Re: Hotpoint WMA Carbon Brushes

Bosch/seimens type brushes for Hotpoint WMA: 33396
CESET type (the one I couldnt remember) :83416Re: Hotpoint WMA Carbon Brushes
We have come across 3 differrent motors fitted to Hotpoint Wma’s. The FHP ones (like aeg but with the tag facing the opposite way like the late AEG rahter than the early AEG L & R types, Siemens ones which I think is what you have here, I do have the part number at work but not right now, I will post tommorow if no one else has. I cannot remember the 3rd one but there is definatly one out there. With merloni now involved who knows, maybe soon we will be having check the colour of the writing on the label.
Re: Zan DWS949
the great thing is that this is the easiest part ever to fit, 5 min job once the machine is out. I would also recomend a new filter as these have benn modded seveal times, the bad new is that the filter kit takes longer to fit than the motor.

Graffters, one often missed and I can’t remember the last time they were mentioned but they’re great people to work with as well and offer realistic rates.I can’t remember ever having heard of them, let alone seen them mentioned in any posts. Contact details please ?
And yes, let’s keep up the praise for the good guys here, it’s nice to see it 😀

They service a lot of pubs who they generaly lease the cheapest crap washing machine to (tricity CAW800’s). Usually with no warranty due to the commercial nature of its use. By the time we get a service call the machines are wrecked so most jobs are just estimates and reports. They do have some sort of link with Leisure cookers as we get some customer pre paid service calls which they supply the parts foc and we bill just for labour. they pay our “normal” chargeable rate for these but I found out from a customer that leisure has already charged them £150 so both leisure and or grafters are taking a fair slice themselves. There is not much paperwork, just a faxed job sheet but the brewery who owns the pubs insist on a managers repair certificate from the pub, requests for which are often met with a WTF is that response.
They dont pay on time in general but a cheque often arrives at the same time as a urgent request for another call arrives… funny that. Speak to Howard, a bit eccentric but a nice chap. They are very laid back and dont seem to suffer from the stress of this industry and often seem to be partying when I call them!Re: Bendix small washer
Is this the weird Bendix compact that drove the timer off the drum pulley? that was one strange machine. I think Zanussi still market a small relative of that now if you dont have any luck with the pressure swtich (even that was a odd looking thing)
Re: Can anybody reccomend a firm to recon pcb’s and modules
EMW do a lot of modules now, sorry I am at home and dont have their details but judging by their accents they are from “up North” somewhere.
But, as I have also found with QER, that they have good reason for all the unrepairables given the complexity and special chips on boards these days. Gone are the days of Bt139’s and 5.6K resistors making easy repairs, Just testing the things must be a nightmare.Re: Hot News About Indesit
anyone here come across one of these? We have done a few burnt out circ pumps and well, lets face it they are crap, but fires? I didnt get to see the programme so only know what I have read here. I assume watchdog will have exaggerated a bit as usual. Who remembers the “power surge” article when a load of Hotpoint mains filters went pop. They showed film of Nuclear mushroom clouds to demonstrate it!

also zanussi induction motor £135 + vat! machine is nearly 20 yrs old and the lady is having it fixedThe GDA cost of that power unit is way less than that, it would seem the parts wholsalers dont want to bother with it hence the high cost.
Re: Beware this scam
I got the same one today, makes me wonder what mailing list they are using. DASA?

Mind you, that yellow freshener thing hanging there is defo stopping that spray arm turning.
Re: soap scum in washing machine
I dont know of an easy instant fix for this but dont use liquid detergent as this only makes the problem worse. Powder or the hard tablets are best.
Re: Sunday – Day Off
It wasnt like my tools, more the jack and whatever else was in the citroen toolkit. I never seen it so I dont know what was in it. I found a sad citroen owners forum and it seem that everyone in the whole country with a Citroen has had their spare wheel stolen. So, if you have a citroen, go take a look underneath….its probably not there! Question is where are all these wheels?
