Diagram shows two/three hoses, one going into the top of the filter flushing inlet, can be either C00258759 (46cm) or C00115535 (55cm).
The other hose goes into the back of the drum, C00115530 (41cm)

This is the latest generation super hub, I’m even getting over 50mb on my phone and well over 150mb on my main PC.
The sent me the hub by courier and I installed it myself. 8)
We have always been fairly lucky in this area as the initial infrastructure was installed by Cable & Wireless, reputed to be one of the better networks of the old Ntl setup.

Not so, FIFA can take action right away without any input from the Italians. They have already issued a statement to that effect. They will await the referees report and study the video first.iadom

You cannot bypass it, the self diagnosis sequence will throw up an error.

But it is exactly the same part that was used in ‘older models’ the original bearing was a small, square one that once changed from plastic to bronze never wore out . The removal of the pulleys can only be put down to cost savings. No extra space is gained on these by removing them.
They even tried to ‘beef up’ the rear bearing by changing from the small square bearing to the current teardrop bearing with the result that it now just takes a little longer to wear right through and the slice the shaft in half. :rolls:
Other lower end dryers such as the White Knight do not suffer this from this fault.

I do think it is a design fault, and you can call it a ‘rash’ or whatever, the simple fact is that on the Hotpoint based dryers there has been a huge increase in rear bearing and shaft failure, you always got belts snapping, far more now on these stretchy belts but you did not get the bearing and shaft wearing completely through and cutting into the back of the cabinet. That has only happened since the removal of the jockey pulleys ergo it is a design fault. The simple fact that it is far worse on Hotpoint based dryers suggests that the rear bearing should as Martin said have been updated or changed to allow for the tremendous load the belt now places on the shaft and bearing.
I also change more belts due to bearing/shaft failure than just simple belt failure and also do far more shaft and bearing changes than belts on these machines. I would guess at a ratio of 3 to 1 bearing/shaft to belt.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
