This was two years ago Mal, and as I have not had a call back I assume it was fixed at the time. 😉 😀

Doh! 😳 never noticed the date! Strange that it came up as an unswered post for me to take notice of it in the first place. Website isn’t a bit iffy is it? I know it is slowRe: Hotpoint WT540 relays clicking.
I presume you have checked the motor? is the machines insulation resistance ok?

Welcome to our world good luck, good idea to switch off the electricity before you move it
Re: De Dietrich Freezer cooling problem
The compressor will be very hot to touch if it is running.If it is hot and the freezer is not getting cold enough then you may have a system problem (faulty compressor or refrigerant leak)generally not economical to repair. If the compressor is cold then you may be able to have the unit repaired but I would suggest you leave that to an engineer
Re: zanussi fridge freezer zss75x
Hi Simon
That will be a ZSS7/5X then is it? 8)
To check to see if the stat is working or not is easy, link terminals 4 and 6, if the compressor starts then the stat is faulty. Part no 50117492004 (I think check it) If that does not work then you need to check the compressor and starter relay and capacitor (starter is 50223639001)
PM me if you want the wiring diag.

How do you know the freezer is to cold? have you used a thermometer to check? it should be in the area of -18 ish
I would suggest that you do a complete 48 hour de-frost and then see how it operates after that before you go any further.Re: Bosch sms50e02gb/2
I would change the flow meter they are a cheap as chips pt/no 611317 I think for that model, and nip the connector up a bit.

Re: Appliance fires not on any re-calls
I can’t see the point of us discussing this any further, all I asked at the beginning of this thread “was there a list”
What I will say is that I can understand what you are saying Ken, basically the pathetic lack of interest from the nation at whole.
As for appliances being safer or more reliable than they used to be is in my opinion debatable. In the thirty odd years that I have been in this industry I have never seen so many burnt out components in appliances, as there has been in the last few years mainly PCB’s or PCB generated, as I write this I have just returned from a Chinese made dishwasher that has components burnt out and close to starting a fire, another one for my “list”
Rest my CaseRe: Appliance fires not on any re-calls

Although a common theme in them is that they all seem to happen through the night when everyone is in bed or no-one is in the house at the time. Read into that what you will.
K.I would like to think that it would not be completely useless; it would show that as an organization we feel a responsibility to the public, even if the manufacturers ignore us. Do you not think the media would also “prick up their ears” in the long term if we have a “list” as I suggest of all the various models and makes causing danger?
What a headline if they could outline the scale of the problem that as you say Ken is not generally published at present, they love to get their teeth into something especially if another person/organization has done the work for them.
I would like to think that we could say “you heard it here first”Re: Advice needed – Safety Issue!
We see them daily but they wont play ball with independants. Simple solution is to inform UKWG, parts suppliers etc, our email addresses are on the records, simples……world of technology. Then as well we see the “other makes and models” which have similar faults. Good feedback is what is needed on a two way basis
