The only ‘Catches’ are the transaction limits:

Cheques deposited: 100

Cash deposited: £3,000

BACS credited: No limit

Cash and cheque withdrawals: 100

Debit card payments: No limit

Direct debits, standing orders and bill payments: No limit

Transfers between linked Abbey business accounts: No limit

More info: http://www.anbusiness.com/services/charges_interest.shtml#freebank

I stay within the limits so it’s free.

I ran my Abbey accounts like this for 11 years until 6 years ago Abbey National tightened up on things and said I would have to close the account as they’re being used for business.

Now I use the free Abbey business banking, as a sole trader it works fine for me.

Re: Which Condenser Dryer?

I was considering the Whirlpool but I agree about them being noisy. I like the way they come apart to repair, a bit more thought has gone into the design than some.

Do the new Whirlpool dryers still suffer from the stats burning out?

Re: Hotpoint WD62P pressure switch hunts following fill.

Unfortunately not.

Checked the sump hose, fitted straight without any twists or kinks.

I removed the pressure hose and tested in a bowl of water, no pinholes.

I removed the pressure chamber and double checked for damage in case air was escaping.

Nothing found!

I notice once the machine has filled the fault can be reproduced by ‘bouncing’ the tub slightly.

Re: Miele FlL W320 Pump not working.

I haven’t done this but I have checked for a live and neutral at the pump. I have a live but no neutral.

Re: Acount problems connect

I think Connect have got this the wrong way round…….

You don’t get good prices because your monthly spend isn’t high enough so what do you do?
Go elsewhere and reduce your monthly spend even further.

If they give competitive prices your monthly spend increases and we’re all happy 🙂

Not exactly rocket science!

On this machine it appears to fill to a level then the valve releases several times with a judder then stops for a minute and does it again.

Each time it does it, it’s not for so long until after a few minutes it seams to settle and stop filling.

If it was the pressure hose would it not continue this action until the drum filled and the water floods from the dispenser?

Not thought of this angle but can see the movement of the drum would allow the water level to drop which in turn releases the pressure switch.

Wouldn’t this affect the machine when draining though?

Re: Hotpoint WD62P pressure switch hunts following fill.

I checked the pressure hose, I have only found a hole in one through wear caused by friction against the tub or cabinet. I couldn’t find any sign of this.

S.

How was the pressure switch knackered? Was it open or short circuit or was it doing the same as this?

The element on this was dead short to earth on this.

Thanks Mike, I think you could have been right, I went back a took another look and sure enough, where the vent fits to the tub it was blocked up.

I cleared the blockage and filled the machine about 10 times and the fill level appeared to remain constant.

Re: Miele W864 FL elemnt O/C

The levels appeared to be OK when I left the machine, the customer says this has only started under-filling in the last few weeks whereas the pressure chamber was cleared 4 months ago.

Thanks Clayside,

Is there something different a Miele engineer can do?

Just looked at the price if I get it from Connect £195.29 :rolling:

Re: Neff B1140W0GB/02 Mains terminal block.

I called BSH and they said it’s not availble as a spare.

The oven is old, the door hinges are going and the door seal is broken so I think this is going to be BER anyway.
