Re: Is SAMSUNG J1453SGS/XEU washing machine any good?
What is your postcode, even if we have no one listed, we do know one or two reputable firms in most areas.
I have not advertised in any shape or form for over 25 years so it does not always follow that you will find ‘company names’ locally.
All members who sign up to our Repairs@ section have to agree to a certain code of practice, if they don’t live up to it I’m sure you would let us know. 😉

Model number & serial number? http://tinyurl.com/m8pqa
There are several timers used on these machines with a wide range of price difference.

And that is exactly what I can see. you may need to alter your time zone in your profile.
Should be GMT+ 1 hour ATM.
Simply click the link in my sig to find one of our members in your area. They will be more than happy to discuss call out charges and no doubt give you a price for brush replacement, should that be the eventual diagnosis.
Re: help!
how long have you left it before you have decided that it is not going to ‘move on’ ?
If there is a fault on the machine the timer knob would start clicking round without stopping and the mains neon would flash a set number of times to indicate an error code.
The timer will not advance in the wash cycle until the water has been heated to the selected temperature.
A quick and simple check, select a wash, when the machine starts to tumble and you think it is not going to advance, go to your electricity meter and depending on the type of meter you have, the dial will be spinning quite fast or, the red light will be blinking rapidly if the washing machine is heating the water. Make sure you do not have any other high current using appliances such as cookers, kettles, irons etc on at the same time.
Remember, “a watched pot never boils” 😉
PS. If you manually move the timer after selecting a programme, it will rotate right round until it reaches the spot you started it on. To cancel a programme, turn the knob to one of the black dots and wait until the neon light flickers. Switch OFF, reset to the programme you require and switch back ON.
Re: How to Clean Dishwasher
Plenty of useful info here. http://tinyurl.com/ovvw5
The salt compartment is fairly obvious on most dishwashers. Usually a large round cover in the base that you unscrew to fill with special dishwasher salt. A must do in hard water areas.

Re: INDESIT IDL700
A ‘friend’ sold you an Indesit, some friend :rolls: 😯 Looking at the IDL730 and at the parts info for the IDL700 there does not appear to be that much physical difference.
You could download the IDL730 manual and see if it conforms to your machines controls, if not you haven’t lost anything ( assuming you have a BB connection)If it is not suitable then a phone call to the Indesit Company is the only way.

Is this only available to authorised agents Mark ?
Re: Creda 1000 Supaspeed EcoWash blew consumer unit fuse
The machine will work with Earth and Neutral reversed, until something goes wrong that is. The model and serial number are usually on the door hinge or on the door itself close by. IPX4 means it has past certain splash tests.
You could try a new door lock, they do fail quite often, part number 1602390, available in the shop here at UKWG’s, however I fear it will have damaged the control unit’s PCB if it took the trip out. 😥

Re: Cricket, lovely cricket.
I was upset that they didn’t include the young Durham fast bowler for todays match. The way that England have bowled in the recent one day matches, it would have been a case of Tripe & Onions. 😆
Re: Hotpoint WD72 problem
The only way to assess the damage would be by actually seeing it, unless you can post pictures for us then you really need to get someone to have a look at the machine. To be honest it does not sound very good but I would be very surprised if the concrete weights have broken up on a Hotpoint WD, I have never seen one. If you don’t feel happy with your original engineer then click the link in my sig to see if we have someone who can help.

Re: Midge Ure now works for Creda
I may be wrong but I’m guessing that someone in the factory has a sense of humour, if I see one with M.Mouse I will know for certain, but then again, the last I heard he was still working in Indesit’s design office. 😥 😆

Bad design, nay, downright bloody awful more like. 👿Re: Is SAMSUNG J1453SGS/XEU washing machine any good?
Re: Creda 1000 Supaspeed EcoWash blew consumer unit fuse
You have heard wrong, the ‘selector dials’ are far from the most common cause of faults on washing machines. Sadly most DIY people jump in with both feet and change very expensive parts that are often not needed and invariably make the situation worse.
There are many possible causes of your fault, motor brush or armature failure, door lock, heater, pump, loose or chafing wiring etc. The only way to check is with the correct test equipment and suitable knowledge/experience.
Some of the above faults can indeed lead to damage on the control unit PCB’s so you need to check out all the possibilities.

Please remember to remove the plug if you are putting your hands inside.
Exact model number would be a help if you can find it.

Re: hotpoint DWF30 does not empty
Access to pump on the ‘Bosch’ produced machines is not easy, front door panel and large lower plinth have to be removed. The removal of the pump should be fairly obvious. If it isn’t then I respectfully suggest you click the link in my sig to see if we have someone who can help.
A twist might help. 😉
