Re: hotpoint card readers and hardware key
Used one a couple of times on dishwashers…just carefully follow the instructions and they are straightforward 😉
Re: Diplomat Dishwasher Fault Code
That one’s a smeg built machine but those error lights aren’t in the list of fault codes which means it’s likely to be a software issue (pcb).
You might be able to reset it by opening the door and switching on then within 3 seconds press the program button four times. This will put it into test mode…shut the door and let it start. Once it’s running, open the door and switch off again…hopefully this will reset it but i have to say it’s sometimes a bit hit-and-miss.
Other than that it’s a new pcb which can be costly i’m afraid.
Re: Hotpoint WDD960
Cheers for that Martin…i suspect there’s too many ‘1’s in that last number and that throws up the plastic support panel for the valves at the back but going on description i’ve ordered the VMPlate from connect so we’ll see what arrives.
Thanks again.Re: Bosch SGS43A22UK/01 dishwasher.
No…but had plenty with float problems!
The bottom seal isn’t actually a seal of course, just a baffle to stop waves rolling over so even if it looks pretty bad it still does the job simply by being there. The float sometimes leaks and gets water in it but you can usually see a few tiny drips in the clear section of it. Make sure you put the float in the right way up, can;t remember for the life of me whether the clear section is at the top or bottom though so make a mental note when you take it out.
HTH?
Re: Zanussi FLE1016W – 12901698
Most likely the brushes in the motor are worn out and on the point of failure…you might be able to hear them crackling (sparking) on the spin cycle if that’s the case. When they wear out the motor stops turning….
Easy and cheap repair, a new set of brushes and away you go 😉
Re: Advice needed – Safety Issue!
How did you get on? Until the other week i would have said don’t be too concerned but i did attend one of these for an insurance assessment…..
I think it was fortunate that in this particular kitchen the worktops were stainless steel normally only seen in commercial kitchens and not in a residential property like this was. There were signs of heat damage to the worktop and the smoke damage was considerable. There was also some damage to the flooring where the housewife had beaten the flames down with a damp cloth which had flicked molten plastic about! 😯
Re: Fault Code Guide
Just to update on this, i now have a Samsung with android and the FCG displays perfectly! Why my HTC (which is also android of course) didn’t like it heaven only knows….
Re: Whirlpool ADG 7550 dishwasher keeps beeping
6 flashes is a filling fault so if the supply tap is turned on ok then the pcb isn’t registering the fact that water is coming in.
The usual cause for that is poor connections on the flow meter, situated at the bottom of the metering tank on the LHS. Disconnect the small plug from it’s pcb (carefully as it is not very robust) squeeze it in your fingers to tighten the grip of the contacts then clean the tracks where it connects either with a pencil rubber or some very fine emery. Reconnect then let us know the outcome?
Re: SMEG FAB32 Compressor Continuous Running
The machine may well be fitted with two different compressors from new, they are different power outputs for the two cabinets. The left hand one is indeed the freezer pot, the right hand one is for the fridge which should be totally unaffected by the fault.
If the fz pot is running continuously then yes it is either short of coolant or it is worn. Either way quite an expensive fix i’m afraid 😕
Re: Hotpoint WMA76 not emptying
Hello Diane
Yes it sounds like you have a blockage there somewhere. If it does eventually drain ok then it’s unlikely to be a faulty pump and that’s the good news.
Bad news is you need to find the blockage…
Does the drain hose connect to the sink waste pipe? If it does have a look there first, disconnect the drain hose and hold in a bucket/large bowl then see if the machine drains quickly into it. If it does then the blockage is in the spigot on the sink waste.
If the hose fits into the top of an open pipe then the blockage is inside the machine…and where you go after that depends very much on your DIY ability! The blockage is most likely to be in the sump hose immediately under the tub, only accessible from underneath by tipping the machine back and using a screwdriver on it’s clip…they can be a little bit fiddly to refit too. Plug out at all times and plenty of towels handy to mop the floor…Let us know how you get on?
Re: Bosch WTE84308GB – Cleaning front vent!
Ah yes sorry…i cut and pasted the model number into Bosch’s website and it returned no results…
Just tried exactly the same procedure and this time it came up…two variants but essentially the same.
Martin is correct but if it is really fluffed up in there you need to clean it so two choices, either employ the services of an engineer or just go for it and prise the cover off. If you do happen to break it, it’s not a particularly expensive part (cover plate, part number 445593)
Maybe a small toothbrush and a hoover might be a good first try?
