Re: ARISTON AWD12 FILLING.
Anything over £100 round here is practically certain to be considered BER even in the occasional cases where I think otherwise. Actually, I think I did tell them only six months on the board, though, so safe there. TBH, if they get through a fortnight, they normally go OK for a couple of years AFAIK.
I think I’ll try the mark up technique next time though, rather than just say no, but it’ll be BER over the phone most likely (usually is at £90).
Mike.Re: ARISTON AWD12 FILLING.
Got re-con module from EMW. Fitted yesterday. Did all the usual checks to make sure of connections etc. All worked fine.
Get phone call this morning. Two full washes went through fine, now timer rotating and 15 flashes. That is a totally different fault from what it had before which was overfilling & valve(s) not shutting off.
I’m wishing I had just said no. I charged £90 total for job. Take £50 off that for module exchange and return post and it leaves me with £40 and I guarantee it for a year. 8 mile round trip for each visit, two so far, 3rd booked. Note to self: Next time say NO! (Mitigating circumstances were that machine hadn’t been much used as is in second home.)
15 flashes, assuming customer counted correctly, is “dryer relay” according to error codes.
Going back Monday to have a look. Still have original module as wasn’t going to post office till Monday, so might spend a bit of time giving it a bit of study. Could not find any shorted triacs on brief examination at house yesterday.
Mike.Re: Looking for an old Eaton p/sw 2-level w. metal edge clam
All went back in today. Used a large jubilee clip round the old metal surround to hold it all firmly back together. Working great now. Machine should be good for another 10 years at least.
Mike.Re: Friday afternoon Quiz – Zan ZWF1437 – E40 fault
OK. He got door off, bent it back into shape, then put it back skewiff.
Or, machine was resting unevenly on floor causing door to be out.
How much blood was on the floor?
Mike.Re: AEG FAV 40260IW motor kit
I was looking at Mediator. Lot of service bulletins on there. Looks like lots of stuff was changed during productions of this model. Only Circuit diag I could see looked old and I couldn’t quite work it out. Don’t know if it’s same you were looking at? Can’t you just compare motors old and new, side by side, ignore tacho and copy wiring across?
Mike.Re: AEG FAV 40260IW motor kit
I’d have to guess that your model just ignores the tacho. Though don’t know why the wires come from mains filter.
Mike.Re: AEG FAV 40260IW motor kit
Mediator says, 1110990734
Mike.
Edit: Hmm. looks same though. Complete with two pressure switches. Looks like two seperate wires for capacitor and a 4 terminal plug on motor body. ❓Re: Zan jetsystem 1400 FJR1454W pump 5 secs > St/pse flas
AARgghhh!
Wake up this morning to find message on answerphone.
Machine completed two washes perfectly and is now doing same as before.
Oh well, back Monday with the service manual.
Mike.Re: Friday afternoon Quiz – Zan ZWF1437 – E40 fault
E41=door open.
Wall fell on washer, leaving cabinet distorted so door would not close properly. Builder tried to get door off to rectify but didn’t have torx bits so tried various penknives. Gave up and called you. Easy really.
Mike.Re: Ear worms.
Just checked my bank statement online and the money has come in! Paid in on 10th August. Had been about to start thinking seriously about small claims court.
Not a word heard from Bosch by way of explanation or apology.
After all the times I’ve spoken well of their machines to customers. 😡

Have you tried poking it with a wooden stick? Taking all necessary precautions of course!

This might interest you. It’s still going by the way. (Phew.)
Mike.Re: Intergrated Electrolux Washing Machine
95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} chance you’re not going to need diagnostics. Just do what Washman says. If you were to read the manual you would find in there somewhere buried among the thousands of words of blah blah diagnostics that elements giving insulation resistance readings of below 40 Mohms will cause these sorts of problems. TBH I’ve done quite a few AEG/Lux/Zan machines over the last few years and whilst the diagnostics are exellent, I’ve rarely gained much benefit from using them. I think they are the same across all models using same board shapes though. Might differ slightly with different fascia designs using different buttons. I’ve printed out manuals to take with me several times and not really made much use of them.

🙁
I must have made it too easy. 😆
Good thing I didn’t offer a prize!Actually there was quite a bit of black dust throughout the machine.
I suppose it gets attracted to certain pcb tracks by the charge. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is responsible for a lot of puzzling faults. I recall Tony advising somewhere to scrub boards and dry them.
