Re: How many water valves can be stripped down these days?
The coils will normally just pop off, but every manufactuer seems to have a different plug arrangement on the coil 😕
Re: A laugh for you all.
I’ve been waiting 9 months for a Kenwood D/W module.
Something tells me it’s not comming 🙁
Edit: The only thing worse than that d/w is the d/w customer :rolls:

I’d recommend a friend/relative/neighbour/laundrette. Save up £300+ and buy a quality machine.
Once someone is in the vicous cycle of cheap desposable machines, it’s hard to break the cycle. Buy cheap, it breaks, it’s beyond economical repair, buy cheap, it breaks, it’s beyond economical repair, buy cheap, it breaks, it’s beyond economical repair. Break the cycle 8)
Re: Buying a washer without transit bolts
That means the tub will rock around in the cabinet during transport.
The tub is the tank that houses the inner drum. The motor will be attached to it, as will multiple water hoses, electrical wiring and concrete blocks. This tub is on suspension for when the machine is spinning at high speeds. If the tub jumps around on it’s suspension too much during transport, it could smash/damage other components.
One solution is to enter the machine (power off of course) though the top or bottom, and wedge the drum with towels/polystrene, anything soft. But you need to be carefull with all the hoses and wires.

Re: Siemens vs Hoover
He/She also the customer that they would have to pay for Siemens’ 5 year guarantee, and that Hoover aftercare-service is better than Siemens’!
Hmmmmmmmmmmm 😕
Re: Bearing change
It was one of the first machines we put out, so it will be about a year old?
And yeah, he replaced the spider 😀
As you can see from the picture, the area around the seal was cleanish, but I’ll ask GB senior tomorrow if he spotted anything else.
Re: Bearing change
He’s just also told me that he removed the top weight, but left the front weight and motor on. Then he disclosed that he couldn’t lift the tub off the springs with that weight on. Derrrrr! So he laid the machine over to removed the tub 8)
ie. Two man job to lift the tub with the front weight on.
