Re: WPL AWZ341
don’t know if this helps at all. about last year i went to a t.d. not starting or lighting up. it turned out that behind the start button cover there is a hinged plastic part of the p.c.b. housing which is meant to press against the on-board tactile switch. well this plastic bit had fallen of (plastic fatigue) on so the button cover was unable to reach.
Re: smeg e2
i can’t give you a specific answer, but try this.
i own a smeg (against better judgement), it was giving all sorts of error messages which were not consistent. i spent hours on it until someone got me to check the soap box solenoid coil. hey presto it was open circuit. pinched one off a washer valve made it fit and all errors disappeared.
other than that i haven’t a clueRe: Belling IDW 603
all i can say is try to identify the part of the board thats damaged. i.e. if its near the heater relay check it out. and so on. solder it back together if its not too bad, then put a megger on the machine and try to find the fault.
what might be encouraging is that i’ve soldered up a couple of dishy boards lately and not found any cause and they’re still going yet.
i’m afraid i’ve no belling specific info though.Re: zanussi fle1015e no display
take out the main circuit board and look for an accumulation of black dust. (carbon dust attracted by static electric) clean the whole lot off and try it again. also if it’s got one, just make sure the blue wired multiplug is snugly fitted to the display board.
Re: siemens wtxl1100gb/01 fd8410 part no 496079
thanks guys.
i had a feeling that it would be cheaper on another machine.Re: aeg slimline d/w
forgive me if i’m wrong.
i’ve had a few lux group dishwashers lately where the transformer on the circuit board has burnt out. you can solder in another which is about four quid from r.s. or i’ve also pinched one from a recent indesit washer board.
in each case the transformer was visibly over heated.Re: whirlpool dryer
i had a hotpoint dryer doing this once. when it cut out i couldn’t find anything wrong. when i tried it again it cut out after a while but this time because the customer happened to turn off the radio, i could hear the wall socket fizzing. so basically it was a poor connection at the wall being stressed by the current drawn by the tumbler.
it’s a long shot, but don’t rule it out.Re: PAT Test failure
of couse that should be wear two hats. i’ll spend some of my £2.50 on a dictionary.
Re: PAT Test failure
£2.50 actually.
i where both hats as an appliance repairer and a pat tester.
don’t knock it though cos we are grossing £50k and growing fast.
i’m also a lifeboat crew member and can tell you i’ve saved a lot more lives pat testing.Re: white knight t/d
if you remove the heater and complete back panel, you will see the path which the water takes from the condenser into the sump where the pump is.there will be a piece of soggy fluff trapped in the lowest part of the water channel. this allows water to build up and flow over the blocked drain and into the fan housing. as said before, if you’ve stripped it this far you might as well take out the drum and clean the whole thing.
oh i forgot to mention thet the offending fluff will be found if you remove the section which is held in place by two silver slide clips.Re: Whirlpool Dishwasher NTC test
the symptoms you’ve got are the same as one i repaired with a new ntc. but the confusing thing was that the resistance on both the faulty one and the replacement one were virtually the same.
when it sprung to life and has worked for months since, i don’t know why.Re: wpl dishwaser
so far they’ve been correct for every one i’ve done so far. the onlt exception was a constant flashing which turned out to be the temp sensor.(even though when put on the meter it read the same as the new one).
i can’t say def yes or no to yours but i’d expect them to apply.Re: Creda – Indesit Tumble dryers?
yes i agree it’s 15 mins on average. i just use a big screwdriver to lever the belt onto the motor pulley. i have seen a few that were also scraping on the back of the casing. i solve this by fitting a couple of washers on the drum spindle.
Re: large syringe
i use a hoover aquamaster.
it impresses the punters and unblocks just about anything. on a busy day i’ll bet it saves me two hours. that is draining down machines and getting scummy water left in dishwashers etc.
it may sound over the top, but i promise you if you try one you’ll never go out without it.
