big problem with hoover is even their tech site is a pile of poo

does it flash on turn on or as programme progresses

if its just the spring, often you can re shape the end of the spring and re use it

well the tech manual shows a D7 diode

have you got a pic of the board ?

i would check dryer heater for earth faults

we get lots of problems like this when heaters have a slight leak to earth so check both heaters but the dryer is more likely

well you could not integrate it but there is no rule that says a free standing fridge has to be on the floor

Dave

[electrofix]

I have not fitted one but from the videos it looks very fiddly

Dave

[electrofix]

ok that makes a difference

I have been assuming its a build under fridge when its a built in fridge

completely different sizes

width is no problem its the height thats the sticking point

[USER=”125″]don[/USER] you got any info on this ?

As far as I know you should not have much problem with a dedicated freezer outside. The main problem is with fridge freezers where the freezer is ccontrolled by the fridge temperature. These units can defrost the freezer if the outside temp stays around +1 degrees

the only other problem you may have is condensation. In the old days the thermostats were machanical so a bit of moisture was ok. These days of circuit boards mean water can be a killer

sounds like an integrated under counter fridge

measure the gap not the fridge

most of them are designed for a 600mm gap cant see any 500mm

Dave

well looking that model up it comes up as a heatpump dryer so should not get anywhere near that hot

Dave

[electrofix]

well from what your saying its time to scrap it

if the compressor is running then that means any sensors have done their job so they cant cause this

you problem now is either a failed compressor or lack of refrigerant

if its lack of gas there must be a leak somewhere to lose and if its a compressor its going to cost and its not a DIY job

am afraid the quality of enginners is falling as we retire

am well past retiring age but just enjoy the job (and the income)

Tony posts a lot about these type of fridges so try send him a pm and see if he can help

as for the valves I would expect them to have an extenal solenoid which can fail

Dave

[electrofix]

well if it was child lock you would get more in the display

does sound like a board fault , have you inspected board for damage ?

boards are about £50 plus vat

I would get the board on the bench an power it up if you find no damage. if it does not come on then its likely to be faulty

Dave

[electrofix]

well done for finding that
