Re: Leisure Rangemaster 55 – Gas Cooker Not Getting Hot

Thanks Penguin. Thought it might be. Is it a relatively simple undertaking to fix?

We would never mess with gas – so will be certainly leaving it to the professional.

Ooops – it posted twice! Sorry

Thanks Clive – we’ll keep an eye on it.

It’s the first time that it’s happened. I drained the water and selected another program – which then worked fine. Then did another load on the program that was overfilling, that was fine too. So we’ll see how it goes.

Cheers

Re: Bosch WFL 2060 – Drum not rotating

😀 Well the new brushes that I ordered from this site arrived yesterday and we fitted them. We now have a fully operating machine 😀 . It was a bit confused initially and filled with too much water, but it sorted itself out and we’ve done two successful washes. The noise has gone too.

Thanks ever so much for your advice, it was very much appreciated. A fantastic site this – keep up the good work.

If done too often the armature can cook and go down to earth. This is often accompanied by a loud clicking noise as the segments of the commutator start to lift.

Does that sound familiar?

I suppose you could describe the noise on high spin as a roar yes. This only happened for a few washes before the drum stopped turning.

We took the motor off last night and had a look. The brushes are indeed very worn down, so I will order some replacements today and see if that solves the problem.

Thanks for your help 😀

Thanks Martin 😀 .

Yes, I gather from reading previous posts of drums not turning that the most likely problem is the brushes. I can’t see any mention of noise though – which makes me wonder whether our problem is more involved ❓ .
