    Re: running modern L.G. washer on generator.

    thanks for all the advice. in the end when i got there she had an ancient miele so i fixed that instead. i’ll certainly bear all this in mind for the future as i am in a rural area.
    thanks

    Re: Belling Hob rings out of control!!

    hi seamy
    found this post of yours on google.
    i have a punter with an E641 belling
    masterpart are showing the part as 012590800 quite pricey. picture has a link wire.
    do you know if the much cheaper 082611723 will fit/
    in past i have replaced these with ego regs after working out how to wire them but i’ve lost my plan. so fitting these cheaper gen parts would be better.
    thanks

    Re: Kenwood duel fuel ck 404 Gas Safe ?

    my rule is that if you have to disturb the top, DONT do it. Its not worth the potential consequenses. i do however change oven elements in dual fuel if i only need to remove back.

    not being flippant but it probably the same crowd who make LUXOR simply because of the egyptian type name. trouble is i don’t know where they come from either.

    Re: hotpoint dishwasher pcb repair

    when boards fail to allow heat you usually find that its the relay connections that have overheated and failed. if you look on underside its usually really obvious. very common on bosch.

    Re: Hotpoint washer dryer WD420P

    i’ve had machines of various hotpoint models particularly wf giving ntc faults and some doing weird things. in each case a brand new ntc has not cured the problem. however i’ve referred them to hotpoint who’ve fitted new modules to fix it.
    hope this helps

    Re: ignis adl348 dishwasher – non draining. 4 flashes repeat

    look to right side of sump with the filter out. you’ll see a ciculat black mesh. is it full of grease etc. behind this mesh is a diafram and a microswitch. this will give a four flash error if its empty and filling and a two flash error if its full and draining. if it does look choked up then remove the sump water with sponge or similar then fill sump with boiling water to clear the gunge. DO NOT poke anything through the mesh.
    this is the simplest repair method if not then the switch assembly may have to be removed and replaced. the water in the base may be due to overfilling or the membrane in this switch may have perished.
    hope this helps

    Re: whirlpool awg 280

    a 280 is as basic as it gets. however number 1 is prewash 2 is 95 and so on 5 is non fast colourds. the temp knob is to wash at recommended temp or less but not more. a is final rinse and spin. numbers 6 and higher are delicates and from memory i think 9 is wool. otherwise number 5 at 40 will cover most washes in about 45minutes.

    Re: Ignis ADL349/A/1 circ motor

    if this is the motor with the integral heater in the impellor housing then it will be the more expensive one. godknows why they fit these after the history of failure with the first askoll pumps.

    even a £2.99 multimeter would give you at least a continuity reading on the element. i have a seaward supernova plus pat tester. it’s the dogs b******* but it cant tell me if the elements open circuit unless its on heat cycle during a power-up test.
    like the guys say, get yourself a stand alone insulation tester and you’d have diagnosed the elements status straight away.
    finally of course it could take out a fuse. lets say that when it failed it went down to earth but since cooling off that earth fault has “healed” itself.
    oven elements do this all the time.

    Re: smeg dishwasher di612c washes stops starts stops starts

    shouldn’t the solenoid be more like 3.5? my smeg used to do all sorts of weird things until i pinched the coil from a water valve and fitted it to the dispenser. other than that, i praise god every day that my smeg keeps working.
