Just come back from a repair job on an Indesit washing machine and had a nice tingle having touched the drum.Ouch.
Got out my mains tester and surprise surprise it shows no earth on the socket under the work bench plus a double socket for the kettle and toaster on top.
Took multimeter out and buzzed across the earth pins and nothing.Very old thatched cottage with owner living there for 6years and just the good old fuse box on the wall with downstairs wiring through the 30amp fusewire.
Tried to take off very newish looking metal double sockets to have a look for the customer but they had been grouted in?
Informed customer who did not seem to be interested in such a dangerous situation as he was busy watching rugby on the TV, have to go back with a part and get him to sign a letter for me as I reckon the sparks will not be contacted.My relatives thatched farmhouse roof took 18 minutes to burn down the complete roof.
Mmm some people just want to be in the Darwin book of death 2010.
Thanks again for pricing.

Re: Baumatic shambles
Back to my original thread the whole business is a breaking point….there are only 5 girls answering phones they have to ask to go to toilet….engineers are driving 1 1/2 hours to an area to work it for a full 8 hours and drive 1 1/2 home again…..common place for customers to wait 3 weeks for a visit no parts forecast by the office and another 3 wk wait for return visit…..with parts stripped from BER appliances…. think when i left were 22 engineers covering whole uk!!!
Re: Baumatic shambles
The well known BDW13 dishwasher has just been superceded with BDI631 this one has concealed tube heater and the common E3 fault caused by the thermal fuse has been replaced with a secondary pressure switch in the c tube that goes to feed top basket……idea being if water not circulating then no heat trouble is if customer doesent push top basket home fully and generate back pressure in the c tube hey presto E3 fault….seals leak after few months same problem…..steer well clear

Re: Rosieres Paul Bocuse access to inside
Hi
the elements are changed from the rear which will involve you pulling the appliance out to gain access to the rear.why take off the grill element ?.
yes you may well cause more damage if you wire the element up incorrectly,as for replacing the thermostst ” why ” ?.
what part of the country are you as if your not sure about this appliance then it may well work out cheaper to get an engineer who knows what they are doing .

Re: Baumatic BDW13 temperature sensor location
if heater is heating and E3 at end of the wash then its the sensing device look throiugh left inspection cover just behind 1/2 load solinoid on wash pump…..slap new sensing devive on with loads of heat sink compound….on all these BDW13 you can check continuity of heating circuit from pcb between pink wire marked htr and whit marked n hope this helps…also dont forget e3 can be caused by stuck wash pump or motor cap failure
