I tried turning off one of the breakers that feeds part of the kitchen utility and the tumble dryer socket went dead, but the washing machine one was still powered. so im guessing there obviously fed from different circuits. I wonder if a local lightening strike hit the ground near by as both appliances have there backs to copper water and heating pipework, and it appears no other stuff was affected, though most of the other stuff that was left plugged in is fed by a surge protected strip or a ups in the case of the broadband router and server.

Re: SIEMENS WT46W56CGB iq700 possible faulty fan

thought id followup with the fix.

I removed the fan as it was quite easy to do, though broke one plastic retainer fitting the new one. I tested the fan and it was open circuit so replaced it with this one:

seems identical other than the last three numbers which are an oem part. I did have to retap an earth on another hole on the fan so it matched the original. but appart from that all good touch wood.

thanks for the reply. forgot to check back here.

have you got a service manual for one of these? or could tell me if the fan is stat controlled?

I’m a qualified electrician control panel engineer for 10 years and now a IT guy, so can usually fix most stuff.
