Re: Necht Dishwasher
Kevin,
I have problems with Automatic Dishwasher NECHT WQP12-6015.
Water not draining & washing on a cold cycle instead of 65 degrees.
Please can you advise. (only3 month’s old)
PaulRe: Indesit WG1130T
Hi, I have the same washing machine. Can you tell me (as you are looking at the back of the machine) which side the hot pipe is on and which side the cold should be?
Ta!Re: One more…
If we won enough free trips it will fit in with the meeting abroad idea, next call you get ask if they will promote the idea for us… 🙄
Re: New Whirlpool not making ice cubes
ok, the prongs should not move by hand, they are driven by a motor and module on the end of the ice maker.
So this is the possible fault.
Although you move the prongs you are not moving the switch gear.
It looks like you’ll have to wait for whirlpool service……

Re: New Whirlpool not making ice cubes
ok, next is that there was an issue with the water pipe feeding the ice tray unfortunately suffered from freezing of the water before it could get out of the pipe, result no water and no ice.
So, the prongs of the ice maker what relative position are they(think of a clock face, if you are looking left to right, end on. The fill position is 12 oclock and the rest position is 2 oclock, as the fill is timed if in the “at rest position” then water supply is the problem.(is it frozen? If you look you can see it) If the prongs are in any other position then the ice maker or the rear power card is at fault.
There is a mod for replacing the inlet water pipe with one with a heater, its crap. If this is diagnosed you should demand an exchange from Whirlpool as “unfit for purpose”Hope this helps.

Re: New Whirlpool not making ice cubes
You are correct in the infra red controlling the ice production.
Just check the infra red beam can see side to side and that the left hand side transmitter is not restricted.I have also in the past found ice water valve wiring not connected at the valve on brand new appliances. Has your ice maker got any water in it?
However if this is brand new, you should call whirlpool service on 0870 6008989 from your home number to be routed through to their agent.
PS remember that when the door is opened on the freezer the infra red is broken by the hinge effect on the left hand transmitter.

Re: diplomat tumble dryer triping rcd
Thanks for all advice…… I wasnt going to disconnect with appliance running, but understand safety issues completely.
I will disconnect element and try and get it tested…. is it worth me having motor tested aswell or does it look pretty much as though the element is at fault…. ?Out of interest would it be safe to remove element and insulate tape spades and run machine to see if rcd trips or would machine run at all?
Thanks again and appreciate help.
Please please help, I need a new heater element for my diplomat 8502 and cant find one anywhere let alone anyone who can fit it
Re: diplomat tumble dryer triping rcd
I have to say we are entering a bad zone here fella’s.
Leaving wires hanging is not the way and Dave you should answer accordingly.
Whilst we are here to help, as moderator I have to now ask dave to re think his advice from this point.
We have to BE SAFE at all times.
Sorry
Kevin
Re: diplomat tumble dryer triping rcd
😀 many thanks, Dave,
will do that tonite and post any results!
Just one more question…. there are 4 element connections1 – 2 black wires, one to loom other to stat
2 – red
3 and 4 – blue wire to reset switch
do i disconnect all and leave them ‘hanging’ ??thanks, Tim
Re: Whirlpool AWZ 121 TUMBLE DRYER BLOWING COLD
right we have checked the heating element and it has NO continuity, so it seems that this is the problem, I’m no sparky but I was just wondering if a fault on one of the 3 thermostats caused the heating element to break.
If this is the case I don’t want my friend to fit a new element for it to fry because of a faulty stat, if I’m barking up the wrong tree let me know, a local shop said it can get one for £47 ! told them the price on here and they said it cannot be right, I’m going to get one from this site insteadRe: Another Landmark?
2nd million hits in 5 months roughly crunches to 6500 per day, sounds about right.
So anyone brave enough to predict the 5 million mark?

Re: diplomat tumble dryer triping rcd
update:
just tried dryer again and tripped straight away…drum managed one revolution so i suppose does that rule out breaking down when hot?….
what should i be trying first?
thanks 🙂
Re: diplomat tumble dryer triping rcd
hi,
i can disconnect the motor and get that check…. i presume the capacitor connected to that is what you are referring too?
as for disconnecting heater, i was going to do that but wasnt sure if pulling all spades from it would still let machine run or if i had to connect them in some way… i thought doing this though would be a sure way of tripping rcd as no resistance of element present??
thanks, tim
