USEFUL INFORMATION
This page is here to help to diagnose, simple problems that do not require a service visit. Please feel free to e-mail me a question.
Washing Machines
On washing machines in the South Limescale IS a problem. Add the recommended amounts for a Hardwater area. You can use a descaling agent, but is not neccessary if you use the recommended amount of detergent.
If you have a filter to clean on your washing machine and your machine is not behaving, unscrew it and you may find it is clogged up. (May be worth tilting the machine back if you are able and it is safe to do so, or putting a towel underneath).
Dishwashers
Dishwashers need dishwashing salt and rinse aid. If your results are suffering check the salt levels and top up if neccessary. You still need to use salt if use a 2/3/4/5/789 in 1 tablet!!!
(The salt is used by the dishwasher to clean the water softener inside your dishwasher).
Make sure you clean your filters and the spray arms are clear. It is easy work for me to unbock spray arms, but it is something you can do yourself just as easily.
Tumble Dryers
Tumble Dryers have filters to clean. Condenser Tumble Dryers have condensers to clean. Check these if your drying performance is suffering.
If you have a hose to exhaust the hot air, check it is not blocked with fluff, or if it bends or where it exits the property
