Hi Mark, Sorry for my late answer I missed your reply in this thread. I use the recommended dosage for a front loader and this always gives me perfect results. Always remember that the detergent makers like us to use much more than we need so we buy more sooner. I have very soft water here so I...

AQGD169S Hi Mrx, I'm glad your getting a replacement Aqualtis, the AQGD169S is essentially the same machine as you had except for an 8KG capacity (62 Litre drum) and a halogen drum light. The graphics on the AQGD169S are slightly different and look better. Do check for discolored paintwork...

Hi Mike, Sadly I have not been asked to repair a twin tub in last two or three years, they seem to be virtually non existent in my area now. I have a Hotpoint Supermatic Deluxe 1414 myself which I bought new in 1998, sadly the end of an era. When they were in common use the most popular Twin...

Wonderful fun Hi Neil, There is nothing beats a Hoovermatic Deluxe for fun factor, a real enjoyable washing experience. David

Congratulations Hi Nicola, Congratulations on your new top of the line Miele W3985WPS. I bought my W3985WPS in October past and I'm very pleased with it. Alway remember to switch the machine on before you load the drum to avoid de calibrating the load sensor. David

Hi Mark, Its OK cleaning wise but the scents leave a lot to be desired and remain even after drying. The Tropical fresh scent is particularly overpowering. Andrew is most likely reacting to the scent in Daz (There is no shame in using Daz it's an excellent detergent) as it tends to linger even...

Liquid Chlorine Bleach Hi Mark, I have a Whirlpool 3LSC8255EQ1 DD Top Loader. Yes thin bleach is the correct bleach for Top Loaders. Use about 200-250Mls 1 cup per full load in the Speed Queen; also use a liquid detergent as the Oxygen bleaching agents in powdered detergents react with Chlorine...

Firefox Addons Hi Matt, I would love a copy of your addons file I like the idea of the bookmarks. My e-mail address is in my profile. Many thanks. David

Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin Hi Folks, Microsoft have released Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin, it allows Firefox to play Windows Media files within the browser. You can download it from my link. Hi Lawrence, If I understand correctly you want to download Flash movies .flv files...

Hi Nick, I forgot to say your mothers machine sounds like the Autowasher De Luxe Electronic 7133, it could also be a model exclusive to the Australian market. David

Hi Nick, The machine in the advert is the Bendix Autowasher Electronic 7148 800RPM spin. I am not surprised your mother's Bendix is still running perfectly, they were supremely reliable machines. They were prone to rusting of the cabinet especially around the detergent dispenser and the bottom...

BENDIX Quiet Reliability My absolute favorite among vintage front loaders! They were so quiet, stable, refined, extremely reliable and to top it all they delivered outstanding wash and rinse performance. The later Autowasher Electronic series 7148 and 7168 were even quieter and improved rinse...

VSO Image Resizer Hi Eddie, This free program called VSO Image Resizer is perfet for your needs. It adds a right click Resize Picture option to your system (Windows only). It's 100% freeware and contains no spyware or malware of any kind. 800x600 should be more than adequate size for the web...

It looks like a Hoover drum that someone has drilled extra holes in. If you look carefully the holes are not evenly spaced. David

Hotpoint Hi Darren, Very interesting; to be honest though the current range like your WT960 are in my humble opinion better looking machines. My engineers eye has spotted the Indesit Company drum assembly in these machines, I wonder does this spell the end for the GDA designed tub units? Or is...

Miele Hi Peter, I have a Miele W3985WPS which is Miele's current top of the line washer it cost me £1300. By default it only does two low level rinses on cottons cycles and to be honest does not rinse at all well unless Water-plus with extra rinse is selected. I have also selected maximum water...

Platinum Woolmark Cycle Hi Mrx, Yes that's the Platinum Woolmark cycle, I think it gives vastly better cleaning performance and less risk of damage or shrinkage than conventional extra gentle tumbling. The Superwash button also adds a similar distribution wash along with a higher water level to...

Motor Brushes Hi Chris, Are you sure the Motor Brushes are OK? It could be the PCB but it's more likely to be the Brushes; please take the Motor out of the machine and make sure the Brushes are OK before you buy a new PCB. Good luck. David

Hi Chris, I would suggest you try Tom's suggestion of checking the hoses and unplugging the machine for a while. Also check the Motor brushes for wear as failed brushes can cause the symptoms you describe. The PCB's in Bosch washers are generally very reliable but like anything electronic they...

Ariel Washes Whiter Hi Louis, I totally agree with you Ariel definitely washes whiter. I have tried literally every detergent over the years and Ariel consistently performs best for me. I am regularly asked how I get my whites so white and the answer is Ariel. Amway SA8 Premium with Bioquest is...
