Re: In search of the fourth cord
Keep an eye on Percythrower sounds like a back street bodger to me. :rolls:

Re: Hotpoint wm 64 big bangs !
Even if the tacho control system was faulty it should not have flashed from the motor. It sounds like a new motor and possibly a control unit are now needed.
If you are a genuine white goods trades person then please apply for trade membership ASAP. The link is on the home page. 😉
PS. You don’t mention doing any sort of insulation tests on the components, something that should be second nature to any whitegoods engineer. ❓
Re: Indesit IDC75 squeak/squeal!
13 months is a long time in the life of an Indesit dryer. 😉
Most likely causes are the jockey pulley or the rear bearing failing.
You can check the rear bearing by removing the small, squarish cap on the back, dead centre. If it is full of black dust or the bronze bearing is obviously worn away then it will need changing.If the shaft is damaged and it is only 13 months old then it will have the bearing shaft that is riveted to the drum. A complete drum replacement is needed.
The jockey pulley can be observed from behind the right hand (from front) side panel.
Re: White Knight pcb
Thanks for your reply but it was the first thing I looked at once I realised I could get it going with a knock.
Possibly a sticking relay but she didn’t want to go any further. 🙁
Re: What Really Happened
I must admit, reading a lot of the posts in the Trade Forums does make me cringe at times, still surprised at that level of incompetence though. 🙁
Re: What Really Happened
That figure of ’60-75{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of all calls placed’ being bogus, misdiagnosed or fraud is very alarming, is it really so high. :eeek:
Re: Hotpoint Timer BD42SS
No idea TBH, I can’t see the 42SS model running for five years without alteration but who knows, a real minefield especially given the cost of the part. 🙁
Re: Indesit IWDE12UK Fault Code and Reoair – HELP!!!!!!
Note that when electrofix say ‘all’ lights he does mean every single light on the machine not just the ones along the top. 😉
Re: Indesit IWDE12UK Fault Code and Reoair – HELP!!!!!!
Ignore the flashing lights, if the very bottom, right hand vertical light is on steady then that is error F01.
Motor triac fault (allegedly ).
Can be motor, wiring or main pcb at fault. all in all not good news. 🙁
Re: Hotpoint Timer BD42SS
It used to be the first two numbers of the serial number, 61 would make it Jan 2007 but your machine was first produced in 2002 and changed to the SS.Mk2, then the SS.Mk2T and finally the SS/2. :rolls:
01 instead of 61 would be Jan 2002 which would be spot on. :con:
Re: Hotpoint Timer BD42SS
Before date code 19 it is a C00224974 (blue display)
After date code 18 it is a C00199539 (6 button blue display)Re: hotpoint dryer tdc 32
The clean filter light should come on, that is normal when the timer is in a certain position, I have never, ever seen a door frame stat cause an overheat situation, only no heat.
Have you changed the capacitor yet?
Re: hotpoint dryer tdc 32
Element is switched off for the short reverse tumble, I have changed several door frame stats, every single one for O/C, never had one stick closed.
Have you actually changed the capacitor, its the first thing I would have done if everything is clean and clear, after that then I would suspect the timer is not switching the heater off, easily checked if you have a plug in digital meter.
Easiest way to quickly check capacitor is to remove the lid and place one hand firmly on top of the drum then switch it on, if you can hold the drum with very little force then the capacitor is shot, it will be virtually impossible to hold the drum by hand if it is OK.
The clean filter light should come on when the door is opened and the timer contacts are in a certain position, it is not linked to any stats it’s just a general warning or advice light.;)
