    Re: Hotpoint DWF34

    iirc these used the same module design that bosch have been replacing under their recall. But what hotpoint have been doing is just replacing the whole appliance rather than pcb. Weve come across numerous bsh built hotpoint branded dws with majorly burnt out modules in past which until we knew about the bsh recall had just been writing off as BER (thankfully not just repairing the pcb). Since the bsh recall weve been advising customers to contact hotpoint quoting the BSH SGS code as well as the hotpoint ones and we know of at least 3 complete replacements that have taken place down here

    Re: LG F1443KD6 11kg won’t spin

    lg had known issues with 1443kd’s, we just had to replace one because cust was fed up with their cust service. They just assumed the poor spin performance that degraded over time was their fault in Yr3, but turns out lg were replacing modules with revised designs on the stealth, but as their machine only exhibited continual major spin issues end of yr4 they wouldnt touch it

    oh right i see, this beast has been turned off for quite few hours in between attempts, and its got one of the askoll ecodrive bldc motors

    cheers for correcting me martin, i was going to edit that but was in between posts 😉

    and mark, your probably doing all the o/c ones 🙂

    Re: Selector Problem With Beko WM 7127 S

    bust knob /knob pin? you would need to strip fascia panel down and remove the display/control pcb, very fiddly and very easy to break the plastic lugs that hold everything in place. For obvious reasons unplug before unscrewing anything. possible the potentiometer that the pin fits in which is part of the pcb has worn/been damaged if they are ok, which is a bit more expensive.

    Re: Bosch dish heater Do they match

    actual heater element failures are pretty rare on those, most of the time when we replace teh element its due to the diverter motor or seals leaking. almost all heater issues are pcb faults – failed relays, blown triacs or dry joints. I think weve replaced 3 bsh elements for o/c over the last 10 years and theres a hell of a lot of them round here!

    difference between both units is one youd need has the turbidity sensor, and one you have doesnt have it, you can unclip the element from the housing and just swap that out if it has gone o/c its a bit fiddly but if it gets the job done…

    PS take some solder and a soldering iron with you 😉

    Re: Whirlpool/Zanussi ACC/Sole Motors Hot 22mins into wash c

    yeah grndal, been out to this 3 times and couldnt find a fault so done all those basic checks, even pinching up the fem tags & zip-tying the motor terminal block together. Ended up bringing it back for further investigation, so as we had a quite afternoon booking wise today, we been playing about with it, and discovered the weirdness that, “from cold” the machine will only work for 22mins (real time) before going into a spaz.

    as mentioned before, if you let the motor partially cool down (say for 20-30 mins) you get normal operation but for only about 10 mins (real time). Start it up straight away after F06ing and it will just spaz out immediately, and F06. Its got to be some form of resistance/heat issue. If it was a loose wire, or terminal block it would be more spurrious and random.

    Cant find a spares listing for the tacho coil, does anyone know the part no for this model, or are they all the same for sole/acc motors, in which case I can use teh (probably cheaper) zanussi one. Still doesnt explain the “hot” motor symptom tho…

    Re: Whirlpool/Zanussi ACC/Sole Motors Hot 22mins into wash c

    just restarted the rinse and spin without the extra rinse, and it managed another (display length) 18 mins (real-time not sure) before slowing (5m left to go) and then sort of picking up for 1/2 second and thenslowing and then picking up again, bit like when a car is running out of fuel…?

    Im still usure where the excess heat is coming from, and why its occuring. I cant quite work out how the tacho could be at fault when the magnet is still nice and tight on the pinion and receiver is still snugly in its housing, the F06 must be a symptom of something else, being flagged up due to the odd motor behaviour, which in turn seems to occur after it reaches a certain temperature…!!!!

    Re: Whirlpool/Zanussi ACC/Sole Motors Hot 22mins into wash c

    ok well just put the test load in for a rinse and spin after letting motor get down to cold again and it got thru 18 mins(display) into a 33 min rinse and spin prog before whizz/pausing again, (although real-time duration was actually 22 mins again)

    i get a piece of kitcen roll or a small cloth. wet it, but not dripping, and carefully place it on the brush gear touching both brushes. that way machine thinks its full of wet clothes

    very good tip dave, never thought of that 🙂

    did that girl on the phone couldnt find the part i was looking for so was going to get the retired engineer there to call me with tech advice

    Re: Whirlpool/Zanussi ACC/Sole Motors Hot 22mins into wash c

    well its attached to the pinion, not really sure what else to check???

    in fact after it abort f:06 this afternoon i tried it straight away and got the whizz/pause immediately, regardless of program. Anyway, allowed it to rest for an hour, not touched anything but started it up and its started as normal, and then aborted again with a whizz/pause x5 after 12 minutes. try immediately again a restart and it wont go, left it to cool for another half hour and its behaving again. Its definitely seems heat-related in the motor as each time the motor heats up and cools to normal

    Re: miele t293 / t294

    yeh we thought same thing, cust didnt want to spend out on the relay pcb, and we were hesistant as all 3 relays seemed to have same resistance values across the coils, didnt realise it was voltage that needed to be checked tho, anyway, we attempted to replace them but we couldnt get them to desolder with a std soldering iron!

    also, we were testin on the timed dry setting, is it necessary to have wet clothes in it for timed stting too ?

    PS cust has disposed of this and replaced with an indesit vented, so further repair impossible (*the doorknob wouldnt even offer to give us the miele to play with, even though it had a brand new ntc on rear) but im stillinterested for future reference

    Re: Indesit IWD7145s not progressing through cycle

    its an indesit, if the electronics worked properly, half of them with this kind of issue wouldnt have been scrapped…
