ParticipantRe: ISE 5 Foaming
I had the very same problem with a CI555WH where excessive foam was an issue. The customer was using Fairy Powder in this case, she was concerned that she never had this problem with her old machine !
The remedy was to use only a quarter of the poweder she had been using and like K says, lower water wash levels, longer agitation times = high foam issues.
I dont think that this is exclusive to the ISE machine either.

ParticipantRe: TDS disc
If indeed this latest release of TDS is to be the last then thats really bad news. The TDS resource was the pinnacle of what a Technical Documentation resource should be. It will present us all with future problems not to have access to this.

I like nothing more than tongue in cheek or even dry humour Martin, having followed many of your postings since I arrived here I have had many a smile !
I make you right about the way things were done back then, basically many of the unions were digging their own grave, their undoing was the arrival of the Iron Lady and her band of legislation makers which had the brilliant idea of bringing in new laws whereby that could freeze union assets more akin to a dentist removing all of the teeth from the monster.
No Strike Pay, Members with Mortgages to pay,Beefed up laws with a new agressive police force soon tamed the likes of the poor miners, the Newsprint guys down at Wapping.
Once the battle was won the work place has evolved, in my opinion and remeber that I like many here am my own boss with employees to consider, it is my own opinion that in many ways workers rights have been so watered down that it is an employers market. Its the EC ( Here I Go Again ) that has brought in the Socail Chapter where we have to allow big Mick the Mad Washing machine Engineer maternity leave etc. Have the burdens of implementing the Working Familes Tax Credit Scheme, Shee ! I am myself only trying to earn a living.
The fact of all of this is that there is little that we can do about it, that said where does it say that we cannot complain, moan or have good old fashioned debates like this:

Maybe , Maybe Not, one things for sure, once you have a economy that is based on importing goods, service based at large and manufacturing more or less nothing then the heart of the country has been ripped out.
The big boys have been making huge profits selling everthing from Mortages, Endowments, Saving Schemes and Pensions and now are blaming the credit reference agencies for giveing THEM bad lending advise. Which just goes to show that the power of wealth is the domain of the few.Meanwhile back in RealTown everyone is working to fund the money machine in a everlasting out of control spiral. Personally I never buy newspapers certainly not the comic book Sun. On radio 4 this morning the leading Economists are talking about nationalisation of banks ! which means the Tax Payers could well be funding further expenditure no doubt with thw Goverment printing up more money.
As I have said we all have different outlooks on these matters and it is just as well as that provides a balance of any conversation or Forum 🙂

Martin as always I respect your views and opinions, however as regards the Lisbon Treaty I would have to say two things.
1. When this treaty was put out for referendum it was thrown out by some of the other european countries, not Germany of course nor France because their goverments like ours denied us the choice. When you look at the full contents of the Lisborn Treaty just like the EEC it is little understood. Both are in my opionion bad for this country, lets not forget here that until the point where we entered the EC not only were we a world leader in design, manufacturing and inovation, we were also the hub of the worlds financial business.
I accept that the trade unions did little to help matters but the struggles of our forefathers for working rights have been erroded away for many.
2. Ok so you say that the UK is the financial strong hold of the world ? If so then the wealth from that is shared amongst the few while the mass population endure a donwturn in their living standards. Take todays news for instance, in Rotherham the figures show that 2 out of three familys are on social welfare benefits, hardly a glowing attribute for the worlds 5th richest country.
This Goverment have borrowed huge sums of money and all of there fiscal forecasts have stated that they will need to borrow less year after year. The real economists predict that by 2012 Goverment borrowing will be 40{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} more than was forecast two years ago !
As for the banking institutions Northern Rock has each of us strapped in for £ 2000.00 each, the prudent goverment has not included this on their balance sheet ? for if they had they would be bankrupt.
When the EC was first announced the man in the street really did not know what it all meant, the story goes that even Edward Heath did not understand the full implications of it over a thirty year period.
Importing all these goods from abroad made in high carbon output countries by cheap labour is costing each of us as we speak. The goverments so called green polices are taxing us for this, fair enough but very little of this money is going into the green policy. Instead it is being squandered keeping the likes of the Rotherham benefit claimants along with the vast sums being used to keep the influx of migrants.
Where you get the idea that the ( British ) are a lazy workforce I have no idea, it is certainly a dated perception. The ECs own figures show that the Brits work some of the longest hours anywhere in the EC, so how does that make us lazy?
Looking at us being the the 5th richest nation you would find that hard to reconcile given the state of the economy. We are a benefit driven nation which is of course why we have high numbers of peolpe wanting to come here. Most of these people cross several EC countries before getting here choosing not to stay in the likes of Germany, Hungry or France. They are not coming here due to the idea thst we asr rich but because the social benefit system and asylum laws favour them as opposed to the hardened attitudes and inflexable rules in the other EU countries.
This is the land of Treasure Island where hand outs are a plenty all funded courtsey of the taxpayers. Therefore I cannot see how in the round we have benefitted from being tied into the EC gravy train, socially or economically .Considering that we are a small island with a near bursting population this country was a leader in so many fields before the days of the EC and we were exporting to every coner of the globe without any help from our european neigbours.
In fact we are so in step with our EC cousins that at the slightest earthquake we are left to deal with it ourselves. Ok I understand that there will be those who disagree with these views. But Great Britain was formed without any help from across the channel !March 17, 2008 at 12:23 pm in reply to: Hotpoint WF860 completing program & starting again !! #245930squadman

ParticipantRe: any good news?
Thats where the problems start, with things being made abroad, economic migrants flooding the country with greedy employers driving down wages, money earnt here being sent back out the country, 26 Milliion a year in child benefit being sent out of the country the math does’nt take long to work out.
Take for instance my mate who works in the construction industry, they are overun with migrant skilled workers who will do the job for less. In the Gas industry my brother is a coded welder currently engaged on LPG terminal construction, the construction company want to bring in cheap labour rather than offer the jobs to our own skilled workforce first !
In my opionion joing the EEC was mistake no 1, mistake no 2 was siging up the the Lisbon Treaty which will only make things far worse in the years to come. That should have been voted for the the British Public but as usual Gordon Brown knows best and denied us the chance of putting it to the vote in this great democratic country. Of course he did so knowing that it was going to be kicked out in such a vote.
Unless theres a change in this countrys policy on the major issues and some real decision making that has backbone I am afraid that there is little hope.

ParticipantRe: Budget ?
K, You are on the money with your synopsis of the Great Global Warming Farce. I agree with all that you have said, I think all of us at UK should put you up as a new independant party.
I would like to see your points raised with the current crop of politicians as I too suspect that they would really struggle to weazel their way out of the matter. Of course they are all weazels which is a qualification they need to hold in order to stand up in public and never ever provide a answer to the questions raised.
The weazels are weazeling the population of this country and the weazels have got us all working so hard chasing our tails to pay them that we have forgotten that the weazels are taking us for idiots. Idiot I am not and it takes little thought to see that if global warming was as desperate as they would have us all think then the weazels would be the first to want to try to save themselves.

ParticipantRe: Hoover HC6 160E , No Pump ?
OK had a chance to look at the machine today, this model does not have the hose that leaks and the Pump is fine. The PCB does not have the particular blown Triac or any blown Triacs.
I am getting another PCB to try as the power supply for the Drain Pump is supplied directly from this. Strange !

ParticipantRe: Hoover HC6 160E , No Pump ?
Thanks fella’s I will check it out, weird thing is I had pump action BEFORE the new module was fitted, just no main motor action. When I first fitted the new board I inspected the pump area whilst the machine was filling to see if there were any leaks that had caused this motor problem in the first place as the Triac was blown but I could see no leak from the hose above the pump. Still I will have the new board back out tommorow and inspect it to confirm and relook at the hose.
If the new board is blown I will be pig sick, can these be repaired ?
Cheers

ParticipantRe: Question for you Gas Guys ?
I think what I was asking Martin was that in the first instance they are visting each property and using compressed air to clear and dry the gas system. The properties that have damaged Gas meters will have them replaced. As for appliances like the Combi Boiler and Gas Cooker do you happen to know if water can damage them ?
Once the Gas company get the gas flow resumed they will fill their holes in and be off. If subsequently in the months to come there are problems with the above appliances would it not be much more difficult to obtain a remedy ? As I say I don;t know much about this but the fact that the Gas Supplier has NOT made any mention of such appliances being effected by this amount of dirty water suggests that either they know best and that its all perfectly ok, not to metion safe or they are hoping to airclear these homes and just replace their own meters.
