    Re: Bosch washer – WFO2865GB/08 – motor/display light not wo

    Thanks Jem, sadly the owner decided to plump for a new washing machine. I shall never find out what’s wrong with it.

    Typical as I have just picked up a brand new comm stick this morning then got a message asking for a new washing machine instead of repair.

    oddly enough no I do not have it. I will get it on Friday but the owner is dead set on replacing the oven.

    Re: Prima oven PRSO 102 fan element

    Thanks Dave,

    The call centre is a bit thick, I asked for fan element, and came the reply so you want a fan motor, no I want fan element not fan motor, it went on for quite some time and what’s more I wasn’t even talking to the spares department then. Then onto the spares department is worse than the first one, went through 3 different advisors.

    The price doesn’t seem too bad but sadly it is out of stock and would not be available for 14 days.

    I have the parts now. Trouble is, is there a correct way to put in? Generally I follow the directions of the writing and match against the new one but the new one has the print on the opposite side to the original. I’m concerned that I could put it the wrong way round.

    I can’t find any references on google on the correct polarity since there’s no markings for it.

    Re: Bosch better than Hotpoint, ‘Really’ ?????

    The weird thing is that cheaper appliances gives better returns than higher end. I get more discounts on selling appliances less than £300, anything above it the discount gets smaller thus fewer profits. There is pressure to make higher end appliances affordable and attractive.

    It’s a case of survival of the fittest to stay in business failing that then go re-train to be heat pump engineer where’s there’s money and dealing with not so well known brands by working for someone else. Most of us are self employed and would do anything to survive.

    Re: Bosch better than Hotpoint, ‘Really’ ?????

    That’s the situation I regularly come across with bosch motors being shorted and proves too expensive to replace. It seems to me that 1 in 5 machines that does it.

    The. i get asked which do I recommend, Hotpoint or Bosch. I say Bosch most times cos of 2 years guarantee but I have a sneaky feeling that these machines self destruct few months after the end of 2 years guarantee.

    I have this dishwasher doing the pulsing drain with the program light flashing with start button. Did anyone manage to resolve it?

    The pcb looks clean, no blown capacitiors. The switch mode – is that the button and knob on the facia?

    Going to Stanstead? At 4am? Were you visiting to repair or flying off to sunny climes to repair?
