Re: Hotpoint WMD962 F:05 error

Thanks. Did a good clean out of the pipes at the weekend and replaced the pump today. Will give the switch a go.

Re: Zanussi DA6141 no heat/partial fill

Stripped it down again, water flowing around the IWMS (observed from a safe distance with only LHS cover removed).

Motor at rear centre (drain/circulation pump?) is buzzing? Anyone know how to strip this out? Removed rear plastic covers and motor bracket but can’t see how it’s attached to the pump.

Thanks,
John.

Re: Hotpoint TDC32S front felt seal

Thanks.

Will try the rear drain valve tomorrow. It’s draining slowly into the tank and clothes are still a bit damp after a full cycle on low.

Do you happen to know where to get a drain kit for this machine? I asked shop@ a while back but they couldn’t get a part number. Think it’s just a bit of plastic tubing.

Re: Hotpoint TDC32S front felt seal

Stripped it down and gave it a good clean – heavy layer of fluff around the inners. Working better now.

Behind the water tank there’s a smaller plastic container with a valve on it. Removed that valve and the container is also filled with wet fluff.
The container has an top inlet to the rear air channel that collects the condensate.

How do I get that container out to clean it properly? One screw on the bottom of the machine just loosens it I think – didn’t want to force it out.

Thanks.

Induction. Live and learn. And Less to do!

I’ll run it up and have a (safe) sniff about. Thanks Jim.

Re: Hotpoint WMA44 woes

Hi all,
I replaced the triacs but there was still something wrong with the controller so I called in hotpoint repair. For £99 they fitted a new controller. 1 year warranty on the part too.

For the DIYers on the forum that’s maybe a good option when you’ve narrowed it down a bit. As it’s a fixed price repair I expect they make their money by collecting £99 when it’s just brushes or another low cost part.

Thanks again for the advice.

Re: Hotpoint WMA44 woes

Yep, especially if it saves me £95!

Re: Hotpoint WMA44 woes

Thanks. Just checked and it’s OK – there are 2 lugs on 1 side of the connector and 1 on the other to help with orientation.

Re: Hotpoint WMA44 woes

Thanks penguin.
Will check the triacs on the controller and the wiring. Looks like a new controller should sort it as everthing else seems OK.

Re: How to swap out Zanussi DA6141 IWMS – vent grill removal

Indeed it does 🙂

Needed a bit more force than I’d originally wanted to give. But given your advice I pushed a bit harder and it started to move.

Thanks!

Re: Zanussi DE6855 NOT filling?

Hi. Trying to clean out the IWMS on a Zanussi DA6141. There’s a vent between the main cavity and the IWMS with a grill over it – how do I remove the grill so I can remove the IWMS?

Will get a new unit from shop@ but hopefully this will get it working in the meantime. Unit is currently only doing 3-4 washes at a time before having to remove the inlet pipe (seems to reset a pressure switch).

Thanks,
John.
