    Re: Candy CNW156 dryer TOC (parts breakdown not in manual)

    If it’s the manual reset one 162C with blue writing on the side it’s part number 91213520.

    And you’re right, there’s no piccie of the dryer unit, only the parts are listed 😕

    Re: Zanussi ZX99/5 No “frost free”

    If you’re sure the heaters are ok (checked when out of circuit) there is an overheat cut out in there as well, check that for continuity.

    Make sure you unplug it 1st 😉

    There are no sensors relating to the defrost cycle that I can see, it’s all controlled and timed by the control unit.

    If you’re after an engineer, which is probably the way to go, can you pop your postcode up, there’s a few engineers on UKW that cover your area but not all the postcodes.

    Re: Diplomat ADP 8132 Dishwasher

    Yep, that’s the same part.

    I would ask an engineer to check it, if you buy one and it doesn’t work it’s a costly mistake as you won’t be able to return it once it’s been fitted.

    Pop your postcode up, there’s lots of engineers on UKW who are familiar with MFI/Smeg products.

    It’s the defrost cycle that seems to be the problem.

    As there’s a few versions of this model can you post the product number up, it begins 92840????. You’ll find it on the rating plate, next to the salad bin normally.

    Re: Diplomat ADP 8132 Dishwasher

    Ah right, sorry I missed the bit about your other post, which I’ve read now.

    It sounds to me as if the control unit may be playing up, sometimes though the dispenser can cause these wierd errors as can other short circuit components which effect the software.

    Best get an engineer out to be honest or if you’re going to have look at it yourself, make sure the plug is pulled 1st.

    Re: Hoover HFA290 (ALU) Fridge-Freezer – Weird noise

    Without hearing it it’s difficult but it sounds from what you describe as air is being sucked in through a small gap somewhere as the air pressure drops inside the fridge as it cools.

    Frost-free units are noisier than normal fridge/freezers as they have additional fans inside to circulate the air.

    If you’re unsure or unhappy with the noise level, it may be worth phoning Hoover customer care as they may send an engineer to check it for you.

    Re: Diplomat ADP 8132 Dishwasher

    If you have the left hand light flashing, there should also be another light which stays on all the time ?

    Normally this will mean that there is a leak and the anti-flood device has been activated.

    Can you confirm which lights stay on and which ones flash.

    Re: Hotpoint ‘funny money’ pricing!

    When you consider I can buy the pattern equivalent to 1603030 for less than 50p a pair……….

    When Merloni took control of GDA they implemented the minimum spare price of £2.50, this was always the case with Indesit/Ariston spares as that is Merloni policy, it was not Hotpoint policy to do this before.

    Re: Well There We Have It!

    I tend to take the same line to be honest.

    You want it back, come and get it. I’ll either dump it and never pay for it or they can issue me a credit note, whichever they choose.

    If they put my account on hold for not paying for something I didn’t order or is not required for any particular reason, fine, I can’t repair any of your customers appliances then 😉

    Re: Parts Guarantee

    My view has always been to offer a 12 month guarantee as it raises our level of service above our competitors and gives the customer faith in the work we carry out.

    In most cases the wholsalers and manufacturers we deal with are no problem at all with returning faulty parts within the guarantee period.

    This of course only applies to chargeable work where the margin we make on spares and the general service/labour charges take in to account the odd failure.

    Contract work is another matter and is/has been discussed before and no doubt will be again 😉

    Re: Diplomat ADP8234 – Dishwasher not working, symbol on dis

    If you’re getting wierd or illegible characters in the display it can only really be the control module itself normally.

    It is possible it may be caused by a short elswhere in the appliance, though this is unlikely.

    A replacement control unit is around the £140 mark inc VAT, but it may be worth asking an engineer to attend and confirm this is the fault.

    Dave.
