Stay safe – pull the plug and put it somewhere where you can see it.

Re: Bosch SGS43E02 control panel loose
You can find the part numbers and exploded diagrams over on http://www.bshappliancecare.com. You will need the full eNr number to make it work properly though – that’s the GB/– bit on the end of the model number.

Re: Bosch Logixx srs56a02gb/08 Detergent Dispenser Fault
The logic is flawless. Check continuity from the pcb to dispenser to be doubly sure. If ok, pcb it is. For info, it’s usually the actuator which blows the pcb – cause and effect thing going on.

Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
Simon,
You know damn well what the answer to this one is. You’ve been had for a mug by trying to be nice. You’ve got the machine back, I’d suggest that you just pay back the £100 and forget about it. Make absolutely sure that the damn thing works properly and sell it for what it’s worth – top loader is a niche market appliance, so charge a damn site more for it, especially if your going to warrant it.Oh, maybe tell your other local repairers the address……. But, only if you like them.

Re: Indesit wg1130t belt
You have a bigger problem than you think here. The remaining earth connection clips on to the motor by the connector block. The disc with the wire on it is the remains of a varistat – the wire is actually a gas capillary tube connected to the temperature knob on the control panel. You’ll need p/no C00019650 – spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will get one for you promptly.

Re: Indesit IDF125 – water in the salt dispenser?
Salt container should be full of water. It will be displaced when you fill it with salt. There will always be a small amount of water under the filters.
Nothing to worry about.

Re: Indesit wg1130t belt
Easiest way to do it is to upload to a hosting site like Photobucket and link from there. Paste the link and up come the piccies.

Re: Progamme never ending ? Boach SGV5613GB/12
Underfilling issues will prevent the heater from working – the computer will eventually time out and abort showing one minute remaining. If the transfer pipe in the machine is badly blocked, water will overflow from the water level control chamber and run into the base of the machine, eventually operating the flood protection system – a constantly running drain pump.
Power off for anything other than observation.
