Re: Fixing it from inside out.

Interesting philosophical point.
Why do we (do we?) believe that people that did less well at school (and especially if they speak with Del Boy accents) are less honest?
I think the picture shows a bit of imagination anyway. Though why he’s bothering to try and fix that 25 year old Philco is beyond me 😆 .
Mike.Re: DeDetrich DOD788 Problems
I’m no legal expert and I stand to be corrected but I think you can give a written expert OPINION without fear of landing yourself in court. You are an expert and you are entitled to your opinion! The company are entitled to contest your opinion but I suspect these things would be very unlikely to land up in a court, unless there’s a lot of the machines doing it and someone brings a class action. And nobody is going to come after you in such a case.
Mike.Re: Zanussi ZWF1432 stops between wash and rinses
You don’t mention water valves but presumably you’ve checked them carefully. Might be worth replacing them/it just in case it’s gone intermittent somehow and see what happens. Other than that, it sounds like a strange board fault. Do EMW do this one? You could ask them to send you one to try in.
Mike.Re: whirlpool adp262wh overfilling
Do you mean the pressure thingy that’s part of the valve construction itself, as in many dw? I haven’t seen one on WHP but then have never looked!
If it is such a “safety valve” then there’s a 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} chance you could be in for a recall as these are a pita for sticking intermittently.

I’m looking for it at every job now! Just wish more machines had one 😀 .
Mike.Re: Electrolux EWI2001 No spin
It is a typical fault of the hybrid timer on these. You can get a re-con from EMW and return it if it doesn’t cure fault but I’m pretty sure it will. Alternatively, send the timer to me as I have a theory I’d like to check. (Would take a couple of days and then I’d return it and you could let me know if it worked. 🙂 )

You should find this very educational and quite amusing at times.
Mike.Re: Hoover A3632 Washer – old un
I agree with Tim. There’s a blocked dispenser to tub hose. Had them blocked solid with hardened ball of soap powder on occasion – quite difficult to disperse.

Well, with a load more help from Dave and taking his excellent advice to re-read the “Simple pcb repairs” sticky, this one is finally going again :tup: .
As I re-installed it, I noticed it had one of those cr@p Askoll motors though. When I closed the door after opening it to check it was heating OK, the motor gave that death rattle so I advised the customer that he might be needing my help again very shortly. 🙁 for him, and :haier: for me as it’s a narrow kitchen but, oh well I guess the money will compensate me 😀 .
Mike.Re: Miele W828 rinse light flashing.
Just to update. Returned with repaired board this afternoon and all now running well. Canufixit? You certainly can! :tup:

Relay stock no. 6803830 at RS.Re: hotpoint 30mm inner bearing outer case stuck in tub
Had same recently on my first 30mm. Eventually did the drill into aluminium behind it trick to get a sharp chisel in there. As usual the shell breaks before it will come out. Always get there in the end.
Tip: Wear ear protectors; tinnitus is no fun. 😉
Mike.Re: Tips & Tricks on getting the best from Search?
When nothing else is working, I find it productive to do my search in Google and scroll down the list of hits until I get one that’s from UKW 😯 . Only problem is it doesn’t seem to include the trade forums.

Edit: Which is kind of bizarre 😕Who else knew that UKW also went by the name of rangemaster-repairs.co.uk ?
Re: Miele W828 rinse light flashing.
Checked relay 6k1 or whatever it was called, and sure enough got a reading indicating a stuck contact on one side just like all the “amateurs” were finding on theirs. Cut the top off to have a look and it certainly had had a mini-inferno in there! So this is apparently a common fault and potentially a nice little earner! Just wish I had half a dozen more like it to do. (After that, I might get a bit bored with it. 😆 )
The last post on the blog I was reading reckoned that the suspas on his had gone weak and were the underlying factor in causing the initial fault. I find that difficult to believe as the only problems I’ve ever found with suspas were due to water ingress rusting them out or supports breaking. Still, will check them over when I return. Expect conclusion in about 3 weeks. 😀
