As someone who enjoys tinkering and is a bit dissapointed if the filter in
the dishwasher really didn't need cleaning, it got me wondering how the hopeless and feckless get by with their appliances. I have friends who have a cleaning lady. I must ask if they get her to do these maintenance tasks. Idle moments can be filled with cleaning the filters in the Dyson, Checking the washing machine seal for coins, checking its pump outlet, dismantling the oven to clean it, de-fluffing the tumble drier - even cleaning the Magnetic thing in the central heating and adjusting the pressure. Do people just await a breakdown - or is there a job opportunity for a Handyman? |

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

I learned the hard way to check the pump outlet on the washing machine. It eventually stopped working, and helpfully told me why. I couldn't get the cover on the front of the pump undone without destroying it; it was seized, and in fact there was so much muck in there it wouldn't have turned anyway. I changed the pump. It was still a major job getting the cover off the old punmp (it involved a Dremel). I now have a serviceable spare, any way. -- My posts are my copyright and if @diy_forums or Home Owners' Hub wish to copy them they can pay me £1 a message.

DerbyBorn used his keyboard to write :
Do people just await a breakdown - or is there a job opportunity for a Handyman? I do odd bits when I remember, but sometimes things get to the point of a breakdown. The washing machine broke down last week, or rather it complained enough for me to give it a service. She had twice complained that it had come to a stop mid cycle, on the third such stop I investigated. Early in its life, I had to carry out a repair on the PCB - a capacitor going high in value due to heat - which had exhibited similar symptoms. So I was expecting a repeat performance of the same. It turned out to be just the pump out filter choked up with tissues and coins, but it involved heaving the washer out and raising it up on wooden blocks in order to drain the water remnants and get at the filter underneath and at the rear 8-o As it was out, I gave it a good clean out and checked its condenser dryer section and found a spade terminal on it, floating about loose. Luckily we never use the dryer section, or it would have blown the fuse. So as it was apart I cleared out the fluff and gave everything else a good coat of looking at. She had in mind, a getting new washing machine. Þ Nowt much wrong with it really, it looks new and it must be close to 10 years old. Better yet, I know most of its foibles. |

It failed just out of warrantee and they wanted £180 for a replacement PCB. |

Why would I want to work for a company that can't make a simple device? Where did I say that you would want to work for a living? Just up there. I did not suggest that you would like to work for a living. You have never done this. I have had two 6 year normal jobs. Tell me why fluff could ever possibly go anywhere near the heating element. Tell me why fluff filters are there. To remove the fluff from the clothes before it's blown into the room. Tell me, do you heat the air after it leaves the clothes? What would be the point in that? You have the Degree, you tell me - bollock brains. You have been entertaining tonight. I poked you with a stick and you jumped. I explained how a tumble drier works, this is clearly beyond your simple taxi driving fire extinguisher hanging mind. What is the most complicated job you have ever done? Chief Engineer. Beats a Sky call centre droid who ran away after six weeks as he was to stupid/yellow to handle the job. |

Two things that come to mind are I always empty the upright vacuum cleaner canister before use even it it is almost empty, and I always clean the fluff off the tumble dryer screen before use. I always the canister after every use, clean the fluff off the tumble dryer filter after every use. Pointless. Do you also fill your car with petrol when you've used a tenth of the tank? Vacuum cleaners start to smell if the canister is left to fill up. The canister and filters on ours are washed out every month. A freshener is also put in the canister. Do you have the nose of a dog? Anyway, the filter stops it smelling. I just clean the filter when the bag is full. Maybe that's your problem, you're using bagless. The smell can escape too easily. I have a keen sense of smell and my home smells nice. The filter does not stop smells. Bags full of **** are used by pikeys, such as you. The bag help filter the smells. HA! You have six stinking cats and you wait until the bag gets full! The cats make the stinky stuff outside. Yeah, sure they do. Cat hairs, fur, Why is that a problem? To anybody who takes pride in their home it is. You will never understand that. They make no more fur than a dog, which you have. **** and **** are quite acceptable in your home. Pikey. Council estate fodder are you. Those go in my neighbour's garden, not in my house. The cats live in your house and stink it out. They **** in your elderly neighbours garden and you laugh at an old man. You disgust me. My house does not stink. My neighbour's garden is outside, it gets fresh air. Fluff is a major cause of tumble drier fires. The air coming out of the dryer should not be that hot. I do not like posting links, but for a pillock such as you I'll do it. https://www.theguardian.com/money/20...safety-scandal "caused by a faulty tumble dryer" Well done. So nothing to do with fluff. All to do with fluff FAULTY tumble dryer. Fluff. Which cannot get to the heater. The heater is first, then the drum of clothes, then the filter. Simple. Tell Hotpoint/Creda of your wisdom..................... pillock. Explain to me why a tumble drier would blow cold air on the clothes then heat it afterwards. http://www.itv.com/news/2016-10-06/h...a-safety-risk/ Why did you snip this one? https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/1291...e-deadly-list/ Couldn't be bothered looking at 3. Then why snip it? Because I wasn't referring to it. I was. You gave three, I replied to two, think yourself lucky I bothered that far. I see the silversurfers are telling you to **** off now. One does not like me. He is a bit of a tosser/God person. Quite few have k/f you. Continue your racist comments and they will all killfile you. They're a bunch of softie Muslim lovers. "excess fluff coming into contact with the heating element." - the fluff is on the outbound section, the heater is on the inbound section. Fluff should not touch the element. Tell Hotpoint/Creda of your wisdom. It's quite simple. Room air goes over the element, then hot air goes over the clothes, then it goes through a filter before leaving the dryer. Any other sequence would not make sense. Tell Hotpoint/Creda this. Man with a Degree. I'm sure that they will offer you a job to get you off tax credits.

Beats a Sky call centre droid who ran away after six weeks as he was to stupid/yellow to handle the job. They didn't pay enough, they treated their staff like ****, and they treated their customers like ****. Did you know Sky charge people for the time they're cut off? Don't pay your bill, and then come back 3 months later, and you owe them 3 months for the TV you haven't had! That's criminal. I will have no part of such stuff. Oh, and you have to start work 30 minutes before you're paid! You must arrive at 7:30 for an 8am shift, because their computer systems are so crap it takes 30 minutes to log on! -- My younger sister was having one of her first gynecological appointments and she had some questions for the doctor. "Doctor" she asked, "I can't ask my parents, They would kill me but my boyfriend wants to have anal sex. I don't know what to tell him, I mean I don't know anything about it. Can I get pregnant?" The kindly old doctor smiled whimsically and replied "Of course, you can my dear. Where do you think lawyers come from?" |
