Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
Well Penguin my good friend you inspred me yet again to have a go at removing my wifes bra 😀 😀 sorry bra bone and I decide to have a go. i was shocked after pulling the washer out that there was no removable back panel but it soon became obvious that the access point was from the bottom 😀 😀 oooops I keep making naughty comments.
Now back to business, all is well the object was eventually located and teased out.Man many thanks regards RUSSELL
Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
Thanks Penguin45,,, What do you think the worst case is cost wise, if disassembly is needed.I dont have any idea what Bosch service costs are. I suppose it will depend on the engineer, on how he reports and rectifies the fault. When you say disassembly does that mean the drum has to come out??
Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
Hello Penguin45.
We’ll my friend I went out and bought a Bosch 1200 classic express.
We have done 2 washes on the second wash at final 1200 spin stage there was a noisy rattling sound and I turned it off thinking there may have been a hair grip or a coin rattling about, but when I emptied the clothes out I found a metal bone which I discovered from my wife that it had somehow come out of one of the bras in the wash, I took this one out my wife checked all the bras and found one bra with no bones in at all. She didn’t think this one had bones origionally but wasn’t sure.We have done another wash since and on final 1200 spin something is making a rattling sound as it gets to its high speed, I am worried in case a bone which is a half circle shape may have managed to wriggle its way through the inner drum holes and is now between the 2 drums. Is this possible and what do I do now.. Thank you
Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
Thanks Penguin,, I wish I could afford the Ise machine but the realty is I can’t and I am going to have to look at something else I can afford.
Thank you again my friend. REGARDS
Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
WELL PENGUIN45 IT LOOKS AS IF LADY LUCK HAS FINALLY RUN OUT ON ME.
THERE WAS A VERY STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE MACHINE WHEN ON FINAL SPIN, THEN SMOKE APPEARED AND I QUICKLY TURNED IT OFF. THE HOUSE SMELLS AWFUL I AM JUST RELEAVED THAT WE WERE AT HOME. I HAVE TAKEN THE BACK OFF AND THE MOTOR HAS ALL BLACK STUFF AROUND THE ARMATURE AND FEELS HOT. DID YOU SAY YOU HAD ONE OF THESE IN YOUR BACK GARDEN,, IS THE MOTOR ANY GOOD, OR IS IT TIME TO SPEND SOME OF MY HARD EARNED PENSION. THANKS RUSSELL
Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
Penguin45,, Thank you once again my friend.
After taking a lot more time looking properly at the inside of the machine I discovered the problem.
The suspension legs or dampers whatever they are called are fixed to a plate, which is then bolted to the cast iron collar at the side.
With this being on the side I missed it. I have tightened everything up and tried a wash,, its working fine again (until next time)
Just look over your shoulder when your out and about,, it could be me stalking you 😆 😆
There’s a nice bungalow round the corner from me up for sale , it might be easier if you moved in.
Any idea how much a nice new soap drawer would be, my wife has hinted a new one would be nice??
Thank you again
Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
Well Penguin45 your certainly a master of the English language,, its really difficult trying to put a name around a noise.
I have just done a wash and pulled the washer halfway out so that I could feel the cabinet to see if the drum was banging against the side but I could feel nothing.
There does seem to be more vibrating and I think it would be described as banging,, I though for a moment that it was banging against the cupboard but it isn’t,, the banging intensifies as the speed increases.Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
everything is as solid as a rock,, suspension,,belt pulley,cast iron collar,, all bolts in place and tight,, anything else I need to check Sir.
Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
Hi Penguin45.. There is no concrete block, it has a cast iron collar, nut I will give all the bolts a good looking at.
Thanks.Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA noisy at high speed spin
Hello again Penguin45.
Well I’m back again for some help please.
The 1501 has been operating fine since you last helped me out back in April and has been used at least twice a week with a full wash.Now suddenly when the wash has finished and it goes into full speed spin, it sounds really noisy as if its overloaded, but I know that is not the reason as it does the same with half a load.
I have run the program with just water in and it operates ok.
I have opened the door to turn the drum manually that feels and sounds the same as when it did after I had fitted the new bearings and brushes.
There doesn’t seem to be any unusual play in the drum side to side or back to front.I have also had a look at the suspension springs and legs they look ok.
Any help would again be very gratefully received,,, maybe its time to call it a day and spend some of my pension on a new Bosch. if that is the case would you recommend any particular model, but it need to have a good spin on it,, Thanks
Re: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
Hello Penguin45
Sorry I’m a bit slow responding been away.
Yes I cleaned everything as you listed and have repositioned the round plastic piece to the left,,BINGO eveything is super, thanks very much.
Now its just a case of “whats next”..
CheersRe: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
Hello Penguin45.. Well new inlet valve fitted ok,, all holes in drawer cleande out.
Can you veryify for me please,, in the powder drawer where the conditioner goes there is a small round plastic piece which sits over the outlet for the conditioner. I am assuming that this piece sitting over the hole, as the water fills the container, the small amount of room between the wall of the round plastic and the wall of the exit creates a syphon allowing the conditioner to be sucked out.
Can you tell which way round the round plastic bit fits,, it can hook either front or back.
If I hook it to the back face, the top of the round bit sits a little proud of the drawer,, if I hook it to the front, it sits level with the drawer. We have done one wash but it didn’t take the conditioner although there is water in the compartment,,we have hooked it at the back to see if it makes any difference, other than that is there anything else I can check.
ThanksRe: Blomberg 1501 AAA fitting new triple inlet valve
Hello gents,
My triple inlet valve arrived today,, I was a little surprised to find no eletrical connection wires or terminals on it,, is it just a case of it sitting on a contact plate.
I just wanted to check before I take the other one out in case there should be something else with it.
Thanks
