Re: Big white boxes keep on a comin’
I avoid some of that by opening one tab with the forum. Then I run down the list right clicking and opening each thread which looks interesting in a new tab. Then go through the tabs one by one. That way the page can settle all it wants while I’m elsewhere.
Mike.Re: Hotpoint WM72
Had the same happen once on one of the first hybrid timers years ago.
If you spend any money on it at that age, the spider’ll go the following week.

Did same and terminated in 4mm plugs to go straight in the meter but it’s been in the drawer for years as space & weight is at a premium for me.
Mike.Re: Miele W828 rinse light flashing.
Check for small voltage from tacho at conn. to board whilst revolving drum by hand. (Connection diagram tucked in there somewhere.) If you have signal and brushes are OK, then there is still a fault on board unless there is a problem in loom to motor. Assuming your repair is good, check motor triac etc.
If it repeated the same self-destructive behaviour, machine almost sure to need new shocks (Europart do them cheapest last time I looked.)
I’ve just broken a Miele with same board and motor due major spider failure. Drum was seized as a consequence. Not checked board or motor yet but look OK. Let me know if you want either for a fair price and I’ll get on with checking them.

Ain’t that just typical!
Mike.Re: AEG turbo lavamat 16810 update. Lights/display goes out.
Went to look yesterday. First thing I did was check for bearings and I felt a slight rumble so immediately advised customer that there was major work going to be needed within 3 months. (And silently sighed with relief that it wasn’t going to be worth spending hours on this one.)
The problem appears to me to be in the fascia board as the display and all lights can be made to disappear by applying pressure to the fascia whilst the m/c is operating. It continues to operate though, just lights out. I pulled the board out thinking it might be a tactile switch job but the only one that gets used checked out fine. I firmed up the connectors, put it back and it seemed a bit more positive and less inclined to flicker at start up. Left her to run it for a while (apparently it’s been doing this for some time) with instructions to call me should it all start working wonderfully and she wants the bearings done. But it’s a 2003 machine and I think she’ll be going shopping for a Bosch in due course.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Jem, I saw that same chip in a ZWF1432 yesterday (different board shape.) Looks like it could be a common problem. Didn’t get the main board out on this one – too much of a hassle, so much easier on the newer models.
Mike.Re: ZWF1432W Jumps off suspension every few months.
Well, I went and put the spring back yesterday (Friday) and poked around the tacho connections, checked the magnet was tight and so on. Motor is an ACC. Checked the heater was Ok and the ntc connection firm. Meggered machine and got about 2.5M, heater on its own off the scale.
Put m/c on to test and it wouldn’t start. Asked for last error and got E41. Had a look at door switch and noted clear sign of overheating and it was hot to touch. No switch on board and wasn’t sure about which of 4 wires to bridge so arranged another call for next week. Noted also that drain hose has been extended to approximately 3 metres with a spigot join at halfway so could well be intermittent draining issue, maybe even syphoning.
To be continued.
Thanks for the help so far.
Mike.Re: PCB Relays
I use a 12v doorbell battery to activate the coil and a low volt test lamp between the middle (off-set) leg and each of the opposite two in turn to determine with a reasonable degree of certainty which relay is faulty. This usually works without desoldering but is not definitive as relays sometimes work intermittently due to contacts being partly burnt or possibly solenoid mechanisms jammimg.
Mike.Re: bosh washer
Sounds as if armature may have been damaged. Could be new motor needed. Maybe tried to spin whilst still full due to hairgrip.

Hi Martin. Where are you based, if you don’t mind me asking?
Sounds like Kensington and Chelsea.
Mike.Re: Miele W827 washing machine
It’s a while since I last did one but I don’t remember having any problem getting the knob off; I think it was just get a grip with my gripper gloves and pull. Although, looking at this, I’m wondering if there isn’t a separate user interface board with knob which is (dis)connected via a ribbon cable to the board you want; in fact I think that is how it is.
Here’s an image I finally found on a usb stick, showing the fuse (round, orange/brown plastic, bottom right) and the relay (top left). Whatever you do, don’t call it job done until you’ve checked and, if necessary, replaced the suspas. Unless it was caused by a one off heavy / unbalanced load, they will be the cause and it isn’t really evident until you remove one.
Here’s the thread which you may have already found:

That’s not a question any of us is going to be able to answer unless he were involved in designing that oven. But I’ll stick my neck out and say I can’t imagine it being that critical. What’s the worst that could happen? A joint of meat slightly burnt or under-cooked. Oh well, there again if it were the latter I suppose it could give someone food poisoning but it’s a pretty unlikely scenario.
Mike.Re: Hpt BWD129 fault code? 2&4 in r/h row flash + d/locked r
Lucky. Didn’t need to get it out as it was just not draining due to a blockage at the hose to sink spigot connection.
Mike.
