Re: Tricity Bendix washing machine diagnostic
OK I will try and find a tutorial about replacing the heating element. I presume its behind some kind of panel at the back. I couldn’t see all the twiddles to put it into diagnostic and I suppose its a trade secret but I’m surprised its not available online by now but I cant find it. I managed to repair my PC monitor (faulty transistor and resistor) and get a schematic online but not how to put my washing machine into diagnostic. Anyway thanks for your suggestions.
Re: Tricity Bendix washing machine diagnostic
I bought the 1201 from John Lewis and they picked up the fault under the 2nd year of the warranty and sent out Service Force to do the repair here in Leeds.
The first time I noticed my towels washed at 60c were not usable as long and so the next time I washed them I felt the door glass at regular intervals as it should have been heating and it only just got warm even just before the end of the wash cycle where as normally it would be hot to the touch. When the engineer came out he put it into fault diagnostic and then replaced the heater/thermostat he said with the genuine part 1325347100.
Its now doing the same again after just over 12 months, so maybe I’m just unlucky.
Re: Tricity Bendix washing machine diagnostic
OK so forget that but do you know if these heater thermostat combination on this machine usually last just one or two years. My previous machine was a Creda and I had it for 12 years before the bearings went and that had no trouble with the thermostat presumably it was separate from the heater.
Re: Tricity Bendix washing machine diagnostic
Its heating but its not getting hot enough. I think its the thermostat. I have the old heater element and it is part of the the thermostat is on the heater element. I could replace it again at £25 but is this a part that only lasts a year or two and I was wondering if I could bypass the thermostat or wire in a separate thermostat.
