Re: Diplomat ADP 3650
Have you tried MFI? They are the main supplier of Diplomat appliances. They should be able to get you another book quite easily. 😉

Re: No Power – Hotpoint BWD 129
If it’s popped the ring main RCD trip and now won’t restart then the PCB is a prime candidate. Call the manufacturer – it’ll be worth every penny.
Not good really…14 months….not fit for purpose, methinks…. 😉Steve.
Re: Fridge on strike
Err – Yes – but providing the heater is disconnected completely – ie:- both wires – and the wiring insulated carefully. It must be stressed that this is not recommended and is, at best, a “sticking plaster” type repair and must be corrected at the earliest opportunity. Get your local spares dealer to source you one of the stats mentioned without delay. (the Whirlpool W4 should be readily available in AU / NZ).
Power off before any work starts. :plug:
HTH,

Re: Fridge on strike
The 2 tag Danfoss unit is for a fridge with an icebox. Your fridge doesn’t have an icebox in the same cavity so it is referred to as a larder fridge in the UK; where before fridges we had cold cupboards (usually under the stairs) where food could be kept cooler than the surrounding house. This cupboard was called a larder – hence the reference. End of History lesson. 😉
You need to obtain the correct stat with the number 3,4 and 6 tags. Ranco K59, a VT9, Danfoss No. 3, or Whirlpool W4 will suffice.
To leave the defrost heater disconnected is not really the answer: although the fridge will actually function. It is far better to obtain the correct part and do it right.Power off before any inspection! :plug:

Re: wma
If the suspension pivot pegs are difficult to tap in then they are usually very worn. The wear can be felt as a ridge where the insulating rubber grommet at the end of the suspension strut normally sits. The only answer is new pivot pegs. One thing I’ve found over the years is that if a component that came off a machine needs to be modified to refit it; then it is either knacked – or something is causing it not to fit.
Trying to bash in ridged pivots will usually end in disaster……. 😥HTH,
Steve.
Re: ARE QUALTEX SHOPS TRADE ONLY
Qualtex South West still have a “Strictly trade only” sign outside ATM. I think they are sticking to that ruling too AFAIK.
Long may it continue…… 😉Steve.
Re: Zanussi FS1555W blown PCB.
Hi Chris!!
I have meggar’d the motor on each connection – checks out OK. 😕 Armature to body OK; brushes to body OK and connections to body all OK – but I must say I am not totally happy to plug on a PCB costing that much to watch a spectacular firework display. These “all – in – one” boards are absolute rubbish. 🙁

Re: SMEG SP7800P – Is it the element?
Try the clock – it may be set on auto. Check your manual for setting procedure – if you don’t have the manual post the type of clock you have and we can advise you on how to set it.
The clock automatic will only control the fan oven function and not the grill. This could be all that is wrong with your machine. 😉Hope that helps,
Steve.
Re: Siemens SE65E330GB
Hi Lawrence!! :waving:
Possibly dry joints on the PCB under the heater relay? Worth a look!!

Re: BSH Changes
I tried Martin’s trick – put the model number in the box under the GAGGENAU listing – it works!!
Until they destroy that too…….back to the bad old days of no info on Bosch spares. 👿Steve.
