Hi Dave i used carbons from Maddocks , i tried a different motor with the same carbons and am awaiting the results .unfortunately i didnt have any froim another supplier to try thanks for your input John
Hi thanks guys the problem is the customer somehow managed to push the shaft into the machine i recovered it but realised there was a spring or something missing as the dial is loose now , does the potentiometer come complete as from memory it looked like the housing is part of the facia thanks john
thanks Dave i have been with them for thirty years but went to Maddocks recently i dont like not being able to talk to someone
Thanks Dave i appreciate that however the thermistor i was refering to is the one on the heater assembly you normally have to buy the whole thing i am hoping to get a thermistor ( ntc ) only , thanks again John
Hi Dave its jhames@blueyonder,co,uk by the way are all dryer thermistors similar i would like to try just changing it thanks John
hi i called to look at this and found it was only the door plastic lug that operates the switch had snapped off , so i drilled a suitable sized hole and screwed a self tapping screw into the door , i also noticed the hinge needed the two screws tightening , i think that could have caused the lug to break off , considering the machine is only two yrs old and cost nearly £800 its a very expensive repair if you replace the door hope this helps thanks John
hi just an update on this i fitted the lock the buzzing has stopped but no motor action i tried pushing the drum still no action , so i changed the capacitor and it worked .my thought now is did the capacitor cause the door lock to fail or did the door lock cause the capacitor to fail or was it just coincidence .if i get this again i will try a capacitor first as its much easier to change Thanks John
Thanks Murv i am still waiting for the part to arrive sounds like that is the problem though thanks again John
