Panic over lads. Just a lingering gum infection. I'm halfway through a course of dental treatment that has been delayed by Covid. My dentist is still learning to use the 2m extensions on his implements.

Sounds a bit of a boast to me

[Ray B]

Do you have somewhere you should be, I'll take over thank you.

[Stephen]

Yes, an appointment with a cold Peroni in the garden.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Well Curry's done good. New dishwasher delivered (free) as promised at 8.30 this morning.

And is now installed by moi and is working on catching up with the week's washing up..

For the experts among us (that means you Moby) installation was a doddle compared to the old one. You can now fit the décor panel without taking anything apart to do so (the old one was a pain), it has three feet rather than four, so levelling is much easier, and the single foot at the back (the back ones were a real ball-ache to reach on the old one) is now adjusted by a hex head nut thingy (sorry for the technical terminology) on the bottom panel at the front.

One's decor panel was a doddle to fit onto one's Neff but a bewggar on the Whirlpool that it replaced .... wot did you get ?

The old one was a Whirlpool. New one is Hotpoint. Got better on line reviews than a model £200 more expensive

Sorry to advise that Hotpoint are not my favourite Brand, I would seriously consider taking out a 5 year Insurance plan.

I am also surprised that Trish didn’t insist that you purchased said machine from John Lewis

[towny44]

Don't Whirlpool also make Hotpoint?

[Manoverboard]

Correct ... and Indesit.

Did I ever mention that we had a long and interesting chat with yon Desmond aka Tu-Tu ... it was inside his beloved Cathedral in Cape Town albeit many moons ago.

Merv was adjusting the machine using a hex head nut thingy. My, that's too technical for me to follow.

[Stephen]

It's like 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' with all dishwasher questions

They do. The Whirlpool lasted around 12 years with one new motor\pump assembly 4 years ago. The new one comes with a 10 year parts warranty so I shall mull over whether any extended warranty is worth it for labour only.

It cost £300. The premium brands were £500-£600 so they'd have to last twice as long!

Isn't it just although Merv chose not to ' phone a friend '

For those who feel this is technically beyond them can I remind them of the cowboy highly qualified exorbitantly priced very reasonable M&M consortium.

Our ' Whirlpool ' dishwasher was on a 5 year parts and labour guarantee but after 3 years it caused the inline circuit breaker to trip repeatedly. Their engineer claimed that the fault lay within the property and refused to meet our claim. Yeah right and up yours I whispered and installed a Neff ... 15 years later it hasn't missed a beat nor indeed has it tripped out.

These new machines do not last like wot the old ones did according to the local Company wot replaced our 18 year old Zanussi Washing Machine.

We also had an integrated Hotpoint Fridge / Freezer, the compressor failed and after trying unsuccessfully to convince me that the air flow around the machine was inadequate they offered me a brand new £650 machine if I paid them £300. I negotiated a £380 1600 stand alone fridge instead and gave it to one of the boys. The refrigeration units were replaced with Neff else Liebherr and these are also still running smoothly.

I truly hope that your machine is the exception to the rule of Moby

[Ray B]

Coincidence or what. I woke up this morning to my dishwasher making funny noises.
On further inspection it was only the vacuum cleaner she was using.

[Mervyn and Trish]

We'll sort you out a quote to fix it.
