Dishwasher repair...

[carreauchompeur]

Anyone have experience of any mobile appliance repairers in Bristol or hereabouts? My dishwasher is kaput and my fault finding has failed.

Ta!

You have been feeding her haven't you? Maybe a new pair of shoes would get her back on track...

I was chatting about this to the people who are putting in our kitchen (our dishwasher has packed up too). Apparently appliances are so cheap that there's no market for these kinds of engineers now, so they have all shut up shop. Terrible waste.

Having said that we've been without our dishwasher for five months and I can't say I miss it enormously, quite enjoy washing up.

You havent told Mrs Yertis that, have you?

You see, these things spread......The consequences of a careless comment could be horrific for us all!

We struck a deal early on. I look after the crockery and cooking utensils, and keep all that stuff clean, and she does all the laundry.

You could try BDA, i have used them for Neff, although they do have a £50 call out charge, which is later deducted from the repair bill;

Thanks, good shout... £50 isn't a disaster really if they then say it is FUBAR. Having said that, there are quite a few cheap good second hand ones on eBay, so if worst comes to worst I'll just replace it.

Try Green and Burton in Thornbury. They've fixed pretty well every broke appliance here

Thanks all, I've got someone coming out on Saturday. Diagnosis is £40+VAT, therefore if it's FUBAR that's the worst case scenario, then I buy one from eBay. I can live with that.

Aaargh,

Grumpy chap came out this afternoon, declared that he "couldn't wait around all afternoon" for the fault to manifest itself (I'd already told him it happened on the drain cycle) and then went away again. Didn't charge which is a result. I wouldn't have paid anyway.

Another result is that whilst he was looking at it I've noticed that actually the fill hose is leaking at the tap end... Which will be the main problem.

Whether it's a co-incidence or through my tinkering the dishwasher also seems to be leaking somewhere internally... Aaargh!

Will you be asking Yorkieboy to tow it somewhere for you now?
