appliance

A home appliance, also referred to as a domestic appliance, an electric appliance or a household appliance, is a machine which assists in household functions such as cooking, cleaning and food preservation.
Appliances are divided into three types:

small appliances;
major appliances, or white goods;
and consumer electronics, or brown goods.This categorization is reflected in the maintenance and repair of these types of products. Brown goods typically require high technical knowledge and skills (which get more complex with time, such as going from a soldering iron to a hot-air soldering station), while white goods may need more practical skills and force to manipulate the devices and heavy tools required to repair them.

    Appliance waste problem

    I've just moved in and my new Dishwasher is giving an error indicating a problem with the waste or waste pump. If I leave the hose in the sink to drain I do not get this error. Would this indicate the waste pipe is blocked? Should I be calling Dynorod or whoever? Thanks, Chris
