Re: No more ASKO?

Thanks for all the replies……
Just to confirm:-
Belt removed, door open & drum turned by hand, still squeaks….
No conventional door seal on an Asko – its mounted to the door.

Unfortunately, the “local” ISE engineer seemed a little unwilling to get involved. Something about not having done such a job before – & would have to consult the ” drawings” when back home.
Heard nothing since.
Have tried two other companies, (one fairly near to me in Peterborough,) who have Asko listed on their websites. When they heard the word “bearings” neither wanted to get involved.

So….I’ll probably leave it to get worse, scrap the machine in the New Year & despite my misgivings, invest in a basic Miele washer.
At least I’ll have some backup – albeit at a high price.

It’s taught me a valuable lesson though…..
Investing in a machine built to last many years is fine – if only the support is there when things go wrong.
Once again, thanks for replies…..

Re: Hotpoint TDC62 Condenser drier – Erratic heat/drying

Had the same problem on my TDC60P earlier this year.
I’m not sure how the TDC60 differs from the TDC62 but for what its worth this is my story……..

I replaced all three thermostats but the problem remained.

A sharp knock to the right hand side of the machine sometimes caused the heat light to illuminate but it usually dropped out within a few minutes.

I suspected either a loose connection or a bad heater relay on the pcb.
Having disassembled & reassembled all the connections to the pcb the problem still persisted.

I suspected that the heater relay on the pcb was “dropping out”; possibly as a result of a dry solder joint on the board.
The relay in question is a 16amp contact device & can easily be identified by the 16 amp rating marked on it’s body.

I purchased a replacement Schrack 16amp relay from Farnell (of the same type as fitted to the board,) but prior to fitting this I decided to re-solder the existing relay pins on the pcb.

Hey Presto! This finally cured the fault – so probably a dry joint.
As of today I’ve had no further problems with the machine.

Hope this tale is of some use.

Re: Hotpoint Ultima TDC60P – Intermittent Heat Problem

Many thanks for your reply Jim.

I’ll change the front ‘stat to begin with & see if that solves the problem.
