Re: PRIMA (Whirlpool) LPR100/1 853912815013
If it cuts out with a click after a few seconds and then if left for a few minutes tries again to start its likely it is the compressor/motor problem which would be serious.
Re: samsung fridge freezer rs20ccms
It did say somewhere on this sites home page and in other news articles that other models may be included.
Always worth a check.Re: Fridge explosion
Here are a few.
Dupont are a large manufacturing company too.Re: Another one to identify
Saw one a while ago,probaly bosch neff style but reasonable quality if I remember.

The other stupid idea is we all have to get a C&G 2079 or F gas reg to work with r134 but need no qualifications to work with an explosive gas like R600a.
It makes no sense.Problems are occuring early on with R600,what about when they ar 10 years plus and materials naturally deteriorate,ther’ll be a second round of panic.
600 is also in commercials in larger quantities than domestics like Fosters double doors are on it.
No great problem if safe working practices are followed,if they aren’t or there is a natural component failure it has much more serious consequencies than a R12 or R134 leak for individuals,then again these are damaging the ozone layer so we can’t have that can we!
Fatalities sadly will occur before those at the top realise the magnitude of the decision to go down the isobutane road.
Did my F-gas a couple of weeks ago,barely no mention of isobutanes,no test on lok rings.Re: Fridge explosion
gas under pressure is more dangerous in the respect that a container say cylinder if involved in a fir will BLEVE (boiling liquid escaping vapour explosion.
If the gas is mixing with air LPG for instance will ignite/explode with a mixture between 2{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} to 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} the severity of the explosion depends on the mixture,if the mixture is higher then its similar to the old carburettors of too rich a mixture there isn’t enough oxygen to balance the fuel.LPG being a purified version has similar properties.
R600a is flammable in concentrations of air between approximately 1.5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} and 8.5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} by volume
(LEL lower explosion limit and UEL upper explosion limit) so you wouldn’t need much of a leak to give the right mixture in a freezer compartment++.
• An ignition source at a temperature higher than 460°C is needed for a combustion to occur.
The 460c could be achieved by a short circuit.
If the fan is running in the freezer mixing the oxygen and fuel(r600a) then it could reach the desired mixture.
Certainly giving us food for thought.
Attended the Fire Service College at Morton many moons ago for a 10 day course on exploding chemicals,lpg included.
They showed us the effects of a lighter fuel refilling canister the small one ,which folks will keep in the kitchen cupboard when involved in a fire.
Astounding damage caused 😯
Bring back R12 I say.Re: Noisy Dishwasher – connected to Sink?
Yeah,drill a seprate hole through the wall and give it it’s own outlet pipe,just like plumbers used to before this quick fit stinky sink set up was introduced.
It’ll be more hygenic and not liable to grease blockages from the sink drain,and also much quieter.
Plumbers,don’t you just love em 😉Re: samsung fridge freezer rs20ccms
After reading thisyou may want to get Samsung in

Re: SDW60P`
Thanks,realised but not sure of which buttons they are as the facia is totally blank.
Is the furthest left button included in the faulty codes as it is a red light as opposed to the others being green,it’s Friday and the fatigue is setting in 😉 .Re: Door seal retaining spring pliers
If you are worried about slipping go to your local cycle shop and get a pair of mini plastic tyre levers, 3″ long have a recessed end are ideal for the job.
