Re: creda t/d 37648
I had some pattern stat kits from Masterpart. They were marked with the temperatures but no colour codes. (The temperatures were only approximately near to the genuine). I checked them using a heat gun and found that the higher temp was a “one shot” and the lower a self-resetting. Cheaper, certainly, but worth the risk?

Mike.Re: Post wm motor
If the guy can wait in for a courier to call, I find http://www.interparcel.com/
works well for me. They use DHL but you don’t pay DHL price. Otherwise, if not pressed for time, try http://www.collectplus.co.uk where he drops it into his local shop and you pick it up from yours. Takes 5 or more days tho’.

Not sure what you mean by switch bank? Connect mediator shows exploded diag. Just two e/regulators and two pan sensor stats. AFAICS.

Edit: Mains terminal block 24 way? p/n TER239.Re: siemens wdi 1440gb/03
I don’t know, and I very seldom see a Siemens, but this sounds like a sort of protection mechanism (electronic).
Presumably something in machine is damaged and electronics, on sensing that, are shutting down to avoid damage. I’d pull it apart and meter & megger individual components until something shows up. If nothing shows up then you may be looking at the board(s). 😥
Mike.Re: Hotpoint TDL 34P Static Shock
Possibly. Jim (Iadom) would likely know. You could PM him ‘cos he might not read this. I should think it would take quite a long while to wear out anyway. You often find them quite worn when you go to change the bearing.

Maybe needs new drum earthing strip? That flimsy bit of copper that plays on rear spindle.

Mike.Re: zanussi zwd12270w
Worth doing a search of the forum using the search link up there to the left. Try model no. as search term. Then try Zanussi AND dead.
Think many of us have had similar problems with late Zanussis and I think I’d be right to say no one’s found a definitive cause yet. They just mysteriously die sometimes and leave customers with an expensive dilemma. Reading other’s experiences will at least make you feel a bit better.
Mike.Re: SIMPLE PCB REPAIR TIPS
I think the most common repair to modules of all, and worth recording here, is the relay solder terminal found on many dishwasher boards, especially Bosch, and on washing machines, especially Hoover and Zanussi. Fault symptoms are usually no motor action on washers and no heat on dishwashers. The degree of visible damage can vary from a cracked joint only visible with a magnifying glass, to a one centimetre hole blown in the board. I usually find it sufficient to clean up the mess with emery paper, spread on a bit of flux and remake the joint. Occasionally, there’s no leg left on the relay so it must be replaced. That’s normally a “take it home” job for me but it could be done in the field if you can get comfy enough. The relays are usually 12 volt or 24 volt coil but look very much the same, so check the print on the old one to make sure the new one is same. It’s a good idea to fit a higher spec version while you’re at it, e.g. 12amp in place of 10amp if same size and available.
Then there’s track repairs of course. These are often caused when an interlock or other component shorts and a bit more current flows through the track than it was designed for. I carry a few short lengths of thin insulated wire with pre-tinned ends so I can just solder them in once the pcb is cleaned up.
Mike.Re: hotpoint wmf760
Think that’s an induction motor, isn’t it? Don’t know if they vary at all but someone was trying to sell one on e-bay a couple of weeks ago and didn’t get a bid even at 99p. So they’ve probably still got it. If you’ve got an e-bay a/c sign in and look for item no. 250555348428 ( I kept it in my watching folder). Then you can message the seller and ask him to pop it up “buy it now” if he still wants to sell.
