but this fault is quite common and I wouldn’t rely too heavily on the info. therein. Maybe EMW do these boards now.

Not sure what 6 flashes is but flow meter was always 7 in my experience 😕
Symptoms suggest it’ll be one of them carppy Askoll style circulation motors.

Your interrogation methods may need some refinement. Your club looks a bit blunt. Try a few nails in it. 😆

Could be a capacitor going down on the board. Read pcb repairs sticky for insights.

No, he’s just too young to remember 😛 .
Mike.Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
Had a few of those lately. Made efforts and found the number and email from internet on last occasion over a week ago, as it’s someone with a business. Rang both phones, no answer, no answerphone 😡 . No reply to email.
Too bad for them.
I used to have a number display which recorded the last 30 calls so I could find numbers like that (if they weren’t ex-direc.) but it went wrong and the 99p one I got off ebay doesn’t do that. For people that want more business it would be worth getting the more expensive display I suppose 😉 .
Mike.Re: cordless screwdriver
Martin wrote::hmm: Makes me wonder what you guys use when it comes to also needing a cordless to drill a few holes
Can actually manage 4mm holes in e.g. element brackets with my 7.2v – only a few per charge but don’t need to do that usually anyway. Could do with more oomph getting Zanussi split tub screws started though. I think that’s when I realised the batteries were starting to weaken.
For a long time I resisted the lure of a powered screwdriver at all because of the extra weight in my toolbag 🙂 .Martin wrote:its time to bin them and buy a whole new unit.

Exactly same logic as our customers then. We can’t moan about them when we do the same.
Mike.Re: Hotpoint WF541 "Door Locked"
I’m sure I’ve read of similar happenings on here a few times. I once had a Bosch that did the same.
Mike.Re: cordless screwdriver
Been using a Bosch 7.2v for a couple of years and it’s been great. Only just lately I thought I detected a slight tiredness as though it had lost a bit of power. Gave Bosch a ring and asked if I could get replacement lithium battery pack. ‘Fraid not sir. All sealed unit. said the man in technical. 👿
Anyway, there’s screws in the handle. I’ll open it up when it gets too bad and see if a couple of those 99p Chinese 3.7v laptop cells off ebay will fit.
Mike.Re: Hotpoint WF541 "Door Locked"
When an interlock shorts out it blows a small triac and the lock will then not lock or work. I’m guessing a bit but I think in this case that triac may have gone short cicuit thus allowing current to flow through the door lock heater when it shouldn’t. Get your soldering iron out 😆 or EMW. Would be wise to change lock as well as this may have been caused by aging lock. Could also be caused by damp / water ingress > corrosion on triac legs.
Mike.Re: Homeserve. Mis-selling. Oops.
Hmm. Does that mean the call centre staff are on commission but they have to not allow that to influence them to try and sell the service? :rolls:

Yes, we have. Well, apart from Martin.

Hmm. I’m wondering if some manufacturer who wants to stimulate demand for a new product has paid these scientists to come up with this scare.
I don’t in any way wish to diminish the sympathy in respect of your misfortune with that cut, sce, but if you had been gardening at the time you could have suffered a similar fate.Mike.
Re: Hotpoint TVM562G
Got to go and see one Monday. No heat. Will any of the old kits I have in stock (green, white, red, what have you?) fit or do I have to splash out?
Mike.
