Re: Me feet are killing me!!!!
I always looks for some very fine tread as well as it stops you walking crap through people’s homes, boots just hold it even when you wipe them.
Re: John Lewis condenser drier with heat pump
The HP uses a rotary compressor so I don’t know if they are any more or less reliable than a standard one. Never changed a base or heard or any changed either but not that many of them around.
They are the future though, as has been said seals and far more important as they only provide a low heat at around 50 degrees and rely on on a completely sealed system to ensure the air is circulated with out leaks.
basic principle is air is drawn through the drum collecting moisture from the load, then it flows over the evaporator releasing that moisture when cooled to dew point , then that cooled dry air is used to cool the condenser and remove heat from the refrigerant allowing the refridgeration system to work correctly, the the warm dry air from the condenser is pushed back into the drum to start the whole process again.
If there are any air leaks anywhere in this process then the whole system fails.
Re: Hotpoint fdl570 dishwasher dead
Really common in some places, EOS dishwashers and 3 phase Arcadia boards seems to be their favourite
Re: Hotpoint AQLF9D69UK – Parts Diagram needed
I assume its a Long fill machine with the 2 tanks in the base
Just checked what seal you after as there everywhere on that tank ?
Re: John Lewis condenser drier with heat pump
There not bad once you get your head around it I was trained on the Hotpoint one a few years back. Its an dehumidifier basically.
one big problem we found with the HP one is instead of a condenser there is a filter for the evaporator and condenser, this must be clean very regularly, more concerning was the amount of lint build up in the evaporator, one I saw was so badly blocked it barely worked at all, te major issue is there is no easy way to clean this, I ended up completely stripping it down, removing all the electrics out of it and hosing it down in the garden and then rebuilding it.
Was sweet as a nut after that mind.
First things to check is the compressor running ? It can take a few minutes to run when first turned on , You should only get around 50 degrees (that’s what HP state) in the flow duct to the drum.
Re: Hotpoint fdl570 dishwasher dead
If its completely dead and your getting power to the module at the bottom I’d bet the bottom board is dead.
Quite common failure on these, they also seem to attract slugs as well so check the back of the board for the fried remains of the little beggar.
Re: How is British Gas as an employer
One of the local Indesit lads was BG, he does not have good things to say.
Its not really the engineers fault with the lack of knowledge as they have to work on every make, any thing problematic get pushed back to the manufacture.
Your more like the first line of fault repairs, you do the basic stuff, put it this way Iv turned up to calls where BG had left the rear half for me to change on a Hotpoint V2 so they won’t do to much.
The main downside he said was its 7 day shift work so could be working all sorts of days and a very limited selection of parts so it difficult to get your bonus.Re: indesit wixl163 pcb
It does not exist, Indesit don’t even give engineers that info.
My bet though it would be the one bolted to the heat sink, but F01 is a very generic fault. It could be any part of the motor circuit on the board and wiring.
Not being funny but if you don’t know how to find it your not going to have much success on repairing it.
Re: Kettle has died, what make should I get now?
I believe Indesit are releasing a range of small kitchen appliances.
Worth a look 😉
