Re: Indesit WD12 – drying not working (no heat?)
Is there a good easy way to check the condenser? The thermal fuse has indeed gone.
Re: Bosch SKT5002 – still working but noisy
I have come to the conclusion without removing anything that the motor may have seized, but reading about this and similar models, it is always possible of course that the impellor has failed as Penguin45 suggested.
If the motor is running and the impellor has failed, should I be able to tell from outside the case? If not, I am prepared to strip the machine at my leisure but it will have to take second place to the washer-dryer investigation.
Re: Bosch SKT5002 – still working but noisy
It recovered after the failing to drain, and ran at least one more wash. However, it is no longer moving any water.
Is it worth repairing? If not, I suppose I will have to get its nearest equivalent.
Re: Bosch SKT5002 – still working but noisy
It appears that the machine has failed to drain properly after its last use.

Do not use tablets or those Fairy pouches: they over-foam far too much for small table-top machines, and they are designed for full-size machines.
I have only used those in early washes, because some came with it.
Use a powder detergent, or a liquid detergent such as ‘Finish’ Liquid/Gel, or ‘Sun’ powder or liquid, if you can find it. Don’t overfill the little detergent dispenser.
I recently tried Finish Liquid again, after years of trying tablets in my full-size Bosch. I did notice a faint whistling whine at certain stages of the wash cycle.
I use a liquid – Carrefour’s, as it happens.
The noise is now worse than it used to be… quite a “grind” to it, and happening at various points in the wash. I’ve had this machine from new and am used to the noise it makes – but these are extra, unusual noises.
