Re: Smeg washer dryer
Failed inlet valve/ no water supply? Most recent machines now start a cycle with a short pump out sequence before a pause and then filling with water.
Just a thought,
Steve.
Re: Hotpoint 9605 top loader
Condemned to the scrap heap, I’m afraid, as later that day, her son breezes in and says “You don’t want one of those, you want one of these’ and lo and behold she is now the proud owner (loose term) of a new Indesit. When she told me, I declined to mention how deep ‘In de s*it’ she actually was. :rolls:
Hope she has a spare room for the engineer to live-in……… 😆
Thanks for the advice and effort anyway,
Steve.
Re: elux tds offline dvd
Enter the PNC number and leave the model number box blank – quite often I’ve had problems with Distriparts disc not recognising model no’s.
Hope that helps,

Re: HooverAM110/01 door latch
Granted, Chris, but considering the complete kit is cheaper than just the spring and the peasant could complete the job on the Friday and bank the cheque………… 8)

Re: Paul Bocuse 2040 d DB UK
If this is the Rosieres clone ie: gas hob and cast iron griddle range cooker with twin ovens – I have used an Ariston fan element Connect part no. ELE4587 – fits a treat. Rosieres is part of GIAS group so spares availability is not too bad. But prepare yourself for the prices!!!! 😯 😯
Hope that helps!!

Re: Bearing Extractor
I thought I’d replace my ageing pullers and separator, so I bought a kit priced about £60 from Machine Mart containing two bearing separators with several bolt – on attachments and puller to remove a rusty bearing (6205ZZ) from a Zanussi ‘small bearing’ spider. I used to be a toolmaker so I know how to use extractors correctly and safely. So I assembled the smaller separator and puller and fitted it around the bearing. I slowly tightened it up and to my amazement, the puller literally bent and twisted like it was made of toffee!!! The bearing didn’t move at all!! 😈 The large separator in the kit was almost twice the size, so how the hell that could possibly work seemed beyond belief. The kit would be hard pushed to un-cap a beer bottle.
I managed to get the bearing off easily with a separator and pullers I had bought from a clearance store for about 4 quid each three years earlier.
So I took the kit back to Machine Mart to be greeted with that golden one-liner; ‘Never had one do that before sir, you must be using it incorrectly’. :rolls:
I asked him to explain how you could possibly misuse an extractor while using it for, ahem, extracting – but of course, he didn’t know as he’d never used one before! 10 minutes of arguement to get a refund. 👿
End of rant!
Sykes Pickavant do good strong tools – try them – or Snap – On as their lifetime warranty will cover breakages if any parts, er, Snap Off!!!! 😆Steve.
Re: Zanussi W/Dryer model WDT1072
All the ones I’ve seen are fitted with a restrictor aka Hotpoint w/d. Original restrictor sometimes gets dislodged and is forced up the ‘U’ shaped pipe supplying the condenser. Worth removing the hose and pushing a screwdriver through to see. 😉
Also try the little box that is clipped on the back of the soap drawer – the condenser valve hose supplies this – pop the top off and check for blockages. The lid clips are really fragile, so be careful!!!
If you fit a restrictor – fit it in the valve nozzle NOT the hoses – the mains water pressure will pump up the pipe like a bicycle innertube and pop!! it will split or be forced off its nozzles. (as in Hoover softwave washer/driers 😉 remember those? Water everywhere!!!). I’ve used Hotpoint green restrictors before – they work perfectly!
You don’t need to take the back of the machine off – just remove the mains cable from its clamp, unclip, lift up and remove the plastic valve support. Then undo the screw holding the metal valve clamp on the back of the soap dispenser unit, remove it and swivel the other metal plate holding the suppressor out of the way. Unclip the clear plastic condenser supply pipe from the little box on the back of the dispenser and this gives enough clearance to move the valve backwards and out of the machine. Easy!! 😀Hope that helps!!!

Re: Bosch WFF2001GB/01 no spin
Right, this bl**dy machine again. 😈
Checked for blockages although having already cleaned the pressure bottle, outlet hose, anti-syphon unit (including the inside of the soap drawer where the small pipe connects) and fitted a new pump. Nothing found.
Machine filled with water to wash level (with clothes in the drum). Then to get it to test the spin, the timer has to be reset; then set to spin, press start – every time a perfect pump out and fast spin!!! 😯
On a complete wash, customer says it refuses to spin; but I’m running out of things to check!! He is adamant that the spin speed selector knob is set to 1000, 800, and the ‘minimum iron'(can’t remember the term on the knob indicator) to test it but he says it makes no difference. He says he doesn’t need to reset the timer but just turns it to spin then the machine spins OK.
I am starting to suspect the timer or module – but the prices may render it a BER!!!! :eeek:
Any further thoughts apprieciated!!Thanks again,
Steve.
Re: BAUKNECT INTERLOCK CHALLENGE
