    Re: Siemens dishwasher/Just flashes at me!

    Thanks for the reply Martin.
    I tried what you suggested, but still no joy.
    The main power module is priced at £114.66 on the Siemens web site.
    What with the cost of an engineer as well as any part(s), and the probability that a seven year old dishwasher (that’s had a LOT of use) will be likely to fail again, I think I will cut my losses and get a new one. A new one will be warrantied for at least a couple of years too. Thanks again.

    Re: WHIRLPOOL ADG7470/1 dishwasher, no heat.

    Thanks for your replies Dave and Bryan.
    Yes, the detergent drawer opens, and I’ve checked all the wiring visually, and with a multi-meter for continuity Dave.

    Bryan. Can you describe to me how to initiate the ‘test sequence’ you have referred to?
    I tried the machine on different programs, but I have no idea how to run a test sequence. There was no information on it in the part fitting instructions.
    Thanks again.

    Re: Indesit WIDXL146 module

    Well, as no one has replied, here’s what happened.

    Indesit have agreed that there should be some information against the module details on their website re- the programming issue.
    I have had to order the smart card and reader, but they will refund me for the reader as long as I send it back (at my expense) after the one time I am going to need to use it.
    Seems fair to me under the circumstances.

    Thank you all for the detailed information and assistance.

    Re: Indesit WIDXL146 module

    Can anyone please answer this question?
    I need to know what to do, and how to approach Indesit.
    Reading through their (extremely one-sided) terms and conditions, it doesn’t look like they will accept the part for return because I – 1.Opened the packaging. 2.Fitted the part to the machine.
    Whatever the outcome of this, I will never, ever buy Indesit/Hotpoint/Creda etc again.
    Cheaply made, overpriced, unreliable rubbish IMHO.
    I’m especially angry about being sold an £80 part that won’t work without spending more money to make the thing work. That is ripping people off; plain and simple.
    Does ANYONE apart from Miele (and not everything I’ve heard about them is all that good) make machines that are worth the money?
    Sorry about the anger, but I am angry – – – –

    Re: Indesit WIDXL146 module

    As far as I’m aware Indesit don’t sell preprogrammed modules. You need to buy a card reader and program card to do it.[/quote

    Are those items readily available and affordable, and do they come with some instructions please?

    Thanks

    Re: Indesit WIDXL146 module

    I did not. There is no advice on the Indesit site with reference to pre-programming, just a photo and the part number with a list of the models that the part fits.
    How the hell is anyone supposed to know that?
    Sounds like a con to me!
    I may have to cite the ‘Distance selling regulations’ and demand a refund if the above is correct.
