Re: Bernstien Dishwasher playing up AGAIN
😆 The joys of this job abound…all you need now is a non-paying owner who gives you the full report of progress at around half-past eight on a sunday morning 😯 😆
Back to the problem…if you can use a multimeter you can check resistance readings through the various switches (safety, timer etc) and anything less then half an ohm is good. If one reads over an ohm then odds on it’s goosed.
While you’re at it have a look at the wiring loom where it goes through the bottom of the door, check for breaks in the conductors….
Re: Smeg DWF1 014870600
Yep that’s the fella….if it’s tripping to the first level when there’s hardly any water at all then it’s out of adjustment provided the matrix is spotless. They used to put a blob of paint on the adjuster screws to hold them but i haven’t seen any with this for ages now, and i have had the odd one or two that re-adjust themselves as a result.
If you’ve got the time and patience you can work out which screw is which (trip level and difference level) then readjust but as this has a timed top-up it might be a lengthy process as the only way is trial and error 😕
Pragmatically speaking, fit a new one 😆
Re: Smeg DWF1 014870600
First port of call for me would be the matrix on the RHS which do gunge up, or possibly the pressure switch has readjusted itself? These machines i think fill to pressure switch trip then time a top up.
IIRC these can be set for a slow filling and low pressure installation by button pushes…can’t remember how to do it but details may be in the user handbook?
Re: Beko DWD 4310W, Rinse aid!
Either something that isn’t rinse aid has been put in, or wash water has got in it (lid seal missing/damaged or lid left open during wash)
If you can get the dispenser out of the door you might be able to clean it out with hot water and shaking it around, but often the only cure is a new dispenser 😕
Re: Bernstien Dishwasher playing up AGAIN
For the definitive diagnosis you need a multimeter…on the stuck position check for continuity (ohms) through timer switch E1-E3, heater, stat and associated wiring to live and neutral.
…with power off at ALL times when testing :zap:
…then replace either the heater or the stat as required…

Steve.Now that’s what i call service! 😆 Glad your son came through with flying colours Steve!
….and Tony glad you’re ok too…sounds like a much deserved rest is in order :tup:
Re: Holes in clothes
Probably the best way is to upload it to a free host like photobucket then cut ‘n’ paste the link on the forum here 😉
Re: Bosch Exxcel 1100 WF02264GB/01 drum not rotating
Yep some extra noise is inevitable until the new brushes bed in but also the tacho end bearing usually suffers a little from the heat of the brush failure.
It will quieten down a little but may never be quite as quiet as when new but that itself shouldn’t cause a failure 😉
Re: Bosch washing machine WFO 2464GB Strange noise?
Bosch would have you renew the motor with the scar around the commutator but every one i’ve come across i’ve cleaned with emery which has smoothed it although not got rid of it, and only ever had one motor go down as a result (i suspect the armature was already goosed by the heat of the brush failure anyway)
Give the comm. a brush out with an old toothbrush after, install the new brushes then run on a full spin program with no load to bed them in.
Re: Holes in clothes
A good way is to stick your head right in the drum and use a torch to shine through the holes, turning the drum helps to get a better view of what’s behind…not very dignified 😯 😆 but often you will spot a foreign object.
The twelve o’clock position is usually favourite because the heater is located there. 😉
Re: Bosch Exxcel 1100 WF02264GB/01 drum not rotating
Glad to see it’s not just me that has fun and games with that darned spring!
BTW….were you doing that by the side of the motorway Chris? 😆
:waving:
Re: Bosch Exxcel 1100 WF02264GB/01 drum not rotating
Just slide the tags to find the slots cut in them…have a look at the new set if you have them already?
You certainly don’t need to bend anything 😉

Would be good to know what I’m trying to achieve, rather than just experimenting and getting into a pickle. Not done this job before, but I’m an engineer at heart, and know about electrical stuff 🙂We can’t give detailed ‘how-to’ instructions (see forum rules) but the belt is the first and last thing you need to do…they are elasticated and quite tight but you seem to have worked out how to deal with that correctly.
Once you tip it over all will be revealed but it’s good practice not to tip it over horizontal…you may get away without damaging other components, you may not.
Having got the motor off have a good close look at the tags on the brushes, they are what secure them in their holders…it’s a bit of a knack to get them in and out but once you’ve done one you’ll wonder what the fuss was all about but also realise why they are a PITA to do in situ! 😉
Plug out at all times of course :zap:
Re: Holes in clothes
There can be a number of causes….
If you’ve had some metal work behind the drum (coins etc) then these can damage the back of the drum…the clothes during spin will bulge through the holes in the drum so if these have been damaged they will tear the fabric. In this case the holes tend to be small and often with ‘picked’ threads.
If the holes are more circular and match the drum hole pattern then you may have a bra-wire or sock stuck behind the drum which rubs on the washing as it bugles through…..
Any chance of posting a pic of the damage?
