Re: The ‘Reason’ Washing Machine
but I’m assuming the ‘drum’ rotates? Now if that is the case surely once it has rotated through 180 degrees then the load wil
If you read the “advertorial” dross, the drawer only comes out halfway
This limits the cantilever-loading which would tend to topple the machine forward….the drum probably has a “shutter” which is retained by the fixed-structure (cabinet)when the drawer is pulled out….conversely, closing the drawer would close the drum . Alternatively, the cabinet could well contain a complete drum, with a second one, telescoping within it, attached to the drawer.
that one would have the “loading gap” in it’s wall.
nothing new here.
look to the vending-machine industry for simple,cheap hoppers/agitators/feeders to dose detergent.
Nothing new here either.Old marketing tenet….never underestimate the stupidity of the public.
I really had to laugh at the tosh about bending down to load the machine.
they really don’t think that Mrs punter is going to open the drawer, slam the laundry basket on the front edge and balance it whilst hauling the load over the lip and dumping it into the drum.?
Mebbe they’ve used the runners from an industrial parts -washer (glorified, heavy-duty dish-washer)
Anyway,I’m not for getting drawn into free publicity or product-development.
so, my prediction for “reason”…in the words of the inimitable,late-lamented, Nat “King” Cole…

Re: The ‘Reason’ Washing Machine
Corporal Jones school of Diplomacy “cold steel, they don’t like it up ’em ” 😆
The guy’s griping ‘cos his blatant advertising pitch has been pulled.there’s a lot that COULD have been posted on this technical-biased help site
that wasn’t.yes, i’ve posted rubbish that’s been removed,-i’ve also experienced the benifit of info.freely given when the enquirer was honestly trying to help themselves.
read my post,again, Martin….and Naughty’s.
It walks like a duck ,it quacks like a duck…………..Abuse of the forum to try to use it for free professional R/D and marketing by a commercial undertaking.
Sorry, I think it’s unethical….so do the mods, that’s why they appear to have pulled the “advertorial” unless it’s server-space and bandwidth are paid for.
Then , also , there’s the implied legitimising and endorsement of allowing this manufacturer/marketer under the site’s corporate umbrella.
He may be a good bloke, the machine might concievably be a genuine advance in home laundry, but this isn’t IMHO, the way to bring it to market.Maybe to old and cynical for my own good, but I think I recognise a duck,when I see/hear one.
Re: The ‘Reason’ Washing Machine
^^^^ healthy debate is one thing, A blatant attempt to hijack free publicity, free hosting and bandwidth and free consultancy, is taking the whizz a bit.
I’ve addressed some issues in a PM to you.
Whilst you may have thought it “clever” to attempt back-door entry onto the public-stage, you made the usual sales and marketing gaffe of assuming that “joe Soap” is as naive and stupid as your peers.
No cigar for you!….and don’t assume that waving the advertising-fee under this site’s owners, will buy you the seal of approval and credibility.
It may have escaped your attention…SO.
They are businessmen. They are professional and long-experienced field-engineers.
they understand the real-life conditions that appliances operate in and manufacturers’ failure to address shortcomings.
They have developed machine-concepts to fit the actual market, investigated and researched factories capable and willing to manufacture these uniquely specified machines.
They’ve produced the cash, commissioned the goods, set up a spares, stores and distribution network…..and appear to have lots of happy customers. (if there were problems or site-censorship,I’m sure the “red-top” gutter-press would have run an expose’ by now!
I’d suggest there’s a huge amount of expertise and public credibility attached to this site. to think you could hitch a free ride is stupid (being gentle there 😈 )
Perhaps you should consider submitting a “real, physical” machine to UK Whitegoods, together with the appropriate financial inducement….I’m sure they would give you a full analysis of this concept….and IF it was ,really, the best machine ever, I’m sure they’d be beating on your door with a distribution-contract. 🙂
Yes, IMHO, you really ARE a “naughty boy”
Re: Electolux ER7620C Larder Fridge Ice build up
Hi, Bryan-interesting stuff!
What’s the “advantage” (or is there a REAL benifit from the “wet wall” concept?….per my previous post, ~50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the surface-area is not going to be doing much(unless the absorbtion surface is heavily-finned,in which case there is increased manufacturing cost though that may be marginally offset by the smaller evap needed as a consequence of the “gearing -up”…..am I being smplistic, or am I really missing something?
Re: Electolux ER7620C Larder Fridge Ice build up
Then press the back wall with your fingers,Does it feel spongy ?if it does then there may well be a air gap between the liner and evaperator.
shirley…shouldn’t that be “a gap between the liner and the insulation?”
I thought the Evap. sat on spacers so that air could pass both sides, thus increasing thermal efficiency?
A delaminated insulation/liner bond would reduce both the gap and the insulation effectiveness.and i won’t call you” surely, “again 😆
Re: Daewoo FR-661NW
sorry ,Mr. T -didn’t really mean to be stroppy 😳
Have you tried the “parts” link on this site?
if it’s not listed, try an e-mail…….your support helps keep this site running, you get a top-quality part and the delivery is first-class.
I don’t query if I can find it cheaper elsewhere, as the hassle isn’t worth it.
at a quick glance, that looks fine.
correct coil-volts.
rated to carry more than the 230V mainscurrent through contacts rated at 10 amps.
I didn’t check wether the requirement is for a changeover relay ,or for a single-throw one(presume it’s the latter)….so you’re good to go.
Re: Electolux ER7620C Larder Fridge Ice build up
DUH! sorry, 😳 😳 :rolls: a senior moment for sure….what part of LARDER FRIDGE didn’t I see, in the title.
*slinks away*
Re: Electolux ER7620C Larder Fridge Ice build up
Now the proper engineers have told you, you still need to BE METHODICAL
the stat will change over…..from “cooling” (compressor)…to “heating”…..probably a delay-timer and relay, to switch the heater on.
It’s most unlikely that it would immediately switch from cooling to heating (though the Chinese may try that one)
No matter….it can switch as often as it likes…if the heater’s U/S it isn’t going to defrost! so, you need to check the heater, then check the circuit and all components that operate in the defrost circuit.
Freeze-spray is available from Maplin and is handy for testing thermostats.
taking a stab in the dark is a waste of money…..sure, you’ll eventually find the fault, but the idea of coming to this site is to save money and help the environment.
Re: The ‘Reason’ Washing Machine
Aha!….but supposing this is a lottery-winner with delusions that he’s reinvented the wheel 😆
shades of John Delorean here! I went to the (horrible) website and got the impression it was just a “teaser” and there was no physical product,just a computer-rendered proposed design. I’d assume from the info here, that the thing basically has a sump, a method to spray the sump-water over the clothes and some method of tumbling /turning them—-sort of a dishwasher type thing.I don’t see a future for it either…..as I said, to make a small fortune from it, he’ll need to start with a large one…..though I do believe there’s a possibility of a factory at Merthyr being available for handy money 😆
Re: Hoover Nextra HNU271A on the blink
Sorry, rather late in the day, ………suggest that with the door open, it may have built up excessive ice…..unplug and defrost for 36 hours….plug in and the compressor should run (with the door closed)
many fridges have an interlock built in that stops the compressor /circulating fan if the door is open….in which case my “help” is rubbish!
Re: Electolux ER7620C Larder Fridge Ice build up
you appear to have diagnosed your problem (it’s what I would have thought as well 😆 ) you need to find/meter the defrost heater (thin “tube” wrapped round the bottom of the evaporator? )
also the thermistor (if there is one) or perhaps it’s got a Stat connection. in which case it will only be able to switch on when the fridge is cold enough to switch the compressor “off” (otherwise the compressor and heater would be fighting each other! )
Re: Whirlpool ARC5070 Seal
use the “find a spare part feature under your post….super fast and top quality 😀 …e-mail or phone if your part isn’t on the listings.
Re: samsung SRL3916BSS Fost free Fridge freezer problems
there are a lot of people who can fix the fault…..once they know what it is 😆
Cycling it on a timeswitch is NOT a good idea, you also didn’t explain what effect the “freezer sensor” replacement had.-did it regulate the freezer temperature until the time-clock messes about with it?
the frost-free circuit has a heater which should melt any ice on the evaporator…it will be controlled by a “brain” and a sensor (probably a Thermistor) there will also be a “fridge temperature sensor….(probably another thermistor!)
the “brain” has to know if the compressor needs to run…..if it is running….door open?….compressor off ? ready to defrost? run defrost cycle…..has it finished? or does compressor need to run again?
that’s a gross simplification, then you’re doing the equivalent of throwing it in a soundproof, dark room every few hours!Check defrost heater and control circuit.
Re: Bosch compressor run-time
more correctly, you would be using 1.5 Kw H….that is, kilowatt hours(Kw being a measure of current flow rate) 🙂 1 Kwh =1 unit = ~15p…therefore costs about 23p a day to run.
It sounds as though it’s function is OK, just that it’s working harder to get there….as Paul said…the sealed-unit compressor can get worn, pump less efficiently,valves not seat as well,etc….this means it works longer to achieve the same end result.
the other factor that cannot be discounted , is partial loss of refrigerant gas…..not unheard of, same end result….eventually theif the loss continued, the compressor would attempt to run 24/7 ,the fridge would not cool at all and the compressor motor would burn out.
