    Gosh! This takes me back a while, you know Covid happened since then! I think I was stumped as much as you are so I simply mentioned on type of pans being used and left it there. Not heard anything since so maybe she took my advice?

    Thanks for getting back – right I’ll maybe take some of my pans which are heavy stainless steel and give them a go. Worth a try.

    have you looked in the owners manual as would need serial no to look it up

    I’ve asked the client who says there is a manual and she will dig it out. Hopefully it will have a serial number.

    To be frank, at 24/yrs old Imwould consider a repair a waste of money, as so much will be obsolete for it anyway.

    Yes, agreed. When I got called out the client had already bought springs and cables from Zanussi – wrong parts – wrong advice.

    take the kick strip off and the door outer and see how things look from there

    Thanks for the part number Dave. I could find no way of removing the kick strip – no screws visible, so it has to pop off, but could get no movement when prying various locations. I read somewhere that the outer door panel has to come off first so will re-visit and give that a go.

    The machine give error E15 (Ef) (15 sequences of flashing lights) which corresponds to

    At the end of a water load, the Pressostat correctly trips to the “full tank” contact, but the Liters Counter has counted less than 20
    impulses (for 3 times).”

    I’m finding this hard to accept because it only tries to fill for 20 seconds before going back into drain cycle. Is it possible to encounter a pressure stat in which the diaphragm (if they even have diaphragms) weakens and trips early, ie, is over sensitive? I think I’m going to have to replace the water counter and the pressure sensor next time I visit because I’m tired of pulling that machine out from behind the kick boards lol.

    Hi, I checked my logs and see there was an email deleted by my spam software and I can no longer access it. Would you please send it to me again? Many thanks, Mark

    Before you do, I would get a decent DMM with or without insualtion testing (up to 1000v) or buy a stand alone insulation tester.

    Thanks for the advice, I’m planning on getting a stand alone megga.

    Thanks Lawrence. It might be time to buy a megga, my DMM is not up to some of these tasks.

    in reply to: Temperature sensor for Hotpoint HS2322L (47778190101) #490876

    Thinking about this, the sensor seems to be behaving as expected even though its resistance slope is quite steep, and getting a datasheet for the sensor could take hours of digging. So I think it’s likely the sensor is OK and the PCB thermostat is the problem. These are £100 from Hotpoint and come unprogrammed and I have not tools or experience in programming such a board. Add to this that the fridge is 10 years old. Its days are over.
