Thanks Penguin45!
Don’t suppose you know of anyone good in Brighton? The database doesn’t have anyone…
Re: WHIRLPOOL ADP 5966
for your records i am posting the solution to this problem.
the flashing start button was due to water on the drip tray triggering the polystyrene float’s micro switch.
after cleaning up & resetting, i raised the machine on bricks and started the normal cycle. within seconds i could see where the leak was coming from – a loose hose/circlip.
fixed in 2 minutes and it cost me nothing.
Re: indesit dishwasher DI 62 tablet unreleased
it is washing and drying, all dishes are as clean as can be without any detergent/tablet being used
it seems to me as if the holder lid is stuck and doesn’t open as it should.
sometimes it remains closed at the end of a cycle,once i open it the tablet has swollen and is stuck inside, other times when i open the door the holder opens and the tablet falls out again swollen and mushy.
thanks for your help
Re: Indesit Dishwasher no water circulation
Thanks for your help. I replaced the motor and impellor unit and it works. The old unit was very stiff to turn and the impellor had started to disintegrate where it is connected to the motor. It would seem that over the years it had become over tight.
Re: Hotpoint Aquarius 1000 WM22
Martin,
I appreciate your help. The reason I came here is because I cannot afford to pay someone to do this job for me.
Anyway thanks for the hint, I got the front panel off, and sure enough the sump was full of gunk which I’ve now cleaned out. I’ve even managed to get the machine back together again without having any parts left over.

Re: LG GR409GPA Frost Free-Fridge compartment not working
Most of the electronic programable ones have fault diagnostic built into the controls.
The fridge warm and freezer ok is quite a common reported fault, which can be over-icing of the freezer evaporator. without running diagnostics you can only switch it off and allow a defrost period of 24 hours(freezer door open), to see if…..when switched back on the fridge cools down. If so over-icing was the reason but not the fault, you still need to investigate(engineer) why it happened.

Re: Bosch Classix (WFX3267) marking clothes with regular pat
I spoke with one of the guys as Proctor & Gamble on this yesterday Andrew and they, like me, suspect that it’s something in the water as the marks look as if they where created on spin as the water was expelled from the clothing. Which pretty much holds with Kirk’s post as well.
From the photo there’s no clear cut, “this is what it is”, but that’s the answer essentially. If you want to know for sure then look at the side of the pack of Ariel and there is a number there for support and they should be able to analyse one of the garments for you and pinpoint the exact cause.
That sounds quite plausible. Obviously the thicker cotton absorbs the dirty stuff from the water as it gets expelled. So there may be something in the plumbing of the w/m itself that is introducing the stains – oil leakage, perhaps. I don’t think it’s likely to be either the detergent (have tried two different kinds, never gave any problem before) or the water supply (never gave problems with old w/m), so perhaps the w/m was built on a Friday afternoon… 😉 But I shall keep an open mind for the time being.
Many thanks indeed for all the help and research, and I shall report back after the Bosch engineer’s visit.
Andrew.
Re: new motor in freezer
I have been on to the engineer this morning and he reluctantly is coming back on friday. He seems to think all freezers make a noise and its something you get used to. Fraid not, this is too loud. Will see what happens. Thanks for reply
Re: Blomberg 1301 ABB carbon brushes
They look the same as the carbons that Watermeade was after in the post below this one. The motor is a Selni and I am now off to search for Qualtex parts (possibly CAR79).
Thanks for the rapid response, and I have never been here before but it certainly looks like a useful resource that I might well return to. I might look into the off topic part as well as I do browse one or two forums for the general chat.Re: Blomberg 1515 AAA Motor Brushes
I am looking for a set of the same brushes for a Blomberg 1301 ABB.
I have considered the fitting of an alternative carbon made to fit, but working for an electric motor manufacturer am aware of the potential for further problems.
If anyone can confirm a source of the correct parts I would appreciate this.
Re: Bosch Classix (WFX3267) marking clothes with regular pat
Do you live in a hard water area? we get called out on a regular basis.
It s a combination of hard water and 40 degree washes, carry out a service wash: 90 degree with a cupful of washing soda it may take a couple of washes to clear it.
We do live in a hard water area (Cambridge). I followed your advice – 90deg wash w/soda. Then we ran another light load through, with a reduced spin speed. It doesn’t seem to have improved things significantly. In fact, light cotton items don’t seem particularly clean, never mind the odd marks.
Very puzzling. We have arranged for a Bosch engineer to visit in a couple of weeks, so I’ll see what he says…any other thoughts here appreciated, since I’m not sure he’ll be able to diagnose it either.

Re: Siemens d/w SE24661/12
Hi
What usually upsets these is the metering hose, joining pressure unit on l/h side to sump, its a stiff ribbed hose about a foot long and o rings in.
Usually gets gunged up and sends it to oblivion. I would check and clean it.Also, another symptom of the above is fill,stop,fill, stop causing banging in plumbing of house.
Regards
Greg 🙂
