Re: new washing machine has an odd smell

thanks for the reply dave.

I did as you said and the smell wasn’t as bad. So i did a wash on 60c and again no strong smell, then I put the dryer (on the high heat setting) and the smell came back.

Then i noticed steam venting out of the powder drawer.

So turned it off, waited for it to cool down and took the lid off. The smell is definately hot rubber which i guess is getting heated up by escaping steam.

Comet are going to have to returned to them cos there must be something wrong with it.

Re: siemens waterhammer

It is most likely a partial blockage in the entry to the sump from metering tank if you remove filter the entry to the sump is front left if you fill water in base get a small plunger type tool and push in and out a few times you should see the gunge appear in the water. The blockage causes . the water hammer due the level sw setting and reseting.

Re: Bosch SMS6032 – Running problem

Hi Greg

Seems a good idea to replace the hose as there’s life in the machine yet.
Thought I might change the inlet valve whilst about it as the solenoid can be noisy.
Part numbers would be useful.
Thanks.

HOOVER OPTIMA FROST FREE FRIDGE FREEZER
Model No HF 40 D001 UK

Hello Dave, I’ve completed your defrost instructions and it seems to be working a bit better, although not entirely. After the defrost, the freezer cooled down very quickly, but the fridge took 12 hours to get down to 5 degrees C (a little ice was forming on the back wall, I assume this is normal?) but each time the door is opened, it shoots up to 8/9 degrees and then struggles down again! Also when the fast freeze button is pressed the whirring noises it makes stop, as if switched off!
Lastly prior to this problem the F/F made a really loud clunk/judder as the motor cut out – it doesn’t seem to do that anymore, it’s much quieter now.
Do I have an unhappy Hoover? – I would welcome your views and advice.

Many many thanks
Tripoduk

Re: MFI APM6855 Fridge Problem

Thanks for your advice.

Does this still apply if the fridge / freezer is frost free? A friend with a similar fridge said it could be a faulty thermistor – is this possible?

Re: diplomat adp8322 integrated dishwasher problem

Hi, I’ve just moved into a house where they installed one of these dishwashers, never been used but they did’nt leave the instruction manual.

I’ve put salt in, added rinse aid and a glass protector and set the salt to the lowest setting but everything is coming out with a salty film and I’m having to hand rinse.

Has anyone got an instruction manual they could scan and email to me? Or look up what I should do with regards to this problem?

Thanks!

Re: MFI APM6855 Fridge Problem

Hi

Thanks – MFI are no use – they want a minimum of £80 for labour (callout), plus parts etc. I know an electrician, so if it was just a control board or thermostat to replace I am sure I could get it done much cheaper.

Obviously I’d have to get the necessary parts, hence the enquiry.

Re: Tricity Sovereign cooker

Stilts

Yes we can select all numbers, temperatures and times, but it just needs a delicate touch and a bit of patience. We’ve lived with the problem OK for last couple of years, and used the automatic settings on a very regular basis.

Only reason for getting rid of it, is because we’ve just acquired mum’s newer creamic top cooker.

We would prefer it going to a good home rather than the tip so will be prepared to accept your offer if you can collect within a reasonable length time – it’s sitting in the conservatory at present!

Re: Fisher Paykel Washer Mainboard Fault

Hi – I seem to be having a related problem.

My Fisher & Paykel Smartdrive 085 turns on OK, all buttons seem to work to change settings, but when I press start/pause, nothing happens. Can’t wash, can’t rinse, can’t spin. The board has been replaced once before and since that’s such an expensive exercise, we’ll just buy a new machine if it needs replacing again.

I’ve looked inside and the tech sheet is not in there. Fisher & Paykel in Australia refused to send a tech sheet too. (Although I have read that in NZ they will send a service manual to consumers?)

I’ve run the diagnostic mode and get the following:

00000000
00000000
00000000
01000100
00110111
00000010
00000011
00011001
01000001
00000010
11111111
000000**
00100100
01001001
00010100

The ** above indicates where the last 2 LEDs alternate between 0 and 1 (when one becomes 0, the other becomes 1).

If anyone can either help me get hold of a tech sheet/service manual, or help me to interpret these codes, I would really appreciate it. I can be reached by email to ennio at bigpond dot net dot au.

Re: Belling 924 Countrychef – Fan oven Element

I have a Belling 864. A week ago, whilst cooking I heard a loud pop noise, and saw a Flash of light inside the oven. Since then although the fan still works, there’s no heat being generated inside the oven. I’ve assumed that the element has blown (it’s about 3.5 years old – would that be the right timeframe?).

If it is the element, is it easy to replace? Or would you recommend that this is a job left only to professionals?

Many thanks in anticipation of your advice!
