NTC ON DRYER?

thats the usual culprit!

[helo_75]

if its a later board, then you cant fit an eprom.. itll have a blank one installed…. there WILL have been a big sticker on the box warning you to program it using a smart card

for me, id contact tony at http://www.emwelec.co.uk/

he will be very helpful.. he could program the board youve got, or he could send you an exchange pcb overnight

unless your prepared to spend £60+vat for a reader and £20 +vat for a card, you dont really have another option im afraid

sorry

[helo_75]

yes the Affresh will help
BUT
it wont be an immediate solution, you may need to do it a couple of times

and dont bother with calgon it simply doesnt work

[helo_75]

why would you think that reversing the polarity would make the fan run backwards?

anyway, have you taken the condenser off and checked its not blocked

try a new fan motor, they do fail quite often

[helo_75]

to stop kids playing with it while its on a programme, thats all

[helo_75]

didnt they bother to tell you that the board doesnt actually come programmed.. if they didnt thats more than a little naughty

[helo_75]

ahem……

did you program it with a smart card or eprom?

i bet you didnt

[helo_75]

where did yu get the pcb from?

[helo_75]

grrr, 2 threads isnt good

its not sensing the ntc.. which is the temperature sensor on the rear of the tub

it might be worth chicking the connections on the pcb/ntc

keep it to one post please, it avoids confusion

[helo_75]

yep. comet will supply you one

iv not got my laptop to hand, ill grab u part numbers later

[helo_75]

id have thought that it wouldnt invalidate the warranty, as more likely not covered under warranty and chargeable

incidentally ive had a few of these doing strange things, and its been a blocked pump

[helo_75]

didnt think it would take long….

its good to know theres a cross section of the trade in here, helps create a good understanding. ive found the trade section invaluable

[helo_75]

and some good points there kwatt

i have to say ive been massively dissapointed with the quality of the recent zanussi machines… is it a blip? who knows, only time will tell.. seems the welded tubs wont go away though

i only tell people to go for the more expensive bosch stuff now, the amount of handles ive fitted on the cheaper models is quite unbelievable

I NEVER recommend a fridge freezer now, i just dont see how many are any good, i always say steer clear of the hoptoint/indesit badged stuff..absolutely amazes me how many people will buy these things cos they can get 6 cans of coke in the handy door rack…. the electronics are plainly pants

if a customer has a vague idea, theyll be aware of liebherr anyway, and would genetrally already have one

jobs getting harder , but people still buy the haier stuff en masse and continue to whinge about it

always makes me chuckle

i do wonder where it will all be in 2 years

Reading betwen the lines do you by any chance work for one of the big “C`s” as the insurance part of your post seems all to familiar 😉 .

For my sins yes. Hope you can understand I don’t want to say which one as i don’t want anything coming back on me.
I know straight away by admiting to where abouts I work thats looses alot of respect from some of you guys but I hope you understand I don’t want to be seen a box shifter muppet like most of em. And don’t even get me started on insurance sales, any one would think I got a job a direct line

Back on topic, Interesting reading. So basically as long as I explain in plain simple english why they shouldnt buy crap I shouldn’t feel guilty, lol seems fair enough.

i wouldnt worry about it mate, i work for comet as well
has to be comet, i dont seem to have any knowledge of anyone from currys on here (im sure ill be corrected)

why do you worry about losing respect from people?

bottom line is, your honest, you know what your doing and ppl wil respect that
i wont lie, ive been singled out for being a comet engineer, but , i stuck with it… at the end of the day, what makes anyone on here better or worse than me? we all work, we all do different things, and anyone who criticses you for doing your job simply isnt worth bothering about.
over the past couple of years ive managed to acquire a lot of mutual respect on here, wasnt easy at times, but ive found the engineers on here will always respect your opinion, whether its right or wrong.. a bit of healthy debate never hurt anyone.. quite often it helps ppl with important life choices
fair play to you for standing up and sayin what youve said, not many can or do
so, welcome on board, its nice to see someone who actually understands the day to day things we as engineers have to deal with on a daily basis
