Re: Heeeeyelp Bosch sgv46m03gb problems

Well looks like I have managed to repair the washer. Stripped it down by removing the front door to access 2 x screws under the door which enabled me to get to the 2 x side panels. On the LHS of the machine was the water matrix and the RHS a pipe. I ran a 30 min cycle with the panels off to watch for leaks and what the water matrix did. There was a bit of debrie around the none return valve and overflow return matrix. This seemed to slow the action of the valve and prevented the return of the overflow water back into the machine. So I remove the matrix and gave it a good clean out. Refitted and watched a full cycle run with the sides off.
Water flowed round the matrix and any that got passed the valve was redirected back into the machine 😀 .

So far its ran 5 cycles without a hicup where it failed before running just 2 cycles. Fingers crossed I its now sorted 😉 .

I have taken a pic of the water matrix before I cleaned it out if anyone is interested I will post it up.

Cheers

Re: Indesit WAX120 sticks on same cycle

Whey Hey its works 😀

I let the sealent dry overnight and ran a empty drum cycle and all went well. Lobbed part of the mountain of washing in and ran a 40deg cycle and that worked, then a 60deg cycle and all is running smoothly though the pump is sounding like it has a few ball bearings running around in side of it when it first starts up.

Many many thanks to all your advice saved myself a few hundred quid signing up to this forum 🙂

Cheers

Re: Indesit WAX120 sticks on same cycle

Luckly I had tightened the nut :). So sorry I miss informed you the water wasnt coming out of the element but from the NTC. So its ok to use a little sealant on the NTC and it would be good to hold for the rest of the washers life?.

After removing the element I did actually realise that maybe that wasnt the best move to make 😳

Re: Indesit WAX120 sticks on same cycle

Me again 🙂

Soldered the PCB, put it all back together, ran it on a cycle only to watch water piss out all over the floor from the element and NTC.

So do I need some sealent of some sort to stop it from leaking? will general bathroom sealent do or is there some secret stuff I need to know about?

Re: Indesit WAX120 sticks on same cycle

Checked wiring loom and connections all ok. Popped open the plastic cover to find a slight charring on the inside cover. Checked over the PCB to find a charred dry joint on the underside of the PCB which connects relay RL1 to power connector. My intention today is to clean up the pad and resolder it. Lob it back in and test her out.

If all fails then its either a new PCB as a charred pcb could indicate more than one problem which could of knocked out a number of devices. Or look for a replacement washing machine.

Just in case my soldering fails does anyone know where I can get hold of a PCB for the WAX120 and how much it would cost?

Data on PCB WR@P 0020.5 LB2000 UNI-ST

Re: Indesit WAX120 sticks on same cycle

Right next step done

Drum is indeed a plastic item but once I found, removed and checked the element the resistance is 30.8Ω. Though it is covered in white gloop which I beleive to be old soggy soap power mixed with a touch of limescale.

I notice there is a Indesit Washing Machine Thermistor/NTC could it be this at fault? If so how do I check if its faulty?

Re: Indesit WAX120 sticks on same cycle

Hi Jim

No flashing lights other than when u first turn it on. On power on I see 3 normal flashes followed by I think 3 fast flashes followed by normal flashes until u select a cycle. I will check out what type she is tomorrow as kids have been in house all day due to the rain and wanted my attention all day.

Oh yeah discovered Cycle 8 will run if cold water setting is selected on the temp. Also had chance to check the water supplies and they are all ok and not blocked.

Many thanks for the links and info

Re: Indesit WAX120 sticks on same cycle

Didnt get chance to rip the old girl apart last night as replacing my brake discs and pads on my car. Hopefully will attempt it today but I have a few more observations.

I followed the instructions about reseting the dial and noticed that each time I set the dial to a diffeent cycle 5,6,7 and 8 it never completed the cycle and never moved onto the next cycle. But reset and move the dial onto the rinse cycle it completed the last 4 cycles (rinse, condition, rinse and spin) in normal time. Is this because the water is not required to be heated? If so it would explain why the cycles on the temperature setting cycles 5,6,7 and 8 didnt advance because the water isnt reaching the required temp? From this I assume it to be the element thats at fault? What reading should I be looking at for a good and duff element?

I am assuming a low resistance for a good element, and a open circuit for a duff element?

Re: Indesit WAX120 sticks on same cycle

Cheers guys I will have a check tomorrow after work. Dont worry I am pretty handy with those electickery thingys.
