    If there isn’t enough water in the machine there won’t be enough pressure to make the microswitch to bring on the heater.

    So first thing to check is the transfer tube. Plenty of threads on this, somewhere.

    Re: Hotpoint one shot too far!

    Just fit the, latest, complete box. You will only be back if you change the one shot!

    Also if you do a modification to it and it goes up in smoke……………

    Thats what I reckon anyway.

    Re: Filling a gap

    At least if the ISE does go wrong you would get the money for the repair

    Bryan I know all that, hence why I’ve been selling ISE since day one.

    The point is I need a cheap machine to ‘fill the gap’ of what products I sell.
    Due to the fact that the ISE2 is no more.

    Re: Filling a gap

    suppose it depends where you live and what value you put on your time

    I like to earn £38 to £60 pounds per call.(Accounting for any spares profit). For normally 45 minutes to an hours work. So I see installing a new machine as nothing other than a good job. So making £60 on a new machine is good money in my eyes.

    I can’t see why it depends on where you live?

    What value do you put on your time? Is your value different on a new machine than on a repair call?

    Look at the bigger picture..You’ll lose the in warranty repairs for 2 years

    Sorry Bryan I don’t know what you mean??

    Selling the ISE 2 for £320 now

    😯

    My customers wouldn’t pay it and to be fair I would feel a bit guilty selling such a low spec machine for such a high price, even with an extra years guarantee thrown in.

    Re: Filling a gap

    I think my ISE2 price was fine considering the spec of the machine.

    Looking on-line at 1200 spin machines with a 5kg. I think you are on the dear side. 😉

    For example DIXONS are doing a 1200 spin whirlpool for £208.77 delivered and installed. (Unfortunately they charge less than £9 for install and scrap now!) 😯

    I think I might go for that Whirlpool offer @ £149. ❓

    It means I can sell at £239 and still make £60 profit.

    Cheers for info.

    Re: A philosophical viewpoint

    Do you thinks Martins working for Haier now?

    If so UKWhitegoods should charge him for advertising!!!!

    😆

    This must be the case as surely this topic isn’t doing anything else but trying to promote Haier.

    I’m not sold on it anyway. The previous two posts are spot on!!

    Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?

    Me” Its your heater at fault, thats why its taking 3 hours to do a 35 minute wash”

    Customer”So are you saying the heater has never worked since I’ve had the machine?”

    Me”No, why? how long have you had this problem for?”

    Customer”About a week!”

    The machines 2 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And the customers a Doctor……….of what I don’t know?

    God Helps Us All.

    Tug away on the motor connector wires.

    They are deceptive B*****S. Remember to label which one goes where before you tug as sometimes 2 or more may be dodgy.

    Re: re Bosch SGV43A23GB/08

    seems to Drain sometimes at the same time as washing in small pulses

    Does the machine actually do a cycle? Or does it wash and pulse drain and not progress any further?

    Why I’m asking is because I have repaired three of this model in the last month and noticed on all of them when testing on the quick program it does do what I think your describing.

    As in, the pump runs for a split second whilst the machine circulates. (Periodically).

    (As Nomadpaul says do check float in sump. This is done from inside the machine not from underneath, in case you were wondering? Grey plastic side of the float at the top if you remove it.)
