Re: Miele T5206 Dryer
Hi
Heat contactors and the usual stopping it mid drying cycle before the final cool down period. Impatient people 😆Greg
Re: Word Count
Hi
brief electrical safety guidelines
should be basic not brief
The dishwasher is basically telling you that it has detected a problem of some kind and that, without a resolution, it cannot continue with the program. Very often this sort of error will result in the dishwasher being totally inoperative and it will not accept a program at all.
Without knowing what to check and what the error being displayed is it is virtually impossible to offer any sort of guidance as the codes vary, not just between various brand names, but even from model to model.
Dishwasher noisy
When reported this fault will depend on several factors, the main ones being what sort of noise, when in the program and what machine it actually is. So there are many variables here.
However, things to check would be:
• Spray arms or mounts faulty
• Main recirculation motor
• Drain pump faulty
• Drain pump jammed or object trapped
• Object in main recirculation impeller housingDishwasher won’t drain or empty
Yet again this can vary from machine to machine but, in general, it will signify a fault with either the pump or the house plumbing. The reason that it can vary is that some dishwashers use the recirculation motor in reverse to drain the tank, so it can mean that the main motor is faulty and that there actually isn’t a drain pump fitted at all essentially as a cost-cutting method in our opinion.
• Drain pump faulty
• Drain pump jammed or object trapped
• Object in main recirculation impeller housing
• Main recirculation motorDishwasher won’t wash
We get this fault reported as shown in the question but it can often signify a number of possible failures.
What we often find is that what is actually meant is that the spray arms are not turning or are not turning well enough to really do much of anything. Of course this can be caused by many things, lots of which are very much dependent on both the make and model of the dishwasher.
The most common, on machines where there is a capacitor for the motor, will mean that the capacitor is faulty and the motor is running weak or slow.
Another possible cause is that the “C-tube” has split internally on machines where that is used. This is the “C” shaped water delivery tube that feeds the upper and lower spray arms on some models, when it splits there is a loss of pressure to the spray arms and therefore you get a drop in spray pressure and the dishes are not washed correctly. The same effect can be seen by the spray arm housings splitting on some models.
However, probably the most common cause of this is the main recirculation motor with either the capacitor faulty, the main pump impeller jammed or broken up as most of them are made from plastic or the main motor itself being faulty.
• Spray arms blocked
• Pressure loss
• “C-Tube” split
• Motor capacitor faulty
• Main recirculation motor impeller jammed or fault
• Main recirculation motor faultyPoor wash results from the dishwasher
First thing to be doing if you have poor wash results is to look at the filters and also the spray arms, there is an article devoted to the subject that you can… Whole type has hyper link to the search facility, is that correct?
• Correct detergent use (overfoaming)
should be Incorrect ?

Re: Football
Still don’t stop em spitting 😆
In all seriousness, a well deserved win for the Reds 😉 😀 :tup:

Re: Football
Q: Did you hear that the British Post Office has just recalled their latest stamps?
A: Well, they had photos of Manchester United players on them – folk couldn’t figure out which side to spit on.Greg 😆
Re: Football
Jim take the win and STFU 😆
For the record
1. Was not a red card
2. Shudda scored last goal and been 2-1 😉 8)
3. Oh and we didnt have our 1st team as per Utd a few weeks ago, so 10 men down pretty even in my eyes 😀Re: Word Count
1/Please bear in mind that a gas soundness safety……… Is now called a Tightness Test 😉
2/If you are even vaguely hesitant about gas and cannot do a drop test DO NOT INTERFERE WITH IT!
Not neededGreg
Re: Novice seeks reliable dishwasher
I would go for Bosch or Siemens. They will give you value for money.
The Bosch comes with a 2 year guarantee and the some of the Siemens have a 5 year guarantee.Greg
Re: Word Count
Looks good to go to me.
Looking forward to the Great Welsh JD Debate 😆
I will keep you lubricated 😯
Re: Bosch WFB2004/16 FD7711 Not spinning
Hi
Its not the end of the world, don’t panic. 😀
Easiest way as there is no spare for loom or motor plug is to individually spade the motor connectors. Making sure that every other is an insulated spade and make a note of wiring sequence beforehand.Unplug appliance if you are to attempt yourself :plug:

Re: Ikea DWF B10W Constant Bleeping and Flashing Start Light
Hi
Its a Whirlpool in a skirt 😀
Start lamp constant flashing usually means NTC fault.
Check base for water 😕Greg
Re: MIELE T5206 DRIER
Hi
Worth a try is to clean the paddle sensors as you can get a film build up from the softner and human grease 😯 causing incorrect resistence readings back to PCB.
Also the drop in filter gets blocked with similar deposits, quick test is to run it under tap and if allows water through is fine.
Dry it fully obviously before using again 😀
Under loading aswell, ie a couple of smalls will probably not be enough for a true reading between paddles and drum, thus causing premature switch off.Greg
