    If you are asking that question, you really need an engineer to sort this out for you.

    Re: Ariston AWD12 Spin fault

    It sounds like the drum support has cracked to me, it could still be a loose object in the drum though, maybe also suspension related.

    There’s no real easy way to tell to be honest, it will need either an expert ear to listen to it or stripping down.

    If you need an engineer to look at it for you, post your postcode here, someone should be able to assist.

    Regards

    Yes, that’s exactly what I was refering to, sorry if it was misleading.

    You could try leaving the machine off with no power for a few hours then try the reset procedure, if that doesn’t work, it’s time for an engineer I think.

    That’s good that you have a good conscientious (Independant I would imagine ;)) repairer, let us know the outcome if you would please.

    Re: Diplomat ADP 8224 dishwasher

    Which pump did you replace, drain or wash ?

    I think you’re wife (I assume anyway, correct me if i’m wrong) posted the same query a week or two back.

    It sounds to me as if the dishwasher is actually filling but the ciirculation motor isn’t running or the overflow protection system is permanently activated.

    I would look at what you’ve already done and check for incorrect wiring, wires accidently pulled off terminals, or did you/someone misdiagnose in the first place and this has been the fault all along ?

    Regards.

    Good point, I’ve cancelled them and will look into a domestic whole house solution 😉

    Re: Gorenje

    One thing I can never quite understand about distributors who negotiate with manufacturers and get the Independant retailers an exclusive brand is why they never take service for the Independants into consideration.

    Many of the retailers will also have service capabilities or know someone they use and recommend to their customers, so why not do a total deal, we sell the product, if it goes wrong, we repair the product.

    Our own customers will recieve a far higher level of service which in turn will increase customer satisfaction of a particular brand, which in turn will increase sales, fuzzy logic ? No, basic common sense, a scenario where everyone is happy 😀

    F11 is definitely a pump related fault, it may well need resetting as well though, here is the process:

    Turn the washer off, then turn the dial to any black dot. Now turn the washer on and you should see the power indicator light flash 3 times. On the third flash turn washer off again and select a wash programme. Turn the washer on again and after a couple of seconds the machine should start.

    If that doesn’t work, then you will need an engineer, come back and tell us how you get on or if you need an engineer, someone here may be able to help..

    Re: Indesit We16

    F-10 means there is something wrong with the pressure system, which could be one of a few things really, the codes are only a guide for engineers and rarely conclusive.

    Try resetting the pcb as per the user manual and see if it rectifies the problem, if it doesn’t you’ll most likely need an engineer.

    Re: Smeg DWF 64 Fault

    As you say, that fault code does not exist, even in the Smeg technical publication.

    It may well be a pcb error in that case, you can try resetting the electronics, like this:

    Open the door (keep the door open all the time until you get to “close the door” instruction).
    Switch off the d/w using the on/off switch.
    Switch the d/w on again.
    Within 2 seconds, push the start/pause button 4 times.
    Now all the lamps will be on.
    Switch off the dishwasher, keeping its door open.
    Close the door
    Switch on again
    Select a program from the timer.

    If that doesn’t work, time to call an engineer to verify that the pcb may be faulty.

    Re: Smeg DWF 64 Fault

    Mark, can you let us know from left to right which lights stay on permanently and which one’s flash – i.e. furthest left = no. 1 etc.

    As you rightly say, even though we should be able to identify what the fault code is, it is rarely a good diagnostic tool, merely an engineer’s guide.

    Regards.

    Yeah, pull ’em, they will come off. Grip the button with your forefinger and thumb then tug.

    There’s only one tube, I can get you one if required, let me know the wattage and length when you have got the panel off and drop me an email.
