Re: Loss of power to ADP 8224 dishwasher (possibly SMEG)
No, it’s further into the machine in that case then.
Door wiring harness would be a good bet.

Re: Another W-T-F Moment In Media
300 fires in five years.
27 million homes.
That’s 60 a year.
No evidence or report of what, why, were, when or even if it was a real fire but let’s assume they all are.
That’s a 0.000002{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} chance of it happening to you or anyone else.
Or, if you like, in any given year is if my working is correct, about 0.5 chance in a million.
I like my odds thanks. I’ve got more pressing problems to loose sleep over.

Check the door lock microswitch, the bit you’ve labelled “What is this unit for?”.

Look at that video Martin.
Spot the glaringly obvious error if you translate that to real life.

Re: AEG Competence D8100-1 Power PCB
It is obsolete completely now so unless you happen across someone that purely by chance has one kicking about I’m afraid you won’t get one now.
I wouldn’t hold too much hope of that as expensive parts like that tend very much only to be ordered as and when required and not held on stock for most.

Re: Another W-T-F Moment In Media
So, what you’re saying then is you know better than the combined wisdom of the BSI and various EU safety and fire regulation authorities then?
Most pundits slinging their comments about have nothing other than opinion and what they might read in the daily rag to go on? The British tabloid press, such a wealth of truth, accuracy and detail eh?
I’m sorry but this really irritates me as honestly, there’s bugger all evidence to support that whatsoever Martin, it simply does not exist.
And you need to use injected foam in the cabinets and there’s more concerns than flammability there, you also need to meet the “save the polar bear” demands on the use of CFC etc, effectiveness to insulate, customer expectations on capacity, costs and a bunch of other stuff. Then atop that you need to meet all international standards.
You don’t just wave a magic wand and solve it all.
Moreover, the volume of fires caused as a result of incidents by appliances is virtually insignificant by volume and, according to one source, greater than 64{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of those can be laid directly at the feet of users/owners for failures in use, misuse, mis-installation and so on.
So the whole “appliance fires” thing as mooted here is complete b—–cks a total waste of time and effort.

Re: Another W-T-F Moment In Media
Uhm… no.
Show me the EVIDENCE for that please.
I think you’ll find things a little lacking there other than cries from the media and some finger waggling. But evidence, there ain’t none.
And you’re factually wrong on the Beko issue, that was with the defrost timer, I suspect due to water ingress. So, sorry but it has bog all to do with defrost heaters.
As to Grenfell, well no. There’s no evidence that points to the appliance as yet and probably won’t be until the investigation is completed but, the LFB apparently attended and extinguished that, then when leaving happened to notice the side of the building was on fire.
So again, no evidence and lots of doubts over the actual causality.
And you can’t make fires impossible, only a complete fool would declare such a thing about a product oh wait, someone did, they said that the Titanic was unsinkable. That turned out well eh?
But all the above doesn’t address the core issue which is that, if the insulation goes up then something’s caused that to happen and it need to be a pretty intense heat for a sustained period to allow that to happen.
Ask any of the fridge guys that have braze with a turbo torch just how easy it is to light up insulation. It ain’t as flammable by far as is being made out in this tripe.
So insulation going on fire, metal backs and all that malarky are a side show, not really worthy of note.

Re: Another W-T-F Moment In Media
Martin, it’s like saying we should ban all wooden garden huts as they burn and we should all ditch them, go out and buy metal ones.
It is absurd.
They may well burn but so does everything around them.
Are they the cause, is that backing and insulation the cause? No, it isn’t.
So it’s not addressing any problem at all.
All it’s doing is putting the LFB and Which? in the news and getting a few lines of copy, that’s it.

Re: Lamona LM3100 Oven – Power works intermittently
Overheating perhaps, cooling fan, thermostat/s or clock.

Re: Help with dryer
If it’s in warranty then it’ll probably be a motor he’s ordered and my advice, wait.

Re: Delonghi coffee machine Issue (ESAM 5600)
There has to be an instantaneous heater of some sort, a valve to pull the milk through it and at guess stats built onto the heater all controlled by the board.
I’d think the milk pulled from the container by the pump will be pulled by one of those small vibrating pump things they all seem to use that looks awfully like a small valve in some cases.
K.
Re: Delonghi coffee machine Issue (ESAM 5600)
Quite a packed machine that one and, no service manual as such.
At a guess something to do with the milk boiler/heater or the pump for milk but, that is a best guess.

Re: Tablet door not opening.
It’ll be the dispenser that needs to be replaced in order to resolve that, this part:
