id check the pump itself, not just the filter
or it could be brushes in the motor
it’ll be one of em
then leave the door open, and put the book/heavy object on it then
will only take a couple of hours for the glue to go off
gotta be a pcb fault then, its at the back, next to the compressor
its usually the ntc, but its had one.. so
pcb!!
ne1 else agree?
did u mean the inner one or the outer one
the doors come off easily, btw
consult your manual if ur in any doubt
blocked pump?
wire off/faulty lock?
pcb ?
to be honest, the first thing they do is pump, and if its jammed, they wont start
as with any fault, we would always advise as a safety measure not to risk it
as jim says, f15 is contacts welded on pcb, so technically, the heater could be on the second its switched on, will remain on while the doors open, or anytime its on
yes there are safety devices in place to prevent damage, but for safetys sake, we’d always recommend leaving it till its repaired
sorry, but its probably for best
nope, because it runs a diagnostic before it starts
something faulty – whats the point?
have you actually checked the pump yet?
it isnt heating… if the heaters ok and the thermistors ok, the heater relay is fine, havent u answered your own question
what do you think operates the relay?
exactly
adam, exactly how many is ENOUGH? im sure its hundreds at the ripe old age of 17, what with your college work and stuff… uve obviously been in the ‘trade’ and fitted multitudes of kitchens, since you left school at ooh, 16?
maybe, just maybe, you might consider the fact that some of these guys have been fitting/installing/repairing these things for well over 30 years in some cases, so maybe you should bear that in mind when u try to start another one of your ‘constructive’ criticisms?
joiners arent electricians, and thats not saying your dad isnt good at what he does.. joiners cut wood.. they dont repair appliances
fitting a kitchen doesnt always give you an idea of the quality or lifespan of it, so please think on.. in some cases ‘flimsy’ or ‘cheap’ doesnt ALWAYS mean rubbish.. in fact most guys on here will tell you that a gas hob is usually reliable, regardless of price
ill say it again, and its a testament to the op, that people work to a budget, thats why they come here to ask… unfortunately, its not always an option to get top quality appliances, something has to give, and thats why they ask our advice

gee thanx k… u know i have problems expressing myself in written verse.. i think the points both u and penguin make are more than valid, its always a difficult one when people buy these things in their masses
incidentally, being a comet engineer, i can say that d&g are actually a good company to deal with (when , of course, you can actually speak to them direct) and yes its possible to ask for a different machine as a suitable replacement, and often they do, the only bind is of course the cost, if its more, you’ve got to pay the difference!
but what do we advise? bosch? miele?
suitable alternatives yet often more expensive
and in washer dryer?
well, bosch or miele of course, but zanussi machines arent so bad
knowing whats out there, its a difficult one to advise on, the only certain thing is not to buy ANY merloni based machine (ariston / indesit / hotpoint / creda )
sorry if i come across badly at times, but im only trying to help!
