heater down to earth? pcb fault more likley

[helo_75]

model number?

[helo_75]

no, u initially said it was a wm.. the motor on a wm machine is at the top, thats why jim thought u was out on your age of your machine @ 4 yrs

on the wma, its at the bottom, and requires different brushes

cue one of the guys to give you the right part number

[helo_75]

itll need a new pcb, and an eprom as well

but

first id try taking off the front pcb and refitting it properly (sometimes they become dislodged and the buttons jam)

PLUG OUT of course.. worth a try first off, if it doesnt work , it will need a main pcb and eprom

hth

[helo_75]

later models have a bitron door lock, and the relays part of the lock

[helo_75]

i dont use mine either, test programs mean nothing

[helo_75]

summink else too

what happens when the customer wants to add more comfort durin the wash?

stupid machine, nice easy fix, puttin them paddles in.. but once a week, its embarrassing

similar to a miele? peter kay should use that when hes on stage

[helo_75]

in order, 1st light being 1 , second being 2… which lights are flashing, ie 1 and 3 etc, ignore the lock light

probably pcb, normally is

[helo_75]

good call penguin.. thats the answer, other than that, put the hook/eye athe bottom, and if you tilt the machine back, and you can get at it

pig of a job, and the tool was listed at summink stupid like £118 + v.a.t

[helo_75]

incorrect

dont make sweeping statements you cant back up

there are modifications to cure this fault

you’ve never detailed the problems youve had…. try asking the question before making outlandish, ridiculous, sweeping statements

[helo_75]

a MILLION other people?

your defrost heaters faulty, use ur head, if uve been reading properly, instead of jumping the gun, you’d have read that

not the easiest of jobs, not available as a spare part, comes as part of the evaporator, which also includes the sensor and thermal fuse, all of which should be changed at the same time (the heater does come off the evaporator with a bit of effort)

more than likeley available as a spare part from uk whitegoods online store, certainly r600 can supply u with one

hope this helps

[helo_75]

ive always said we’re in the wrong job

another typical example of people taking advantage of the elderly

i notice that whitegoods engineers are nothing like that, and try and be fair at all times, just goes to show how much of an undervalued trade we are in

[helo_75]

lpg stats and ffds?

hows that work then?

does the ffd open the valve different or something? or does the thrmostat knock off at some different temp?

cant see that being the case

all ths lpg conversions ive seen (and incidentally, i changed a bosch one back from lpg to natural gas) just involve changing the injectors, nothing more

since ffd/thermostats are only reactive to heat, the gas pressure is not an issue, is it not?

although, quite often, when u look on partfinder, it does say that the model cannot be converted to lpg, whether thats because they dont want to supply the injectors, im not sure

im sure someone will come and try and contradict me……

cue kiddo

[helo_75]

you could always try looking at the ratings sticker on the cleaner, rather than the floor head?

[helo_75]

since when did logic come into anythign these days adam?

it isnt unusual for any manufacturer to source parts from other available outlets if things become in short supply.. its only a matter of putting it in the box isnt it?

honestly
