Re: beko WMA1715
Use search facility “beko + prewash + 1715”, narrow down to trade tech enq only. To get more results use fewer terms or switch them about. Here’s one interesting result another Beko saved from the scrap heap
Mike.Re: Bosch Parts Price Rant
You only tell us half the story to begin with. We lay on the lash. Then you tell us about the mitigating circumstances. Now we have to feel guilty about having given you a good whipping when perhaps it wasn’t quite deserved.
Glad I didn’t get involved in this sado-masochistic nightmare. 😆
Mike.Re: Beko spares
I think they’ve been running down their white goods sector for a few years now. 60{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of stuff is out of stock. The search facility doesn’t seem to work all that well either. I find that browsing from the left hand menu often brings up no results but if you know the part no. from another site you find that they do have the part. (Unless Dave Conway’s bought ’em out first to restock UKW).
MikeRe: Zanussi ZWX 1605W
Interesting way of doing things. Must keep this in mind for when I’m stuck. Hope you get a call to say all is well in a fortnight’s time. Similar things do frequently happen, don’t they.
Mike.Re: AEG W/dryer L16810
Attach meter leads to thermistor and see whether resistance changes as you warm it up with hairdryer or in cup of hot water. They usually take 30 seconds to warm enough to respond with the hair dryer, quicker with the water. I think it’s a long shot anyway. More likely a wiring/connection broken/loose somewhere.

diverter + noise Link is to page two but whole thread may be of interest. Other threads came up using those search terms but I had happy memories of this one 😀 .
Mike.Re: Zanussi ZWX 1605W
What’s the water hardness like in your area, Steve? Down here it’s very soft and consequently I’ve replaced about one washing machine heater element for every year I’ve been down here. If you’ve got hard water though, that could be much more likely. I’ve had low insulation on motors (damp) cause similar problems. Unplug motor for quick test.
When I get a machine that’s foxing me I assemble all suggestions and my own ideas and make a list to go back with. Tick them off as I check them. Saves forgetting something and helps to prevent getting sidetracked.
Mike.Re: Aldi LED Headlight
Well, I confess I do own some cycle clips. Fluorescent, reflective yellow ones at that. However, sorry to disappoint you but I very rarely wear them now 8) due to investment in a bicycle with a chainguard.
As for headlights I think they look quite trendy. You could buy one of those low profile expensive Petzl ones in outdoor sports shops so people think you’re a macho caver.
Mike.Re: Aldi LED Headlight
The other day bought a 24 led lamp which is shaped a bit like a lozenge tin about 2″ across. It takes the usual 3 AAA and is as bright as you like. Nice sturdy on off button so it doesn’t turn on by accident. Magnet on the back and a swivelling hook to hang it up from any convenient spot. Tried it today, very pleased; might retire previous led lamps. Only £2.49 from local cheapjacks.
If you think you look like a pillock, you should see me wearing my ex-soviet laboratory magnifying specs,straps repaired with cable ties, looking for dry joints. Customers have to leave the kitchen, being unable to stifle their laughter.
Mike.Re: Bosch drain pump seized solid!
Those latex gloves are great for brush changes. Stops you getting all black. Try and get a good fit though- too small and they won’t go on properly. Too big and you lose sensitivity ..er, I mean you can’t get a grip.
Mike.Re: Zanussi ZWX 1605W
Try in a new interlock first anyway. A lock can damage a module but a module would be extremely unlikely to damage a lock! If it then works, you can carry on to next job, if not then whip out the pcb or suggest she call Zanussi if it’s under 2 yeras old.
Mike.Re: bosch sgs56e02 dishwasher
Worth taking a shufty at the module to look for burnt relay joint. Is the “interrupted circulation” not just the changeover from lower to upper spray arm?

I think this will be your relay but which one for dryer I don’t know.uk.rs-online.com
Don’t forget that the fault code is only a guide and the fault could be elsewhere :rolls: – as if I needed to tell you that.
