Re: Zanussi D/W no heat
pcb doesnt have to be burnt to stop working. did zanussi couple of weeks ago. get a very good look at relay contacts these seamed ok but were infact cracked around joint. resoldered and away she went with original relay.
Re: Can I run a Bosch washing machine motor off a mains lead
simple
fit the carbons and run the motor off the machine. if its not ok take out the carbons and carefully file down the burnt sections with a flat file. of course on all carbon changes file the outer edges off anyway to allow for groove in armature. doesnt really add much time to the job. done half a dozen bsh last week.Re: amica washing machine fault
i have one of these which cuts out completely for less than a second and then back on and repeats this. did you manage to get yours going? as far as i can see there aren’t any codes its more a total loss of power then back on.
anyone know cost of a board for this?Re: Why do some oven elements last longer than others
i find that elements are generally o.k. wether pattern or genuine. however there is one exception and that is the bosch/neff ones. and especially the “horse shoe” bosch.
i give a 12 months warranty and bosch/neff are the only ones that i have doubt as to if they’ll last it out.Re: Bosch WF02866GB/07 NO SPIN
yes ive had this again today. motor and heater meggered fine. in the past i’ve concluded module and sort of confirmed it by aquiring the duff machines and using the motors elsewhere.
i too am interested in running a test cycle/diagnostics. does anyone know how to do it.
kRe: kenwood kdw23a e3
Thanks for capacitor tip. With regards to other comments thank you but it was heating to correct temp. (used digi thermometer). And it was spraying.
KRe: wp adg450-3 wont finish
reviving this as ive been to one today which works perfectly until last rinse and begins pulsing with a burst of spray pump. i immeadiately suspected the module thinking that some component was breaking down after being on a while. i cancelled the cycle and put it straight back on and it started working ok again. couldn’t wait around so asked customer to watch it. again it began pulsing on final rinse.
is this definately the module? or have you found some other reason and gandhi what happened to resolve the one you had.( if you can remember)
keithRe: Smeg DW1612C Dishwasher
yes this usually means the board is faulty. some where on this site is an explaination of which parts on the board to replace. i know one of them is the grey square capacitor. i have tried this but have not had a 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} success rate. a new board for this is £140+. i have a good one but i go to so many of these that i daren’t let it go.
keithRe: Smeg DWI612C
you will see posts about faults with the dispenser solenoid. they can cause spurious symptoms so as a last resort you could meter it and see what it reads. it IS possible to fit a robbed wm solenoid coil if you use a bit of ingenuity.
however by far the most common problem i’ve had with these is that it leaks during fill. if you remove the right side panel you’ll see the air break unit located to the sump. if you run it with the side panel off, look for a leak at the o rings. if it is leaking then remove the unit and the o rings. i simply “build up the diameter of the tube with ptfe tape and then refit the o ring which will now have a tighter fit. a bit of sealant would be good as well.the other common faults are a build up of gunge in the passage from that unit to the sump.
a small item intermittently jamming the drain pump.
a new 6mf capacitor for the spray pump
and finally the dreaded pulsing action which is the main board £140.00. another poster has had success in repairing the board.
i have fixed one and failed three times.if it is the board i usually sell them a brand new beko for around £240 fitted.
anyone else please feel free to add to this list.

Re: Smeg DWI612C
no. but do you have a specific problem?
there are a couple of common faults that i get all the time.
keithRe: zanussi impeller kit
once youve drained the water out of the sump the motor is out incouple of minutes. there is a small screw in the impellor which once removed it should just slide off. put new one on with smear of grease.
all things considered should be no more than half hour.
keithRe: fabric softner drawer driving me mad!
thanks don
i think £20 is a bit steep to try and sell on to the customer. i think i’ll just let them find it themselves from where ever.and ken i’ve read the article, thanks. pretty much what i’ve been telling everyone for ages. it just seems that lately its being mentioned more and more by customers.

Re: fabric softner drawer driving me mad!
done a bit more digging and come up with “Affresh” looks like its a good product. does anyone know of a good trade price?
Re: fabric softner drawer driving me mad!
hi
i’m going to tag on to this thread. i’m getting more and more customers moaning about smells usually in bosch machines.i’ve explained about liquid detergent/fabric conditioner etc. i’ve recommended the usual cleaners but they don’t seem to work. short of stripping out the drum i wonder does anyone have a definate product or other remedy to dislodge the sludge?
thanks
keith
