The question is: how much water do you get in the machine in 30 secs? Does by the sound of the machine filling does it appear to match how much water actually is in the machine. If you go and look up part 3702356pm on Partmaster site you will see the fill chamber and its little printed circuit board which should have 2 thin black wires that is the flow meter also called a reed switch and counts how much water in a given time passes through the machine for filling via an internal plastic impellor. If it is filling up slow a common problem can be ( apart from low pressure blockage in any valve filter/ kinked inlet hose ) …..if you look at the picture you will see a red “c” shape thing embeded within the plastic moulding and it is a that point that it can get limed-up which restricts the water, the flow meter senses that little water has entered so stops even before the pressure switch ( H2o single level switch ) can even be triggered to turn the wash motor on and by doing so also the heater. Summary: your machine might not be getting enough water so it shuts down. If so try removing the whole plastic unit which is a faff and put the nozzle that goes to the C area to your mouth and blow if it is restricted I use kilrock descaler ( preferably without spilling it all over the joint and yourself!! ) and leave it for 20 minutes to do its thing- if you see froth and so bubbles it is limed up. ` course could be totally wrong but a pointer none the less.
Add. the screws that hold the brushes on to the motor can be very tight and you would probably have a bit of a struggle doing the job from underneath. If so, suggest you remove the motor and do it that way. Remove BOTH brushes and check them ….might be ok after all, in which case I was wrong! If worn out then buy new brushes.
From memory. Have a look at brushes indesit C00196539 and its pattern part equiv car73 ( ignore that the holder/plastic pieces that just happen to be brick coloured that does not matter ).What you want to check is that the angle of the running face points the same way i.e. left or right as viewed the way the brush is fitted and that the teminal ends for the brushes wires are the same size. The Indesit ones are angled to the right.
did you have a look at the motor`s wiring loom connector block? Looking at the motor shield you might have a corroded terminal wire and as I mentioned the brushes often wear inconsistantly so you sometimes do not get the usual commutator matt colouration as you appear not to have. Still worth a final look, a miniscule amount of effort to be sure..
Great. You are advised to run the brushes in by doing a couple of light loads first so that a “curve” on each brush running face angle beds in properly.
Yes it`ll surely be the motor brushes. Well worth repairing this machine and so well worth the effort to have a good look. These simple Beko entry level machines can be very long lasting and reliable.
Can I just ask you one simple question. Does the main motor actually via the belt turn the drum? Does the drum tumble one way then another and does the motor make the drum actually spin? yes or no. Does the machine fill with water and stop filling up and then does the drum go around? yes or no. Did you actually check the motor brushes as in removing them off the motor so to visually check the length of carbon? yes or no.
Yes thanks very much. Despite the label missing by the side of the offending reset switch and the manual typically being mispIaced I managed to suss the damn thing. More down to sheer luck.
Presume if the cooker/oven is 2 years old the part should be under a 10 years part warranty if it was registered just after purchase. If so get in touch with Hotpoint. Though my dealings with this shower are a moot point.
Reply to Loftus. Who unfortunately does not state the product code so I picked one version of L76685NWD purely at random “From looking online the ducted fan assembly is a complete unit including the fan for £70” Via AEG website the fan motor is £56 as opposed to £75.91 from Partm*ster Sharks and the heater air duct housing is £63 from AEG as opposed to £81.45 from Par*master Sharks ( of `we make spending over the odds a pleasure` fame! + p&p ) – if you hit the picture dots you`ll discover no fan motor comes with it only the plastic fan, which on reflection, is the one you really mean but is probably not the culprit ( but could be if the plastic fan blade warps ) i.e. the electric fan bearings might be shot. Actually you might even have have a dodgy outlet pump – runs for perhaps 2 hours, gets hot, makes noise, nuked pump bearings = new pump! Could consider that being the cause too! All guess work unless you prove otherwise and the trouble there is disconnecting the supposed offending part i.e. the electric fan motor will just flash up a fault code (?) so you might not prove anything `cause the machine will abort the programme – modern stuff, don`t ya just love it?.
Rechecked elsewhere looks as though you can still get the oval swt under the part number 0024000144 so God knows what this brick coloured swt is, maybe a p/swt in the right packet with the wrong p/swt inside and that p/swt you have looks very much like your typical Vestel p/swt even from the rear and yes the packet is written in Chinese. Do not know for sure beware!
Well via partmaster your model number does not match up with the switch you have by X referencing BUT that could still be wrong.. I think this brick coloured swt is the wrong one ( looks like a Vestel one to me ) or it could be, on the other hand, a replacement one because the old one is deemed obsolete BUT the photo when you type the part number in comes up looking like the oval p/swt you have fitted so it might be right. This is typical battle with Chinese stuff – importers so keen for sales spares end up a bloody mess with no one sure about anything! Did you check the motor brushes?
Probably the thermistor or its wires. Make sure that the machine is definitely plumbed into the cold water supply before doing / buying anything. If plumbed into cold water trying a new thermistor first as it is the cheapest option. You should not require an “engineer” to change a wash element thermistor; Beko service is aleways full of pis* and wind with their charges, typical corporate clowns!
