    Re: Beko WME8227W tripping RCD on pressing power button

    Agreed. Very good value for 220 quid. Yes, if you have a look, disconnect the heater and try at least you might be able to cancel out the heater as the culprit. Next try disconnecting the motor and the the terminal block off the dc pcboard although the way they wire these machines might prove not too much.

    Re: Beko WME8227W tripping RCD on pressing power button

    Just a pointer.

    Last time I worked on this Beko WME series the dc module had blown. The dc module is the smaller module under the lid on the r/h/side of the machine. Same symptoms as yourself, switch on bang or trip if rcd. That was traced to the motor as the culprit shorting out and then taking out this pcboard. This is just a pointer only with luck it might just be a duff heater. Take wires off heater isolate them then try machine again. If it all goes to pot then check dc pcboard. If it looks like the board has blown tracks be careful you don`t get caught out lashing out on the parts as you might find that the main pcb is nuked too as well as the dc board as well as the motor. Sorry to be so pessimistic!

    Before you give up since you have changed the heater.
    Check motor brushes, the pressure switch/s* and air trap, and if a sole motor the tacho coil magnet / tacho coil hasn`t fallen off back of the motor It not that common that skiping to end is the pcb.
    * some models might have 2 pressure switches ? but I don`t know that as no pnc 914………../ number is given. if 2 p/swts the smaller black one controls the heater and the air trap to it might be blocked up. Just a wild thought!

    A shot in the dark on this one!
    Could be, or at least a couple of pointers, check the motor brushes to see if worn out, check the wash element as it maybe trickling to earth which back feeds into pcb and temporarily messes it around – ever inceasingly common, check the tacho magnet hasn`t fallen off the back of the motor. Check too the circulating pump motor for melted shorted out windings – this happens when the hose to the door seal gets blocked up, the pump pump`s against the blockage and over heats which can then take out the triac on the pcboard – not much fun when that happens. Also check the pressure switches and air trap though they do not usually give much trouble.

    Hi. I`ve never heard of it but these people at discuss o matic are the best people to ask since they cover American, Mexican, Cuban, and S America made machines with loads of collectors of circ 1940`s machines as members. They should be able to help you out.

    Looks like a really well made bit of kit so no wonder you want to keep hold of it.
    All the best with it.

    Re: Hotpoint WDPG9640 Aquarius + restarting rinse cycle

    Other than a pcboard problem which I don`t think that it is because they do not normally fail that way. It is possible that there is a problem with the dryer element running to earth ( or wash element though more likely to be the dryer element ) even though on the face of it it has nothing to do with the wash/rinse/spin cycles. Turn power off to the machine, remove lid, and pull off both wires off the dryer`s element and make sure if not insulated already that they are – get some electrical tape- you do not want anything suddenly touching something they shouldn`t and going pop, that would be the last straw. Then retry on quick wash and see what happens.Just an idea you could try because elements trickling to earth do not necessarily trip electrics let alone blow fuses but definitely do mess temporarily with the electronics in the pcb.

    Re: Haier washer dryer

    Water on the motor? Pump wires fallen off? Could try disconnect motor terminal block, set on to spin only see what happens. Then set on fill programme see what happens. But check wires to heaters, check around condenser unit.

    Re: Beko WMi81341 Spin issues

    Could be worth a look at the air trap chamber. look for the pressure switch, the thing that controls the water level, follow its thin hose down and you`ll find the air trap. It might be part blocked. If so the machine would over fill but not necessarily enough to cause a flood / error code, the air on pump out does not escape even though the machine has pumped out = the machine still thinks it has water in it = no spin.

    Re: Kenwood kdw60x13 help

    Google Partmaster spares, follow prompts the view exploded diagram prompt. There`s a whole service repair pdf on this model in colour and in bad English but at least it is published!! See page 11 for picture of the sump: there are 2 nozzles on far left of sump drawing the pressure switch hose goes on one of those nozzles-if you can blow through one nozzle you got the right one! See page 17 for picture of pressure switch just to make sure were talking about same part.

    Re: Bosch washer dryer

    UPDATE You get the same E13 code on a Whirlpool AWZ612 washer dryer. Same t/dryer heater fault although E13 points you to a door lock problem which it could be. Pulling the wires off the heater to try first could save you 60 quid on buying the wrong part.
    Looks like these particular Bosch and the Whirlpools are the same machines, probably both a rebadged up Smeg brand. All have very expensive spares costs.

    Re: Zanussi ZWD12270W1

    Faulty inlet valve perhaps can you hear a low key hum at the back where the valves are? Question is, does the machine do anything else at all? What happens if you put the machine on spin only? does the drum go around, does the thing spin? Can you hear the pump coming on, if you pour a litre of water does it pump it out?
    What is the pnc model code as read off the sticky ratings label, begins with 91. If the machine has brushes in the motor and these are worn out, apart from the drum not going round, other strange things can occur or rather just do not happen!

    Re: Logik L612WMB14 keeps saying e62

    E62 not listed but will probably be a motor related problem and no doubt, at a guess, it`ll be the motor brushes worn out which typically will not be available as a separate spare part. Most of these things use red plastic holdered brushes with the leading face -the bit that is in contact with communicator segments- angle to the right and if so you could use a pair of Indesit brushes part number:c00196539 may well do the trick-find a picture to match them to what you have. However they might have used a Seleni motor although they normally are fitted to Turkish made machines ( yours should be PRC/ Chinese ) or perhaps a Ceset motor or copy thereof but from memory it`ll be the Indesit look-a-like motor. It, if that in fact is the problem as this is a bit of a shot in the dark, shouldn`t be too difficult to repair the machine. Taking the motor off and then replacing the brushes is easier on the Chinese built machines because the front weight gets in the way of your screwdriver.
    Best of luck. ps any segments on the com that are raised don`t bother trying to fix the brushes it`ll be new motor time!

    Thanks for supplying the part number Martin for the unlucky fellow.
