Re: Zanussi ZJD 12191
Recirc pump or heater to check first. You could run the diagnostics first to help pinpoint the problem….
HTH,
Steve.
Re: Zanussi FJS 125W
Don’t recognise FJS125W……:?
But E90 is a PCB communication fault. Usually the fascia PCB edge connector gets oxidized. Crimp the plug to tighten it, clean the strip and refit. Otherwise, PCB is goosed. 🙁Hope that helps,
Steve.
Re: electrolux ewd1409
There is a thermistor for the drier situated on the lower hose from the condenser to the tub. Lean the machine back and look up and it is on the right with orange wires to it.
…..Or not!! …..as they usually snap off from their plug and cause a spurious ‘no heat’ fault on the drier. Cut back the wires, pull them out of the zip tie that yanked them off (this allows some slack so the drum movement won’t pull on the wires again) and refit with insulated amp tags.Hope that helps,
Steve.
Re: AEG 72630 E51
E51 could be the PCB, Jim; but more likely the motor or wiring is shorting to earth. The “motor triac is in short circuit” is generally a motor failure TBH.

Re: Why is it…………
Snap!! Fuel gauge on the Vito has jammed on empty….so it’s been “guess the fuel level” this week. :rolls: No time ATM to get it fixed, even using their out of hours service. Can’t risk filling the tank too much just in case I can get it fixed so it’s £40 fill up every 3 days and hope….
Better get that bike fixed Mike; I might have to borrow it at this rate. 😆Steve.
Re: Indesit w123
Personally I don’t have an issue with these boards as long as EMW can provide them coded. I will only fit a recon board to Indesit derived stuff as you are backed by EMW’s warranty and ‘try before you buy’ service. Total job quote = £120 inc labour; 80{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of customers and letting agents say go ahead.
TBH, the failure rate of EMW boards and timers is negligible…I can only recall 1 WMA board that failed this year. Not bad at all. 😀Steve.
Re: Indesit w123
Had this fault today on an Indesit with a Mk I board in it. Machine filled then the timer rotated and the ‘On’ lamp went out. Tightened all the edge connectors and off it went – all OK. 😀
Try that first…..:wink:

Re: LG DIRECT DRIVE MOTOR
I’m with Helo on this – had exactly that fault before. Drum turns smoothly by hand, load the drum and the coil gives a loud “electromagnetic” type hum like a large transformer. The drum will judder and sometimes turn a bit. Hum gets louder before the PCB cuts it off. Then it’ll try again.
If this description is correct then it’s the stator. The stall sensor IIRC, cuts the motor if the drum jams; whereas on a belt drive machine, it would throw the belt. 😉
Hope that helps,
Steve.
Re: Hotpoint WT540 – F15????
OMG!! Same fault today on a WF541!!!! 3 in a row!! Time to buy a lottery ticket!!! 😀
Refurb PCB on order from EMW – the capacitor next to the coil on the board had swollen – power supply probably faulty. Board U/S…… these are going down like flies round here ATM – not complaining though……..
Steve.
Re: no element tumble dryers !!
It’s using a heat pump system. I haven’t seen one in the flesh as yet……. 😕 It works like an aircon unit. Instead of removing the hot air from the cabinet (like a fridge does) and moving it outside, it does the reverse. Most split aircon units today have the option of using them as a heat pump in cold weather. Heat pumps are very efficient and quite cheap to run.
You can enter diagnostics on this machine the same way as the washers. Hold down Start and Sensitive buttons and turn the selector one position to the right. Turn one click to test each component as you would with Zanussi washers. At position 11, the last error code is displayed. This position also cancels the last error code.
This machine also has a demo mode that allows the shop to run the machine without the heater working. The demo is activated by holding down “Start” and the button to its immediate left for 5 seconds or more. Customer may have done that. 😉 To exit demo mode turn the dial to the ‘0’ position.Hope that helps,
Steve.
Re: Zanussi Washer Dryer (No Heat)
If you have power from the timer to the drier timer, and all other parts have continuity, then it is likely to be the drier timer. (1242668000). Also make sure the “Dry” button is pressed in – this will hold the timer in the drying phase and switch control of the drying to the drier timer. The drier timer switches the heaters and the thermostop on the main timer unit.
I would look at the drier timer first. 😉Steve.
Re: Blomberg 1501AAA washing machine spider
leavemetogetonwithit wrote:Bearings are listed on Connect when you tap in 1501AAA but they’re not cheap. They give the seal dimensions under the picture and you can read 6305(?) just about on one of the bearings when enlarged.
Spider is obviously going to be more trouble. However, the bearings that come up are listed as WMP1500B (also fit your model). Now when you tap in WMP1500B you get 195 parts available including a spider(descibed as “bearing”). Good pictures; if you got the old one out you could probably say yea or nae.
Mike.You posted this on October 14th in reply to my post “Blomberg 1501AAA – worth fixing?”. No – one could find anything then……… 🙁 Sorry!!

Re: Diplomat APL 5754 cooker oven problem
Regulator problems or FFD faulty – not a DIY job – repair MUST be handled by a Gas Safe registered engineer only, I’m afraid.
No gas cooker DIY advice given on this site for safety and legal reasons; see forum rules.Sorry we can’t help any further with this fault.
Re: candy dryer

As Chris says, You’ll love it…..in a purely “character – building” sense……….:snig:
Complete strip and rebuild……not a hard job but very labour – intensive. Top off, condenser out, front off, (careful not to break the PCB behind the fascia), back panel off, heater off, unscrew rear bearing support, lift drum and unhook belt from jockey pulleys, lift drum out……..about 10 – 15 minutes with a power screwdriver. Lots of different screws used; make a note of what goes where and how many.
Reassembly is the reverse of the above; fitting the belt on the pulleys is like any other machine; apart from Candy / Hoover driers where you have to do it through a letterbox space with one hand.
Practice will speed the job up, but not a job I relish and you really do EARN every penny of your fee.HTH,
Steve.
