Re: bosch lower spray arm
The diverter valve is built in to the heater unit. Cabinet off job to replace. No other service part available – all one assembly.
HTH,

Re: Bosch SMS69L02UK/15 no fill.
Thanks for the replies!!
How do you get the motor and heater off these machines? And I suppose you can only know if the motor is duff by substitution of a new unit. The base was empty and the float switch was down. No sign of a leak. I forgot however that when the new PCB was fitted F8 flashed up during setup. The machine then was set to a program and again faulted.
Job for the BSH guys methinks….I’m just too busy ATM to get involved much further.
Unless anyone has any other ideas…….. 😉Thanks again!!

Re: Noisey Neff Pattern Oven Fan
I had a problem with one of these fan motors but it wasn’t a problem as such. When the new fan blade was fitted, the washer on the shaft in front of the ‘C’ clip was at an angle so when I tightened the fan it was not ‘tight’ as such. When spun up to speed it rattled terribly. Took fan off, refitted washer, pressed fan into place then re tightened and all OK.
Hope that helps!

Re: Bosch SMS69L02UK/15 no fill.
Replaced PCB today – no difference. I double checked everything – start program, pumps, wash motor runs for a few seconds, valve open for 2 seconds then off (no power to valve) then the buzz of the tank drain valve solenoid. Checked heater and all plugs on the module, changed reed switch…….still doesn’t bl00dy fill!!!! 😈
I’m all out of ideas on this; anyone help at all? Any tech available?Thanks,
Steve.
Re: Hoover hnf2137-80 paddles
Access through the sump hose at an angle….Torx screw head. I put a little Debor on the driver bit to not allow the screw to drop away.
Fiddly but do-able. 😉
HTH,

Re: ise 5-2

Glad to hear today that the only man to be hospitalized from eating some horse meat is now in a stable condition……
Re: prima lr600/1
Remove filter and clean out the little black grid inside the sump unit. They get clogged with hard fat deposits and can cause the machine to think it’s full when it is not.
Toothbrush, hot water and maybe a tiny drop of washing up liquid on the brush should shift it.
HTH,
Steve.
Re: Hotpoint DF53 heater toc problem.
The button is on the TOP of the heater unit and can be reached (just) by pushing your hand down the right hand side of the sump and it’s just round the corner behind the sump. Possible to do….
HTH,
Steve.
Re: Another Day, Another Issue
Not your fault, Ken; no one could have seen this coming. You don’t need to apologize! For the customer, it is difficult to distinguish between ISE and it’s insurers. In their opinion, we’re all complicit and there’s little we can do but explain and hope they understand.
Which they won’t……really. 🙁I have reclaimed the 5/2 in question; is the EMW route still open to us? I spoke to EMW and Tony was willing to look at repairing the PCB’s if we could supply a knock – down machine. On the strength of that, I sent you a power module a while back and you said you had a control panel PCB, motor and loom. If this is the end of the road for the 5/2, can we not at least see if Tony can pull something out of the hat for us? It would save us a whole load of grief and unnecessary bad press. If CSS won’t help us, maybe we should help ourselves. 😈
Just thinking out loud….. 😉

Re: Another Day, Another Issue
Well, some small comfort here……
My customer, the very vocal Mr B has received his Bosch machine yesterday after a great deal of haggling and a payment of £180 on top. He is not happy but at least he got a machine. He is not really talking to me anymore so I guess that’s that. 🙁
This is the copy of the reply I got after saying that “at least something positive has come out of it”. Bad choice of words it seems…….Email Feb 19 (7 days ago); quote:-
Steve
Happy to be accused of moaning but in the cold light of day, I don’t see much positive about paying out £180 when we had, what should have been, a perfectly good machine still in warranty.
Is this the end of the road for the concept of a reasonably priced and easily repairable machine to save throwing the whole thing away every few years?
If I recall that’s what the ISE 5 was supposed to be. Not necessarily made with very durable and up market parts but at least made with economically replaceable, smaller components (rather than complete sealed drums etc.) that should have been available for a long time.Looks like ISE have given up on this whole notion.”
unquote.And TBH he is right as he sees it. He can’t know what sh1t is hitting the fan ATM, nor would he care. I just resigned myself to saying little to nothing. It’s not enough for the insurance company to spread false rumours to our customers but then to go on and treat us all with complete contempt is beyond belief. My other customer has had his extra payment of £45 to upgrade from a Hotpoint to a Bosch refunded and told he will not be getting a machine now. WTF??? How can they just walk away from their responsibilities and leave us to use up the bullets?? I chatted to him yesterday and he is calm and patient but for how long? Poor bloke has got two young kids and a washer where he can’t alter the programme. I’ll have to lend him a machine soon as my conscience is pricking me.
No apologies or disclaimer from me Ken, insurance companies are vile. I have had a very bad fortnight of daily phone calls and suggestion that this was somehow all our doing.
Insurance companies…..legalised thieves – the modern day highwaymen!!
And you can quote me on that!!Steve.
