Re: WTA Logo
Yes, the top one is neater and purposeful. When it is transferred to the “UK Whitegoods” forum, could the title banner (“WTA Logo”) be in a different colour to stand out from the rest of the posts? ie Red ?? or Green?? 😆 Is that possible?

Re: wm63 hotpoint
Sounds like a chafed wire where the loom from the timer to the motor is zip tied to the cabinet. Possibly a tacho wire earthing giving the motor control problem. If it was originally fitted with an FHP motor the loom tends to chafe where the wiring is strapped to the metal motor connector mounting plate.
HTH,
Steve.
Re: Quack ,Quack….
Ken said in a previous post –
“unless we had the printer I asked for two years or so ago that would have allowed us to do them in-house. ;)”If this printer will get the ID card project off the ground, it has to be purchased ASAP. It will have to be bought with TA funds, so therefore I think this must be our first consideration. The cards can then become a tangible reality and the trade can see progress being made. We have something to offer.:wink:
Only slight problem is that we cannot claim the VAT back on these expenses until the finances are sorted.Thoughts, please!!

Re: Specialist tool supplies and tool rental scheme.
The belt tool is exactly where my conversation with John Hopwood started and I just expanded on the idea. (I wish I’d just stuck to that one suggestion). The extortionate price of that tool is the main reason to re manufacture it. BUT.. we would need to know if it was worthwhile; supply and demand.
The ‘other tools’ that could be looked at are maybe ones that I personally don’t use – but others do. I was just trying to float a concept and see where it went.
Jim has said he has a friend that made him a copy of the belt tool and would look into it.
Other than that, if there is a perceived demand, then I will get the tool costed by the engineering company my wife Johanne does accounts for.Steve.
Re: Specialist tool supplies and tool rental scheme.
The suggestions were only examples off the top of my head – the re manufacture and sale was the main reason for posting this article. The sharing of colossally expensive OEM tools was an afterthought.
The threaded bolt and nut for the Hotpoint tool are the weak spot in the kit and could probably be made cheaply and better than the original.

Re: WTA constitution
Cheers, Adrian. That seems to cover all eventualities. The only (very small) alteration is the wording of section 5:- Membership.
5. Membership.
Membership of the WTA is available to independent companies which sell appliances and provide service to the appliance industry.
That’s all. Maybe I’m a bit picky, but we need to be clear about everything. Otherwise, yep, let’s publish it on the WTA site. Everyone agree?

Re: Indesit Bearings
There are 2 sizes of bearings and seals. To identify which kit you need, remove the pulley and measure the shaft diameter at the outer bearing. It will be either 26mm or 22mm.
If 26mm use bearing seal part no. 082696. The spider is fitted with 6205 and 6206 bearings. Cheapest way to buy these together is BRG6091 from Connect (AEG kit; fits 560,633,2060 etc) and use the 082696 seal. Discard the AEG seal.
If 22mm, use bearing seal part no. 096186. This spider uses 6204 and 6205 bearings. Cheapest way is the Hotpoint kit, fits all machines pre – WMA – eg: 95, WM etc. Fit the 096186 seal and discard the Hotpoint one.HTH,
Steve.
Re: zanussi zwd1471w washer dryer
E10 is a customer code – the E11, E12 and E13 family of engineer codes mean:-
1) Tap off / low pressure or no water supply.
2) Drain hose incorrectly positioned – syphoning.
3) Faulty solenoid valve. (or a solenoid that fails after 10 minutes when coil is hot). 😉 Most likely.
4) Pressure switch blockage.
5) Wiring.
6) PCB module.
These are Zanussi’s own diagnostics; hope that helps!!

Re: WTA Website
Yes, it recognises me -‘Hello Steve White’ above the logout box. I joined in the first few days and just after it was confirmed on the forums that everyone, even UKW members had to re-register on the WTA site.

Re: WTA Website
At least you have an entry to edit Jim; I’ve been left off completely!!
Steve.
P.S. I don’t have a ‘Recent Articles’ heading anywhere on my WTA Homepage – so it must be for the use of the WTA council only.
