Re: wjs 1397 carbons
Found this information……:wink:
SERVICE BULLETIN
SUMMING UP OF THE TACHOMETRIC GENERATORS AND BRUSHES FOR
COMMUTATOR / ASYNCHRONOUS MOTORS USED IN WASHING MACHINES AND WASHER-DRYERS.Commutator motors used on models with spin speed from 650 to 1800 rpm are produced by:
• SOLE / ACC
• FHP
• CESET
• BSH
• ECM
Each of these motors can be alternatively fitted in production to the same model. For this reason, there might be a possibility that motors made by different suppliers can be supplied as spare parts in place of the original one. The different motors are perfectly interchangeable with the previous one.
As it is not possible to determine through the spare part no. which motor has been fitted to the appliance, check the brand on the component itself.
Brushes fitted are as follows:-SOLE / ACC motors:-
Up to July 1992 (serial no. 230…) white support: 5068 17 42-00/8
From august 1992 (serial no. 231…), black support: 5022 65 88-00/7
FHP motors:-
Up to august 1990 (serial no. 036…) 5068 04 90-00/5
From September 1990 (serial no. 037…) 400 60 20-34/3 (replaces part no. 5022 17 78-00/9CESET motor:-
5021 63 97-00/5
Also I have come across loads of Sole motors fitted with CBN9041 (Connect part number). These can be identified by the tag being on the top of the brush holder as opposed to being at the end. Also fitted to Whirlpool machines as well. Good to have a set of these just in case.
Hope that helps,
Steve.
Re: Diplomat ADP8322
Definately worth fixing – I’ve got the Prima variant and it’s on twice a day every day. New motor 2 years ago; machine washes as good as high end Bosch. P45 is right though; keep it clean and don’t use it as a waste disposal unit, scrape the plates off first. Mine’s a 2004 machine and works well.

Cheers Rob – Thanks for your faith in my ability……… 😀
Looks like new sus units then……. 😕

Re: AEG U3100-4-M Main Fan Oven Not Working
The clock switches the oven by relay – then the relay supplies the selector switch. The only thing you can do is test for continuity to the switch as Forum Rules (and H&S law) means we cannot advise you how to test the switchgear especially as it may involve running the machine in a live state with the cabinet off. We also cannot issue wiring diagrams for the same reasons.
Thanks for understanding. Power off before any investigation. :plug:

Re: AEG U3100-4-M Main Fan Oven Not Working
It does seem to be timer related – are you sure that it is set to manual? Turn the oven off at the wall switch. Turn the main oven selector to any temperature setting. Switch the oven on at the wall switch again. Set the time of day.
If that fails, the problem lies either in the clock (duff relay) or a selector switch has failed on its main switches.Power off at the wall switch and the fusebox / consumer unit before any investigation inside. :plug:

Re: Zanussi Aquacycle ZWF W1421 just fills and empties.
The motor brushes could be worn out. They are fitted to the back of the motor body; lean the machine back and you will see them. Remove and check each carbon brush.
Unplug the machine before any inspection. :plug:

Re: Hotpoint WT540
PCB power supply fault – new PCB is the answer. (or a refurb from EMW of course!!).
HTH,

Re: Diplomat APM8702 Bearings gone
It’s a Servis under the skin; so not the best machine out there….. Servis went bust as did MFI, the sole supplier of Diplomat machines. It would probably be repairable, although the above points should be borne in mind before you do.
Integrated machines are expensive to start with, so if buying new, buy the best you can afford – it’ll be worth it in the long run. Having an unreliable cheap machine means dismantling the kitchen every time there is a fault. Bosch / Neff / Siemens machines are probably the best for a reasonable price and they have good warranties.HTH,
Steve.
Re: snowed in !!!
Hardly any snow left here but compacted ice everywhere. Lots of side roads are like ice rinks, so route planning is subject to what you find.
My Mercedes Vito gave me a scare today on a long sloping drive to a block of flats. The bottom of the drive was gritted and the top was clear thanks to some sunshine. So I thought I’d take a run at it and all the ABS, traction control and stability electronics would see me alright. Halfway up the icy part the back wheels start to spin and the stability program decides to step in and cut a large chunk of power from the engine in an attempt to stop the wheelspin. I knew that this van had this feature and it had stopped me skidding a few times in the last week, but at this critical moment it was the worst possible thing to happen for it to start meddling with the ‘feel’ of the van – suddenly I felt completely out of control of the vehicle. I was tempted to press the stability control disable button, but it didn’t seem the right time to be experimenting!!
There I am, hanging on halfway up this steep drive; can’t go up, foot to the floor with seemingly no extra response from the engine and can’t go down too fast backwards towards a busy road. Can’t steer and can’t brake…….. 😯 😯
The only alternative was to slam it in reverse and let the engine braking take it down the slope with the odd jab on the brakes. Scary stuff!!
I left the van in the street and it was all I could do to climb the slope on foot.And she was out…….. 😈 😈 I couldn’t believe it!! She rang me about 2 hours later to ask where I was as she was now at home. I have yet to reply……. :angry4:

Re: Candy Aquaviva 1300 – Replaced brushes. Motor now squee
Right, it’s probably the new brushes sounding rough on a pitted commutator. Not uncommon when old brushes are worn out completely. Take the motor out and look at the orientation of the brushes; they should have the angled edge flat against the armature surface. If there is a lot of clicking when the motor is turned by hand the brushes may need loosening and moving slightly to stop the noise. Make sure they are fully tightened when satisfied. Don’t clean the commutator with abrasive paper or wet’n’dry as it can ruin the armature.
Reinstall the motor and run it up. If the clicking is reduced, then do a wash and then listen for the final spin. If the noises are less, then it should be OK. The brushes, like new car brake pads, need to ‘bed in’ to the new surface – this can take several washes and most motors are fine. But if the motor is rough on spin and sparking badly, then the motor is duff.
Hopefully it will be fine.Steve.
Re: Pressure switch HD505
I can’t say I have ever come across a pressure switch with burnt out external terminals. Slightly tarnished look to them, maybe. If the terminals were burnt, the tags would be too. Discoluration is due to the heater load in most cases and it’s not usually a fault. The shorter wash / poor wash quality could be the absence of heated water.
But if the machine is set to a program, press start, the door locks but otherwise it is completely dead, then it’s the PCB that’s failed. Very common problem on Servis machines and not a cheap fix either. You also have to consider that Servis went bust over a year ago. Not good…. :rolls:
Move it on and buy something better…..please!HTH,
Steve.
Re: Converting old Zanussi part numbers to new Electrolux
Try putting 889 or 899 before it….. that sometimes works. 😉
