Re: Pulling machines out on board
Hotpoint board is not as bad as I thought, quite impressed with it especially how flexible it is.
Re: CDA WC130 dishwasher – Whirlpool made
The setting on the clamp was set at 2000mA, the readings I got was 900, so I guess 900mA. The drain pump was 281mA. I was expecting something similar for a wash motor if not then a little more but not fluctuating between 900 and 4.
Re: CDA WC130 dishwasher – Whirlpool made
Forgot to mention that when I used the clamp meter, I took note of what was happening and there was a time which the the readings were hard to interpret. The clamp measured the flow of current while various components were operating.
From standing still while powered on, the reading came up as 4, when the drain pump came on it went up to 281, during the pauses, the readings fluctuates from 900 to 4 then 900 back to 4 and so forth. I thought it was a very high fluctuation.
The ohms readings from Motor and drain pump were similar so I do not expect such high current readings from the clamp as both should operate similar current flows. What you think?
Re: What the H? Extra (after-market) PCB found in Bosch WM?
One could look around for rented washing machine business and ask them if they have lost a Bosch WM recently. The machine is likely to be owned by the rental firm. Are there any other markings on it? Is it security marked? Get a uv light and check it out.
If this guy regularly call you out to look at their machines and not wanting to pay, I would think twice doing the work.
Re: Removing torx screws from drum spider – Hotpoint
I bought mine from Tool Station, it’s very reasonable. Around £6.
I must say that it works like a treat, like you said “eats metal for breakfast”. Wish I had known earlier as it would make my life a lot easier!
You need to buy cooling agent to use the drill bit, Tool Station sells them for around £3.50.
I also used a Worx 24V drill. It was on special offer years ago, I think I had it for 5 years and it is still going strong. Bought myself a smaller rechargeable electric screwdriver from Lidl for £15, will see how it goes.
Re: Removing torx screws from drum spider – Hotpoint
Will take note thanks. Too hot to work on the drum, will finish it off tomorrow. Customer wanted it finished for Friday.

Not this particular drum, all six screws are in. It’s WT761. Drilled out 4, 2 more to go. you are right about the drill bit, will buy some decent drill bits.
Thanks Jim
Re: Removing torx screws from drum spider – Hotpoint
Cheers, the screw heads are so soft and caked in limescale. Drift sounds like a plan but they are simply too soft.
Drill it is then…
Re: Pulling machines out on board
845 x 707 mm? A tad too wide for my liking. Surely Hotpoint should know better that the standard width is 60cm? How on earth am I supposed to wedge in 707 mm in? It’s nearly 2cm too wide. There’s a huge difference with these measurements, most appliances are boxed in 60cm wide unit. I might take the board down to the timber yard and ask the guy to trim it. What is it made of, by the way?
Has anyone attempted to use wheelchair ramp for their work van to load machine onto it rather than hoist it up?
Re: Ignis oven fault code
12nc code? you mean the serial number? What do you mean send it down to you for you to rezap it?
Sounds like that you are offering to reconfigure the power unit. I didn’t know that it is possible. I have not seen the oven yet as the appointment is for this Monday.
Masterpart sells the new unit but it’s out of stock.
Re: Ignis oven fault code
Model number is akl909/ix.
According to Whirlpool codes, F03 is Oven power not configured, replace oven power unit. Sounds expensive for a 3 years old oven that has been broken for the last 18 months.
Re: Should have got a deposit.
A snip from the “newspaper”
“However, business leaders said the idea of people following traders around and recording their conversations was a recipe for conflict.
‘This has problem stamped all over it,’ said Robert Downes, of the Forum of Private Business. ‘The idea that conversations would need to be recorded for a particular part of the consumer rights bill to work suggests it needs more thought, and no doubt most consumers and service providers alike would agree. It’s hardly practical or realistic for either party to accept.’”

Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on FacebookI would be concerned if we have very over zealous customer wanting to record our activities and what was being said. I am not saying that we all have something to hide just that it is very distracting whereas fixing appliances requires 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} attention so you remain focus on fixing the fault as men can’t multitask, when working out the fault and how to remedy takes up a lot of concentration. Having someone filming me would makes me very nervous as opposed to having a customer looking over my shoulder breathing down my neck. It’s bad enough having one breathing down your neck but digital recording is a step too far. What would be the best approach to these things if a customer decided to record us, do we agree to it or says wait until after the repair job? Can we refuse to be recorded? if they are going to record us then we need to do the same, are we all going to start wearing the head cam from now on? I feel that this bill of rights is good but a step too far and erodes customer relations rather than restoring confidence.
I am a firm believer that having it in writing is the best defence but recording can expose you to all sort of things and it open to interpretations.
Re: Should of got a deposit.
Thanks George,
I guess the threat of being charged with fraud and ending up with a criminal record is a powerful deterrent to those who thinks can get away with stopping the cheques.
I have not had the pleasure of bounced cheques but I had two incidents of customers who refuses to pay for the goods/services despite numerous times of contacts. This fraud acts, does this applies to this as well? Such as I supplied the goods/services and invoiced for the work on the condition that they pay up by certain date. The deadline passed, no attempts made to settle the outstanding amount, does this count as fraud or a civil matter on breach of contract?

Go to the police and claim fraud.
I am not joking, a stopped cheque is an act if fraud under the Bills of Exchange Act 1887!
Never ever bounce a cheque! If it won’t be paid, don’t issue it in the first place!
Jackal
Just curious, has anyone reported fraud to the police over stopped cheques? Love to know the outcome of it. The prospect of a customer being charged with fraud, you need strong evidence for this such as proof of contracts.
How much was the cheque by the way?
