Re: Hotpoint BWM129 Built in Washer
Thanks Jim. I believe the leak was from the blocked fab conditioner compartment. However, as is the norm, it wont leak when I’m watching it.
How is your Mum by the way?

Re: Samsung Q1636S w/m
The motor will be “star” connected. ie all the coils will be connected in a star configuration with the central joint insulated and not accessible. The only test on the motor will be a coil resistance check and an earth check. All terminals should have the same resistance relative to any other terminal. If all the resistances are the same (within a few percent) and there is no earth leakage then there is unlikely to be a problem with the motor.
The circuit board is encapsulated in a resin which will make component testing very difficult. Be very careful, I believe that the electrolytic capacitors on the board can hold a charge for a long time.
Good luck

Re: Samsung Q1636S w/m
It’s a three phase motor that is fed by an invertor. The frequency of the invertor will determine the motor speed. (Three phase motors have a much higher output torque than a single phase motor with the same size stator/rotor assembly) Why the three wires from the tacho…? could it be a three phase output? not sure.

Re: Need explaination on C/D parts
The relay on condenser dryers is a latching relay that ensures that someone has to be present to turn the appliance on. This is due to the large loading door which is large enough for a child to climb in.

Re: Bosch washing machine door seal
Don’t forget that we need a model number to help with these enquiries…
You’re not alone in having difficulty fitting the retaining spring. Our trade forum has several similar posts as even a long served engineer can have difficulties with some machines.
The normal answer here, without special tools, is to get someone to give you a helping hand. Get a friend to hold it at the top whilst you fight with rest of it.
If you need help, use our Repairs@ service to find a local engineer.
Remember… Power off before attempting any repair. :plug:

Re: Zanussi ZWX1606W Pressure switch
This machine is pretty well protected by the electronics and throws an error code and stops dead whenever it sees a fault. I’m quite happy in this situation to leave it working.
However I understand your sentiments here. It’s usually best in my experience to leave the machine disconnected with a “do not use” notice attached. It’s the only way to cover yourself.

Thanks mate. I have tapped it with a screwdriver and brought it back to life so it might last a few washes.

Thanks Dave.
Don’t suppose you can find a supplier for this 😉
You had a few days rest?

Translates as “That one would have to put it in good books of the Roberto”
Still nonsense.
