Re: Hotpoint Ariston Dishwasher electrical fault

I ready do get fed up with people being sold shoddy goods.

You could try this

Sale of Goods Act 1979. Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994. The Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002.
> Key Facts:
>
> . Wherever goods are bought they must “conform to contract”. This means they must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality (i.e. not inherently faulty at the time of sale).
> . Goods are of satisfactory quality if they reach the standard that a reasonable person would regard as satisfactory, taking into account the price and any description.
> . Aspects of quality include fitness for purpose, freedom from minor defects, appearance and finish, durability and safety.
> . It is the seller, not the manufacturer, who is responsible if goods do not conform to contract.
> . If goods do not conform to contract at the time of sale, purchasers can request their money back “within a reasonable time”. (This is not defined and will depend on circumstances)
> . For up to six years after purchase (five years from discovery in Scotland) purchasers can demand damages (which a court would equate to the cost of a repair or replacement).
> . A purchaser who is a consumer, i.e. is not buying in the course of a business, can alternatively request a repair or replacement.
> . If repair and replacement are not possible or too costly, then the consumer can seek a partial refund, if they have had some benefit from the good, or a full refund if the fault/s have meant they have enjoyed no benefit
> . In general, the onus is on all purchasers to prove the goods did not conform to contract (e.g. was inherently faulty) and should have reasonably lasted until this point in time (i.e. perishable goods do not last for six years).
> . If a consumer chooses to request a repair or replacement, then for the first six months after purchase it will be for the retailer to prove the goods did conform to contract (e.g. were not inherently faulty)
> . After six months and until the end of the six years, it is for the consumer to prove the lack of conformity.

If, under national legislation, the rights laid down in Article 3(2) are subject to a limitation period, that period shall not expire within a period of two years from the time of delivery.”

With the sales of goods act is the responsibility of the retailer.

I dont think 2 years is acceptable as a service life for a dishwasher.

Re: Whirlpool ADP 5962 F7 PCB Connector faulty can I solder

Ive tried maplins, no joy.

I did ponder about using conductive glue but that depends on the voltage as its only suitable for low voltage use.

Fixed It

Hi All,

Hope this helps others out there..

After some trawling on the web an dreading through this forum I thought Id have a go.

7 Flashes is the flow meter and it seems the main culprit is the connector on the water labyrinth, now at £82 for a new labyrinth (1/3 the cost of a new machine) I wasnt going to replace that but if it was the connector then Id have a go and save myself £350 on a new machine.

Firstly I turned off the power as always, next removed the lid, early Whirlpool machines had a lid that you would knock and lift but this one has two clips at the rear that once you pull back on the centre of the clip they rotate 90 degrees and the push the lid forwards and its off.

There are two screws under the lid a number on the rear near the bottom and the others on the front, 2 behind the plastic lower trim.

Once these were out the side panel can be removed revealing the labyrinth, at the bottom is the flow meter connection, on ours the connector is blue.

I removed the connector, removed the blue surround to the clip, this gives better access to the contacts and then used a fine screw driver to bend the contacts so as to get a better grip on the PCB.

Resembled the machine and switched on……woo hoo.. it works

Hope this helps

Regards

John
