Re: hoover washing machine program fault
New selector still never solved it so we took the other advice and fired in the bin and sold them a new machine.
Re: Indesit Moon

Re: Can I run a Bosch washing machine motor off a mains lead
Most brush motors can be run from mains ok. We do them a lot when customers bring in motors for brushes or testing. the main trouble is, is that they all have different ways of wiring. using a meter you need to find the the pairs of tags relating to armature and field. use a link wire to short one field and one arm and then apply mains to the other two. Do not connect the tacho, or on some motors the TOC. We use a dimmer switch inline so we can adjust the speed, this helps as you can start at a very slow speed and build up. use a three core lead so you can still earth the motor. As for the bosch motors, they are a pain. some makes of brushes seem to be better than others, but we stiil write a few off if the green flashing is too bad, usualy the ones with score mark through the centre of the comm.
Hope this helpsRe: Fan oven thermostat
sorry no model number on it. its about 30 years old.

Re: Bosch SGS43T58GB/21 Overfilling
this machine probably has a flow meter (impellor jug) down near the inlet valve. it measures the water intake using a small impellor with a magnet on it whitch passes a reed switch. the pulses are counted by the pcb.
Is it actually overfilling or is the safety switch just operating early, usually due to the front sump hose being chocked with sludge.
hope this helpsRe: Has something happened to AWI?

i have often wondered about buying from online stores but will the guarantee still be ok when you sell it on to your customer, as they are not actually wholesalers to the trade. do they assume that you are the end user. for example if i buy something for stock and then sell the item two months later, deliver it and find it damaged or faulty. surely they will not take it back.
some of those online prices are so amazing sometimes the profit margin i make could be very good and still sell it cheeper than normal.anyone else doing it !
