Re: Dodgy Cooker Elements Abound
I now insulation test all elements on receipt. It’s remarkable how some are around the 1.5 to 4 Mohm range. Others are at infinity – not sure what top end is on my meter but often get readings near 200M. Must find instruction book.
Have had quite a few elements from lmelectrical (ebay seller) in Somerset over past couple of years. They were always high on insulation test and invariably arrive next day – it’s as though they have some influence at Royal Mail! And on top of that they’re cheaper than most wholesalers on common stuff.

What I never had I don’t miss. But all I’ve ever read about Partfinder on here is moaning about how bad it is and expensive.

ebay
Always worth a look.
Usual caution with ebay, check f/back etc.
Armatures on their own for anything but Hotpoint and Hoover (in the old days) are as rare as hen’s teeth.
Mike.Re: zan wm faulty
And also check for insulation resistance below FORTY MEGOHMS on heater element as that will give you exactly those symptoms. IME, if it was just a bit of damp on the motor, your initial IR would have been a fail but that’s worth a check anyway, especially if m/c in shed.
Mike.Re: hotpoint indesit f03 but not the thermistor
Favourite would be heater relay. But don’t ask me which one it is! Probably RL1 or RL2 but check via tracks & wiring.

It’s a useful site for getting part no.s from. Don’t know how long it’s been available. I get the impression that manufacturers are getting their acts together to cash in on the retail spares market which they’ve been allowing the likes of espares etc. to exploit. Or maybe they’re slightly concerned about the forthcoming OFT review.
Mike.Re: whirlpool 6th sense
Recently had this caused by low carbons – maybe need to look see if there’s one sticking.
Mike.Re: zanussi fs1255w
Just trace the wiring back from the heater to the board, then follow the tracks. It’s a lot easier than it sounds. Look on the underside of a new relay – the relay circuit is imprinted there.
Hope I’m not teaching granny again.
Mike.Re: AEG Washing Machine L64810
If that one has a recirculation pump, it could be that. If not, it sounds like p/sw is sensing something wrong. Colour catcher in sump?

To helo 75: If that rude comment was directed at me, then I’d like you to know that the esteem in which I held you has taken a slight knock. You are undoubtedly a highly experienced and capable engineer. It’s a shame you are so brash.
The reason I posted the link was because it showed a picture of the part together with the part number, so abbots would have been able to check it was the right part I was directing him to. I didn’t know the thing was time sensitive, I didn’t have to register to search for that part – it was available to all. Also, I try to help people to help themselves rather than just run around doing their work for them. Just as others on here have helped me in all sorts of ways.

Re: Neff U1442WOGB/03 double oven
The exploded view is available on Connect mediator but, as Paul said, it isn’t much help. It looks as though you could seperate the fascia complete with switches from the rest by taking off side panels to access screws (I’m assuming) going in from sides. That would allow you to see a bit better how things fit together. There has to be a way! Please post up your findings so we can all access the info when we need it.
Mike.Re: Zanussi ZWD12270W Wash/Drier – M/C Dead
I think there’s something somewhere on here about them dying when the machine is turned off during a spin! If it’s true, I imagine it is a purely unintentional design fault. I think it’s also been mentioned that it can be lightning damage but presumably that would leave marks.
Mike.
