Re: Hotpoint BWM20 integrated washer pulsing motor.
Swapped the PCB and timer units back and forth to no avail……it has to be a faulty new board. The timer swap made no difference. 👿
Anything I’ve missed?

Re: Hotpoint BWM20 module.
Thanks Mark – I just wish the machine worked with the new part fitted………
Cheers,

Re: Cannon wont work
You don’t say if you fitted this cooker into your new house, or it was left behind by the previous owner. If it has been brought in and connected up I would be looking at the integrity of the connections in the terminal block where the mains cable goes in.
The hob crack does matter; it will soon creep and the whole hob will shatter. Not good……… 8O. Ceramic hobs are very expensive to replace but most house insurance policies cover broken or shattered ceramic hobs, give them a quick call to clarify this first.Power off before any inspection. :plug:

Re: Hotpoint 9404W
The spin turret has 2 bearings in it – a oilite phosphur bronze sleeve at the top and a ball bearing at the bottom. The carbon thrust spin seal used to leak and the water would seep into the top bearing rusting the shaft and causing it to seize.
The most common complaint was the motor drove the aluminium pulley but not the clutch drum. The clutch shoes would not grip and the spin can didn’t move. Traces of leaks in the top of the clutch drum are a dead giveaway. Parts required; new seal, spin turret and shaft kit………all obsolete I’m afraid.
The only thing you can do is to remove the bottom spin weight, drop the pulley off with the shoes and remove the drive pin and remove the clutch drum. The spin can will lift out of the top of the spindrier after removing the plastic trim around the can under the spin lid. Clean the shaft with emery paper and grease it liberally. Push some grease into the top bearing, clean the can seals mating surfaces and reassemble. It’ll run for a while; but no guarantees how long it will last. (although I did one over 2 years ago in Poole and it’s still OK).
Rob – if you need a 9404 twin tub for spares I know of one locally…….:wink:Hope that helps,
Steve.
Re: Service Quartz 6000 series F6 fault..any advice please..
Great little machine – they don’t build ’em like that any more……..:D
It could well be a heater but the thermal overload incorporated in the heater unit is probably the culprit. They usually fail when the pressure bottle (water level control) gets blocked and the heater comes on without sufficient water to cover it. The heater and cut out are one unit and should still be available. Also the heater wiring would tend to burn and break off; so just fit a new tag.
(If the heater has failed and a new one is fitted, be sure to check the bottle before switching the machine on to test).Power off before any inspection, :plug:

Cheaper than you Steve, can you believe it?
RobAs I said quote – (depending on who you are….:rolls:) That’ll probably be because Qualtex are getting most of my business ATM; Connect are getting silly expensive plus I’m getting tired of the imbalance in its price banding and having Lord Lucan as a rep. I guess a prompt paying regular customer is not really what they want…….. 😕
Anyway, stop showing off, Rob…………….:tongue:

Re: Whirlpool Wash Pump
£138 + VAT from Qualtex special order. £140 + VAT from Connect (depending on who you are….:rolls:)

Re: Zanusi IZ161 washing machine
Pressure switch on overfill duty (bottle blockage) or stuck / burnt pump triac (PCB failure). If the machine will run the diagnostics, then it would flag up an E20/ E30 fault code.
HTH,
Steve.
