    Re: MIELE W360 failure to turn on problem!!

    Nooooo most annoyed as its not anywhere to be seen so i cant even check that connections are on the terminals the right way round. Im 99.9{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} sure but its funny how doubt creeps into your mind when things dont follow a conventional path 😛

    Iadom is right. Remember DIY wm bearing replacements are never as good a job as a factory assembled one as there will always be wear across the complete running gear, no matter how small, and will always shorten the life of any new part thats then fitted. It might be a cheaper short term shortcut, but if you can do it under the 5yr parts warranty do that as you will almost certainly have a whole new drum unit plopped in as hp engineers are busy people and under pressure to sort the callouts as quick as possible. You also then get a years warranty on the workmanship too. Depending on the level of wear you can end up finding ground out stats and elements have the potential to be be damaged too. The little things then all add up and you find its nearly cost you £100 in parts :s

    front panel just pops out and the switch slides down off a clip. i didnt unclip anything else other than the terminals on the switch pcb as there was just enough slack in the wiring to play with it but i guess its feasible one of the fascia pcb connections might have gotten strained even though i was gentle. hmm…

    Re: indesit w103

    All i would say is before calling an engineer out is as its an indesit that has made it past 5 years, the machine really needs checking for play between the inner and outer drums before committing to any callout or repair. You may end up spending £70 on a call out and a £20 pump to find the bearings then give up 3 months down the road in which case you would be gutted.
