Re: Siemens Washer /Dryer
PINKY wrote:Tell your friend to buy a shed and put a tumble dryer out there
No chance, they have a small garden with a hot tub, and I think thats far nicer to sit in at midnight half cut looking at the stars than a shed.
I have tried to convince them to get separate machines as I do with everyone but sometimes it’s just not an option.

Nope, it’s not a wind-up Martin….but I can see why you think it could be.
Let me explain.
I don’t normally supply machines, I just repair so only get to see them once they are out of guarantee so in Siemens, Bosch & Neff’s case after they are 2 years old. I don’t know if it’s the same for most but I see plenty of Bosch branded machines but not that many Siemens.
My understanding is they are ‘all’ manufactured in the EU and not necessarily Germany. On the whole they use the same motors, brushes and pumps etc so are more or less the same, with cosmetic differences for different branding.
This said, the Siemens is marketed as an upmarket model attempting to compete with Miele so ‘where’s the difference’.
As I deal with a local supplier I realise suppliers are more likely to be in the know as to where machines are manufactured/sourced, so when a supplier (not known to me) states the Siemens are manufactured in Germany I don’t disregard this off hand but thought I would double check.
I called a friend who has worked with Appliance Care for the last 12 years and he wasn’t 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} certain. What he did say though, was they had a lot problems with the Siemens Washer/Dryer vibrating, the only way this was resolved was swapping out the machine. Unfortunately I don’t know how recently this was so wondered if this is a known problem and if it’s resolved.

Some from Wolseley are registered but they have been stoped from posting on ukwhitegoods!
As far as the Wolseley website goes I agree it’s not user friendly, navigation is poor, the search is a waste of time. I end up calling the Sittingbourne which defeats the object of having an online ordering system. Wolseley keep telling us it’s being updated and are full of enthusiasm that it’s getting better but a year of promises it’s still below par.
Fortunately for Wolseley the girls at Sittingbourne are helpfully and quite knowledgeable with the products and if they don’t know they call back having found out.With regards to supplier websites Connect wins hands down. The search is affective, mediator useful, tracking back on past orders which link back to the products is good. Wolseley should take a serious look at this site and learn. It’s just a shame the Connect sales office are hard work. When ordering a part for a Neff your asked…….”is that spelt N E F F ?
Combine the Connect website and amount of lines they stock with the girls at sittingbourne and we could be on a winner.
P.S. maltheviking, have you any idea what ieSpell tries to correct your name to??

50/50, how do you get your floorboards down?
You can bank notes in the hole in the wall in the same way as cheques.

petalpop wrote:the abbey is the way forward in business banking
I have to agree with Petalpop, as I stated earlier in the forum, I have used Abbey for a couple of years and so far I have not incurred any charges.
I might be wrong here but my understanding is the Allied & Leicester’s deposits are made through the Post Office, not a visit I relish….Abbey is made via the hole in the wall, anytime.
I don’t know how the Abbey charges compare with Allied & Leicester if you are a larger business and go beyond the free banking threshold.
Re: Smeg Single Oven SE42016 Element
Sorry Crossed two numbers.
The model is SE2010MFX which I crossed with the SPA42016.
Makes life more interesting doesn’t it?!
Re: Bosch WVTI2840GB/03 Pump runs slow
The machine is less than 2 years old, the symptoms are not like you usually get on these pump. Usually when you start them they will run normally (sometimes with the tell tale rattle) but this still runs slow, yet every time I run the machine on a spin or drain it runs without a problem.
It is a twist fit but more like the 51-AG-18 but has connectors like the standard bosch 51-BS-09.
Re: Seasons greetings
Many thanks to the team who run the forums and the regular posters who contribute.
You have defiantly made my life easier.
Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Re: hotpoint wm62 washer
It sounds likely there’s another fault with your machine.
Why was the board originally disconnected, what was the original problem with the machine?
Re: Hotpoint WF320G Washing Machine
All i know is this machine was stored outside in the garden while the customer was having building work done. once put back in the kitchen it displayed this fault.
My guess is the eprom is shot but I’m not sure.Re: Hotpoint WF320G Washing Machine
I don’t think there was, I pressed all the buttons to see if I could find any life in the machine, all the buttons felt OK.
Re: Candy Single Oven Model F245
I see what you mean about the price!
With regards to the stat, ‘a standard continental type’ are the thermostats not calibrated for the specific oven?
Re: Bosch SGS45E02GB/56 Instantaneous Heater
This machine is in a nice house and looked after so I would be surprised if it’s clogged up but I can’t rule it out yet.
