Re: indesit w1036 help!

Hi Maltheviking,

Thanks for the info – will get them to try it. I assume that the door lock is on a pressure switch and will unlock when the water level falls below a specified level. I think they are going to buy a new machine as the inherited one is a bit old but at least they can now get the washing out now.

Many thanks,

Dave.

Re: fridge freezer problem

Hi all,
Have just sorted the problem !!!!!!!

It was a slightly seized brass bearing in the fan in the freezer section. Dismantled fan, eased bearing tested fan – blew like a gale.

Freezer now working as if new!

Thanks for the hints/tips

Dave.

Re: fridge freezer problem

Hi all,

Thanks for the advice. Freezer still only goes down to -18c but i guess that will have to do. I’ll just have to keep an eye on it, but will bring home my calibrated meter from work to check -18c is the true figure as i dont entirely trust the display now.

Re: fridge freezer problem

Hi again.

ok, got plans from Bosch web site and took freezer apart whilst defrosting. All components seemed to test ok. Once defrosted switched back on with panels off. Evaporator frosted up all after about 1/2 an hour over so i think the gas is ok. Switched off and replaced panels. when switched back on display stuck at -6c with compressor running. Switched off and on again, display now showed -18c and compressor not switching on(clicking/twanging twice but not coming on). Switched off/on yet again, display now reads 0c and falling with compressor running.
Starting to suspect the board.

Re: drum needs manual help to start turning

Thanks Martin and Dave,

It turned out to be the motor capacitor as you suggested Martin.

Thanks again for all the help
