Re: LG F1479FDS6 not starting
have you tried putting it in test mode? if you want details drop me a message with your email n i’ll send it on.
Re: LG Top Loader Fault 6E?
The BALL SENSOR is so named
because it contains a small ball
covering an even smaller hole. The ball
rests so it blocks the light from the LED
above from shining through the hole to
the phototransistor below. If the tub
moves enough to strike the, the ball is
moved temporarily from its resting
place, allowing the light to trigger the
phototransistor. This, in turn, causes
the drum rotation to stop and then
attempt to rebalance the load.
The sensor assembly is bolted to the
back of the washer near the bottom.
The tub (surrounding the drum) is
suspended on springs and dampers to
allow some motion while the drum
rotates. However, if the load is out of
balance and the tub moves too far out
of place, a tab on the tub will strike the
ball sensor.Sits at the rear under the pressure vessel .You can try cleaning the ” eye ” but think it’ll prob be a case of replacing it. ( might be worth checking the machine to see if its a drainage/ tub issue causing excess vib and the sensor’s actually just doing its job ! )
Re: LG Top Loader Fault 6E?
if its a direct drive could u have mis read it and its a ” hall ” sensor
Re: Did you Megger it…..?????
Isn’t it still the case these tests are a legal requirement and not a matter of choice!
Re: Hotpoint WML540 wont do anything?
thats one of the newer ones with the instant open lock, could be the interlock failing to engage hence the buzz or the spring which holds the hook in the doors gone so the lock isnt being pushed to the closed position
Re: Hotpoint WML540 wont do anything?
have you tried setting the machine to spin only to see if it goes? The buzz you describe would be usual at the start of a cycle when the valve engergises, if for some reason the plunger in the valve doesnt lift or theres an obstruction/kink in the supply hose the machine wont start since it doesnt fill.
Re: Componant ID……
forgot to say your welcome to the one off this old board and the resistor mentioned in last post if you PM me an address cheers Jim

Re: Software and usb connection leads for domestic appliance
unfortunately your spot on it is wishful thinking ! Although as previously stated a great many modern appliances have on board diagnostics which if properly utilised can point you in the right direction.Unfortunately we all mis diagnose from time to time the key to success is time, an extra 5 mins checking things with your megger/meter can save you many pounds in the long run
Re: Software and usb connection leads for domestic appliance
unfortunately the wash doc is exclusively for the use of merloni in house engineers. It’s even date barred by wireless update so I couldnt even make a copy before I left.Theres a topic in the trade technical inquiries section gives you a ream of fault codes and internal diagnostics, this will give you all the information an inde key would ( I believe you can still buy them direct from indesit )Personally when changing an inde/hotpoint pcd I unsolder the eeprom from the origial board and solder it into the new one hence transfering the eeprom data without any programming kit.Occasionally you get a corrupt eeprom but its the exception rather than the rule.

DIY … Destroy It Yourself…. always make it policy to steer clear for as you say they then turn round and blame you for all the damage caused by their ham fisted stripping !
Re: Software and usb connection leads for domestic appliance
well you can get a key for inde stuff and I believe there’s a smart card thingy for eeprom programming but to be honest 99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time I’ve found a combination of the in built diagnostic, an attentive ear to the customers and a wee bit detective work generally gets you there without a lot of fancy toys! When with Inde i had the wash doc kit and although undoubtedly handy it was interpreting what it told you which was important not always just the info it provided.

Def a well guarded secret jimca( 007 ! ) 😛
