Re: Liebherr error code f4 evaporator sensor
No.
There are two in that unit, both now changed to the same kit, this one:

Re: Liebherr error code f4 evaporator sensor
You need the service number to be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} sure as there’s probably many versions of the model, finding that is explained here:

Re: BUSH washing machine door seal WMNSX914W
They’ve thought it was a Vestel one, it’s not.
It’s a Chinese one, Haier or Midea most likely but there’s no info on it at all.
0800 I think did service on them, they may know but outside that there’s no known support for them.

Re: Amazon Installations?
Amazon, Ebay et all most probably don’t understand but since we’re on the topic of Amazon…
Openly, the stated aim of Amazon is to sell everything to everyone.
Simple, eh?
And most people here will see Amazon as just that, a big shop in the cloud that occasionally gets hauled over the coals about tax, worker’s rights and conditions etc in the news.
What many if not most don’t know is that Amazon is way more than that.
Giving Amazon your data is an extremely dangerous thing to do and, all the companies that sell stuff on Amazon are, in my opinion and that of many others, committing commercial suicide by a thousand cuts and although a sponsored video, this explains a lot you probably don’t know as well as explains why that this is:
[youtube:2tnoou8w]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyohSu-Ft_U[/youtube:2tnoou8w]
Prime Delivery, a lot of pricing, ease of buying stuff and so on are only a fraction of what Amazon is which is, like Google, Facebook etc, a great big hungry data monster.
So the people that sell through Amazon do so till it gets to the point where they see lines becoming popular enough, they stock them and your sales fall off a cliff as the Amazon listing takes precedence over all others. Oh and if you do keep selling if it gets volume, it’s got to be on Prime and you have to pay for Amazon to store and fulfil the orders so, you make massively less if anything at all.
Oh, and of course all the while, it’s Amazon’s rules, not yours.
It gets to the point where you have to use them to an extent or way as they are so prevalent online but, my advice, avoid as much as you can for as long as you can.
Unless that is you are happy with all that, once you know of course just what devil you’re dancing with.

Re: Give up on Smeg fridge freezer?
Yup, mix metals, exposed to stuff they ought not to be and sure, that’ll happen.
But, there is *always* cause.

Re: Give up on Smeg fridge freezer?
Generally, without an external factor in effect, copper will not leak or become porous for at least 20-25 years. Well beyond the expected working life of most any domestic refrigeration unit.
Faulty joints maybe but very rare given most internal pipework have none to mitigate that risk. And again, a leaky joint will show up in days or weeks, not years later unless it’s been physically damaged in some way. Internally to damage it involves piercing a pipe on most, somehow.
In other words and I’m merely stating fact not being argumentative, holes in pipes do not appear as if by magic without cause.
And yes, pumping more gas into it is not only a fool’s errand but also potentially dangerous as has been proven a few times.
You seen the stats from the like of Liebherr and others Tony, it’s scary?

Re: Give up on Smeg fridge freezer?
What Dave is trying to put in the nicest possible way is that internal leaks don’t magically appear out of nowhere.
It’s a myth. Often one used by some to avoid repairing a machine properly or, often by some that haven’t the knowledge/skill/experience to diagnose the problem correctly.
Sounds plausible to those that don’t know any better, i.e. customers most often but it’s normally complete and utter horse manure so the attending technician doesn’t have to fix it.
How do I know this, I get info on returns that have “internal leaks” that 99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} or more do not have such a thing and are successfully repaired and resold by a number of brands. So this is not without foundation by any stretch.
Now, the next thing you need to understand is that people, insurers and manufacturers will not pay for the job to be done properly as it takes time to fix refrigeration and that can be hours worth of work, sometimes even multiple visits as it takes ages to see stuff happening. If nobody will foot the bill, the guys will have little option but to find a way out of saying to you, not as bluntly as I will, that they don’t get paid appropriately to actually repair the product and that the cost to do so, will often run to £200+ which is all too often more than the machine is worth.
But the whole gas thing is explained here:
http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/fix- … gerant-gas
Fact is, the unit almost certainly will not have an internal leak as, if it’s an R600a based system if it did, it’d have failed long, long ago… within days of purchase.
Getting good fridge repairers is hard these days as most are not especially well trained or versed in how they actually work. In the bad old days it took two years to make a fridge guy, these days you’re lucky if they get 2-6 weeks training then let loose on the world.
The modern consumerist throwaway society at work I’m afraid.
Not enough repairs so, not enough repairers and not enough experience of doing it coupled with not enough money to train people and not enough money in repairs to fix them properly.

Sounds like a thermostat fault and if so it’s this one used:

Re: What’s the meaning of clockwise or anti-clockwise motors
Are you sure that’s what’s on the plate as there will be multiple versions, looking online for something that looks the same is a mistake many people make thinking that if it looks the same, it’ll be the same and have the same bits in it and I’m afraid that simply is not true.
The only place to reliably find out what it is and by extension what parts are used is by finding the rating plate in the hood and getting the correct model and product codes from that. Anything else and it’s all too likely any parts will be incorrect as well as any information about the product.

Re: What’s the meaning of clockwise or anti-clockwise motors
I should have thought it pretty simple, to pull more air in a smaller frame where there’s not the space for a larger motor. So you get a high extraction rate with a smaller footprint.
But they do need to be correct for the hood or you will have issues if you can even physically fit them let alone connect them electrically without blowing the switches or board.

Re: What’s the meaning of clockwise or anti-clockwise motors
Without that there’s no way to tell you much of anything at all, it is essential.
Not having it is akin to walking into Ford and say, “I have a Ford I need a part but don’t know what Ford I have”.

Re: What’s the meaning of clockwise or anti-clockwise motors
I’d need model information as would anyone to look and find out.
