Re: Hotpoint washing machine – Ultima WMD960
touch the door glass about 30 mins into a cotton cycle over 50* and it should feel “warm”…
Re: Bosch washer dryers – WVD24520gb/08 – bearing spare deta
right,
well machine is back here to base. looks like more grief than i thought. I had hoped i could work from the back, but there is next to no clearance to get a torx in for the upper RHS (if viewing from rear) bolts that sit neatly under the dryer fan box.
any seasoned pro tips? or is it a front off tub out and bugger about pita?

Re: Aqualtis won’t fill after clearing blockage from sump ho
hopefully you uplugged machine before working on it but if by chance you havent, take plug out from socket leave for an hour and then try. Hotpoints and indesits are funny things and sometimes get their knickers twisted.
Re: Amica AWE512L washing machine
heater open circuit, broken wires (very common as this is chinese) to heater or ntc sensor, pcb failure, or ntc sensor out of calibration. presuming its not the pressure switch as you say you are getting a whole wash, only that its cold. if it doesnt seem to fill high enough either then pressure switch also a possibility or the feed hose to it is obstructed by gunk…
Re: CDA WC140 IN Dishwasher
sounds like jammed circ motor or start cap failure tho? is the circ motor warm?
parts and cda pics look like vestel kit so lead time from cda shocking, try statesman (pikapak) to get the more generic parts quicker. connect are showing the module in stock too at under £40…
Re: Cookers double oven lower inner door glass.
that model uses a brandt/fagor/de dietrich fan element so id be sniffing about in that stable… 😀
PS: i might have a brandt dbl oven door i saved (knowing how much they are)
Re: Hoover OPH614-80
tim, presume the boards obviously naffed with blown tracks but if not, if its relevant recently seen lots of 6kg OPH’s this year, couple with motor terminal block dis-connections and a few with heater elements not going o/c but leaking to earth. In both cases, not giving the right error/failure code, a la zanussis.
Re: A return of the BAD old days
been lucky so far. but have noticed recently hotpoint beko and smeg OEM elements have different suppliers to there usual respective ones. always worth using the EGO or irca patterns if they are available. Trialling Qtx’s new EGO pattern brittania elements at the mo to see how they fair, would have been a money spinner but bit late in the day as since GDHA have bagged them all of a sudden britannia spares are 2/3rds the price they used to be lol.
Re: Bosch washer dryers – WVD24520gb/08 – bearing spare deta
i figured the bearings themselves will be fairly standard and probably have some on the shelf somewhere, but its always finding the right seal that causes me issues and delays things and unfortunately this needs to be a pretty fast turnaround job as the machine is being sold with the house and needs to be quiet by end of next week 🙁
Id happily just order the cross but it makes it almost BER, and the cust said hed rather give the buyer £250 towards a new machine if it was gonna be almost that to repair. I can cut my losses, but then i lose out on £90 for 2hrs work, and cant really afford to turn work like that away

The terminal blocks are ceramic so wont melt so maybe switching the hob side wires into 1 hole may have been an option.had considered this but it occurred to me as its a budget hob that there must have been a reason for it to be a 5-block and not a 3 and erring on caution’s side that a single connection might not take the full 6kw load
Re: montpellier hobs
just an update… repairtech. bwah.
they sent me 2x brass bridges (which was useful) but there were no terminal blocks held in stock (which was bloody useless). and were none on order. i suggested to the poor girl on the phone that there may be a batch issue problem (my hob was from the twinpak oven+hob, not just a ct4 on its own) and i got a phone call from her manager 30 mins later saying all worthwhile electrical installers should have these parts in their toolbox as a spare anyway and inferred if they hadnt, then they shouldnt be wiring up the hobs. espesh as tho on their notes i had queried the wiring, apparantly any electrician would have worked the bridging arrangement as definite and not questioned it, but because it was logged i had queried it and not just assumed the wiring situation i had shown a lack of compitance. *annoyed*. so maybe its a fair comment if the parts they were using were std electrical components were like any of the other major brands’ kit. but the hob is from china and the term. block is nothing like any of the other euro/turk kit out there.
So dont bother with spares, and the aftersales attitude is so disattractive i dont htink ill both with montp kit again.
Re: lg f1256qd (chinese model) not spinning-just judders
sorry for late reply. if its the pcb then obvs not warranty job, if one of the staor coils have gone down then ovbs its under 10yr guarantee, right?
so other than general checks such as continuity, earth leakage is there any other tests that can be performed on the staor, prior to paying LG’s labour callout to only be told that the machine needs a new pcb…
I ask this because we went out to the “missus’s” machine (on the same day of the call that it wasnt working, i add), pikey husband got stroppy because we couldnt fix it there and then (with the stator sensor) and bought her new bosch next day, telling us on the monday not to bother coming backbecause they had ordered a new one. when we asked for the callout fee we were told he wouldnt pay the charge but we could have the old lg if we picked it up before new machine arrived. obvs we had a £16 part sitting on it already so we grabbed it, hence wanting some tech advice on best way to sort it so we arent left out of pocket too badly
