Re: Supplying dishwasher salt

A phone call requesting a delivery of salt? If it is on your patch and you can drop by then why not? Worth making an extra pound for that if it is on your way to a different job.
You will be surprised how many people do not know what salt looks like. On the other day a customer says “Where do I put the salt in the dishwasher?”, I say “Over there where you can see a grey cap (Bosch), you unscrew it and pour in some salt, do you have some salt?”
She says “Oh yes! I do have some, now where is it? *searched high and low* Voila *showed me a bag of Sainsbury’s cooking salt*”
I say “Well, actually you need a dishwasher salt and I happen to have it in my van, let me get it out and this will costs you £2, will that be ok?”
She says “Yeah that’s fine, *perplexed at the differences of salt* *I show her the packet* Oh I see that what it looks like.”
At the end of the day according to Sir Sugar, A profit is a profit!
Re: Supplying dishwasher salt
I do but they are so expensive that supermarkets are undercutting warehouses.
Re: stupid electrician
I once repaired a dishwasher belonging to a police officer. Basically a blocked drain pump but somehow he managed to almost destroyed his 1 year old whirlpool. He stripped it down and asked if I can finish it off.
A button got caught in the pump, think it was from his white shirt. Perhaps he was confused which is a washing machine or dishwasher?
Re: Hotpoint Steam Cleaner
I’ve got one but waste of time. Useful for defrosting freezer, removing sign writing off the van. But for oven, you will feel that you been had by the ads.

How depressing! Just when you think you can’t compete on prices and yet there are many more willing to pay over the odds. via “nice-but-dim” house. I’m in the wrong business!

trotter wrote:LG are a million miles better than many other brands available at the moment, as for Miele well yes ….Until you look at the cost of spare parts! If you know what you are doing with LG then they are simple to repair and the cost of parts are far below most others. The direct drive motor is one you will not find on any other UK sold washing machine.
The direct drive is one of the many reasons why my wife and I opted for the LG. It’s simple in design but so effective. I like working on LG as they are the most enjoyable machine to work on. The most common problems I found with LG are worn shocks and worn bearings that are often too late to save the machine (but that usually the case if the owner installed the machine in the garage or far flung corner of the house where you can’t hear it otherwise the machine would have been saved).
I have managed to rescue our current LG, now it is fitted with new pumps. I hadn’t realised how noisy the old pumps were until the new one were fitted.
I have not yet worked on a steam version but I would expect it to be simple in design. Perhaps more problematic in hard water area?
The Samsung are showing confident on their washing machine by offering 5 years guarantee. It won’t be long that LG will follow suit.
Re: Which LG washer to avoid?
It was decided that I shall keep on repairing the current LG until spares becomes obsolete.

If I recall correctly, they incorporate self-adjusting mobile counterbalance balls built into the front rim of the drum. As far as I know this design is used on the 10, 11 and 12 kg models.
I’ve observed the pumps fitted to current LG models and supplied as replacements are poor Chinese quality, so only seem to last a couple of years in family use. Apart from that, they are pretty nice machines!
Thank you, it’s nice to have someone that answers the questions correctly rather than slagging it off.
I do not have £900 to spare to buy those Miele or ISE. The machine in question is on special offer that caught my wife’s eye. I realised this model is the steam version (9kg version). I do not know much about it and then there is this Samsung model the Ecobubble (8kg). From my observation both makes are very similar and uses same technology such the direct drive motor.
I’m leaning toward the Samsung. I know it is slight change of subject, does anyone have any thoughts on it?
Re: Which LG washer to avoid?
The bearings were replaced 4 years ago, the following year complete set of shocks and springs, new door seal, the year after new dispenser jets.
It appears to be needing attention on yearly basis. Don’t get me wrong, I do love our current one.
Sometimes if you wanted a fresh look to the kitchen and for her sake she likes modern appliance. To be fair our current one is 10 years old and outlasted most of my customers Bosch washer.

Re: Fix This…
That what makes Dyson stand out the rest. Design, Invent and Engineer all rolled into one.
I’m not aware of any lux product that stood out the rest in terms of design and engineering. Perhaps they ran out of ideas, hence brought in designers.
Re: Beko tumble dryer – DVTC60W – stiff drum
Glad I had the common sense to replace the pulley first then the belt. No blood spilt. Not The thought of replacing the belt has crossed my mind. It was a right PITA slipping the belt onto the shaft and pulley.
I fail to understand why did Beko did not list replacement belt for this particular area? Nowt wrong with the original pulley, seem such a shame to lob it in the metal bin.
