Am glad you managed to get an AEG engineer come and look at it, was it under warranty after all? Or is it a good will gesture? Fingers crossed they sort it for you. It is curious that no error showed up on display, it just let the cycles continue but with no heat. Quiz the engineer as to why, we...

Aeg Just a thought before you strip the machine, double check the warranty situation as all 3 AEG appliance I bought over the last 2-3 years came with 5 year warranties. Very doubt this machine is 5years old! I would personally try washing again but set time save to shortest cycle on cottons...

Paulc That's in my day, I came to Aberdeen in 1989 to go to Uni and stuck! Our paths could have crossed - the 90's were my heyday! Yes I love my AEG, it he set started with having to replace a proper German built AEG washing machine when it got frazzled by a power surge during parking meters...

British Fridge please excuse the state of the utility room in the previous picture, I just haven't got round to finish fitting it and so it has become an undecorated dumping ground. The picture below is of the inside of the fridge, this is it very bare, having not gone shopping for 9 days as...

British Fridge The English Electric icebox fridge, was probably purchased around 1967, I am sure it was considered to be very modern then being compact and streamlined. You see in the Uk fridges before this used be large, in fact very large, I still remember my grandparents in a soft English...

British Fridge First things, Margot Leadbetter's kitchen in the Good Life I am pretty sure was an Elizabeth Ann kitchen dating from around 1976. Not only remembering very similar being fitted for my parents in our house then, but recently I have removed an almost identical to Margot's, in great...

Spot makes and models The second advert showed a few glimpses of a Creda Jackson Topline. Jackson was a cooker manufacturer in their own right for many years before coming under the Creda umbrella. The Jackson Topline was a superior cooker and was my favourite ever to cook on. Parents bought it...

ozzie908 Hi ozzie908, Yes Dreft was originally a high lather detergent, when it was invented in 1933 it was targeted as a general detergent, advertising was concentrated on its use for washing dishes and how you could leave glasses to drip dry with no smears! It was in 1984 that in UK the...

Thanks for all your comments. I have been looking into this a bit further and it turns out Dreft Handwash was phased out in 2012 and so it was inevitable that Dreft for automatics would go the same way, as I have always used the automatic version I never noticed. Laundress is correct as always...

Having received the sad news today over the phone I have been bereft and in a state of flux trying to work out how I will be able to go on without. After making many calls I have managed to make temporary arrangements to deal with the immediate loss. Some of you may already know the sad news in...

Hotpoint Toploader Many years ago I had one of those Hotpoint top loaders purchased second hand when I was a student. It was a deluxe model with variable thermostat which was faulty so would not shut off the heater so we used it manually selecting a temp and once water was hot enough turned it...

Dish towels Just realised I had used "tea towel" which in uk means the same as "dish towel". I would assume that a dish cloth is the same in both parts of the world being a cloth used wet to wipe down, wash dishes etc. On washing kitchen linens I always select the anti allergy cycle on the AEG...

Tea towels I was brought up that tea towels should always be ironed as the heat of the iron sterilises them making them safe for food environment. Tea towels are always washed in a hot wash (min 60'C) first. It is the use of fabric conditioner that reduces absorbency if you are over zealous!! I...

iPhone auto correct Willies = Woolite Oops should have spotted that before posting

Steam cycle The Aeg protex model I have has two steam cycles. One to refresh and a longer de wrinkle cycle. You can use either cycle with both dry clothes or just washed wet. The refresh is designed to freshen up garments when lightly worn and can be used on dry clean items. It is therefore...

Autosense Great find this is a great dryer. My mother bought this very dryer new as a matching set with the Hoover electron 1100 energy save washing machine in 1985. When my mum went abroad in 2001 the washing machine still fully working went sadly to the skip but I left a note on it to say...
