Re: tda/l/60ss/eco/// TDA Appliances
I know this is an old thread but:
Are spares available for TDA appliances? I just need to know before I spend any more time on this one. This cooker hood also says Kema Turkey on the rating plate.
Re: First Time For Everything…
Not a Beko FF that time but likely in this one…

Spoken to them a couple of times and really helpful.
MP showing as non-retunable item…so it sounds likeit’s still available.
Re: Whats the most annoying thing tenants do?
robinsonrobbo wrote:most common one i get is new tennants move in and oven wont work, ask if they have set the timer which the reply is yes and you get there and it was the timer after all!!
ive had this twice last week and both calls where landlord wanted quote only.
I’ve also had 2 last week where they have put a pan or plate back in the cupboard and turned the appliance off!
I get this every time the tenant changes. Either the clock is not set or they set it and the oven’s on “fire” because it’s smoking. Every tenant change is a compulsory professional oven clean. The cleaners don’t take the back of the cavity off and normally all the dirt and grease is behind the panel as well as the grill element.
I explained it numerous times to the letting agents. Eventually I said, if I get a job for the oven not working or it’s on “fire,” I will go out and charge them. I sis this twice and hey presto.
It stopped dead almost immediately after complaints from the tenants….. Now all tenants are advised “if the clock is not set you will be billed.” 🙂
Re: Whats the most annoying thing tenants do?
Another rant about tenants although the real fault lies with the letting agents for being too soft.
I only work Saturdays occasionally. An agency I work for (normally excellent customers), ringing and ringing and emailing for an hour Saturday morning.
I relented and answered just to get them to stop.
I had to go out please!! It was an urgent job, it needed doing now!!!! I offered but at 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} extra fee. I knew in advance it was a bitch of a job to get this machine out.
I eventually give in. Change my arrangements, load my van go to the job.
A young woman, about six items stuck in a washing machine. (debris in pump..old Hotpoint no filter..)
The urgency… Not kids school clothes or bedding. No, “I need my white bra to go out tonight”… 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡
The wife has banned me from talking about it and I’m a grumpy old man apparently 😉
Re: Lamona oven element query
Its back off job this one. Please ensure it’s turned off and you use another means (voltage stick or a meter to confirm it’s safe) to check it’s safe.
The edges are very sharp
Re: Approximate Age of this Belling Cooker Hood / spare part
Thanks R600a,
That’s all I wanted was a second opinion on the date.
I’ve explained the whole wear and tear and heat thing etc. I’ve left it with the letting agent and offered to to write the letter – that was a good idea – thanks.
The agents, believe it or not, are getting rid of his business. Now that’s a rarerity, a letting agency with morals. He’s too much of a pain to the tentants and agency and unreasonable in the extreme as this example shows.
Re: Levelling …how far do you go
When I have to remove integrated appliances, I normally take a few pictures. If the appliance is poorly installed I sometimes use a soft pencil mark where things were installed. Once the customer is happy, a quick wipe and the pencil marks are gone.
If the installation is bad enough, I’ll point it out to the customer as well. Had a few PITA customers.
Re: Samsung RSH1NHMH Fitting a new heater
Thanks. The evaporator back cover has just been delivered and I can get onto this one 🙂
Re: Broken Hob Glass – Cracked Whilst Cooking??
Thanks Lawrence,
I’ve done it verbally over the phone and via email with a read receipt.
I always follow up safety advice via an email. I like to sleep at night. 🙂
Re: Broken Hob Glass – Cracked Whilst Cooking??
I’ve been back to the agents again and re-iterated my diagnosis and the words of the wise guys on here who generously replied.
The tenant has been told to sort it. She is refusing at the moment because to claim on her insurance it would cost her £100 excess and increased premiums.
I’ve left it with the agency to deal with. I have advised the agents to tell her is could be dangerous to use it-spillage etc. I bet it get’s left until the end of the tenancy and the cost will be debited from her deposit as a lot of agents probably do.
Thanks again
Re: Broken Hob Glass – Cracked Whilst Cooking??
Thanks everyone for your responses.
I just wanted some second opinions before I go back to them tomorrow. I’m going to be stronger with the letting agent as I feel the landlord is going to get a bad deal here.
I’ll let you all know how it goes.
Re: Supplied Appliances – Faults – Who is responsible?
Thanks Bryan,
I never looked at it like that but you’re correct. I’ve only had one biggish issue over the years and Beko replaced the item in a few days. I still had to remove the old one and fit the new one but it was sorted quickly. Luckily, about the only item I haven’t supplied is a new dryer 🙂
