Re: Hotpoint CTD80 condensing tumble dryer
I can send you a wiring diagram if you like. Personally, I would run a mile from this, I am wondering what the punter has done with the wires to the missing stat or ntc. 😯

Re: Caple D/W ?
Thanks, may have to return for a more ‘in depth’ study, difficult without a wiring diagram, 😥 door stat apeared OK. I could not see a reset stat, only a double pole stat clipped through to the element in the same way that the early Hotpoint ones used to be secured.
Jim.Re: Fan Oven Hotpoint UY46 help please
Have you reset the clock, is it set to Auto instead of Manual? Not sure if the timer controls operate for both ovens on this model, worth a check though.

Re: hotpoint engineers cannot solder
I remember when they stopped us carrying or using blowlamps, how the hell they expected us to remove the top loader tripod without a good dose of heat I don’t know. Change the whole PU was the answer. 😥

Re: Caple D/W ?
Here you go Ken, or anyone else that would like to answer. 😉
Model No: DI411. Type. 12033. NR.00224 0988. Made in Italy.
Heating element appears OK. visibly checked all wiring etc. PCB shows no signs of damage. Set to Rinse &Hold, worked perfectly, set on 45° glass wash, tablet released but no rise in temp, it would appear that E3 on this is a no heat fault. Could not see a reset stat, is there one.
The decor panel was secured by two screws at the bottom and the same type of fiddly pull out plastic doofers at the top, side of the door, exactly the same as the ones I last saw on a Diplomat.
Think that PCB may be at fault, any ideas on part No:, price etc.

Re: Indesit WDL 126 error code
You should get a different code if the pump is blocked or restricted, however Indesit fault codes can be vague at times. Worth checking for pump or filter blockages, check your instruction book or remove the kickstrip from the lower front edge of your machine and you will see the pump filter, arm yourself with a bowl and some towels, remove the filter and check for obstructions or blockages.
Be sure to remove the mains plug first.

Re: Number 2 is watching.
Put this in here so that the XML doesn’t worry anyone, didn’t want to put. ‘Go back to school, you imbeciles’. 😆
Just had this PM from bobokines. Is it only me that thinks of him as bobo-kines, rather than Bob Okines. 😆
Jim, as a moderator, can you start a thread about the quality of the punctuation and grammar in the trade forums. It might seem better coming from a moderator rather than from a normal user.
Many of the messages are virtually unreadable! I noticed that you had a dig at someone a week or two ago. There also seems to be a bit of SHOUTING going on that nobody is picking up on.
Or am I being a bit picky? (sorry, that sentence is gramatically incorrect)

…………………………Here is my reply.
…………………………Hi Bob, hows things ?
I understand your concerns, as someone who left school at the age of 15 with no formal qualifications,I find the general standard of spelling and grammar on here and on other forums that I frequent, frankly appalling.
With regard to the shouting, if it is a one off, then most of the time the mods will let it go. We do normally politely ask if someone is constantly posting with the caps lock on.
With regard to the spelling and grammar, this is a more difficult area. Due to the general lowering of standards, even in higher education it is often accepted as the norm. People can become very upset or even downright rude if you constantly pull them up. I do try to slip in the odd sly ‘hint’ to posters from time to time. Also you have to bear in mind that we have no idea just who the poster is, English may not be their first language, or they may be dyslexic.
The recent sad loss of my mother two weeks ago has made me a little more circumspect of late, no doubt I will soon return to my usual, disgusted self when I see awful posts, for now I just think, live and let live.
Regards.
Jim.
PS. I will mention it to the other mods to see if they think things need tightening up.
………………………..Do we need to be stricter, I personally think we have it about right.

Re: Indesit WDL 126 error code
Suggests that pressure switch is stuck on full. Error codes on these machines can be a little vague with certain faults. It could be a faulty pressure ( water level ) switch, a blockage somewhere or a fault in the very ticklish electronics this machine has on board. Is the machine draining correctly?
Please remove the mains plug if you intend to investigate yourself or click the link in my sig to see if we have someone who can help.

Actually a facelift of the 1848, the 1000 rpm version of the 1850/1.

Re: old Hotpoint!
It was not Purple, it was Amethyst. A colour picked after extensive market research.
I still have several of the old ‘Purple’ ones on my patch. replaced motor brushes in one last week that was 28 years old, not a mark on the alloy backplate, everything other than the door seal and pump original.Jim.
Re: Hotpoint Dishwasher Mod DWF 33
A quick look at Partfinder appears to show the tank but no part number either on the diagram or in the parts list. That would suggest that the price would be OTT. not sure if a Bosch one would be available, perhaps P45’s favourite, Granvilles Petro Putty might be suitable for a short term fix.
