Re: Samsung RL41WGTB, not cooling
The Samsung shouldn’t need a new compressor, just the pipework reverse purging, easy and cheap to do. New dryer, vacuum down and regas.
As for the Daewoo, they are a cheaper version of the LG SBS, using forced air into the fridge from the freezer, good machine. As Bob said, the most common fault is the fan motor becoming intermittent and an occasional damper motor failing.
Re: BEKO WM95135LB
For the future:
Usual Beko way of entering the diag mode:
Selector switch to cotton program, turn on. Should display an error code.
Prob get F11 or F13, F11 is faulty motor, F13 is faulty motor PCB
The motor should be easier to test, it’s a standard BLDC induction type, so should get 3 lots of the same coil readings and also megger to the motor case. However they use a hall sensor for accurate speed control, this will need some more detail testing (easy if you have done before) if these are OK then go for the motor PCB, the inductor can be tested for open circuit, it sits in the neutral supply. It can also be momentarily by passed (for no more than a second) and will indicate if faulty or not.
Hope this helps guys
Re: Beko BDVC667w Problem with hob
Hi again Ray,
Looking at the manual, none are shown as fitted. I remember finding a PTC in line with the live feed from the terminal block on a few models, it would only supply 3 of the hobs, bizarrely. In can’t remember the models though.
However, following the schematic, the hobs are fed as 2 separate circuits: Hobs 1 and 2 are fed from L1 terminal block and 3/4 from L2,
I would have a look at the terminal block itself, they use a polyphase type with links in, check there are making contact etc.Re: Beko BDVC667w Problem with hob
There can be a PTC fitted to the rear oven wall that can cause issues with 3 out of 4 hob rings.
Re: Beko DPU 8360 W tumble dryer
Could you send me the full model number and S/N and I’ll pass it on
Re: Puting a higher rated oven element in
It is a technical aspect, due to the effect it would have on the appliance and the installation.
It would cause the element to draw more current to achieve the same heat level, albeit quicker, then the stat would cut off at the pre-set temp.
What I want to know is how many of you would be happy fitting a higher than spec. rated element and do you feel it is safe?
Thanks all.
Re: Beko DPU 8360 W tumble dryer
Hi Mate,
Basically, the heat pump is a fridge system, the condenser will produce the heat and the evaporator will remove the moisture from the air flowing over it.
If you put it in to diagnostic mode, it will run a self check on the heat pump system and let you know whether it is functioning or not. If the heat pump system is faulty, such as lost any gas or weak compressor, it will be a write off unless under warrantee.
Remember these do run cooler than a standard TD (approx. 30{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}), it’s all about the temperature differential, so drum temp may be around 60 degrees C.
