Done and went with the first name on the link list and although he offered to call tomorrow 😀 , I went with the Monday option instead. Wish me luck

Ever the bringer of joy. 😆

Makes this Siemens WT46E384GB Sensor Condenser Tumble Dryerfor £379 ( after £50 trade in for taking my broken AEG) at John Lewis seem very attractive. I know what my DH will say.

Belt broken?

Well, I just set up a complete new automatic cycle, 135 minutes long. It buzzed a bit, as if sensoring how wet, then it does start to turn and then it stopped on 134 minutes. Pause/start button flashes and the Red light flashes for indicating Empty Water , but it is rigged up to a pipe where the water drains out.
So belt still functioning.

OMG the prospect of family washing on washing line over weekend in February 😯

It’s very possible.

SUCCESS. Decided to take a chance on a DIY repair and spend £25 on the part from the Whitegoods Spares page and HURRAY.
The water now gushes into all three compartments like the Niagra Falls.

Either water not getting into the chamber or the syphoning of the conditioner being restricted on its way out.
The AEG may also have a seperate valve to control the water inlet for the conditioner and from memory the design is comparatively complex.
If cleaning doesnt work it may be expensive to fix.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions of where to look. And so lucky it ended up being a cheap repair this time.

Fabric softener is to woman, what English breakfast, pizza, curry etc is to man.
We need some colesterol and can’t always do without. 😉

PHOTO NOW !!! Re: AEG 86741 Fabric softener problem> Part

So I thought we had it sorted. Photo below.
Machine fills really quickly via drawer compartment C on start-up, so I assume water pressure fine.
I always put liquid into a ball directly into drum, so compartment A isn’t often used.
But my diluted fabric softener has stayed in the drawer, compartment B, once again.

Martin wrote:Therefore it’s either : –

A) Clogged with limescale, needs stripping out and cleaning. Taken apart and ALL clear and clean

B) Poor water pressure, or water inlet valve filter blocked with debris needing cleaning. Water pressure seems fine and very strong when flowing in at start of cycle via compartment C

C) Dispenser cavity so scaled-up and in need of replacement. Sorry, which part is the dispenser cavity???

HTH? 😀 >>>> Helps a little, but not quite there
The whole chamber that the drawer sits in was removed and thoroughly cleaned by me, that is why we questioned the solenoid not opening the inlets at the correct amount, so perhaps low pressure into compartment B owing to defective solenoid????? Is that possible problem????

Re: What does this freezer sticker need to tell me???

Martin wrote:Basically, don’t stick something like a microwave oven on the top of it….I would think? 🙂

A big thanks for that suggestion.
So the cat basket on top of this small freezer,under the stairs, should be fine then. 🙂

Re: AEG 86741>> Fabric softener problem

Penguin45.

And the engineer came and diagnosed a leak in the motor.
What should we do??? Well, my hope and dream of a new kitchen and changing to silver appliances, has swayed our decision to buy a new appliance.
So i have a new toy.
Such a shame that a AEG Favorit 40850 dishwasher, no scratches, no dents, very clean, actually looks quite like new, has only one place to go. The refuse dump. Such a waste.
