no fault code is interesting
you may want to check for loose wires around the stator/sensor , and or pcb connections
pcb is the more likely culprit
shame about the price
Lucky Goldstarbeen doing it a while now, but they are going for it big time
more yet to come
but its not cheap, remember that.. people still like the personal touch

theyre built room sealed, they dont stop being that way
Well if part of the seal was missing then surely it would “stop being that way”
Just to fill in a bit more of the background to this, when the engineer (who was from nPower so I wouldn’t have thought he was a cowboy) removed the front cover of the boiler it wasn’t screwed on properly so it appears it has been tampered with by a previous occupant of the house, especially as the cover has been painted and would have to have been removed to do this. This was the first time I have had it serviced since buying the house.
As the engineer explained it the “room sealing” is acheived with a combination of the sealing strips and the front cover being properly secured to create the seal.
I’m not an expert obviously but this explanation seems plausible to me and he showed me the cover and where the sealing strip was missing. He also advised me to get another engineer to complete the work as it would be cheaper than getting nPower back out so I can’t see why he would deliberately being trying to mislead me.
Any other, helpful, thoughts?
ill say it again
get someone proper
a simple spillage test would have confirmed efficient roomsealing
if he wasnt sure, he should have classiffied it as at risk and isolated the appliance,and issued you with the correct paperwork
there are very strict procedures for these things, and safety is paramount…not room sealed = carbon monoxide leaks / improper combustion
im not making this up you know
room sealed?
lol, was he a proffessional?

-is the door locked? it may just be brushes
if the door is locked and the machine wont go, its usually the brushes
the one without the display is as good , less bells and whistles, and will outlast the hotopint 10 fold
as for the welded drums…..
cant always tell , untill you take the lid off and look
there are some bosch achines with welded drums
no, £99 and he will fix it, regardless of whats wrong with it?
the £160 is hotpoints attempt to scr3w you for more cash, thats all
id chuck it myself, get a bosch
i wondered why this had never happened before
its one of them blomberg things that leak behind the wetwall… they are r600 units
usually they just stop working before blowing up, and they have a board not a pcb
looking at the pic, the combustion started in the top right, just about where the gas leaks
interestingly a lot of thermostats/pcbs are on the outside of the cavity, and now we know why

Must stop being so synical. 😉at least we british dont have to rely on all our appliances being double insulated. can you imagine a fault on the european production line of something fitted with a europin plug and having live metal parts to touch… press would have a field day!
that answers a million questions
thank you
and u can buy a gun in moss side for £15
shoot yourself in the foot with that, itll be cheaper and less painful in the long term
u get what im sayin?
is the pump filter at the front of the machine, or is it at the rear?
if its at the front, then the drum will be the sealed type, and the bearings are non servicable
if theres a red blanking plug (under the kickstrip) then its a split tub and yes you can put bearings in it
my moneys on it being welded
hotpoint can only charge you £99 if its under 5 yrs old
pathetic isnt it? like buying the machine off them twice
welcome to the world of hotpoint
low failure rate of indesit fridges?
for a minute, i thought there was another comapny called indesit
are you for real
ff175… countless modifications, too numerous to mention, more technical bulletins than a fair size hard drive can hadle
same with the ff200x with the noisy fans, poor quality defrost heaters and faulty board
dont even get me started on the ffa52… please
countless more, but im not gonna start a public debate on that merloni nonsense, the info is plain for all to see on here, high water level is more than accurate in his appraisal
no , gandhi, ur a diffent kettle of fish… is it really wise to post that about the arcelik cookers? you clearly dont have a clue do you?
join the trade forum sunshine, ill take you on in there
ooh im on a roll arent i
gandhi.. surely your not calling repairmans proffessional ethics into question?
be careful who your pointing fingers at here
we as engineers now know what the customers next call will be
i suggest you take time to join the trade section, i think u need some finer points clarifying
the jobs hard enough
