Re: siemens dishwasher
Assuming that you have checked the start capacitor then it might be worth popping the motor out and removing the impeller (unscrews off the shaft) so that you can see if the front bearing is rusted up, if it is then you will need to change the impeller, seal and bearing (602-cz I think from memory).

Re: daewoo frs u20 dcb
Going from the wiring diagram I can see that the fan is connected to the control board at connector 13 pins 1 and 2, I cannot see a temperature sensor for that area on the diagram but it also tells me nothing about when it should and shouldn’t work, it is a 13V DC Fan so you may be able to test it off a 9V battery.

Re: Zanussi ZWD12270W
If the start/pause light is flashing between red and green then count the red flashes followed by the green flashes to find out what the error code is or enter diagnostics to do the same. Also check the insulation especially on the drier heating element as Zanussis get tetchy when the insulation value drops below 40Meg and in my experience very tetchy when the drier element gets to about 3 Meg.

Re: Neff W/Dryer, no spin?
Sounds as if one of the relays has a dead contact, if you are feeling brave you could try changing them.

Re: Bosch D/W Motor Problem?
I may have forgotten where it was switched but it still seems odd to me that he can only find 1 motor coil.

Re: Bosch D/W Motor Problem?
I assume that you have tried connecting to the capacitor connections as well and can still only find 1 coil? You could try disconnecting the motor from every thing else, if you can then get a reading between the 2 connectors that go to the capacitor then the coils are probably ok otherwise I would expect at least one more connection (can’t remember which) to give you a reading.

Re: electrolux dishwasher ESL 6115
I know it sounds mad but has it got any rinse aid in it? If it doesn’t then add some as some of the Electrolux dishwashers I have come across appear to have an internal counter that will allow them to do so many washes after the rinse aid light comes on before it stops completely.

Re: maytag top loader spares and exploded views
They should be in the plastic end caps – may have sprung plastic tabs that need pushing out they way to get to the heads, there should be no need to remove timer knob (done from the back of the timer if I remember correctly) or any other knobs.

Re: maytag top loader spares and exploded views
I have replaced a couple of lid switches on the whirlpool branded units – I haven’t checked which switch yours uses yet but it may be 481227618484 – I will double check later if I can but should be available through Connect etc.

Re: maytag top loader spares and exploded views
To remove the control panel you need to undo the 2 downwards pointing screws at the back bottom of the bezel, it should then pull forwards slightly before you can lift and rotate it upwards. then you should be able to access the micro switch.

Re: Whirlpool top loader model 3RLSQ8000JQ
These machines are designed to have a neutral drain, once they have emptied the motor should stop briefly before starting again which should then engage the shaft to start it spinning.
With the outer cabinet off and a bit of suitable wire to link out the door switch connection you should be able to see the clutch – draw a line on it then observe whether it spins or not, if it does then it may be the bearings or brake that are at fault, if it doesn’t then does it pause the motor at all? If the motor does pause and it doesn’t engage spin then it may be 481931038725 (Wheel cog kit) which isn’t engaging as it should.

P.s. If you send me an e-mail address then I can send you a copy of the direct drive manual which goes into detail about how the gearbox works for wash, drain and spin functions.
Re: Baumatic B904ss
When you say trip do you mean the MCB (over current trip) – if so then what rating is it? Maybe the cooker is too powerful for the circuit it is on – the manual states that it wants a 30A supply.

Re: Miele G7702
Yes that will certaintly make it more palatable for the customer – you don’t know where I can find the heating elements cheaper do you? I don’t know which element(s) it will need replacing yet but suspect that it is one of them that is causing the RCD to go, will have to find out which when there is not so much hot water pissing out of the bottom.
