![]() "JohnP" wrote in message . .. Aye, they don't seem to be the most reliable of machines and there is all the faffing about loading, unloading, powders, rinse aid, salt etc. OK I think you can get "all in one" pods these days but I guess the salt requirement is still there. We use 3 in 1 tablets - the Salt and Rinse Aid settings / warnings are turned off in the settings. Siemens. Had it for about 8 years. No faf - wash the filter about once a week. I don’t do it anything like that often and I don’t do anything to the stuff that goes in the dishwasher except know chop bones off into the bin first. |

It would be of no use unless the tear-down was of a brand new machine still on sale. Thats what I meant he should do. It's much like people recommending a brand that they purchased 20 years ago and because it has lasted that long (possibly only for them) then this is the one to go for. They tend to forget that during this period the brand has been sold on few times and the design changed 10 times. When looking for a new machine it may be more sensible to see who actually owns the brands and to see if the many different brands are manufactured in the same factories. But plenty have cheap and nasty brands and better ones coming out of the same factory. Also take a good look at the facilities you use on your current machine. Is it worth paying a couple of hundred quid more for a machine with tens of extra wizzy-wizz gimmicky features that you would never use? With modern designs, a clive points out, the extra stuff doesnt always cost any more. And someone may suggest a better way of cooking rice, in a microwave instead of in a pan on the stove and if you dont have a decent digital microwave you wont be able to use it to do rice better. |

After serious thinking misterroy wrote :
How does the flow meter tell how much water is in there? or I am barking up the wrong tree? It's usually a very sensitive diaphragm switch. A flexible pipe leads up to the switch, from the lowest part where the water goes, which works on air pressure. The tiny amount of pressure operates a rubber diaphragm, which then operates a pair of contacts. If you blow gently in the bottom end of the pipe, you should hear the switch click. What happens is the pipe gets choked with food debris, so no longer senses the rising water level. |

Does yoor normal oven have te ability to start a roast hard to crisp te skin then turn itself down to tenderise the meat futrherr without drying it to a shredded inebible mush The total system does allow me to select roast and weigh the joint and starts when it needs to to have the roast ready to plate at the time I choose to eat. And does that multi phase stuff auto too. Better to have the higher temp in the last phase, not the first. And the potatoes are done in a separate air fryer for better roast potatoes. All the work except plating done at the one time and the system tells you that its time to carve and plate it. All you do is prove that digital microwaves are for people who cant cook Bull****. Its the most convenient way to do rice and zap the frozen veg. As I said, you dont know how to cook How odd that I can do everything from a roast leg of lamb to curry, xmas cake, marmalade, relish, steak etc etc etc and even get real radical and work out how to answer an incoming call on a mobile phone too. |

Bought from warehouse stockist so not the latest models. I'm a bit nervous as the current one is *built in*! My biggest beef concerns the crockery manufacturers who have not learned to put drain slots in the bases of cups/mugs. Even the inclined shelves do not solve this. End of cycle, everything nicely dried except for the puddle of water trapped in each cup/mug base:-( So, open the door and carefully soak up the excess with the nearest tea towel! -- Tim Lamb |

My Bosch has a real quirk about starting and there are some failures with the racks and someone is offering one on facebook for not much money and I am considering getting it. It clearly isnt the same model as mine but I wouldnt want one of yours and would be happy with one like his. |

You can often get it going by using the reset setting on the cycle control. Sometimes that can take 4-5 resets. That doesnt put any force on the door at all, its a rotary control which is used to tell it which cycle you want and the reset is just one of those which flashes the lights until you stop it with the on off switch. Thats why I think it might be a bad cap, it appears to be the controller having a brain fart. Much less often it does seen to not complete the cycle which also hints at a bad cap. Try a knee against the door. Never have any problem with the door. I do sometimes manage to add something I have forgotten to put in the machine, just after I have started it and it always stops fine when I open the door to put the forgotten item in and continues fine once I close the door again. |
