Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
It must be one of those days. Got a call from customer, after you repaired my oven yesterday, my dishwasher is no longer working. There’s no power, Ive checked the fuse and the fusebox, all is ok so it must be something you did yesterday.
What planet are some of these folks on??
Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
Beat this.
Partially laying on the floor trying to get the brushes out of a machine in a stinking dog grooming parlour, covered in dog hairs. The smell suddenly started to get a lot worse. I look up to see that a Venterinary nurse had come into the room and was in the process of clearing the anal scent gland on all the dogs the groomer had groomed that morning. You’ve got to be taking the p*** love, couldn’t you warned me.
Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
I thought I’d seen it all but today I was shocked at the pettiness of what I saw. I had a job at a fixed mobile home site that I regularly visit.
As I drove in the road I was stopped by 3 elderly men. One was the customer I was visiting, the other two were his immediate neighbours.
When I last did a job on that road back in February, I had to turn around at the end of the road. With a multi point turn I manged to get the wheels of my van on this mans’ drive. I did get a call from the original customer back in February saying a neightbour had complained both verbally and in writing and also in writing to the estate manager. 😮
Today the other two neightbours were there to “escort me” so I didn’t go on thier drive. The other two neighbours had traffic cones accross their drives so I didn’t encroach by accident. Thinking they might want to “escort” me out, I did take the mickey a bit making several “false” attempts to leave causing them to rush out of their houses. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Unbelieveable how petty some people get when they age. If I get like that – shoot me.
Part two will be Monday when I return 😀 😀 😀

I hope you gave her a small charge for your time and costs??
Re: Fairy dishwasher tabs from Groupon
Waitrose always seem to have good deals with these. Best one at the moment is £10 for 72. That’s 13.9 per tablet. They rotate the deals regularly. I’ve never paid full price for them !! Must be the mixture of Scottish/Yorkshire blood in me….:-)

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HDA bit strange wasn’t it.
I have always tried to check appliances I’m working on and also have a quick scan for any that might be on a recall list. I advise customers if they might be recalled. If it’s a letting agency job I check and inform the agency if it’s a recalled product.
However, from my experience a good many customers just aren’t bothered generally. My most recent case of appathy: I did some work at house where the Lady works at a letting agency who I do work for. I noted the Glen Dimplex/Beko Cooker. I emailed her the website link with the phone number as well. Move forward 6 weeks later and I’m in the office today and I asked her how she got on with GD. “Oh I lost your email and haven’t really got around to it.” Absolutely not bothered. I do hope she saw the programe tongight.
GD were painted in a very good light on the show.
Re: Whats the most annoying thing tenants do?
Letting agent job. Fix cooker door hinges inner and outer and fit new door seal. Easy job. Visit, order parts. Fit job in. Under thier budget ceiling. Everyone happy !!
Just as I’m putting the door seal on. Oh this hot plate trips the fusebox all the time can you have a look at it? It’s been like this for months. Sure enough, without turning it on, from hob eyelevel height I could see that the hob plate was very slightly convex.
Arrggh why didn’t you tell me when I first visited or even tell the agents when you reported the oven door?
LL decides to replace the cooker. altogether.
So I get another job – disconnect old and fit new cooker. I get paid twice, still charge for the parts and labour for the original job. 😀 😀
I’m not sure who is the fool here. The tenants or LL because the job went slightly over their own set budget limit and then to buy a new cooker – to quote them “just in case another hob ring fails we’ll replace it.” I’ll take the money 😀 😀
PS How do you balance a pan of boiling water on a convex hob plate??? How did they not notice it??
Re: SEIMANS FF KG34NX90GB
I know it’s an old thread but I’ve got one of these to look at. It’s an earlier 06 model. What’s the mod kit for? Any details please? This one sounds like a fan/over icing fault.
Thanks
If this is an older model , Pre-mid 2007 , then it may need the evaporator cover plate fitting and a new module These were the 2 main components that needed replacing for the main modification that these applainces had early doors.

Weirdest I ever got asked to look at was an egg incubator and chiropodists’ pressure cooker autoclave.Re: Neff DW error code
That’s a thought, I’ll ask her to run it again and see what results we get.
Thanks for that 🙂
Re: Neff DW error code
If it’s a flooded base, sure the pump would kick in as part of the anti-flood mode?
