Re: Can anyone translate this please?
Funny, I was sure it said, “Indes**it timer clicks round endlessly; PLEASE HELP!”
Re: Askoll circulation pump no go, in Hygena d/w
Managed to get the old one running again although it seems to have a bit of wear in the impellor end bearing. The o/c resistor seems to have been 11k ohms as it runs OK with that value. Maybe they’ll get a year or two out of it by which time they’ll probably change the whole kitchen :roll:.
I dunno, the middle class eh?
MikeRe: Hotpoint brushes – laminated vs thin.
At Seme currently £2.83. (1’s) No quantity discount currently offered.(Obviously they know stocks are running out). 😡
It’s not quite the end of the world as we know it but it’s not far short. 🙂
Must be some pattern ones worth having, are there not?
Mike.Re: Bosch WFK2801GB/01
I had this one a while back.
I remember tracing it to being a timer fault.
Lot cheaper just to switch off and wait.

Obsolete ?8O
Better get that bulk buying scheme under way right now.

😆 Nice one.

Storage heaters!
You deserve your £50 + for humping those about.

So the customer must pay to fix a fault that was in the design?

We’ve read all about “drilling tiny holes in TOC’s”…”Freezer Sprays” and all that stuff and nonesense, but come on, that’s not on, is it?
For 3 years now Qualtex have been supplying these kits and many of us (including myself) have fitted many over that time (AND with no problems as far as I am aware?) BUT and this is the crunch….their kits are NOT TO THE SAME ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATION….and as such should NOT be fitted by any responsible independent repairer UNTIL they are sorted 👿
Do you not agree?
I have advocated using your brain instead of blindly following rules. How did Chris (Penguin) know that the TOC40 kit was not a one shot? He took the trouble to examine it, not blindly fit it and rely on it’s manufacturer to do the worrying. 😉
Mike.Re: 1701583
As I made my weary (and wary) way home this evening I began musing about this TOC business.
Strikes me that sometimes the tripping of the one shot can be caused by welding of the contacts in the thermostat making it short circuit. If this happens and the machine cycles at 130 degrees instead, then the customer will probably notice a slight “improvement” in performance.
If the 130 eventually fails open circuit then you get called out to fix a dryer that’s no longer drying. No problem there.
However if the 130 goes short circuit due to welded contacts what happens then ❓ 😯
Glad I’ve only ever had the right stuff in this instance. 8)
Mike.
