Re: Electrolux Aqualux 1200 Washer/Dryer
A new washer dryer would be very nice but at £500 a time for the luxury of being built in its a non starter for such a small problem.
The blower fan turns freely its the motor that turns slowly with or without the drive belt fitted. What should the rpm of the motor be? What is likely to be the fault? Thanks Allan 😆Re: Smeg SUK62MFX Main oven won’t heat up
Hi Penguin,
Thanks, but we have tried that. The fan comes on, but there is no heat and the timer subsequently turns itself off (after the set time).

Re: DeLonghi Integrated Dishwasher D 12 S – COLD CYCLE
Speaking of the Kenwood KDW12SS, my one has just developed a fault, the other day i realised that it had been running for about 5 hours so i stopped it mid cycle. Now i can’t get it to reset back to it’s initial stage ie the buttons don’t work ( i’ve found that if i turn on the power while holding down the P button all the lights go on and i can get it to do various things by pressing the buttons). I’m sure that the correct combination of button pushed will reset the machine – does anyone know how?

Excellent. As I suspected.
I have changed both and no there was nothing supplied with the stats.Many thanks Guys

Re: about cda-europe.com
We have dealt with CDA for a few years now and I for one will back them as one of the best companies to be associated with.
John Hopwood who is the Customer Service Director for CDA is one of the smartest, straight talking decent service directors in this business, I’m sure others will testify too.
Yes, I rate them.

Re: Gorenje
To expand on the very last point..cost!
Here in independent land we have been working extremely hard to raise our reward for contract work. Nowadays we are aiming at £40.00 per completed call, which is a realistic figure for us to operate and make a profit. To back that up we want tech support and product training, in return we can deliver excellent representation of the product with excellent engineering skills. No issues. We are doing it now and plenty of work comes our way through various channels, its unlikely we will do work for manufacturer who offers less.
If you add an admin fee for a work provider then any manufacturer who wants what we can deliver will have to dig deep. Excellance costs!
Its time for all of us in this industry to (employed or self employed) to realise we deserve more for our efforts and skills.
KevinRe: error code E33 on a zanussi FJS1225W washine machine
thanks but phoned local zanussi dealer, told me e 33 was a pressure switch
problem ,so got new one and washer working fine.Re: Electrolux seems possessed!!!
It’s not the tacho……
I stripped the tacho down last night and it was fine. It’s quite nicely made, and whilst there’s clearly room for improvement in how it’s made, the most obvious problem that would occur doesn’t seem to have.
I don’t know if this is how they are on all washing machines, but I assume this is how it works on my Electrolux.
On the end of the motor shaft is a small lump of plastic. Embedded into it are a number of magnets (6 I think?) The magnets are aligned radially – i.e. like spokes on a wheel – and I assume are oriented NS, then SN, then NS, etc. This produces a set of six magnetic fields looping out from end of each magnet and back into each neighbour.
I assume the tacho sensor is just a coil wound radially around the whole lot? Alone, this wouldn’t sense anything, as the field is radial and the coil is axial, so, as the motor shaft turns there are no net changes to the field cutting the coil. The clever bit is that the coil is surrounded by two stamped pieces of steel, one mounted on either side. On the inside of the coil are shaped fingers. These fingers are the same size as the ends of each magnet. There are effectively two sets of fingers, one on each stamped steel component, and they fit together alternately on the inside of the coil. I haven’t counted them, but I assume there may be twice as many fingers as there are magnets?
As the rotor turns there are alternatively N and S poles under each set of fingers. The fingers couple the field back through the tacho sensor, so that a field of alternating N/S crosses the coil. In effect, the steel assemblies are a radial to axial field converter, and pulse doubler. Each revolution of the motor therefore produces several AC cycles of tacho output – perhaps 12 cycles per revolution?
I assume the problems which can arise with this design include the disks coming apart (which would weaken the sensor output), or the disks slipping so that the two sets of fingers converge (which would also weaken the output, nd make the signal lopsided). Alternatively a magnet could work loose from the plastic mount?
On my tacho, everything seems present and aligned, so I’ll wager it’s producing good output. As I’ve said before, I suspect the digiboard is playing up, so when I get another chance that’s the next thing to check.
If anyone’s still interested I will let you know how I get on…..

Hi
If dave can find the original manufacturer I may well have the replacement jets in stock for these dependant on the jet size.

Re: Indesit WD10 wont shut off water supply
Hi,
It does this even during the wash cycle, as long as the drier timer is on. In the meantime, I have disconnected the wires going to the drier switch and everything else appears to be normal. Where can I get a replacement module?Re: Indesit WE16 UK with failing Drum bearings – Fix or Repl
I am a Hotpoint Indesit engineer the Evolution and Omega range have a 5 year parts g/tee.
Re: Indesit WE16 UK with failing Drum bearings – Fix or Repl
That model has a 5 year parts g/tee if you contact Indesit it will cost max £89.98 even iff whole drum etc required.
