Re: TDS DVD
I’m pretty certain after several hours of b*****ing about that the conflict is between the latest Microsoft Critical Update and the TDS version of Acrobat Reader, the file download that is blocked is a VBS file from the TDS web site, not from Adobe.

Another cunning ploy by Hotpoint perhaps? Ensure that the remaining GEC motors get cooked by the awful 1600474…….
Or am I being paranoid?
Chris.
The white ones are OK. I received 25 sets of the old dodgy type last week from one of my suppliers and promptly posted them back and had them exchanged.Re: TDS DVD
What a b****y pain. Uninstalled Reader 7 then using System restore went back more than three weeks, before the latest Microsoft Critical Updates. Reinstalled Reader 5 & TDS and it is now working, The icon in the systray is now warning me that the Critical Updates are ready for download, I will have to use trial and error to see which one is causing the problem.
I always have auto update for Microsoft patches enabled, has anyone had all the latest Microsoft Critical Updates from a week or so ago that still has a functioning TDS program?
Re: Hotpoint brushes – laminated vs thin.
Fit 10 to 15 sets a week, had severe problmes for over 12 months, last six months the white holder( original) ones have been fine.
Re: TDS DVD
I have uninstalled both Reader 5 and 7, together with the full TDS install, ran Registry Mechanic which cleared a few more related files then using regedit, cleared out all references to Adobe and TDS. Using the TDS disc I did reinstalled Reader 5 then the full TDS files but the problem still persists. Internet Explorer blocks a file download, I accept the file and run it, initially Reader 5 would then open, I could select a model number but when I clicked on the model I only got the parts list on the left, no parts diagrams in the right window.
Now if I allow the download and try to run it I get an error message and it fails. 😥
There were some Microsoft critical updates a week or so ago, I wonder if they are causing this conflict because I don’t remember using the TDS disc for a week or two??
Before last night TDS ran perfectly, sometimes, initially opening Reader 5 but sometimes using Reader 7 to display files without any problems.
Re: Electrolux ESL4114 D/W
She has already organised for the original fitter ( only been in 12 months) to return, but as they put these great big tiles down themselves I guess he wont be impressed either. 😥
Re: Siemens SR64 Slimline D/W
Thanks for replies, couldn’t see a timer at the time 🙂 but it was at the end of a particulary trying day. Wiring harness at door hinge looks perfect, base bone dry.As the only thing that has been done to this machine is replumbing and a new decor panel I think I need to check out the aquastop in more detail, would a failure of this lead to a completely dead (except for neon) machine?
I assume the pcb that I could see was similar to the 6 or 7 gang bank of switches used in another full size Bosch produced Hotpoint from around the same time.

You didn’t work on the 1400 Mks 1 to 5 then? HL2468 spin unit, HL2289 Condensor ( as we called a capacitor then) & HL2178 relay all changed at the same time.

if it won’t even go onto the test cycle then it sounds like a pcb. 🙁Errrr! This old machine doesn’t have a PCB :con:
Why not try advancing the timer to the end of the cycle or at least wait ’til is advances thru the dry cycle and turns off???
In my best pantomine voice, “Oh yes it does” 🙂 Controls are along the top edge of the door, Mains On/Off and four programme selector buttons, no timer. had a look on the Bosch website yesterday and the internals are the same as the Hotpoint 6820 (circa 1988) not sure how old this machine is but it doesn’t look that old.

Re: Siemens SR64 Slimline D/W
Strange one this, went today. The plumbing appears sound, it has one of those ‘Aquastop’ doofers with the big thick pipe. Cannot see from the old ( 1990) Hotpoint manual any way that a fault in the aquastop could cause this problem.
The mains neon & the salt neon come on as soon as the On/Off button is depressed but when you close the door nothing happens. I have tried all combinations of the four selector buttons including the ‘advance to end’ option by pressing buttons 2&4 simultaneously. On the Hotpoint derivative even if the aquastop is faulty the initial drain operates.
The door switch is perfect, all the wiring appears to be in tip top condition, no problems near the hinge etc.Any other suggestions before I refer her to BSH?

Speaking from experience, it was the pathetic two pole motor and the bellows seal fixed directly onto the support tube that killed the Hotpoint top loader, long before the plastic gears. 😥
Re: G.D.A BF72 int’ D’W E8 fault
Not sure on that specific model but if it is an Indesit heap. ALO8 on a similar DWF70 and DWM75 is a heater fault. The heater is very prone to failure on these and can be easily accessed and checked with the base off.

Martin wrote:OK Jim, if you have cleaned the condenser and confirmed the valve flows to the condenser, are you sure water is flowing through the ‘Restrictor Nozzle?’ They usually fur up after a couple of years use anyway and need replacing( well down south they do, possibly not in the frozen north?) But worth replacing nonetheless 💡
Some of the softest water in the country round here, hence the large number of drum support failures.To which ‘restrictor’ nozzle are you referring?
