First of all my Zanussi FJS1225W (2001), nearly 10 years old, the jetsystem pump is starting to make a loud buzzing sound, i don't know if theres a blockage or that the fact that its old, and part needs replacing.
It starts off really quiet, and then in the middle of the wash starts buzzing really loudly. Also every so often I get E90 on the display, this has something to do with the PCB and the contact wires. this can easily be fixed by having a look at the contact wires My Dishwasher - Tricity Bendix DH200W (2005) i was loading the dishwasher, and discovered the button for the rinse aid dispenser has broke off, so now it doesn't shut properly, not that i use rinse aid, as i use the all in one finish tablets. Can i get a replacement button for the rinseaid dispenser? or do i have to replace the whole dispenser mechanism? Thanks Kyle |

I am considering giving it a clean out, by running a hot cottons 90 wash with a bottle of white distilled vinegar, or some washing machine cleaner. it might be that the filter is blocked and needs cleaning out.
If i do replace the washer I may get a new 1200rpm whirlpool without the time remaining indicator, or an old bosch maxx, precision or WFF2000, or i may save up and buy a miele :D as for the dishwasher, it doesn't really matter, as i use an all in one tablet which substitutes the use of rinseaid it works so thats all that matters. |

Hey Kyle,
Sorry to hear about your problem with the jetsy - they're crackin' machines so fingers crossed it's easily repairable. I've heard good things about the new Whirly ranges, but also heard they take absolutely ages to complete a wash cycle, which is one of my biggest pet hates! You're probably right about the dishwasher - if it ain't broke, don't fix it, I guess. Hope you get sorted, Chris |

I was considering the old bosch maxxes/excel from early 2000s, or a reconditioned machine, if i found a WFF2000, that would be great.
I didn't know that new bosches had teathing problems, if i did get a new machine, it would have to have no time remaining indicator, as LEDs can get faulty over a few years. if i was to buy new i would buy a whirlpool or a beko i guess, or save up and get a miele or a maytag (asko) machine. |

I think you should try opening the filter and seeing if anything is stuck in it. Does your washer still work? I think you'd be stupid to get rid of a perfectly functioning washing machine just because it's making a funny noise. Get it checked out by someone if needs be and save yourself a lot of money!
Plus, from what I know, those Whirly's are very hit and miss. The 30 minute cycle isn't really much good for anything more than a few items and the full cycles take anything up to 3 hours to complete. The attached would be a much better option CLICK HERE TO GO TO AquaCycle's LINK |

Paul, that is a new release machine....
Which recommends the following out of the Beko range they have tested GBP299 - WM7335 with the only negative being 'a little noisy on the spin cycle' with a score of 70% GBP250 - WME7247 with the only negative being 'high water consumption on the easy care/fiddly control panel' with a score of 71% just missed out GBP280 - WME8227W only negative being 'slower top spin than some (1200) with a score of 69% Check them out....if you are in need of capacity, I'd be headed to teh 8kg machine WME8227W and pocketing GBP100.... |

....Whilst some of Which? findings are dubious, things like their reliability data seem on the whole to be very accurate. Therefore using them a guide is indeed a good idea. Liam. |

Hi Rich. My Bosch Max 5 is not made in Germany, they are made in Poland, but using Germany parts. Its a good washer, very quick, but the quality of the machine is very poor, plastic door catch. Paul |

What does any one on here think of Aeg/Electrolux, or Zanuusi machines. I am thinking of selling my Bosch when it gets repaired on Wed. Paul |

I had terrible problems with a polish made bosch in the 90's. In it's first 3 months it had a new door interlock, new motor and new PCB. I had to wait 3 weeks for the new motor to be fitted as it had to be specially ordered, Comet were worse than useless and I swore they would never get any custom from me again!

Hey Guys
If you buy an Indesit Company appliance (and possibly other makes) from Comet you will get a Comet engineer under the guarantee as they have brought the guarantee responsablity in order to get a better price on the machines. As has been noted their customer service can have its shortcomings....... Seamus |

If only that was truly the case. Half of these if not more dont give two hoots these days about what they sell or how they sell it. Very few I have been in actually reccomend anything decent and often have the low end budget made models ready to force on you. Even ask for a relatively simple to obtain spare and they will con you into buying a new machine or even refuse to check out unless the part is orderable on their computers with a special number lol. |

Hi Liam & Jon. The machine seems to be working ok now. Which said when it comes to consumer care, Comet are the wost offenders. Paul |
