    Re: INDESIT WI RANGE, NON STOP TIMER CLICKING ROUND?+moan ti

    The old wm crap but a good earner! simple and the wma will end up the same its just a matter of getting use to it and waiting for the price of parts to come down lets face it hotpoint havent done anything any good for a long time. i know that when they built the new wma1600 that some clever person who designed the pcb (the 3 phase inverter one) done a grand job then they tried fitting it in the machine it didnt fit so someone else not so clever took a file to the heat sink till it did fit!! asking for trouble!

    sledge hammer is best or even push it of a cliff failing these options a nylon comet hammer will just have to do but make sure you really go to town on it!! the customer will appreciate this in the long run just think of all the time and hassle they will save in the future?

    Re: Aga companion

    Thats about the long and short of it not bad for 3grand though 😯 if you want to get the lid off unscrew 4 top silver caps then 4 big screws underneath that you need a bloody big screwdriver for! if memory serves me correctly normal rancho types stats/regs dont think element is anything special be carefull these buggers will chip even if you look at them in the wrong direction remember the fronts are cast and just for good measure the stat and hob knobs never look like they sit right! and they call it the appeal of aga! got to love there sense of humour but they certanly know how to charge if ever got to get parts try abgo 01902 379379 not cheap but damn cheaper then aga 😉

    Re: Creda T601CW Not Heating – any advice?

    if it is the condensor sort usually there is 2 thermostats on top of the element only one usually goes but change both because when one goes usually makes the other one weaker remember pull the plug and if in any doubt get an engineer 😉

    “Will it come out?” says I,
    “No problem” he says.

    So – drag it forwards, and WHOOSH! Dive over the machine – tap lever won’t move – jump back over, get screwdriver and pliers, finally stop water. Now soaked to the skin, water gone through socket, so power off. Phone Mrs P to bring set of dry clothes, she’s busy so annoyed. Customer can’t even brew a cup of tea……

    All this for a pair of carbons. AND now – I’ve got a flipping cold.

    I love this job, I really do. 😕

    the joy you bring to us is brilliant! you will look back and laugh and if you dont we will 😈
    its nice to see that the immortale penguin also suffers the same anguish has us mere mortales
    so did mrs p just let you walk round all day wet? or did you have your feathers ruffled?

    Re: Zanussi Condenser TC 470 not drying

    i have done loads of these and once the kit is fitted i have never gone back to one of them i think the fault lies in motor/floor because when the motor starts it moves and the floor moves a litle aswell only being thin metal then the bolt gets cattapulted off had one in the workshop and played with it for a bit yes i know i am sad but the kit is the only real way to solve this problem once and for all but apart from that they are a good machine
