    Re: panasonic na147vb2

    Damn decent of you Dave.
    Went there and it is the 3d thing that has 2 broken white wires. Ordered new 3d pcb because do not know where each broken white wires go to other broken white wires so therefore there`s a 50/50 chance of getting it wrong with the wires x`d and maybe nuking 250 / 300 quid main pcb was my worry. So me thinks play it safe!

    ” Got 8 years out of the Ise10 ”
    If it was a very hard used machine you did pretty well if used 4 times a week it was no better than some Indesit and any other brand of machine that cost circ 230 quid – I know of plenty of Indesits hanging on by their finger tips at 7 to 8 years old.

    ” I loved the concept of ISE, wasn’t happy with how the company, and particularly the warranty, disappeared though.”
    Neither were a great many other people I can assure you!

    ” The search for non throwaway sustainable products continues.”
    And buying a Miele hopefully you have found the very thing, I personally like the entry level 600 quid odd machine series, but fingers X`d it does not fail and certainly not out of any warranty = £ ouch! Not very likely Miele are going to go cease production is it?

    You could always, if you want to, map your ownership over the years of your new machine and update things on a year by year basis on this site; I`m always interested to hear on long term ownership trials and tribulations.
    All the best with your new purchase.

    This is the message for CaesarBV1. I do wish cheeky s*ds like this “faduque” character would start their own questions and not barge in front of previous messages like they are the only ones that matter!

    8 flashes should be either a duff wash heater or a duff relay on the pcboard, though usually it is the former. If the latter it`ll be a new pcboard which renders your machine beyond economical repair for all intense and purposes = 125 quid down the drain.
    Their are 2 possible wash heaters fitted to this model based on the serial number one is the short one about 6″ long part number C00066086 and the longer roughly 10″ heater part number C00064556, frankly you could have either. Knowing the approx cost price of the part the retail price should be no more than 12 quid for the short one and approx 20 quid for the longer one anything approaching 30 quid they have obviously been ” on the business management course “.
    All you need to do is to get the correct heater, then change it which is pretty simple for someone with 35 years experience but might not be for someone who has never done one before presumably like yourself. Since you have already lashed out £125 ( outrageous! ) and given them this money I should demand either a refund of £125 because the machine has not been fixed or get them to carry on and get their act together and fix the bloody machine; 30 years ago I used to work for Ariston / Indesit and they were pretty useless as a company back then, very badly managed, charge the earth but could not careless, not a lot changes does it?
    If you want to know all the fault codes go to top of this page look for help and advice, fault codes, click laundry, then find ” indesit washing machine and washer dryer with rotary dial ” and these are your fault codes even though it says Indesit, and then copy and paste and print them off to keep to hand..

    Hope this helps.

    Re: SMEG WDI147D-1 Integrated Washer Dryer – Error code 06

    Sometimes the pump wires part break at the connector so I would have a look there first. Your built-in Smeg washer dryer I recognise as another brand or at least its very similar. You also may find that the cause COULD be an earthing fault with the tumble dryer element of all things. Your machine can also be bought as a Bosch, similar machine as model wkd28350gb and a Whirlpool which is where I first stubbled on the whole sorry saga. If the pump connector / wires are ok and since you probably will not have a megger tester: If you take note of the heater wires relative to the mainfold heater terminals with a perm marker pen – very important that bit! – and remove the heater wires and insulate them if necessary ( though from memory they are already with plastic sleeves ) and then try the machine as just a washing machine over a couple of weeks. If you find that all is well you`ll need a new dryer element which is modified ( though yours may be already? ), a faff to fit, and an absolute rip off to buy so you want to prove what part has gone wrong otherwise it gets expensive.! You get E06 have you ever seen E13 by any chance?

    Re: Indesit washer/dryer continuously fills with water

    OR Possibly the dryer element and or the wash element have gone partly to earth is a possibility.

    Re: Asko W6021 Mains Filter Blowup

    Looking at a picture of the suppressor it is nothing special. You should be able to replace it with a cylindrical suppressor from whatever takes your fancy. Go and compare if that is the route you want to take.

    Re: Asko W6021 Mains Filter Blowup

    Cannot answer your question head on but surely the easy thing to do is to temporarily by pass the offending suppessor to see what works and what doesn`t. Usually you find when suppressors blow up everything else tends to be ok, ya can never be sure though until tried. If by passed and and nothing happens suspect any pbc first.

    Thx for reply.
    In other words there is a capacitor on the pcb that may have gone wrong. If it has change that capacitor. I`ll have a look before my usual blundering around. Cheers.

    The built into the sump pressure switch is spotless. Read drain pump works……. rather than draid pump works…….!

    And listed on Bosch`s website at £125.24p.
    The only comment I can make is: bug*er! Shaf*ed by the bloody Krauts, and yet we still come back for more time and time again, God we must either be mad or stupid or both or British!
    However having just calmed down…………
    If you take the door to pieces and see where the stupid plastic pip on the handle was, then mark it, then drill a pilot hole, and then find a suitable thinnish length wood screw you can make the handle work again so long as the hinge handle pivots are still ok in the door frame`s end moulding, you might have to play a bit with it but it can be done. There`s several on my books running this way out of necessity. One of these went terminal when the poxy pcb failed 6 months on ( nothing to do with this handle buisness ) so it`s a jolly good job she didn`t waste her money on a new door!
    Overall Siemens / Neff / and Bosch I have next to zero faith in, or to make it plainer: they are expensive but highly challenged contraptions….I despair at the things I really do!

    Re: Miele W842 – drain pump keeps stopping, but no blockage

    One thought! These things are fitted with a magnetic Askoll style of pump. Could simply be the pump bearing has worn out. If so the impellor would have a distinct amount of side play. Some Bosch pumps on older models fail the same way.

    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.

    Thanks didn`t know that! Not having the ” book of destructions ” was probably why though I have to admit it never even occured to me that the heat could be changed. We`ll have a play and see what happens. Cheers.
