Re: Trojans
Only a couple of fixes, 😥 My Av has auto updated 4 times today alone,
I also get instant e-mail notification of the updates with a full list of the latest virus names.
The latest list includes several versions of a virus called W32/Viking 😆
It could all be your fault. 😛

Re: Hotpoint WMA13P Door Not Locking
Bung Hotpoint £89.95 😉 , if it is under 3 years old the chances are that it will have the rubena seals so bearing failure is far less likely on your machine.
A very common fault, the board will have corpsed.
Re: Baumatic
Machine is a BTWM4, customer was told by the kitchen company that it was British made, looking at it I think he was telling porkies. :rolls:
Fault cured, No spin button was out. To be honest the user manual and the push buttons a not very clear.
Re: Creda W200FW won’t work on “D”
Possibly a fault on control board, best to run the diagnostics test first to check out all the components.

Re: Hotpoint 9926 W/D – Leak from the tub ?
Ths could just be a drum front seal leak. Drum seal is not the easiest thing to change being a washer dryer. cost of part is around £16 to £18. If the drum bearings are sound ( no excessive noise) then it should be well worth repairing. Click the link in my sig to see if we have someone who can help.
Part number of drum seal is 1600657, if you do decide to attempt this repair I would advise re using the old clips. The new seal is supplied with a full set of clips but in recent times the new ones are so badly formed that they are prone to coming adrift, thats if you can get them to stay on in the first place.
On balance due to the various pitfalls regarding the balance weights and the dryer inlet duct I would advise seeking expert help. Please remove the mains plug if you intend to proceed yourself.

Re: Indesit D63 Dishwasher Door hinge
Three parts to the hinge assembly on these, a hinge spring hook, hinge spring & hinge itself. Most likely culprit is the spring but closer examination is the only way to find out. If the spring has snapped it is wise to order two and change both sides. Can be a bit of a fiddle to change. Parts can be supplied by us, plug out before you proceed please. 🙂
All the parts for the hinge assembly are inexpensive. 8)

AVG free, or paid for. Reasonable, but definitely not not ‘excellent’ or you would not have been infected.
My AV is Command, from Authentium. Used it since it was recommended to me by DAN computers over 10 years ago, deffiles auto update 3 or 4 times every day, never had an infection of any kind.
You should try out Prevx 1 if you want belt & braces protection. I use Prevx 1, plus ZoneAlarmPro firewall ( difficult to configure but well worth the effort), MailwasherPro, Spybot Search & Destroy, Windows Defender & Spywareblaster.
MailwasherPro is very good because you can check on your e-mails without having to download them. You can set up filters and blacklists and delete spam from your mailbox server before it gets anywhere near your PC.

There are engineers out there that when called to a Hotpoint machine that will change the part that is faulty on a machine less than 5 years old knowing very well that it would be cheaper for the customer to call the manufacturer out on the 5 year free parts.
I have also had local repairers complain that they cant repair newer models of Hotpoint machines due to the power module having a programmable chip in it.I worked for Hotpoint for almost 12 years, back in those days 1968/1980, we often questioned the management decisions and the quality, how wrong we were. On Monday I repaired a Hotpoint 1827 that was well over 27 years old. The current production will be lucky if it lasts 27 months. Despite your post in another thread, a labour charge of almost £90.00 in socially deprived areas, or for that matter in any area is extortionate. That said, I always inform my customers of the free parts guarantee if the cost of the part is more than £90.00. I have two WMA drum assys to fit this week , rebuilt with rear halfs, new seals etc. I charge £120.00 for that job and well over 95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of my customers ask me to do the job even though I have informed them that it is £30 more than Hotpoint’s charge. The reasons for this are mainly due to long term customer trust ( 27 years on my own, never advertised for almost 25 years) long waits for Hotpoint’s service calls and a general lack of confidence in the company in general. I have many contacts within the company even to this day, and to a man they all despise what the spaghetti munchers have done to the company. 😥 👿 😥
On a different tack but just another example of the ‘rip off’ mentality of the Indecent Company, I need a heater box for a Hotpoint DF61 dishwasher, Indesit price inc vat just over £100.00. The exact same part from Bosch who made this machine, less that £50.00. as a company employee you will not see things like this but you can understand the general ambivalence towards your employers from many members of the trade and the public at large.
