Re: Ariston A1535 problem AAAAAHHH!
It doesn’t sound like a pump problem as it wouldn’t pump out manually.
When it sticks in program, how long far into the program is it (in minutes) and is it doing anything or just sitting there? Is there a gentle hum coming from the machine if you listen carefully?

Sounds just like a Woman!
These machines are controlled by a microprocessor on the main circuit board, not by the timer itself. Usually there is an error code showing when there is a fault. Does the mains indicator flash in a series of flashes when the fault seems to appear? If so, can you count the flashes between the long pauses and post back with the number of flashes.
In general, any appliance that will not advance on it’s own is usually waiting for something to happen. eg filling or heating.
Can you check first that the water is turned on to the machine, both hot and cold, before going any further.

Re: Proline condenser tumble dryer LEAKING !!
It could be as simple as a badly fitting drain plug. At the back of the machine, behind the condensate bottle, there is a small black plug that you remove to connect the machine to a drain pipe. (this can only be done on stacked machines as the water needs to run away by gravity down the washing machine stand pipe). These plugs can sometimes leak.
Failing that, it is possible that the machine has been distorted (perhaps by someone sitting on it!) this can cause the float chamber to become detatched from the back panel and it will invariably leak from the broken silicone sealant.

Thanks Jim. This one was eaten by a hamster!
Perhaps he won’t like the plastic version.

Re: Hoover washer H110MUK detergent recover hose
Thanks Martin. You are a mine of information. Is there a good source for part numbers for Hoover appliances? They always catch me out.

Re: Hotpoint WF540
It sounds like the concrete block may be loose on the drum.
It’s best at this stage to get Hotpoint in to look at it underthe terms of their guarantee It’s not a good idea to try and tighten it yourself. If the thread on the plastic drum has stripped you might get the blame if you admit to trying to fix it yourself.

Re: samsui washing machine error code E90
Your customer has probably got her words mixed up.
Last year I went to a ‘Cinzano’ branded machine. Again a Zanussi in disguise!
Been to loads of Hotpots as well!

Usually a blown track on the back of the power board and a blown triac on the control board.

:I have never seen a washer with a flow meter? 😕 Where would it be situated and how do they sense the water level when the clothes soak up the water?
Bob
Re: Bosch SGS43A42GB/01
How does a flow sensor actually work. Does it have a rotating impellor and actually measure the quantity of water passing?

Re: Creda 37747 Condenser dryer
I have mentioned recently on another thread. This is not a thermostat, it is a thermal fuse!
If anyone was to replace a fuse in a plug with the wrong rating just to overcome a problem, they would deserve to be struck off!

Re: company logos
Right, that’s that sorted.
The Hotpoint Logo was only there for information.
Can anyone confirm definitely that the reproduction of a company Logo is actually illegal? In this instant there was no [deliberate] implication that I am an approved repairer.
I notice on several sites, where spare parts are sold, that the manufacturer’s logos are often used as shortcut icons to that particular company’s products.
