Re: Bosch Exxcel wfo285sgb/01 skips spin
I think he means a comm stick. The nurse has given him the wrong tablets again.
Mike.Re: LG / AEG door lock. Cheaper alternative?
😆 No worries. Will finally send this order off tomorrow and due to a few extras being needed it will go above threshold. Result!

Some helpful UKW bod suggested stripping the armature out of the motor dowsing with WD40 cleaning the commutator and rebuilding. It worked a treat.
Hope that helps, worth a try before forking out for modules. 😉I found that thread. Martin was the one who suggested the cleaning. Just shows these old gits know a thing or two 😆
Mike.Re: insulation testing
From memory I think Martin’s PDF recommended attaching the red lead to the earth pin. This puzzled me a bit as my instinct was to put it the other way around. After thinking about it for a spell, I decided the reason must be to minimise the possibility of damage to electronics due to accidental connection of clip to one current pin only. With the DC going the other way (in via the earth pin) it would only reach the live/neutral parts via any earth leakage. Hope that makes sense.
Mike.Re: HOOVER A8582 W/DRYER
According to Mediator, original p/n was 6325539 but they don’t have it.
09074618 looks a bit more like an original at MPT but lists the HV34100 as equivalent to it so the cheaper one will probably fit.
09074618 pattn equiv ELE9438 abt £6 at Connect.
Mike.Re: LG / AEG door lock. Cheaper alternative?
Thanks for the offer Phidom. I can’t find the OPN but it’s the black one that has the socket for three tag connector in the side as opposed to above or below. Also fits some old AEGs. Has larger than usual opening for the door pecker.
(To Chris) When you become our new Penguinist dictator I promise I’ll recant my wicked ways. Hey maybe this election could be the big opportunity you’ve been waiting for. 😆
Mike.Re: LG / AEG door lock. Cheaper alternative?
Well, truth is I’ll have to order it from Connect at £19.95 or something like that, (not going to check right now as computer on brink.) Because only Connect have the other bits I want enabling me to make up a half decent order. Add a share of the delivery charge and vat on all of it and it’s over £25 just for the part.
What I will charge is not really the point, as you correctly say that’s my business and I have run it perfectly well for many years, except perhaps I tend to undercharge compared to most I read on here.
I just feel that a simple lock didn’t ought to cost so much. But I had a good search around and couldn’t find anything remotely looking like it would fit so unless someone here knows of one then the order will go ahead tomorrow.
Mike.
PS If you think my mark up is extortionate, remember it’s based on UKW shop@’s price for the part – so you must be accusing them of extortion, too.Re: Bosch Classixx dishwasher E-Nr SGS43C02GB/35
That’s a strange one. If it’s dry and it’s humming, my money’s on the water supply. Maybe there’s an intermittent blockage at the tap end. Not a self-plumb fitting by any chance? Sometimes they don’t screw in the cutter far enough.
Mike.Re: ESL6115
Don’t know if it’s same but went to ESL4114 yesterday (slimline) and it had an electromechanical timer. Probably could get wiring diagram off Connect. That one was blowing trip and turned out to be heater dead short to earth. Not that difficult to get plug out, once rhs from fr panel off, and as you’re probably going to have to change heater anyway, might as well drag it out now and leave it loose till you have part. I think plastic base may unclip too but was in hurry so didn’t check closely. The worst was getting decor door off – IIRC it was six of the torx t10 door panel screws holding it on.
Mike.Re: WMA36 “fills, all lights on, stops and sits there&a
Thanks for the stuff, Jim.
In the end, I went to machine having forgotten to consult info. 😳
but it didn’t matter because, having dragged it out and examined things, I found a brush (Bosch) had somehow got a bit stuck in its holder. I think the springs on the pattern brushes may sometimes be a teeny bit bigger in diameter than the originals and that may be what caused it.
Anyway, I could feel bearings starting to wear and when I told him about that and how much it would set him back I think he didn’t seem too keen. (Apparently this one is on 4 times a day in summer – washing for holiday guests- so he feels it has given them more than adequate for their money.)
Which reminds me of another WMA I was asked to check on in the laundry room of a company that services holiday cottages. About 18 months ago I could hear the bearings roaring like a military jet in it so I told her to run it into the ground and get a Bosch. Went back the other day to do a tumble dryer and the WMA was still there and in use and still roaring!! 😯
Dunno how it’s still going?
Mike.Re: Zanussi ZWF14280S
I know this thread refers to a Bosch machine but it looks interesting in this context.
Mike.Re: BEKO WMA 520S
Well, she could time how long her usual programme takes and then use it with one of those plug in digital timers which I think can be set to run to the minute. And they’re only about seven quid.
Mike.Re: ewx1440wd PRD no 914602300 washer dryer
Looking at the other thread by Andystu, here
this machine might be quite new? If so, you should wait a bit and see how he gets on with his. Maybe send him a PM?
Mike.Re: Zanussi ZWF14280S
When you say you “tested motor for earth”, do you mean earth leakage? (i.e. insulation resistance.) What was result? ditto heater?
Mike.Re: Bosch Classxx6 W/M WAE24363GB/05
Looks like there are two boards, power and control. £82 and £47 respectively.
go here and tap in the model no.
Might be a connection issue between the two?
Mike.
