    Re: Smeg SE2773TC

    hi,i found this reply on a website which may be helpfull for error 3
    Can I make a suggestion. There could be a misconfiguration with the control board that needs to be reset.
    Firstly switch off the appliance and disconnect from the mains.
    Reconnect and Press and Hold the Minus key ‘-‘
    While holding the minus key press keys 1 through 4 in turn within 4 seconds. Each key press will give an audible beep.
    Once done you should get a ‘C’ displayed for each ring element.
    Now place a pan of water on one element. Press the Plus key ‘+’ next to the element ring and wait for the ‘C’ to change to ‘-‘.
    Repeat that for each element and once complete the appliance will switch off.
    Reconfiguration is now complete and you can use the appliance as normal.

    Re: LG washer

    Dead easy – think WMA – 2 hrs max and all the wiring is colour coded to the relevant plug so no problem there – QUALITY !!. One thing i will suggest is beware of cheap bearings if it`s a direct drive . Because the motor is so quiet , any noisy bearing will sound ten times worse when installed and the cheapo ones can sound very rough even when spun on your fingers – SKF are good …

    Tried all the above but couldn`t get the level up . Another problem was filling into the conditioner section , just the one shot and then went into wash keeping the level low and leaving the powder in the wash section . Like i mentioned before , i steer clear of the conversion now … 🙁

    Re: wf conversion problem

    Had this twice when i`ve rebuilt using a split drum to replace the sealed one and never got to the bottom of it .
    I put it down to the pressure vessel being of a totally different molded design – whatever pressure switch i tried no improvement , i even tried various bores of tubing but all to no avail …
    I now avoid `em like the plague !!

    Re: HOTPOINT WMA interlock chip / board fault

    ——————————————————————————–
    HOTPOINT WMA – symtoms :- interlock fails to lock , light flashing .
    If the door switch is fine and you suspect a board problem – Easy enough to sort if the damage is visible .

    There is a 3mm x 2mm chip on the bottom left hand side easily distinguished by three prongs out the top and a single square plate attatchment at the bottom all soldered . check the chip for blown surface damage and of course track damage . Repair track damage and change the chip with one off a scrap board …….
    usually sorts things out .

    L.M.T.G.O.W.I – You are probably correct , bin a while since i`ve tinkered with an older WD , sorry for the confusion but thought it might help .

    Re: zanussi zwf fails to go to wash cycle.

    Checking the motor tacho is a good place to start . On the end of the motor , two wires leading up to it – magnet on the end of the armature seems prone to unscrewing itself ……

    Good luck .
