Re: meggers
I got bored, sorry. 😆
See my point, the Spanish arn`t lousy drivers, we are.
I was pointing out that opinion and regulation does not always change much.
Same with appliance safety testing, you can make all the regs you want and test every little appliance, you won`t save deaths or injury that frankly arn`t happening.
Re: Bosch Logixx SGS66A02/GB20 low water level
There is no valve on the heater, there is a coil that operates a lever which is under the heater box, looks like the turntable motor from a microwave.
Its a common problem and until you check it, I feel we are goin to fall out. :rolls:
The second fill will only happen when the water level drops thanks to the circ motor starting, if the motor starts but no second fill its because the blockage in the heater is preventing the water pressure dropping.
Check the bloody heater box for blockage or faulty gate/motor.
😆
I could be completely wrong though. 😉
Re: Bosch Logixx SGS66A02/GB20 low water level
Have you checked the heater box and valve.
Its either blocked or valve is jammed.

and even the MOT has slipped in there but enlightening nonetheless.Most Brits believe that Spanish roads are dangerous and drivers are lunatics compared to the safe old UK.
Last year though the UK had almost a 1000 more deaths than Spain, who have more or less the same amount of drivers.
Yet points etc etc are a relatively new system in Spain, before they were introduced they still had less deaths than the UK.

Re: Bosch Logixx SGS66A02/GB20 low water level
It should, there is a diaphragm that should poke out the arm.
This should go back in causing the fill to start again.
If it isn`t coming out the appliance will over fill, which will cause the chamber with the red float to fill, this will cause the appliance to fill and empty every few seconds.
Re: meggers
The ITV in Spain is very different to the UK MOT, its actually tougher and more safety driven.
Yet there road death rate is higher than the UK.
You can implement all the regulation you want too, it won`t help.
There was some figures published that since the HSE started there has been no drop in accidents, deaths or injuries.
In some areas it has increased.
Even with regulation you will still get people ignoring it, even on my recent ACS re-assessment the assessor was leaving the room with the answer box open for all to read. :rolls:
At least three guys struggled to spot the obvious flue faults, simple helping them too answer is no good, you either no it or you don`t.
The amount of gas hob faulty installations and leaks is incredible, I`m for ever goin to leaks caused by pipework being pressed by the oven too close and fracturing the joints, which are usually very poorly done.
But are people dieing of this, nope, which is why the industry has poor workmanship, even the people meant to regulate it don`t believe in it, they speak it, but deep down, no the reality is different.
Re: meggers
The other difficulty is though time.
A safety test is only good for the time an engineer has done it.
Once that engineer has written on his paper work that he has carried out the tests, time will then become important.
Nobody can prove if an engineer actually carried out the tests, except time.
If the customer drops dead on the very 1st wash 30 minutes after you left there is a good possibility that engineer becomes suspect number one.
If in 6 months that client drops dead, then that engineer is less likely to be prosecuted, as anybody could have done anything to that appliance.
Which is why very few people get prosecuted, its very difficult to prove.
And I`d bet good money that of all the engineers employed by manufacturers were surveyed this week, I`d be surprised if more than 2{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} carried out tests to every appliance they worked on.
Private individuals I`ve no idea, I do them and carry the equipment as its my company, but I`m positive its something many don`t do and even less do it right.
Then again in Europe, my experience of Spain, they don`t carry out appliance safety tests, at all and nobody dies, so one could argue whats the point of implementing EU laws that don`t improve safety.
If clients where dropping like flies sure, but there not, so one could question the reason behind the regulations.
There are a lot of people employed in implementing regs, from the suppliers of equipment to trainers and PAT testing yearly.
I mean when was the last time tou read an office worker got killed by there answer machine. 😆
Maybe that is the mistake of Europe, Spain has 4 Million unemployed, maybe if they implemented PAT in the work place etc etc, they would have 250,000 less unemployed.
Still the same amount of yearly deaths though, but less out of work, paid for by the taxes, that we pay, too much of.
My local ACS centre now run Ladder safety courses, I was asking the guy who taught it how many on the course, there fully booked thanks to legislation etc, etc, although he joked only 2 people been killed that year on ladders, both in domestic situations, but that`s HSE for you.
Ok rant over, getting back too my wine now just as soon as I put on my High visability jacket, gloves and safety goggles, just in case the glass breaks or the cork explodes. 😆
Re: Bosch Logixx SGS66A02/GB20 low water level
When the appliance fills to first level the circulation pump motor kicks in, this reduces water level, which then kicks in the fill valve again until fill level is reached.
You should notice the little blue arm coming outwards and it returns when circulation motor kicks in.
If the circulation motor activates but no water entering spray arms and no fill would indicate the level hasn`t dropped, probably an obstruction somewhere in the heater matrix.
Believe it or not I had a call to a ServiceForce agent who called out to a Bosch D/W with a complaint of no wash action on the spray arms.
1st guy orders spray arms, second guy fits them, customer complains, they call back, remove motor and take to workshop, re assemble with new impellor kit, still not working.
They take appliance back to workshop and I get the call for help.
I remove heater matrix to find the little piece of plastic from a pasta sauce pot jammed across one of the holes.
The drop in pressure was not enough for the second fill and the pressure too low.
Took them 6 weeks to repair, took me 35 minutes. 😆 😆 😆 😆
Re: Bosch condenser drier leaks.
Not really.
Maybe worth replacing the seal, but its more of a bearing really than a seal.
Check the rear seal, that tends to cause a leaking issue.
Check the hose coming from pump up is in the correct place.
Have you run a test program, it could be a temp issue or even the location of the appliance, its mentioned in there instructions about low ambient temperature and condensation build up.
Re: Bosch condenser drier leaks.
Have you checked and cleaned the cooler, it the sliding out piece found on the front left side looking at the front behind the door.
If that is fluffed up, there usually missed by the client, it will cause too much moisture to build up in that left corner which leaks onto the floor.
Re: SEIMANS ELECTRIC HOB
No the protection is built into the electronics to prevent damage.
Measured voltage could be low when you check, sod`s law tends to sort that out.
You should be able to disconnect the appliance, wait and reconnect and should work.
If not you could have a faulty PCB, but you should have a fault code showing that being the case.
As you`ve stated you`ve replaced the PCB and still faulty, it would suggest the supply voltage is raising and your measurement didn`t pick it up.
This happened to me in a new build block of flats in the UK, it also happened several times in Spain.
Everytime it was found to be a supply voltage issue, the UK sorted it after a few phone calls and moaning, in Spain its probably still and issue for the clients. 😆
