    Re: Bosch SGS5302GB/07 pump woes

    Before you start sticking screwdrivers in motors, YOU MUST MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF. :zap:

    If the rotor will only turn one way then you definitely have something stuck in the main pump. This is NOT a job that can be done by an untrained engineer as the whole machine has to be stripped down.

    Check Repairs@ or Directories for a UKW repairer in your area.

    Re: Hotpoint B/I double oven BD81, light coming on?

    I believe the light comes on whenever ANY energy regulator is turned and stays on for a preset time determined by the module in the top cavity.

    Probably doesn’t help without a wiring diagram though.

    Re: BELLING FORMAT

    If it’s the cooling fan that’s running, then it could be the trigger board down by the mains terminal block.

    Fitted one a few weeks ago, The Creda part is the same but cheaper.

    DONT be tempted to use plastic zip ties. I followed a Hotperloni Engineer(ha) who had done just that and flooded the customer’s floor.

    Re: Thomson local are they any good

    I advertise in three places. Thomson, Friday Ad and the Yellow Pages. Friday Ad is by far the best (fifteen calls plus per week) then Thomson (about ten per week), then Yellow Pages (about six per week). I rely quite heavily on two of my local dealers feeding my customers through.

    I do find Thomson is a bit seasonal. When it first comes out I have so many calls I don’t know what to do… Then it calms down after about two months. Yellow pages is much more predictable.

    I have a website but I don’t promote it heavily and I get very few calls direct from the site.

    Re: Safety Issue on Hotpoint Dishwashers

    The last one I saw was yesterday. Hotpoint model DWT10 Serial No 24710601.

    As I said it’s not the first I have seen.

    Re: Safety Issue on Hotpoint Dishwashers

    I will post at least one model number and serial number tomorrow. I have seen several machines though, including slimline versions.

    I just thought… Perhaps any power is isolated by the door switch whilst the door is open.

    I normally take them off with a small screwdriver and replace with a jubilee clip. Jubilee clips are very reasonable price through Connect.

    Same goes with Indesit circ pumps.

    Re: Bosch SGS6312GB/07

    Really strange. I had a similar one yesterday and was about to post a question. Mine is a model SGS66A02GB/13.

    At turn on the every electrical component runs at the same time. Pump, circ motor, fill valve, transfer valve. There is no display at all and the reset does not work. Is it something with these modules?

    I am guessing at the module but I’m a bit stumped.

    for God sake Andy! it’s 2 O’clock in the morning!!!

    Are these relays readily available to change in the field? I usually give up on circuit repairs if I can’t see a defective track.

    It does make you feel good if you can repair it rather than give up… and the customer loves it.

    The Bosch website is a useful guide for spare part numbers and includes exploded diagrams of all Bosch Siemens And Neff machines. However I believe technical info is a bit harder to get hold of.

    Have a look on eBay. There’s usually quite a few for sale at really low final bid prices.

    Re: another joke.

    Two old ladies are outside their nursing home, having a drink and a smoke, when it starts to rain.One of the old ladies pulls out a condom, cuts off the end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking.

    Maude: What in the hell is that?

    Mable: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn’t get wet.

    Maude: Where did you get it?

    Mable: You can get them at any drugstore.

    The next day, Maude hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms.
    The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely
    (she is after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what
    brand of condom she prefers.

    “Doesn’t matter Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel.”

    The pharmacist fainted.

    Re: Aeg LW1259 Washing machine, Drum bearings question.

    I use a sheet of plastic sold in garden centres for filling bin bags. It’s rolled up and in theory you roll it up inside out, put it inside a bin bag and it opens up and holds the bag open whilst you put your hedge trimmings etc in the bag. It’s crap for that!, but it’s great for use as a floor protector… 😛
