Re: stoves fan motor
Try Connections – lots of ‘600’ models shown but not ‘ef’. Electrue part no. STV081581800 @ £36ish +vat. seems the common fan motor. Hope this helps!!
Re: FJS 1425 E40 FAULT
Door open / interlock fault . Try new interlock (2 types; 3 and 4 tag) if not, test wiring to PCB, if OK, suspect PCB.
Re: Indesit WIDL126
EMW are one of the most useful and knowledgable companies you could ever come across. Tel;(01159) 652118.They rebuild it, they know it’s faults,they help you at every stage including if you misdiagnose- you can try a PCB and send it back for £4.70. Can’t see Merloni doing that – they would just leave you In- de- s*it!! 😆
Re: Indesit WIDL126
Sounds like the PCB is u/s. Get another from EMW and try it; probably the only way to say for sure. If it still doesn’t work,you only stand EMW’s return figure of £4.70. If that fails, you will find a 2 pound lump hammer a most satisfactory and final cure for any Indesit. 😆
Re: Tricity Bendix DH090 dishwasher – not letting water in
Once these valves have been triggered by an overfill you have to reset them. Remove pressure hose to valve and ensure that there is no water in it . Refit one end to valve and blow down pipe then suck back as well. This sometimes does the trick, but if not, and only after you are sure you have cleared the reason for the valve locking off, refit the valve into the machine, reconnect inlet hose and turn on the water. The valves on these Zan-based machines use a magnet to permanently hold the safety diaphragm in place in the valve so even if the machine is switched off or messed with it still won’t allow the d/w to fill. So with water on and programme set to fill, wait for the valve solenoid to buzz (trying to fill). Then with a small and obviously discreet hammer, tap the inlet pipe COLLAR (the piece that screws on the valve) several times and valve magnet on the safety should release and fill. This works 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time; the other 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} – new valve. (I’ve only bought about 10 of these Zan valves in 23 years – they are not that unreliable).Always test afterwards with several fill/empty cycles to be sure.
Sermon ends!!Re: servis no drum turn
Run a spin cycle with a reasonably balanced load in the drum (they don’t like spinning empty). Also try unplugging the heater then try spin again as if there is a small earth prob with it module will not spin. EMW are excellent at these modules; I’ve fitted quite a few never had a problem.Also Tony is a veritable goldmine of tech info on known faults (and things to test) on all the modules they stock. Most of all, they are quicker than Servis to supply, same 12m warranty,cheaper by loads, and if you diagnose wrongly and it still doesn’t sort the fault you can send it back for £4.70! Almost as good as a library! 🙂
Re: Tricity Bendix BD911 Oven
Loosen the screws around the oven cavity, but beware, the screw in the middle at the bottom below the seal joint only holds a support bracket for the centre of the oven cavity. Undo it one turn or so until you can just gently prise the front panel away from cavity with a terminal screwdriver. I unscrewed one completely once -bracket fell off into vent space below oven- loads of fun getting it back in place. (take care not to chip enamel) Press end of seal into gap, pull out screwdriver from panel and continue to press seal around the oven until the ends meet. Retighten screws as you progress past them just enough to stop the seal popping off. When seal is central and even, tighten all screws. Job done. Drink coffee.
Re: Thermistor values
Thermistor values.
All these values are typical and only applicable COLD.
Most Merloni- 22K ohms
Hoover 100 ohms
Zanussi based stuff 65 ohms
Hotpoint (good ol’) 1600 ohms
On Zanussi and Merloni washer/ driers you need to test BOTH the wash AND the drier thermistors and gently pull the flimsy wiring to check for broken tag connections-I have had several machines with perfectly good looking wires but they break off with the slightest bend ; retag, hey presto!
Hope this helps
