Re: Ultima WD865 Woes

Not a problem, it’s easy to fix – that’s what liquid steel is for 🙂

Do you have a part number for the gasket, I think trying to make it fit a third time will be too much for it.

Oh….

so I’ve left mine in – is this going to be a problem.

Re: Ultima WD865 Woes

Thanks for the expert remote diagnosis. Part arrived today, fitted and all is well. 😀 Great service all round.

Of course you didn’t tell me I’d have to drill a whopping great hole in the body to take the filter, or that my cables would be too short with the mod. 😉

Re: Ultima WD865 Woes

Thanks for the advice, the stat has definitely gone OC. So where do I get the full kit from.

Cheers

Re: Ultima WD865 Woes

Thanks Dave for the quick response. I can only see one heater element when I remove the back (or should I say the little inspection panel, as the whole back doesn’t come off), does this do both drying and washing ? (In any case this element heats up, as I confirmed with a 95 degree wash).

If I knew where the thermostat was I could check it, although I still think I’ve probably dislodged a wire somehow.

Thanks
James

Thanks for the tip. The manual doesn’t say this though, and the WD865 is rated as 5+5, and all over the manual it mentions that you can wash and dry a full 5kg load. So should i have Hotpoint up under the trades description act 😉
