Re: bosch dishwasher model sgs56e12gb/01
It’s a reed switch.

Every time the magnet passes it, it opens. The pcb counts the pulses.(Or something like that.) Imagine how many times that switch moves in a year. It’s not surprising they go wrong. (There again, sometimes it’s just the connector.)

Pig of a job. Don’t give a price!
Mike.Re: Miele W504 spinning full speed
When you say you read the motor tacho, I expect you just metered it in ohms?
It’s a good idea to check for an output by attaching your leads to the terminals and monitoring the voltage as you turn the drum. (I can’t remember if you’re looking for ac or dc, the first I think, but try both.) It should rise as you turn faster. That way you’re checking the magnet and the coil. Better still would be to monitor it at board end of lead.

Can be caused by damp. Look for condensation on plastic brush holders.

In stock at Connect. Won’t say price for fear of starting price discussion.
You probably don’t need them anyway, just blow out the dust (without breathing it) and work the old ones on their pins so they move freely. They have a tendency to get stiff to move and refuse to be thrown outwards by the centrifugal force.
Mike.Re: hotpoint wma44
Have had the one where worn brushes caused it to do exactly that during spin.

Look at it. If it isn’t that, what’ve you lost? I should think if it’s the timer, it’s BER anyway.

You can imagine the designers must have trained for decades and stayed up sweating profusely over the drawing board many a long, long night getting those nodes just the right amount of pointy and stiff to ensure that your tee shirts will get jabbed just hard enough to “physically break down the stiffness created by water drying in fabric.” I must say this was a problem that had always caused me a phenomenal amount of concern. I really think they should have been paid a whole lot more. We owe it to them, as a nation, to see that they are looked after well in their old age.

Mike.Re: Extravagant energy saving claims?
I often have friends asking me things like, “Which (electric) heater will give out the most heat for the lowest running cost?” :rolls:
The public are ignorant on these matters. That’s why they believe the stuff they see advertised. Not only that, they think that it’s only a matter of changing light bulbs and putting out their recycling for collection and they’ll prevent global warming / resource depletion being too bad. The reality is that the combined effect of those two things will achieve as good as nothing.
Mike.Re: neff s4130gb/21 dw
I wonder if this is one of those with the resin filled thing on the side where the matrix is these days. The resin balls settle down and get stuck in a lump. You have to tap the plastic for ages with a soft screwdriver handle to loosen them up. Penguin told me about it 2 or 3 years ago. I’ll see if I can find the thread.
Mike.Re: Extravagant energy saving claims?
It ain’t right. I’m sure this is fooling a lot of folks and it shouldn’t be difficult to disprove those claims. I think I’ll give TS a call later in the week. Maybe one of those TV programmes too. You don’t get anywhere if you don’t kick up a stink.
Mike.Re: WAE28363gb/05 Bosch
Don’t we need another sticky to gather up all these reset/test programme procedures?
Mike.
Edit: Oh hang on there is one already. Bet this Bosch procedure isn’t in it though.Re: zanussi zwd1471
40 megohms of insulation resistance (especially dryer element) is low enough to trigger such faults. It says so in the service manual.

No.
Why be so abiguous? 😆Anyway, how do they get away with making claims like that? Ain’t there a law against it? And what does the intellipanel do? How does it save energy, even if the claim is exaggerated? I’m thinking it would take one hell of a long time to recoup even its trade price of £20 +vat. let alone the environmental cost of its lifecycle, “cradle to grave.”
