    Re: At what point does one walk out on a job…..

    …..and they sit on shiny ceramic tiles, the hoses neatly lying alongside. Just pop off the plinth, two screws at the top and s-l-i- d-e them out…!

    Yes give me integrated any day 😉

    I wish it was always a case of “pop off the plinth”- sometimes getting the plinths off around here is the worst part of the job.
    They mastic them in, use concealed screws, make them too ruddy tight, usually have to remove more than 1 to get the one we want off .I rarely come across a plinth that pops off, must be paradise around your way Martin.

    I think the condenser valve cuts in after 10/15 minutes of drying, I watched this for 40 mins and the valve didn’t cut in.
    Even if the condenser was blocked , am pretty sure it doesn’t affect the valve supply.
    Thanks anyway.

    Hi Tim
    I did check heater for earth fault & resistance , seemed OK.
    Are they suspect under load?

    look at grill switch / regulator, had one a few weeks ago.
    Earth fault on the grill usually shorts the regulator so the fan stays on all the time.

    Re: Bosch/ Siemens SN25M830UK/01 Dishwasher leaks ?

    Yes , had several like that.
    These latest Bosch machines are looking like a 4/5 year life (if ya lucky) before scrapping – just like Hotpoint then!
    Pity , when customers think there buying a premium brand.

    nomadPaul wrote:There are 4 main culprits.
    1. Left hand side water inlet vent seal. It’s the large plastic collar on the inside of the tub approx level with lower basket. These can leak through the small round seal. You can normally see the residue on the water inlet itself. There is a dedicated tool designed to tighten the collar up.
    2. Door seal . Self explanatory really
    3. Sump seal . There is a small rubber seal built in to the top of the sump that can degrade and cause leakage. It’s not always obvious although sometimes you get a limescale build up on the sump/tub join.
    4. On the plastic tub versions , they can actually leak from the join between the bottom edge of the tub where it’s fixed into the plastic base. This is normally obvious from the yellowy/white grungy residue filling the tub/base groove.

    Unfortunately, all these leaks tend to be very small and it’s an accumulation over a few washes that finally tips the balance.

    Other causes include custoners using separate salt and rinse aid BUT also all in one tablets causing overfoaming and p
    oor installations causing doors not to close fully.

    I can tell you now that BSH engineers are as frustrated about these leaks as anyone !


    Oh, I’ve just seen these threads, glad I’m not the only one !!

    not really , was concerned about other unseen damage caused to board, had this happen before on a lux, went to the trouble of sourcing a resistor, went back to job & fitted it – only to find it didn’t work. – so I don’t repair boards anymore , i just change ’em- less hassle!

    Had one of these 2 weeks ago, same resistor blown, it’s connected to the door lock.
    Changed PCB & lock, all good.
    (expensive though but customer was happy )

My recollection is the questionnaire is a bit of a minefield and you have to choose your answers very carefully. As far as I know you are only charged for the service once per year, not every time you update the questionnaire.

    My setup is similar to yours – mobile terminal with SIM card – and they’ve not asked to scan my computer.

    Yep Stratfordgirl , you were right, just redid my profile on saferpayments as I had filled out the wrong SAQ ❗
    All good now – no scans required, phew 😉
