Re: Vax V-028 Power Jet Pro – Water Valve
Thank you all
Just thought that I would come back and finish off by saying that I took a risk and ordered one and it is a perfect fit.

Re: Vax V-028 Power Jet Pro – Water Valve
Unfortunately this one broke when I was testing to see if the water/fluid was reaching that bit so can’t use it again.
I will keep hoping that some one will have one.

Re: Whirlpool top loader
Not sure what model you are dealing with but if it is the same gearbox as used on the 3RGSC9455JQ then the part no listed on SIOS for the outer seal at the top of the gearbox is 481946669834 and it is 481946669833 for the inner seal.
Hope that Helps

Re: Bosch dishwasher SGS532 GB17 module configuration
I haven’t received one yet though I have only just realised that it doesn’t give you peoples email addresses when you try to email them and there is no way of adding an attachment that I can see.
Will PM you my e-mail address.
Thank you

Re: Bosch dishwasher SGS532 GB17 module configuration
Can someone e-mail me the coding sheet for this module please – got to fit one at the end of this week or beginning of next week and don’t fancy taking my chance that there will be one in the box when it arrives.
Thank you

I am using sybase 6 on Win 7 Pro 64bit with no problems at all – not even having to run in any form of compatibility mode or as an administrator
Re: Pat test failed,What mega reading do i need

There is no definitive answer in the book so it is one of those questions where you have to try and interpret the guide as best as you can, the way I tend to look at it is this:
If there is more than 3KW of heating elements then in theory at least I would be able to class it as a heating appliance and pass it at 0.3Mohm, however in practice I prefer to make 1Mohm my standard pass/fail mark for everything and between 1Mohm and 8Mohm my advisory limits*, I do this because we all know how jittery some control boards can get when an element gets near or below the 1Mohm mark and when combined with the cumulative effects of other appliances it can be enough to knock out some RCDs, it also isn’t that hard to reach most of the time.
*Advisory limits = a part that looks like it isn’t far from failing and may or may not last a decent time after my visit, customer given choice of having pre-emptive replacement for just the extra cost of part or face possible second call out and parts within a short space of time.
Re: Pat test failed,What mega reading do i need
Just pulled the “Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment – 3rd edition” off the shelf to check what it says and help to clear up any confusion.
In 15.5 “The Insulation Resistance Test” it gives a table (15.2)which says:-
“Class 1 heating and cooking equipment with a rating equal to or greater than 3KW = 0.3Mohm”
“All other Class 1 equipment = 1.0Mohm”
“Class 2 equipment = 2.0Mohm”In note 1 it states “Certain heating and cooking appliances may be unable to meet the insulation resistance requirements, such as where metal sheathed mineral-insulated heating elements are used. It may be necessary in some cases to switch on the appliance for a period of time to drive off absorbed moisture before commencing testing. Additionally the touch current measurement of section 15.6 may be carried out.”
And finally just to clarify where 0.5Mohm may have come from we go back up the page and find this paragraph “The applied test voltage should be approximately 500VDC. The test instrument should be capable of maintaining this test voltage with a load resistance of 0.5Mohm”
Re: Creda 37649 Tumble Dryer
Should have said that yeas I have tried kick starting the drum/motor manually with no joy which is another reason why I didn’t think it likely to be cap although I will admit that even though I had one with me I didn’t actually try replacing it.

Re: Indesit G75C T/D – Intermittantly fails to heat
Looks like my guess of sticky float might be correct then – it is the only way that I could make a logical conclusion as to why it work again if you waited 3 days.
Now off to order a float and switch.
Thanks again

Re: Bosch SRS45E38GB/01 Dishwasher
Forgot to say in my instructions above – don’t try to remove the stator coil before removing the armature because of the way that it is wound the armature will only come out of the back.

Re: Bosch SRS45E38GB/01 Dishwasher
You could replace the motor bearing rather than the whole motor – Here is how I did it on the last one that I did:-
Unscrew Impeller, Remove the 2 torx head screws from the motor and then remove the rear end frame, you now need to remove the armature (may need some gentle persuasion from a hammer).
To remove the bearing from the shaft the easiest way that I have found is to use the claws of 2 claw hammers (one hammer each side of the bearing) and lever it off, you can now replace it with one of these.Works out much cheaper than a new motor even if it does take 10 minutes longer.
