Re: Connections
Got through to support – eventually and found out the reason. Apparently the site and login has been changed!. But I guess you guys know this already!! It would have been nice for them to have told me.

Re: Hotpoint SDW80
Thanks for the replies Johnny and Jim. Thanks to Jim who sent me the exploded diagram, I now know that it’s called a pressure sensor. Should have known really. :rolls:

Re: Lucrative Dishwasher Money going west
Ok, when I meant access from the front, I should have said “access the impellor and clear any obstructions from the inside of the machine”.
Sorry Penguin, final word.
Re: Lucrative Dishwasher Money going west
Bread and butter stuff this Neil, probably the first of many that you’ll see. The good news is that the Bosch group machines are virtually the only ones that you can access the drain pump without having to remove the machine. First of all, remove lower basket, strainer and filters. Get rid of all the “soup” from the bottom. It’s always a good idea to suggest to the customer that they remove this when making the booking to stop it going smelly and save you the horrible job. Looking down inside the sump, remove the single torx head screw at the 9 o’clock position which holds on the funny shaped plastic cover, which gives you access to the drain pump impellor. Remove whatever is stopping it. You can test it by selecting reset ( usually by pressing the 2 buttons together as indicated on the top of the door). This will bring on the pump for 1 minute.
I hope that makes some sense to you, I’ve probably not explained it very well,but I’m sure once you see it, your previous experience will kick in.
Good luck!

Re: Whirlpool Top Loader not spinning
I agree with you Alan, that’s the way I usually do it. I was just trying to make it easier for Seamy for the first time until he develops his own technique. Cabinet off??????? 😯

Re: Hoover PPC160J-80 belt
Because I’ve got cr@p loads of tumble dryer belts in stock and it’s just possible I might have one. As I’ve got the job booked in for tomorrow I thought I would ask around and hopefully some kind soul would tell me and I could get the job done in one visit! Sorry I asked! 😉
Re: Whirlpool Top Loader not spinning
Pretty straightforward. The coupling is fitted between the motor and gearbox. I find the best way to get to it is to disconnect pipes etc and lay machine carefully on it’s back. You will need A/F tools as it’s of American origin. 5/16 socket I think. The motor is held to the gearbox by 2 big spring clips held on by a bolt on each. Definately worth taking a coupling with you as they’re not that expensive. £8.26 + vat trade from Connect.

Re: Neff R4381X1GB/01
Thanks for that BSH-MAN. She’s just been on the phone to say that it’s working again! Seems that when her husband pulled it out in preparation for me (bless them), he unplugged it for a while and when he plugged it back in again and tried it, it worked OK. She’s done a load since and all ok. May just be a case of” have you tried turning it off and on again?” Watch this space….
