Don’t have access to anything these days Dave. No complaints of drying issues but says the seal has gone out of shape along the bottom lip. Used to be a very common problem in chip shops or when lots of eczema creams were being used by customers.
🙁 Damn, made no difference using a gmail address. Out of ideas now so will just have to double check on logon for now.
Not sure if that worked, can someone post here to check. If that doesn’t work I will change my main email address to my gmail one.:)
Strange, only started in last few days. I come onto the site every morning and the only way I know there has been a new post is via the Notifications tab at the top of the page. Will try a logout/login.
Didn’t get one for this post either, [IMG2=JSON]{“data-align”:”none”,”data-size”:”full”,”src”:”https://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/forums/core/core/images/smilies/icon_question.gif”}[/IMG2]definitely not in spam folders.
There is no float switch on this appliance. Water ingress on the thermistor was a known cause of spurious faults. That drum looks in a rather sorry state tbh and does appear terminal.:( Leaks from the soap dispenser and from a small grey plastic corrugated vent hose at the top rear left hand side (from the back) were common leak points.
It would do no harm to clean the small filter in the valve just inside the hose connection. If it is filling at a reasonable flow rate I can see no reason to change the valve.
The water inlet valves on these machines are standard solenoid operated valves. They do not ‘sense’ water pressure as such and nothing in the machines software can detect high or low water pressures. The machine can detect a fill time out or no fill at all. All valves have a range of pressures they will operate on. If the pressure is extremely low they may not fill at all or fill so slowly that it could trigger a time out fault code. If the pressure is extremely high it can cause the water coming in to spurt out of the dispenser drawer or leak internally and in very extreme conditions possibly damage the valve.
Leaking or flooding out? Many possibilities and the only way to find out for sure is to have a look. Could be anything from door seal, pump or hose leaks to holes punched through the plastic outer drum caused by metal objects in the washing. If you can ease the machine forwards then tilt it back slightly you can then shine a torch underneath to have a look.
00145432 is the part number for your motor according to an earlier post. One thing to watch out for and something difficult to check with online pictures is the exact diameter of the motor drive pulley. Even the smallest difference in the pulley size will make a big difference as to wether it will work correctly.
One other thing you could if possible. Take short video of a close up of the comm as you very slowly revolve it through a full 360 degrees.
