    Water regulations state:
     "the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length."
    Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a standpipe, that the end does not go down more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon ie. continuously empty."

    If this is any help.
    It doesn't " exceed 150cm "

    Cant see why they have a problem then. sound to me like they were just trying for extra work.

    Hope you ask for your money back and some compensation for out of pocket expenses  :)

    My usual plumber is coming in on his way home to fit it. I'll take my chances.

    Just busted my hair dryer trying to speed up defrosting the freezer. Curmudgeonly hardly describes it  :s:s

    @DyersEnd ((hugs))  I remember Wonky's Papa standing a big SuperSer calor gas heater in front of the open upright freezer to try to speed up the defrosting ... he melted the door!!!  

    Thank your stars it's only a hairdryer and not the freezer door!   ;)

    I use hairdryers too but not mine, always the spare, just in case.

    That reminds me of FIL's tale of a friend who bought a second hand outboard motor and thought he'd check it was working... in the bath.

    A few saucepans of boiling water on the shelves and leave the door shut is my method.

    Hairdryer with a diffuser, bowls of water and copious old towels worked for me -until I got a frost free freezer. Still got the same OH -for now.
