Re: Anybody had scrap nicked?
Well, with the value of scrap machines having gone up from 2p to 16p per kilo what do you expect? Trafford council is having to constantly replace stolen manhole covers costing us ratepayers thousands of pounds per year. The solution is to make the scrap dealers take proof of identity of all customers and details of the scrap.
Re: Oven Bench
I have an excellent one which is ideal for carrying into customers’ houses and which I believe originally came from a manufacturer. I can bring it to the Sept meeting and if there’s sufficient interest we could investigate the feasibility of getting it made up. From memory [I’m away on hol at the moment] it adjusts from about 2ft to 5ft 6in using a threaded shaft and a removable extension piece.

Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
No, the daughter would have noticed that it was the same one 😆
Something like that always happens when you do a job for an old person , and then the son/daughter gets involved. What you did is never right. I once repaired an integrated fridge freezer for an old lady and left her the bill for her son to pay. He knocked £1.37 off for spoiled ice-cream.
Needless to say I got it back with interest on the next job. 😀

😆 Yes, it was a gas, but not in the 1960s meaning of the term, even though it was the 60s when it happened. 😯

Dishwasher in a very hot conservatory and she must have filled it a large bottle of bleach as it was not draining and did,t want it to smell. Trouble was with that amount of bleach in a hot enclosed space it must of turned in to chlorine gas as when I opened the door I nearly collapsed with the fumes.
GooseIf you mix bleach with cleaning fluid containing sodium hypochlorite chlorine gas is produced. She probably put that in as well to make doubly certain the machine didn’t smell! 😀
I only remember that because, having learnt it at school, I tried the experiment at home. Stuck my face over the container and breathed in to see if chlorine was indeed given off but inhaled a bit too much. I then discovered very quickly that Cl2 unlike other gases inhibits breathing and the next door neighbour had to take me off to hospital fighting for breath and coughing profusely. 🙁 I lived to tell the tale.
Don’t try this one at home. 😯

There will be worst jobs I’m sure..
Feedback anyone?Robert.
No, I don’t think there are. I’ve still not managed this one; the collar is designed to push into the neck of the sump hose [ or soap hose] from inside the outer tub. How you get in by pushing it up the hose from outside I’ve never figured out.
The last one I had had a split in the middle of the sump hose. I cut it in half, and joined the the two halves together with a short length of plastic tubing and two jubilee clips. Worked fine.
Re: Lux frost free fridge freezer
This model has Euroflec electronic control with 2 ntc thermistors, main pcb, display pcb, defrost heater and drain heater. I would guess that either the defrost heater is o/c, or the main pcb or evaporator ntc has failed. You can measure the resistance of the heaters and the ntcs from the foamed-in connectors behind the freezer rear plastic panel. If either of the ntcs fail you should get the 3 leds flashing on the display board.
You can put it into service mode to test the operation of the compressor, fans and heaters. If you want to test the fans be careful; they operate at 18Vdc.
It’s worth getting the TDS offline disc which gives you all the information you need; service mode, faults indication, schematic diagram.
