Re: Smeg DF61125DX Dishwasher Unknown Error
I don’t know this machine but I would check the power supply capacitors as they can cause spurious faults. I have had a couple of smegs that wouldn’t reset out of fault condition till you gave them a new genuine fault (e.g. Anti flood activated).

Re: Dimplex LXY15 Loxley Optiflame electric fire.
I am sure that I may have done a unit similar to this one (in my case a free standing version that had no life), if they are the same then you need to take the top off and slide the mirror glass up out of the unit to reveal the PCB mounted on the right hand side of the unit, if it is the same PCB as the one that I dealt with then it was the 680uF capacitor that had failed.

Re: Zanussi dishwasher transformer
I believe that 347-3473 should be a pretty good match for you.

Re: DeDietrich single oven DOP895
I don’t know the unit but that sounds very much like the power supply on the PCB is failing to start up properly and is constantly restarting, maybe a blown capacitor or similar causing it.

Re: Hotpoint dryer belt fitting tool
I use the Qualtex version of this all the time on the vented ones, it won’t fit most of the condensers though.
The way to use it is to take the right hand side of the machine off, the tool has a prong that you insert into a slot in the base (in line with the motor pulley), you then use the 2 prongs halfway up to pull the belt down and hook it onto the pulley, it just acts as a big lever and saves the fingers.

Re: Pro Action A105QS – Door Lock
I went back and fitted the lock you suggested today and it works perfectly.
Thank you

Re: hotpoint hm31aaf no start… pcb repair?
As Dave says it does look like a SMPS power supply transformer, the image quality is too low for me to see anything properly but is there a fusible resistor on the board (in-line with the mains power to the board usually), if so check whether it is open circuit.
Give us a better quality image and then we may be better able to help you.

Re: Indesit INC310G
Well we have had this unit out and still couldn’t get the stat out, it sounds like it goes halfway up inside the fridge wall and stops and there are absolutely no covers, openings or holes inside or out at that point so the unit has been scrapped.

Re: Indesit INC310G
Not yet, it is in a shalet on a campsite and it was going to cause too much disruption due to lack of room (the holiday makers have been given a temporary unit for now), I am also waiting for one of their maintenance men to give me a hand lifting it out of its cupboard.

Re: Indesit INC310G
That’s what I thought but it is stuck solid, it feels like it is jammed right down towards the end of the phial.

Re: Indesit INC310G
Product Code: 47259190000
Serial No: 303034013Just in case that will help anyone identify what may be the possible reason that this unit does not want to release its stat.

Re: whirlpool awor4205 washer
Micky – I suggest that you look in the PCB repair thread where you will find my cure to this problem.

Re: zanussi dishwasher zdf2020 resistor value on pcb?
I don’t have a board available to look at but looking at the image the resistor would not have had any colour bands, instead it would probably have had the value printed on it (not on the underside is it?). It is a fusible resistor (as I expect you knew anyway) and looking at the data sheet for the microchip it looks like they may have followed the sample circuit fairly closely which would suggest that it would be 8.2 Ohm at 2W although I doubt that it would matter if the resistor was a slightly higher value.
I would also replace the inductor L3 as it appears to be spewing its guts out of the side (has probably gone short circuit – looks like it may be a 1mH with 5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} tolerance, not sure whether you can get away with a 0.2A or if it needs a 0.3A) and the U2 microchip (LNK305GN).
In all it looks like it is a similar power supply design as that used on the Whirlpool washing machines (see PCB repair thread), it just looks like a slightly higher current version.
