Re: website closure
Try downloading and installing Ad-Aware SE from Lavasoft….its free and will remove all spy/adware on your pc. You might be surprised just how many of the little beggars lurk there…all of them doing their reporting back, taking up processor speed and bandwidth!
Cut and paste this into your browser to go there…http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Per … l&tag=top5

Re: ignis akl 394 oven door
Hi camco
The doors are usually removable from the oven…and are held together with srcews at the base. The inner glass will need rebonding.
Try posting this is the Public Help section and more advice will follow 😉
CliveRe: Bosch Compact Dishwasher SKT500 – Salt problem
Hi
Firstly you need to establish what exactly is causing the white streaks.
If it wipes off easily and can be dissolved with lemon juice or vinegar then it is chalk that has been left in the water because it hasn’t been softened properly.
If the white deposit tastes of salt then you undoubtedly have a faulty softener which cannot be reapaired, just replaced.
If the deposits are difficult to remove with a DRY cloth then it is more likely that the wash water was not clean enough (blocked filter/spray arms usually)It is possible that a little salt was left in the salt reservoir window leading you to believe there was sufficient, thus putting more in would not show in the window until you had put in more than one dose.
If the softener has a problem it is unlikely to be repairable, but should be replaceable…i’m sure others here can provide a price for you though obviously this sort of repair would need an engineer.

Re: Indesit WDG 1195 – Doesn’t dry.
Hi Charlie
Have you ckecked to see if the machine has a drain-out filter….if this is blocked it would stop the machine draining the condensate away (plus the cold water spray let into the condenser)
The other possibility is the fan motor isn’t actually running…especially if the machine has been stored unused for a length of time….this would require an engineer to sort out of course
CliveRe: Hotpoint FFA91P noise
Hi Stefan
In my experience, yes it may settle down although this can’t be guaranteed…the problem is actually due to the high standard of modern insulation within the machine which therefore has much thinner walls than used to be the case a number of years ago. The result is there is less ‘bulk’ to absorb the refrigerant noises.
Not a lot you can do except wait and see i’m afraid.
CliveRe: Bosch SGS4012
Cheers Martin 🙂
…I use loctite bonding/sealer…basically silicone but a bit thicker and ‘chewier’ than normal silicone. I’m aware that stainless steel comes in over 400 grades ranging from aerospace down to recycled bean tin, and most dishwashers fall firmly in the last category, but when you examine the holes carefully there is no sign of corrosion whatsoever i.e. the sides of the hole are bright.
Also, from the previous threads, the holes seem to be in the same area each time…must be something to do with the manufacturing process i’d a thought?
I’ve had one or two other makes with this prob over the years but it’s not as common as on the Bosch’s it seemsClive
Re: APM 6842 fridge freezer problem
Hi Kennedy
Yes a lack of ventilation can cause problems with fridge freezers, particularly when they are built in, however it would have to be almost airtight behind the appliance to make it cut out in such short order!
More likely there is a fault with the thermostat which the engineer should be able to sort easily for you….thermostats are mass produced items and occasionally a faulty one ‘escapes’ the factory! 😉
Do mention the ventilation to the engineer as well…he should be able to advise if there is sufficient, or if the kitchen fitters need to return (many installation books that come with the appliance give detailed drawings of how the ventilation should be created)Clive
Re: Bosch Dishwasher Not Working
Anytime john….hope that sorts it for you 🙂
P.S. The pressure diaphragm is not accessible without the lid and side coming off first so maybe time for an engineer?

Re: Which zanusi/bosch/ aeg condense dryers hav waste water
Hi Martin
Yes fitting a drain would be pointless but many dryers stand next to a washing machine of course (which has a drain), and the drain pipe from the dryer is usually a small diameter affair which can fit in alongside the washer drain hose 😉
…and no to-ing and fro-ing to the sink with plastic containers full of water! 🙂
………..and no bashing of walls to put vent kits in either 😆Clive
Re: Bosch Dishwasher Not Working
Hi John
I’ve had two cases like this when machines have not been used for a lengthy period.
In the first, the pressure diaphragm at the side had stuck (the cure was manually exercising it), the second was rodent damage (nibbled the flood protector float in the base, the chewed bits getting lodged underneath it)Hope that helps?

Re: tricity bendix dishwasher
a bit strange…the water control system is the same for both wash and rinse….may just be a blockage somewhere thats shifting about, after all if the element is coming on then the machine has registered (erroneously) that it has a full charge of water.

Re: Burnt out Bosch/Siemens Motor?
Hi Martin
Yes….I’ve had two where a segment has lifted out of the armature and in both cases the module survived 🙂
I’ll keep me fingers crossed for you anyway!

Re: Which zanusi/bosch/ aeg condense dryers hav waste water
I beg to differ Martin…any condensor dryers that have the condensate tank at the top ( I have seen a few) do in fact have a pump to get the water there, and usually have the feed pipe from the pump expeosed at the back so it can be run into a drain instead. As to which makes/models are available new at the moment I can’t advise i’m afraid…I only see them when they’ve broken down 😉
CliveRe: Bosch sps5462GB/18
Hi Karen
Sorry to be the harbinger of doom but it sounds like the floorpan of your dishwasher was full of water. This indicates either a leak or more likely it has overfilled. In both cases you have overcome the symptom but not affected a cure, and you may find that it will work for a few times then stop again. If this is the case then it’s time for professional help i’m afraid 🙁
