Re: Bendix AW1002W fault code
yeah that is e43.
first thing is to check filter sump and pump for blockages. also inspect pecker-tolock for proper engagement
if clear, assume interlock and probable board failure, always check board before ordering an interlock, unless you have the right one handy. saves a lot of hassle.
if filter is obstructed, clear out, and check p/s tube too. clear e43 error code from diagnostics and restart diagnostic test.
if you get e43 again, interlock and check pcb…
Re: John Lewis JLWM1200 vs Zanussi ZWF12070W
zanussi’s customer service must absolutely hate me, the good thing is they basically get sacked if they hang up on a call, so i never end the call until ive got at least a free inspection out of them…
Re: reconise this
dont tell me… its a 70/30 split?!
my bet is its a matsui or something like that from one of the sheds its got a chinese plant style of serial number so id see if a b/i fridgemaster shelf fits.
easiest thing to do is take one you have over to currys or somewhere that stocks them to find out if it matches up…
Re: zanussi zwf1632w washer wont move on to next step in pro
sorry forgot, too ussed to doing it on zwf1221’s just press the button 10 times
Re: zanussi zwf1632w washer wont move on to next step in pro
scott, the flashing lights are the error codes, its implying a motor fault, and being 1600 spin and manufacturered in 2006/7 id of said carbons, but as you have only had it for 2 years, it wouldnt normally ramp up to full spin on diagnostics if that was the case. it might be worth checking motor’s plug connection too.
always plug out first before inspection
where is the machine kept, indoors in warm? garage? damp utility room…?
my first port of call on any zanussi, regardless of fault, is the fluff filter and sump hose to pump, below the drum. a blocked filter causes the senstive electronics to get into a right tiswas, and can give out spurious errors so its always important to make sure the basics are sorted – check for clear drainage, and make sure you have water going in.
. if there is anything in the sump/pump/filter, you need to access diagnostics again, turn dial to position 10, where the start/end leds flash and then clear it by holding the start/pause and skip buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds to clear the error code. then turn off turn on turn off and turn on then off again. then restart diagnostic routine from scratch, giving each click (except first all-led one) 2 minutes to allow for full checking.

Overloading? Doubt it,…..Non-stop use more likely…..also, slow/restricted drain-out causes a strain on the motor anyway…….finally, old age lifespan issues. The trick is deciding which of those primary probs is YOUR prob? In my experience non-stop useage in almost all cases is the reason, but your customer will never admit to that, no way! :rolls:yeh id go with that, i only ask because the machines sides resembled the birthscenes of the aliens from aliens,2,3,avp etc. so obviously been overloaded in the past. No waste issues – standpipe that goes straight outside. Would agree with high usage, but thing is the carbons were not well worn, – they only about 1/4 length, and the machines fd was 86, so 4 years… and this is the first time anyones been out to it. It is another john lewis jobby though, and last 3 fuse failures were JL machines. if that has any bearing on it???
lastly, are there any other forms of current filtering or control that are used in other models, which this may have had omitted or, could it be power spiking during use that has done the damage. in this customers case the pcb on the boiler went wrong that week, along with something else, TV i think iirc
Re: zanussi zwf1632w washer wont move on to next step in pro
step 1 should be led check, step 2, 3 and 4 are solenoids, and 5 should be the nothing happens one.
if you know how to use diagnostics, you should have access to the error code listings and how to read (and interpret – !?!) them, if not then you need to sign up for trade access as this info is not normally distributed in the public forums for H&S and liability reasons…
and which pcb did you check out of interest???
Re: bosch with the siemens motors where the t/o/c pops
ahh that makes sense. so would regular overloading cause this, thanks to the increased effort required to turn a heavier than designed for drum ?
(i think you can see where my get-out is coming from)
Re: Indesit IWC6145S Tank disintegrated !!!!!!!
im currently in process of looking up and contacting the handful of customers who bought the hotpoint models (dont stock the indesit ones) to check their machines f.o.c. and to avise if necessary, would urge all the other retailers on here to also do the same thanks to good old retail law making the retailer liable by stocking it.
Re: new panasonic washing machine
like your sense of humour to have the “please clean your hands” sign in the background…
if it makes you feel any better my lucks not been with me either, in the space of a week ive found myself getting zapped 4 times… and one of the times was in the backside – ud think id of learnt by now…
Re: fixing bolts for bhwm129/bhwd129
🙁
good news is i took a 30+ year old creda d/o thingy with lots of bolts in it. beforeself tappers were used. lots of the trim seems to use same bolts… in the meantime if anyone knows…
Re: Hotpoint WM51A spin speed
besides you might need new laminate carbons to cope with the increased friction heat
maybe im getting my knickers twisted but the hp boys will say if im wrong with that, anyways either way WASTE OF TIME EFFORT AND MONEY!
spend it on a decent pint and chillax time 😀
Re: Hotpoint WM51A spin speed
constructive comments are the ones being posted here right now.
What you have to remember is you are in the public domain and no matter how competent you feel you are with what you are asking about, no one on here will dare risk losing ukwg because some numpty tightwad has seen your post and thought, hey, rather than me buy a new machine that does 1200 ill play with my 800 and get it to go fast, and kills themseves or a family memeber in the process. then because it can be traced to ukwg, they will sue the pants of ken etc.
the only way to find out is verbally from someone in the know. yes we ARE in such a litigous society now. and your tone of posting certainly wont warm the other engineers on here to you.
besides, 800rpm is plenty for the kinds of things your washing, just leave it on the line a bit longer. or pick up a noisy hp t/d off ebay for a few quid and stick a bearing kit and belt on it. both options are far safer and will get your rags much dryer than the increase in spin speed which probably equates to about 8-10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} more moisture removal.
