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?

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.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. 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.

DerbyBorn used his keyboard to write :

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.

I've seen magnets clipped to steel pipes on commercial heating systems.
I guess the theory is they collect rusty particals as they go past.

Yup. I've got a MagnaClean on our system. Keeps down the black sludge
and saves the heat exchanger.

Some have other magnets/crystals/wires attached to pipes for various
voodoo treatments and avoidance of dark curses. Them be mad me thinks.

I'm not convinced, if the heating system is reasonably maintained. Ours
is 36 years old, has had inhibiter in from new, has only been drained
once in that time and was clear - then refilled complete with
inhibiter.

Hotpoint HD(?)420 or something. It was me that worked out the issue and
devised the fix. It failed just out of warrantee and they wanted £180
for a replacement PCB.

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.
Fluff is a major cause of tumble drier fires.

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?

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.

Fluff is a major cause of tumble drier fires.


The air coming out of the dryer should not be that hot.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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?

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.

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?"

I learned the hard way to check the pump outlet on the washing
machine.

I wouldn't even know how to get to the pump outlet, on my washing
machine

the only accessible parts are the door, the soap tray and a few
buttons


Quite a few machines have a little flap at the bottom front (if you're
lucky). Behind that.


I think they went out when zip fasteners were invented.


Including my 3 year old Bosch?
