3. DRAIN PUMP IS STILL ACTIVATED 30 SECONDS AFTER SOUND SIGNAL
4. AFTER DRAINING ERROR ON LED DISPLAY PERMANENTLY LIGHTING TILL THE
SWITCHING OFF THE APPLIANCE
3. TEST PROGRAMSTARTING TEST PROGRAM
1. Open the door. Press and hold program button and switch on the appliance. On LED display stands 0A.
The appliance is ready.
2. Close the door and test program is activeted
3. During the test procedure, you can press program button to next step directly.
4. When test procedure is over, on LED display stands 00.E1

Re: ebay sales
From the Shop FAQ.
I am in the trade, can I buy parts from you?
Yes. There is absolutely no problem and we will supply traders with spare parts.
It is not our primary role but we do realise that we can source many spare parts for machines that are perhaps off the radar of normal trade suppliers.
There might be a huge missed opportunity here for UKW. Why not be a major supplier of trade spares at competative prices? After all you are already stocking many spares, all that would be needed is the facility on the web site for trade access and trade prices. Your carriage structure of three catagories starting at £2.95 is good, if you stocked a good range of spares you might find that many UKW members would be interested in making you thier main supplier.
It might even be possible to also establish a second hand (new) spares facility where surplus stock could be purchased from members and resold to others who might have need of it. Or this stock could be transfered directly between members with UKW advertising its availablity and charging a small commision. Food for thought?

Re: duel cookers
Ask your PL insurance how you stand with regard to dual fuel repairs. If they will not pick up the tab if someone is blown to pieces and you have worked (at any time) on the appliance then leave them alone IMO.

Re: Indesit Smart Card Reader
Just to clarify things?
There will be equivalent smartcard boards to replace all existing modules using a seperate EEPROM.
Will there only be one module to fit ALL new washing machines?
so that you will only need to keep one module and just get the relevant smartcard to program the module for the model?
Re: Outrageous parts prices!
Got me doubts about the Italian housewives Ken unless they are done in the old through hole method. You could’nt put surface mounted componants on by hand – well you could- but why would you want to when a machine can produce a board in the time it takes for a human to fit a few componants.
A good article on Wiki can be found here to anyone interested.

Re: Outrageous parts prices!
The price of electronic modules nowadays should be dirt cheap anyway as they are almost totally machine produced. The basic cost of the surface mounted componants is peanuts including the microcontrollers which are mass produced and can be programmed for any appliance and this is to joe bloggs. At the quantities that the manufacturers use the cost must be unbelieveably low. The only real cost will be the initial design and tooling up but again this will be mostly automated.
I would think that the actual production cost of the average module will not be not be more than a few quid considering the quantities involved. And i would bet that manufacturers are not paying much more than about £20 – £25 + vat IF THAT.

Re: HOOVER HNMF2605A FROST FREE FRIDGE FREEZER
Yes they can be replaced – they are located 168 mm from top and 172 mm from LH side. I think the PN is 97061619 but check that.
Cut out a square in the plastic, dig out the thermistor, cut the wires and patch in the new probe with bullitt connectors, refit and refoam. Cover repair with white tape.

Re: Non Payment
Sometimes you can be caught out with a customer who has previously paid their bills OK.
I made the mistake of doing the job when the only the son was at home trusting that the owner would settle up later as she had in the past – did’nt give a second thought.
After wasting lots of time and fuel i finally caught up with her. She gave me a cheque for £18 more than she owed as a gesture of apology.
You guessed it! The cheque was returned unpaid. I sent her the usual letter threatening court action etc which was ignored.
There is no doubt that the threat of ‘two chappies with baseball bats’ calling is effective but has to be applied carefully or you can end up with some very irate relatives turning up on your doorstep. This happened to me once, but oddly (after a lot of verbals) they gave me a cheque for the amount owed. Mmmmmmh!

Re: Hotpoint WF000
Almost certainly a short circuit triac on the board (the one that supplies the interlock). If you trace the interlock wires to the PCB and follow the tracks you will find the culprit. Probably surface mounted so not easy to change without a hot air iron. A lot of these triacs are similar so you might get away with one off another scrap board.
If that does not work then the tiny transistor that drives the triac might be blown too. I wear three pairs of reading glasses on top of each other when doing surface mounted – very effective.
If you manage to repair it change the interlock too as it has probably caused the damage.

Re: Hoover Fridge Freezer Sensor?
In my experience it is probably the thermistor rather than the board and they are foamed in. I have sent you the procedure for replacing it. (if you can be bothered).

Re: Hotpoint condensor dryer problem
Just to help keep costs down on a job like this. You can reset the one shots on these by carefully drilling a 1mm hole in the back of the stat (you can even do it with your fingers through the plastic) and gently pushing a pin in. You should feel a click as the stat resets.
