K.
I used Daz tablets in the drawer for years without problems, in a bungalow with moderate hot water pressure. Now use Ariel for slightly better wash performance. 🙂
Re: Taurus in DAD flyer
One line in the second link from Dave which is working fine here, on the ‘English’ page, is quite amusing, ‘risky with balance’ that just about sums it up. 🙂
Re: Manchester United V Wigan
Thinking about A rs enal has made me thirsty, I am just popping out for a ‘Sol Campbell’…… a swift half, then straight back home. :rotfl:
Re: wma32 pump
There was a problem with this pumps flap valve, a while back, caused problems on newish machines at the time, in fact if you ordered a new sump hose assy, you got a new, slightly reduced size flap valve for the pump included. I would have thought that all the stock of faulty ones had long since gone.
Re: Bosch 7022 element
Thanks for that Richard, will get one ordered. BTW, did anyone at Masterpart get my e-mail regarding a delivery charge on a recent invoice that had £107.00 worth of parts on it?
Re: wm73 – E15-Heating element
You need a meggar or a multimeter to check the insulation of the heater. If it is scuffed and you can see even the tiniest break in the metal casing then it will more than likely be the cause of your E15 fault.
If you were to ask me which component was likely to fail without warning, just after I had visited a machine to do an unconnected repair I would vote for valve failure ever time, can go like a light bulb, with no warning at all.
Re: wm73 – E15-Heating element
Valve failure is fairly common, if you cannot hear the hot valve buzzing when the water is turned off, then it is almost certainly a faulty valve. ( not expensive) If you can hear a buzzing then remove the hot fill pipe and check the valve filter, on some of the farms I worked on they had spring water and used to gunge up the valve filters quite often. If you cannot check the heater electrically, they are not to expensive ( around £21 + vat) considering your investment so far., but I would still suggest an insulation test on the element first.
Always remember to remove the plug first. :zap:
Re: wm73 – E15-Heating element
If the heater is ‘scuffed’ then it can indeed give a ‘pump error’ code on these machines, don’t ask me why, it just does. You would need to check the heater for low insulation. If the machine was used via an RCD device it would more than likely trip, if it is on a normal ring main it can still heat perfectly but cause the electronic control module to give this fault. Fill problems are more likely down to inlet valve failure or poor water pressure.
As someone who worked full time on farms from 1962 until 1968 and then for many years after joining Hotpoint still spent all my spare time, weekends etc, haymaking, silageing, draining, milking, fencing, hedging, turkey plucking, building etc, I know just how resourceful or tight 😉 farmers can be when it comes to mechanical items. The times that we ‘fettled’ machinery with the most unlikely items would fill a book. One farmer I worked for even used the old cabinet from a Hotpoint 1400 twin tub washer as a PTO ( power take off) guard on a crusher/grinder machine. I once rescued a David Brown tractor, late at night whilst hay bale collecting with a piece of silver cigarette paper wrapped round the main fuse. 🙂Re: creda condenser dryer blowing trip
Worth bearing in mind, that thread relates to a pump to top water container model. Yours is a gravity drain into a lower water container, it may be possible to use the wire pushed through method on this type to clear the float chamber but I have yet to try it.
All this Tedd, you are not Paul Whitehouse in disguise are you? 😀
Re: To Salt or Not to Salt ??
I have many customers with dishwashers over 20 years old that have never had salt added, and have had little or no problems, local water is ultra soft. 🙂
Re: Miele – Stupid question about install
I have no experience of Miele machines, but several machines in the past have had a plastic ‘outer skin’ on the door, particularly washer dryers, this is to prevent a child or anyone else for that matter touching the door glass when it is hot.

Re: Just call me R600a mk2
I wish, I you read the post about the saga of moving my daughter down to Manchester the other weekend then tonight is problem #2. She phoned late last night to say trhat she could not start her car, she could not even disarm the alarm. One of the main benefits of her moving into town was to be 10 minutes walk from her office. The last time she drove the car was last Wednesday evening when she came to the squash club in Rochdale and duly wiped the floor with me. She thinks that she may have left the interior light on, so it appears it has flattened the battery. So later tonight I am going down armed with the jump leads, daughters eh, 😉
