Yes he did check for a blockage and was very surprised that there was only a teeny bit of dirt in the bottle, he also cleaned the pipe too and reassembled and the machine still wouldnt work. But I have followed his advice and yours by the looks of it and have bought the Zanussi ZWF1221W. The...

Just to update you on this machine, we have had an engineer out tonight and he has said the board has an error on it, which means the machine thinks its full all the time. He said he could replace the board which would be around £90 but that something is causing the board to go, so if it goes...

Hi Ive selected No 10, and you can hear the machine trying to do something like a humming, but the drum doesnt move at all. I dont think the drain pump is running. Trying rinse only is the same, the machine is humming, but nothing else is happening, the drum doesnt rotate, and the pumps...

Hiya Ive got a pretty old Hoover New Wave 1100 washing machine, its been working fine for the last 12 years, no problems at all. But today when I came to use it, the motor comes on, but no water is flushed into the softener/soap area, and the drum doesnt start to turn. Its never been over...

Hi Well today Im a happy bunster, Ive got a whole new plumbed system in and both the washing machine and dishwasher are connected, I followed Breezers comments and have both machines on separate wastes, 1 going into the other. No leaks from either the water pipes which are connected via a...

Hi Breezer Things never work out like they should do they. Well off I toddled to B&Q and got a 2m 40mm pipe, a pushfit elbow and a compression T joint to use with the existing piping there. Okay hubbie gets home and goes to do it and guess what the pipe that is there is every so...

Hi Well at last my new dishwasher has arrived this morning, just in time for Crimbo but I have a problem. Both my washer and new dishwasher have 1.5m waste hoses and standard length water pipes. It was fairly easy to buy a long cold pipe for the dishwasher or washer depending on which one...

Hi Try these as well:- http://www.doorsdirect.co.uk/acatalog/New_made_to_measure.html Hope you find what your looking for. Catherine

Hi Breezer Sorry to make you blush, hehe. I doubt very much that both would be on at the same time, but I will remember what you have said and make sure they arent on together. I will let you know how I get on when I finally get the machine and its running. Thanks again Catherine

Hi Breezer Thanks to your advice for the self cutting water pipe thing, we have taken it back and got a plastic white Y piece to put onto the existing water pipe and then run both the dishwasher and washing machin water from the Y pieces. Still waiting for my dishwasher to arrive at the...

Hi again Breezer My hubbie has checked the long waste pipe and unforuntely it just isnt secure enough to have anothe pipe coming off it, so I think at the mo the best bet would the little piece that juts off the 1/2 bowl drainer. The wter inlets come in across ways, so how can he a t...

Hi Breezer The story of what has happened with the other dishwasher is I was given it last weekend, my friend had had it stored in her garage for 4 years and never used it (although her mum had used it previously and it worked fine). Anyway she brought it to us and when we checked it out...

Hi guys Well after the drama of my other dishwasher blowing up, I have now purchased a brand new Hotpoint DWF70 Ultima machine, due in approx 3 weeks time. My husband has already sorted the water side out, he has self cut into the exisiting cold supply, but we are unsure of what to do with...

Althouhg I have got two moggies myself I have found a water squirter (obviouly you have to catch them to squirt them, crushed garlic, orange peel, egg shells near plants and around the garden. The bottles dont work in my garden nor does the fox Ive got sat there. The mogs round here...

Hi We have rewired the d/washer underneath using brenad new wire and clips, and checked the pump and motor and unsiezed the motor (using WD40 as directed by the engineer who is coming tomorrow). The machine sounds better but is still not pumping water into the spray bars. So the engineer...

Hiya again Well the machine has been stripped (sides, back and front off) and guess what - more chewed wires, so once my hubbie is home from work he is going to either tape the wiring up or cut and block it. There doesnt seem to be any burnt parts, the motor looks fine and runs okay, as...

Hi We have just replaced our carpet floor tiles in the bathroom with the Florentine Blue Tile Loc Wooden Floor from B&Q, yes it was a pain to fit, but when it came to the beading, obviously wooden beading doesn't bend round the toilet and sink, so heres a great idea which someone else told us...

Hi Thanks for replying Well Ive checked the spray bars and they are clear, so I thjink I will do as you say and get my hubbie to take the casing off and have a look inside. I noticed that the ob/off switch now pushed in wont come back out again, so I think a strip down of the machine is...

Hi I have just been given a Hotpoint 7871 (Super 12) Dishwasher (it is about 12 or 13 years old and has been stored for about 4 to 5 years in a heated garage) and although it works, and the heating element heats up, there is no water going through the spray bars, so of course nothing is being...
