Well that didn’t go to plan! Seller reconsidered it’s value and plonked another £85 on the asking price. This COL nonsense really has made prices go nuts.

If anyone by chance knows who manufactures Umelome products that might be the way to go what with warranty etc…

Thanks for your help iadom.

There’s nothing actually wrong with the machine, I was thinking more worst case and what if… Was thinking of getting it insured with DOMGEN. Not sure if they could source parts or just end up replacing it? Did have a White Knight some months back which ended up at recycling because the motor gave out and a replacement couldn’t be found. Trying to avoid a repeat. On the plus, good to know they are reliable. Piece of string question but what would be a fair price based on the pics do you think.

Pity there’s not much chance of spare parts, was of the mind that older appliances were generally better quality than nowadays. Unfortunately it would seem the plate is missing, not surprising considering it’s pretty old. Maybe money is better spent on one of those plush looking Umelome spinners.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks Dave.

An issue with the steam tank, maybe blocked with lint or not filling? Lint has always causes problems with the waterjets around the bottom section of the drum when going through a cycle and almost impossible to clear out even with a sachet of that cleaning power available at Home Bargains.

OK will try that.

Was wondering if anyone knew why this machine is now either filling then emptying or trying to fill and emptying at the same time? Got the baseplate sorted but still not playing nice?

Ah, I see now. I’m guessing the removal men haven’t been especially careful, I have no steel or plastic plate? I’ll have to check and see if they can be bought and the moving company can pay for it! I dread to think of what further damage they could have done. Never rains but…

Thanks Dave. I shall have to buy another, the poly float has gone missing. Do you have any idea where it should be located?Looking at the underside it’s not obvious..

this may be the correct part complete with float as i am fairly certain hoover dishwashers are made by the same people

look for yourself and decide

Re: Zanussi DW930 pump issues..

Thanks for the reply Dave.

2 more questions. How do you get to the impellers and do by any chance know the cost of the kit?

Thanks again. Linda.

Re: Problems with my Panasonic NA-140VS4.

Yes sorry, H73. Old eyes!

Do we know what a steam pump unit costs? I’ve had no luck actually finding the part. Any thoughts on the filling and emptying at the same time. Is that likely to be linked to the steam pump?
