Re: Creda T622CW Relay connections
I don’t have the T622CW specific wiring, will send you TDC30 & TDC60 schematics, they use the same relay so hopefully you should be able to sort it from that.

Re: VAT De-registration

The last few years I was Vat registered I used to fill in all my Vat forms online, pay all my Vat bills in the same way, it just irked me looking at my bank account and realising that it wasn’t all my money. I seem to remember a survey done almost 20 years ago, it was said that if the Vat level was raised by 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} it would remove over 75{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of people/companies from having to pay Vat, it would result in a very small decline in Vat income that would have been offset 4 times over by the reduction in the staff needed to collect and enforce the tax. The problem is that this is the UK, tax em till they bleed to pay our index linked, gold plated pensions, government we are talking about. 😈
Current limit is £61,000 something I have been able to stay under without any problems, mind you, If I charged £50.00 for labour on a basic call my turnover would be almost non existant round these parts. You have to cut your cloth accordingly, lets just say, I make a butty. 😉 8)

Sorry to be pedantic, but you have still got geet instead of get, in the bearing change article, 😉
Re: Hotpoint washer Mod FEW10
The last time I had a similar fault I had to change the PCB to cure, symptoms almost identical to yours. 😥

Re: tricity bendix dh086 not emptying

Whilst the internet is a wonderful tool, it does have its limitations. I think that we may have reached that in this instance. In all honesty it may be time to contact a local engineer to come and have a look at your machine.
If you can find no obstructions to the pump, then checking the pump, the wiring, and control systems is the next step, something best left to someone with the correct technical information, test equipment and expertise.

Re: remove stuff in tub
The earliest English Electric Liberator Martin refers to was made long before GEC got their grubby paws on English Electric, or Hotpoint for that matter. The early Liberators had no electronics but were built like the proverbial brick toilet. Make modern day Meile machines look flimsy. If you could do a bearing change on a Liberator you could tackle anything.
The first models were in fact semi automatic, you had a motor that ran at one set speed, in one direction only. A timer that advanced after you had manually cancelled the heater. When you wanted to drain you pulled the first lever over, via a cable this lifted the pump pulley into contact with a large rubber pulley on the motor to drive the pump. When it had emptied you heaved over the other lever which again through a cable pulled the drum pulley which was in two halves closer together, forcing the belt to the outer edge of the pulley and reaching the superfast spin speed of about 450 RPM. A similar pulley drive was used on Philips top loaders with ball bearings inside that forced the pulley together to squeeze the belt. Also some early Zanussi machines used a similar drive pulley. The later Liberators, ran in both directions and used massive solenoids to achieve the same result.
The last Liberators had electronic controls, still built like tanks. One pre electronic model used a huge Italian motor called a Biglino, a monster of a motor, large alloy cast body with vanes like an Ariel Square Four cylinder block. The motor never failed but it was that heavy that it occasionally ripped the support brackets off the drums, two capacitors stuck on it the size of large tins of baked beans.

Re: Spin Dryers
If you are talking about a tumble dryer, not a spin dryer then it is almost certain that it does not have any brushes in it. Virually all Tumble dryers use brushless induction motors.

I would like to dispute that point. With the (dis) honourable exception of the Indesit/Servis mob, the electronics on most machines are fairly robust.
At a guess I would say that if I complete 35 to 40 calls in a week, less than 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of them involve changing the PCB’s. Pumps,door seals, interlocks, brushes, bearings, belts, TOC’s, stats, regulators, elements etc, those are the biggest failure points by volume. Take out the biggest cause of failure altogether (the user) and electronic faults come way down the list.I don’t think a picture of a PCB is a bad thing, it just needs to be a little sharper. 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of blokes and almost 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the fairer sex looking at that picture would have no idea what it was.
