Re: Please Help Bosch Dishwasher Problem

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if this model has some form of timer unit or is everything run from the control PCB behind the buttons ?

Thanks
Chris.

Re: Please Help Bosch Dishwasher Problem

Hi,

Thanks for the reply Kwatt. The machine drains fine when you press the two buttons to reset the program. When it originally refused to end the cycle it was running it had drained all the water away, It just never came to a cycle end and the end light come on.

If I turn it on now to run a cycle it doesn’t do anything except make the sort of grumbling noise (not drain pump but something else like a timer) it always made this noise and was normal at intervals throughout the cycle. It only ever lasts in bursts of a few seconds but it’s like it’s stuck as it does nothing else apart from this. As soon as I press the two buttons to reset and force it to finish a cycle the drain pump fires into action for a while and then the end light comes on as it would normally at the end of a program.

If I mess about with the micro switches on the float chamber ?? thingy I can make the drain pump and what sounds like the fill pump operate using the different ones but it just doesn’t seem to want to do anything automatically. I looked at the PCB behind the switches and there is no evidence of any burnt out components or dry joints.

Any ideas or advice gratefully received as everything appears to work, just not automatically 😕

Many thanks again
Chris

Re: Smoke coming from Hotpoint WM52P

Thanks Jim, The drum support broke and was replaced a while ago along with the bearings but like you say it must have been hitting off the element before it gave up. Now the element must have finally corroded through as it had melted all around the gasket and half way through the front housing.
Out of interest how do low temperature washes increase the corrosion of the aluminium drum support?

Thanks again
Chris.

Re: Smoke coming from Hotpoint WM52P

It’s O.K. I took the front off and discovered that at some point the drum had been rubbing on the heater element and now it had decided to short out and melt it’s way through the plastic front outer drum cover!

Cheers
Chris.

Re: Hotpoint WM52P Inner Drum

Thanks for the reply. Guy reckoned if you didn’t glue the seal in it would leak water somehow ❓ ❓
Only way I could see is if you didn’t clean up the bore where the seal sits before fitting.
Thanks again
Cheers
Chris.

Re: Hotpoint WM52P Inner Drum

Hi again,

Somone told me that with these machines the replacement seal for the bearings is glued in otherwise “You’ll flood the place” was the quote. I just wanted to check if any of you have ever heard of or had to do this???

Thanks
Chris.

Thanks again guys 😀

Re: Hotpoint WM52P Inner Drum

Thanks once more Penguin and can I just check that the part you linked to definately fits the WM52P as it isn’t in the list of machines on the page. It jumps from 40’s to 60’s.

Cheers
Chris.

Re: Hotpoint WM52P Inner Drum

One last question, just to save trial and error 😮 . Can the bearings/Seal be fitted to the outer drum when it’s in situ and what holds them in place. I.E. do they just lever/drift out or is there any retaining devices.

Thanks Again
Chris.

Re: Hotpoint WM52P Inner Drum

No problem Penguin, Once again thanks for the reply. After reading your reply a second time I realised you had said the pulley unscrews. Really must learn to read with more patience 😀

Cheers
Chris.

Re: Hotpoint WM52P Inner Drum

Thanks for the reply Penguin, The nut is off, It’s the pulley that appears stuck to the shaft. Is this normal? I thought maybe it was on a taper or something hence the question about the puller.

Cheers
Chris.

Re: Ariston Drum Support

Damn, Thanks for the reply Martin.
I was hoping there was a later or modified part I could have used and bolted in place instead of the original as I hate throwing out things for the sake of one part when the rest of it works.
Stupid idea riveting it on and selling the whole drum! 😡
Thanks again for the reply
Chris.
