Re: Bosch Classix 1200 Motor Problem
Just an update – took your advice and decided to keep the washing machine a bit longer but went for a reconditioned motor from Ebay which cost £40 + £10 delivery. The motor looked like new and machine is now up and running again. Hopefully it will give me a few more years! 😀
Re: Bosch Classix 1200 Motor Problem
Hi iadom and thanks for the reply. It is a WFO2467GB. I’ve done a search on commutator on this site and think I have some sort of rotor earth fault. Appears resistance should be >100k which makes sense as <8K will trip the 30mA breaker. Can't believe I need a new machine -it is in pristine condition- but from the other threads looks like £200 is the norm for a motor which is just not worth it. Is there a weak point in the rotor wiring which causes the low resistance?
Re: Indesit DE73 Error Code A12
I replaced the relay at the grand cost of £2.34 + £5 postage and thus far we have had a week of trouble free dish-washing so looking promising. This may be useful info to anyone having the same problem and can use a soldering iron.
Re: Indesit DE73 Error Code A12
Thanks for the reply Penguin45. Maybe I’m old fashioned but it seems hell of a waste to throw out a whole dishwasher for the sake of a relay. As I said earlier it would not be cost effective to replace the PCB but can the relay itself be easily sourced? If so I would get the soldering iron out and give it a go!
Re: Hoover tumble dryer thermal tripping
Hi again,
Just been round to my local repair shop and was informed that the QTX TOC01 does not have a manual reset switch incorporated like the one fitted to my dryer. I was given the Hoover ref number 09036518 which can still be purchased on-line (special order) but got to thinking about the QTX device – will it switch off and on the heating elements automatically (i.e. no reset required) and if so would this be a better idea than the Hoover component?
Regards
Tom
Re: Hoover tumble dryer thermal tripping
Thanks Penguin45.
Reason I didn’t put the model number on is that the only label on the machine is a paper one which looks more like a QA inspection label. It has a number D6368-001 but I was not sure if this was the model number or not. I think it is worth a try replacing this part and, for speed, will try my local Hoover stockist first.The dryer is located in my garage with a long vent hose which gets thrown out the back door when in use. The dryer has been sitting in the middle of the garage door for test with the vent hose uncoupled and there is defenitely a good air flow.
If replacing the cut-out doesn’t work I will be replacing ithe dryer with a condensing model so I can get rid of the vent hose. Do Hoover still make good dryers? I was looking for reviews of the HNC382T but so far have come up blank.
Re: Hoover H160E-UK drum not rotating
I did not pay much attention to the position of the brush holders when removing them and then found that each could be refitted in one of two positions. However, the condition of the screwholes and graphite deposits indicated which position the holders should go so I’m nearly positive the brushes are fitted correctly. I think I will suggest a new machine!
Thanks
Tom
Re: Hoover H160E-UK drum not rotating
Hi DDSDDS,
The PCB module on this machine is in a white plastic housing but it is located at the top front of the machine next to the program selector. Would it be worth taking a look at this or is the problem you describe specific to a model with the PCB at the bottom left of the machine?

Re: Hoover H160E-UK drum not rotating
Thanks Penguin45,
Sounds like time for a new machine. I know my test procedure was a bit risky but ELCB was installed and I was using my foot on the back of the drum in a mid-wash cycle and keeping my fingers well away. Still, not recommended!
Regards
Tom
