Re: Indesit W103 Problem (concrete block broken off)
As far as I am aware they do on the EVO machines, just depends which of the W103’s this is.
edit. All these three, W103/A B or BG have evo controls.
chitty, check the user manual for any reference to this.Re: Indesit W103 Problem (concrete block broken off)
Is the full model number W103UK/A or /B or /BG, different outer drums.
If so , the outer drum is required, failry expensive and most definately not a DIY repair.
The machine is covered by manufacturers 5 years parts warranty, you will only pay the labour.Re: Hotpoint CTD80 Tumble Dryer Error Code F10
As the machine is almost certainly under warranty, and less than 12 months old then you should (must) contact Hotpoint/Indesit on 08709 066066

I am due to retire from Hotperloni in December and move to N/E Scotland but in the meantime we require a new vac.
Any reccomendations:wave: 😉
Re: Creda/WM type no spin.
SORTED. 🙂 😳 😳 😳
Machine is actually a Creda 17113X.
I don’t have a specific manual on this as it it virtually all Hotpoint WM.
The control knob is different on these machines, it is a push on fit without a locking collar & screw. fitting the test timer from a Hotpoint machine reveals that the timers are different as the knob is around 90° out of line on the Hotpoint timer.
There is no spin cancel feature, only a slow spin option. The main difference is that unlike most Hotpoint machines this one has a variable temp control.I fitted up a table lamp and a long flex to give me some light in what is a very dark garage and found that the fault was self inflicted. 😉
On the bottom edge of the PCB at the motor end of the board, are two plug positions, one marked rpm, the other temp. In my defence I could see very little and was almost working by touch the first time and I had fitted the blue, four terminal plug to the very end ‘spin’ position and not on the adjacent ‘temp’ position.
It is a rather poor design to have two plug positions so close together that will take the exact same plug, but I am attempting to shift the blame when it really was my fault. 😳
I was certain the motor was OK though. 😉
Re: Hoover motor tacho
I like the sound of this one, LADYSTEEL9SS
If I squint it looks like ladysteel ass 😉
Re: Creda/WM type no spin.
Will check out the no spin, machine is in a very dingy garage propped up across two wooden staves, it is an absolute nightmare to move.
I do have an old control unit which has the more common overheating problem that I usually use for motor testing pruposes.
Will let you all know the outcome. 🙂
Re: Creda/WM type no spin.
Control unit has been to QER for test/repair. Don’t think tacho is faulty as motor runs perfectly smoothly on wash, all wiring is fine, although I respect everything that Martin says, I have never had to replace an armature for this fault, and we have both been around for a very long time. 😥 🙂 ( but there is always a first time) 🙂
However I have in the past changed several control units for the exact same fault with 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} success in every case.
The machine is behaving as if it was in an OOB condition whilst it has no clothes in it.Re: Creda/WM type no spin.
Martin wrote:I will stand by what I think is the fault. Just one question though on this….when you set it say on to a fast spin only, does it take ages to even attempt to ramp into the first spin mode and seem to hang in distribute mode?
If so = new armature (i.e. ARM20)
No it runs up to full distribute and faster at normal time interval.
Will try a 1603070 😉 if all else fails and report back. 🙂

Martin wrote:It’s the armature that’s stuffed I reckon :lesson:
Wouldn’t be a Creda 17085 by any chance????
Armature is fairly new and runs perfectly smoothly on wash/distribute.
Not sure of model number from here at home, but it is a much later model with the hybrid control unit.
Its a 17187E or similar.
Re: Old (very ) Hotpoint , part required.
I don’t have a drill that big, however it would be an option to get it drilled out at an engineering shop, the pulley is much larger than the shaft and would really need a big drill and strong restraint to drill such a light piece of alloy.
I suppose an option would be to file it out but that would take some considerable effort.
I have one on they way thanks to cornwell40’s kind offer. 🙂
Re: spares from UKW
It strikes me as a complete no brainer. Charge Joe Public at least £15.00 more per item, on a non returnable basis. ( their fault if they misdiagnose). More profit for the module/timer repairers. That would cover the cost of a separate trade only section in one order.
That is, if it is a much of nuisance selling to them as Tony would have us believe. 😉
