    Re: Whirlpool S20DRSS10 Fault

    CF does mean control failure, and unfortunatly you will need both control boards, and yes, there very expensive.

    There really easy to replace, so as long as it is unplugged, it should be a straight forward swap.

    I would have it repaired, £200 for a £1000 isnt bad!

    is it an LCD display or has it got the green lines for a display?

    Re: Hoover whisper error 1

    just looked in the tech. forum and it says E1 is timed out on either fill heat or drain, which means its taken to long to do one of those.


    Have you checked your filter? If you generate a lot of washing you may have lost a sock or maybe even some coins, I think it will probably be a drainage fault, also check that the drain hose is no more than 5″ into the stand pipe, this could cause the water to syphon out the machine.

    Power off if you want to investigate further.

    Check the hoses arnt kinked as well.

    If you are unsure, call ur engineer.

    I love these dishdrawers, so easy to work on. Had to change the loom for the top drawer the other day, took just over an hour, but it was very very easy.

    any issues, just ask, i to have manuals for the dish drawers.

    how many times does it bleep, or flash.

    sounds like a problem with the “flow meter” flashing 6/7 times indicates flow meter failure.

    If it bleeps after the dispencer has opened it could very well be an NTC failure, you sometimes can get a resistance reading from them, but it may still be faulty.

    The control board will do 1 flash and pause if it is the NTC.

The led is off on the ice detector which i’ve read elsewhere indicates a fault on the optical circuit. not only this though but the ‘eject paddles’ are part way through a harvest cycle.

    has the appliance been making knocking noises at all? When you dispence the water, does it spurt out, or is there a smooth flow?

    If its been knocking and water has been jumping, you need to replace the control board at the back – if the serial number is older the xx04, you need to replace the front control unit as well. very costly.

    the LED in the freezer will only flash a “fault” in test mode.

    If you do need to replace the boards, power off, should be easy enough to change.

    Re: LG American style fridge freezer

    not had any experience with this particular appliance, but as long as there is good suction on the doors when you open them (there should be at least a little bit of resistance) and also check around the seal with the door closed to make sure the seal is tight to the cabinet.

    If warm air is getting in there, the compressor would have to work harder, but dont worry about how much it comes on and goes off, there is no particular pattern, it all depends on how the appliance is used. (ie how many times you open the door, etc.)

    If there is warm air getting in there, you might notice a build up of ice, or condensation forming inside around air vents and maybe elsewhere.

    If the seals arn’t tight enough, warm them up with a hair dryer and stretch them a little (pull from door towards you, not vertical!)

    My husband has cleaned the filter and we still have the problem. I really looks like the 40 degree wash is a cold wash as even pen marks do not go off and they usually do and there is also powder marks on dark T shirt. I use Arial tablets and have done for years so I wouldn’t have though they would be the problem.

    Is it the thersmosta?


    It wouldn’t be the thermostat, if it was the machine would pick the fault up and move to the spanner, the thermostats are “NTC” which means they are controlled by the electronics. If you try using a descaler, and doing regular boil washes, this will help.

    Also check to see if the water is draining away properly, as above, poor drainage, poor performance. And the plastic cover on the door doesnt get that hot on low temperatures so you probably wouldnt notice on a 40 wash.

    these new machines use less water than older models, if you put to much washing in there you will get powder marks, also you could try using the liquitabs, i find there better in newer machines.

    Re: A choice of 3

    I wouldn’t go for the Hotpoint, because there no where near as reliable as they used to be, the LG’s are hard to get spares for if they go wrong, Bosch have a very good reputation, and are reasonably priced, so I would go with the Bosch.

    Re: Whirlpool (built in)

    If you wobble the timer knob, does the machine start then? if it does, the timer is faulty, it is common on the older ones, other than that you should call an engineer.

    in reply to: whirlpool wdp 2440 problem #192051

    Re: whirlpool wdp 2440 problem

    4 flashes on a Whirlpool is a drainage problem, is it brand new? check the installation, maybe a bung in the sink trap, or drainhose pushed into the standpipe to far?


    has there been a broken glass in there?, take the filters out and feel inside the sump to see if anyting is there. If not, power off, remove the plinths make sure you have towells handy, because you will get wet! the pump is just a twist lock, push the clip down and twist the pump anti clockwise and you have access the the impellor.

    (presuming the model is a full size dishwasher)

    Re: Diplomat ADP8234 PC fault

    Is the start light flashing? count how many flashes there are before a pause, and the number of flashes will reveal a fault code, let me know and i can tell you what the problem is.


    the normal codes are 2 flashes – machine leak, 4 flashes – drainage problem, 6/7 flashes – either water inlet problem or “flow meter” failure.

    Re: Zanussi buzzing sound

    I have the same trouble with my zanussi DW. it is either the inlet valve or the soap dispencer valve – but doing the job allday, i havent botherd to check it out yet because the machine is still working ok.

    On mine the buzzing happens for about 1 minuet at the start of the program.

    Im going to have a look this weekend and if i remember i will post what i find.

    Re: Fairy Liquid Disaster – Whirlpool DWF416 (IKEA built in)

    once you have cleaned the baseplate of water you will need to reset the appliance, do this by holding down the start button for about 10 seconds to clear the fault, and test the appliance again.

    Regards,

    There could be a few reasons why it might not be heating, some dishwashers have a “TOC” which is normally a resettable switch. If you have a look under the appliance (with the power off) and see if you can see a thermostat with a little button on it, press the button in, if it clicks, problem solved, if it doesnt – time to look elsewhere. If you have a buzz tester, test the continuity across the heater and see if it buzzes, if it does, great, if not – replace the heater.

    If your uncertain about doing it yourself, call out an engineer to check for you.

    If the machine has an NTC (electronic thermostat) you wont get a bell test reading from it.
