Re: Candy Smart touch washing machine series – any good?
Money is better spent on something that is actually better quality and doesn’t need a new tank when the pressure chamber gets blocked up. 😉
To be fair that’s cheap for a connected machine but then, it’s about $10 worth of parts to enable it for wi-fi/BT. Usually they’d spank people up for at least £100 for that.

Re: Candy Smart touch washing machine series – any good?
Nope not really, I love gadgets as well but, not pointless waste of money ones.
Washing machine programs, if they are not on this page for domestic and some commercial ones that may apply to domestic…
http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/stai … sh-symbols
… do not exist in the eyes of the detergent industry, professional laundry industry, textile industry, clothing manufacturing industry and so on.
In other words, all these stupid programs they come up with to sell you a pile of excrement, are completely made up, Hans Christian Andersen would be made proud and, his works probably more truthful.
If you want to waste money on pointless tripe that may well ruin your clothes, fill your boots as they say.
Candy, Bosch, Samsung, LG et all and, they’re all at it now and are living in a deluded cloud cuckoo land with tech. Almost none of it integrates with much anything else other than their own proprietary systems so, pointless in terms of automation.
That’s so you have to buy more of their stuff, even if it’s junk as it can’t talk to anything else.
They use weird protocols.
They get dropped in terms of support.
They often can’t even play nice with certain brands or OSs that they’re supposed to work on.
And security, don’t even get me started. A wet paper bag would be more secure.
Trust in this, I know more about this than most people and understand it completely, it’s is a waste of time as things stand, utterly pointless.

andy_from_ireland wrote:love gadgets me – and I love to show them off to visitors to the house “oh wow , I love your washing machine! – its fab, look at all the features” and i am alway’s saying that with normal washing machines with 15 programmes there are still sometimes not one that suits. These Candy Smart ones have something like 40 to choose from and you can download them and transfer them to the washing machine by NFC – absolutely cool!
Andy, please take this the right way, tongue firmly in cheek, but…
That’s the most pointless drivel I’ve read in ages. 😉
Wash programs for clothing are determined by the GINETEX, HLCC and in the UK the UK Fashion & Textile Association.
They are NOT set by washing machine makers.
Therefore, unless all those organisations change something (extremely unlikely) there is absolutely and utterly, absolutely no point or use in downloading new programs as they don’t exist.
If you do, you’re using a wash program that is not approved by the detergent manufacturers or the textile industry so, if they wreck stuff… tough on you.
So all those “cool” programs, completely useless tripe to part idiots that don’t know any better from their cash for BS that they don’t need… bluntly put.
So any of your friends and neighbours that have the gumption to research this or, happen across this post will know what it’s all about and may well just think… what a muppet. 😉
Then as they know that, might try to extract some cash from you as you clearly have more of that than sense.
Now I know that all might seem harsh but I’m trying to get the message through to yourself and others that follow that this stuff is complete and utter BS, a total waste of your money.

Re: Hotpoint WM. Conditioner not taken
This article explains how they work:
http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/fix- … ner-issues
So if both valves open, it’s all clear and clean then pretty much the only explanation for it not taking conditioner (even though you don’t actually need it) is low water pressure.
It can’t be fault as, aside a faulty valve or a blockage, there’s not a single thing to go wrong.

Re: Passivent
I’m sure I came across that at some point Mark but, can’t recall why.
TBH remote motor extractors are superb in some circumstances, way better than local systems for some things, think hotels, linked toilets and so on. It actually makes a heap of sense to do it that way, in the right circumstances. For domestic multi dwellings, take a central vent stack up through an old listed building, get one vent to outside, expel everything through that. Saves money, hassle and planning issues.
Hence my experience of such systems, they used a number on listed buildings being renovated in Glasgow to cut down on cost and hassle asides which, they are actually better in such installations.
In essence though think of them like this…
Some sort of control and, it can be as dumb as it switches on with a timer from a light switch to, complete electronic control. And with some, the timer is a complication not employed.
A motor that draws air from the room to outside air installed somewhere in the ducting. depending on the spec, a single motor can serve multiple rooms or dwellings.
And, that’s about it really.
Not exactly technically challenging.
As is often the case, the tough bit is working out what’s where and what controls it.

Re: Hotpoint FFA40X – Lights on no-one at home!

Re: Hotpoint FFA40X – Lights on no-one at home!
Nope.
Without seeing how it’s all wired and whatnot could be shorted, then you’d get a reading where you shouldn’t like, live or neutral to earth. But honestly it’s a simple setup so if it’s dead then you’ve got two choices the PTC/relay and the pot.
The PTC you probably will struggle to get, seen that a lot recently on Hotpoint as they keep swapping the pots they use, obsoleting the older version so you need to replace the pot to change a PTC. I know, crazy but it’s what they do.
Therefore, chances are that irrespective, you’d end up in the same place just more stressed and annoyed after searching for an age you can’t get.
You could try a universal relay/PTC or if like us you had some kicking about you could try but, aside that you’ll probably struggle to get one to even try it.

Re: Hotpoint FFA40X – Lights on no-one at home!
Sounds like the compressor is fried, shouldn’t be anything else in the way really so long as the relay/PTC is ok.

Inner left wall in the fridge, there should be a sticker with all that on it in there somewhere.
