Re: Hotpoint Error Code F10
You really need to check the various components and wiring with the correct electrical test equipment before ordering or fitting anything.

Re: Hotpoint Error Code F10
Fault in heater or related thermostats, or wiring. Saftey stat failed most likely.
Please remove mains plug if you intend to investigate further.Jim.

I always tell the customer that if they wish to pay an extortionate labour charge they can take advantage of the five year parts cover. On the rare occasion that the cost of the parts & my labour are more than the Indecent Company Ltd’s rip off prices, I inform them of the savings they can make. Very few are prepared to wait 10 to 14 days for an engineer of unknown capabilities ( you have as many duffers as good engineers within the company and it was always so) when the alternative is a call within one or two days, a first class job from someone who they and their family have trusted for almost 30 years.
On the odd occasion, that I fear will become more frequent due to the rapidly declining quality, poor electronics and sealed drums of the current production of Hotperloniston machines that a repair was over £120, then I would insist that they contact the manufacturer. If they still insist on asking me to do the job, then I will.
As I said in another thread, its a no brainer.Jim.
On reflection,
I don’t know about David M Bell. But I bet he has a second name beginning with the letter U that he is keeping quiet about. :rolls: 😆

Re: Replacing door seal on Zanussi WDJ-1074
You might find it easier if you remove the front piece of the dryer vent, it is held on by just two screws, one through the front of the cabinet and one one the earth lead on top of the duct. Be sure to refit the earth lead if you do remove this.

Re: Replacing door seal on Zanussi WDJ-1074
All you really need is years of experience, very supple but strong fingers, a few clothes pegs, a little washing up liquid, the patience of a saint and away you go. 🙂 No need to remove the drum or the front half of the cabinet ( there is no front panel as such).
It is one of those jobs that causes much discussion in the trade, the first one is always the hardest, after that its just a matter of finding out a method that suits each individual. Be sure to remove the plug, if you do finally give up, and if the machine is in good order it should be worth getting a good local independent engineer in to fit it for you.

Re: More Caple conundrums
To bloody big for me to try and shift on my own, it looks and feels like a right piece of tin, the wire shelf rack channels on one side fell of as I was lifting the bottom tray out, the threads are stripped for the reataiing screw, I am trying not to get to involved with this one. 😉

Re: More Caple conundrums
Hi Greg, I have gone all over this machine from the front but can see no sign of a rating plate. It doesn’t have a warming drawer but due to the size and the gas fitting for the hob I didn’t want to try and pull it out. 😥

Re: Caple D/W ?
Went back to this very early this morning, 😉
The little present from north of the border could not be delivered on Saturday because no one was at home. 😥 just collected it an hour ago, thanks Ken.
Using the service manual I have, which says on the front Dishwasher 2001,
60mm, issuing date 07/06/02 I had a closer look at the machine.
The door stat which I assume is the 45° stat, is OC which is correct according to this manual. The base stat under the element has one side OC, the other NC which again appears to be correct. I have heard mention of a manual reset cut out and there appears to be one in this wiring diagram but I have looked everywhere on this machine and cannot see one.
Do all Smeg dishwashers have a manual reset stat, if so where is it. ❓Will be going back on Wednesday with the aforementioned present. 🙂
