Re: Siemens D/Washer Identification Label Scrubbed Off
Would you `Adam and Eve` it, I have another of these heaters go down today, this time open cct heater.
Is the heater assy the same – 096942? This is a Neff built in S4466N1GB/12.
I had a closer look at the fitting of this unit, seems it could be a bit of a pig; is it? Any advice most welcome.
Thanks again for your input.

Re: What’s the nicest things customers say or do?
Living in rural Somerset I get given home grown veg, wine, eggs. Just yesterday was offered some homemade fruit cake but had to decline because I had just eaten. That did`nt stop her though, she duly wrapped it up in some foil and gave it me to take home. I love my customers and my job.
But taking a lead from gegsey`s experience. Quite a number of years ago I was just leaving a customers house, she was standing at the door saying goodbye to me and I was smiling and thanking her and saying goodbye also when half way down the path she voices those imortal words you`ve always wanted to hear, “I expect you satisfy all your women”. Realisation dawns, the door closes behind her…I was never invited back 😥

Re: What’s the most illogical fault you’ve had to find?
Remember the old early Hotpoint motors with the 6 tags, double banked. The machine fault would be `no motor action`. Easy peasy, module, or brushes. You check the brushes…ok, by pass the module to see if the motor works, it does`nt so the motor plug is removed and you check its circuits…all ok. Hmmm.
In those days it was easy to carry a couple of motors and modules, so you try both…no motor action still. This is were you mentally settle in for a longer job. Timer checked for burnt contacts…ok, harness checked for scuffed and blown leads…ok. Go through it all again, still no motor action.
One last check, lets take a closer look at the motor harness plug. Check if pins are secure in slots, pull the leads to do this and `hey presto`, one of the leads pulls away from the back of the tag. The conductor had broken close to the tag but the insulation had remained intact 👿 .
After that first one I always checked future repairs on these machines and found a number of others that had not yet shown the symptom. Its funny how elated you feel when you get a result on this kind of repair, or is it just me 😀 .

Re: Frozen Veg in Crisper of Hotpoint FF Fridge/Freezer FFA7
Hi Recall,
Have not yet visited the customer but she does say there is a buildup of ice on the back wall of the fridge. The machine is 2 years old.

Re: Won`t Start – Diplomat ADP8242 D/washer
I have operated the door lock independantly whilst door open to test this and is ok. I suspect that even if this had occured, because selecting prog is done with door open then sequencing the programms by pressing the selector button should still take place, which it is`nt. 🙁
Thanks for your input on this.

Re: Won`t Start – Diplomat ADP8242 D/washer
Thanks Folks,
In view of the cost of the board and the fact that the recirc pump is leaking; I will return and check solenoid then give the customer options.
Thanks again, as always very much appreciated.
