I see, yes the centre hole. Clearly the domed tub mounting is worn and the rubber grommets don’t compress down enough to compensate. You may have to do a little ‘modification’ to at least one if not both suspension rods.

It should then give you the option of selecting between 1 and 5 as per the hardness chart (see below). Does it not show any number in the window then?
Re: Which dishwasher?!
Avoid Bosch, Neff, Siemens, Hotpoint, Indesit and Smeg. Miele are all you wish for, the rest just a lottery.
Re: AEG L87695WD controller issues
All you can do is check and clean the drain filter. Beyond that nothing lest any intervention invalidate the guarantee. Call out the repair agents if the problem persists.
Re: Tumble dryer and washer dryer capacities

Oh, I go way back, back in the mid 60’s when ‘automatics’ we’re in their infancy in the UK. When loading loads coupled with the all new ‘automatic formula’ powders first hit the market. When overloading became a problem with the Hoover Keymatic 3208. Their plastic gears were shredding as a result and several of us from the John Lewis group were invited to Perivale.
That was the first time I was indoctrinated into the difference of fabrics, their combined weights and loading capacity within an automatic washing machine.
Since those early days, machines have progressed as have detergents. The one thing that hasn’t is the fact that cotton is different to wool and nylon and silk. All fabrics have different volumes and weight. And all are carefully measured and tested by the appliance manufacturers to ensure they will be satisfactorily washed. The results of which a carefully documented in that all important user instruction booklet.
Perhaps all that makes me a little guilty of teaching granny etc etc and apologies for that as I don’t wish to be patronising. But it just might help the OP and others less informed.

kwatt wrote:The point I am making is, you cannot use weight for a volumetric measurement where there is no constant and, with laundry there ain’t. Simple.
Do you know what Ken? I’m thinking that you haven’t ever bothered to try because otherwise you would know. 😉
So, next time you feel the need, go weight your dirty towels. Put them up to the recommended weight limit for your washer and hit start. Then do the same, this time with your synthetics and check out the fact that the spacing with the total drum volume is exactly the same.
Spooky or what? The conclusion is that the manufacturer has done the testing for you and for a perfect results wash.
Give it a go! 🙂
Re: Tumble dryer and washer dryer capacities
I truly don’t get why such a simple question requires such rhetoric and waffle to be honest. The manufacturer of each and every laundry appliance states, in their user instructions, the maximum loading of each type of garment.
Using a 7kg capacity washing machine as an example one will see that only cottons are capable of the 7kg maximum. Whereas delicates (or woollens) and it’s only a 2kg load will fill that machine to capacity. Your frilly lingerie restricted to a weight maximum of just 1kg before it is stuffed to the limit.
Using the example above, a 7kg tumble dryer accepts loading (dry weight) in exactly the same capacities. So once the washer has washed then the lot can be safely transferred into the dryer.
The secret to all this is NOT to mix loads. You do that and you cock the whole system up and suffer the potential consequences.
OR, to compress the whole subject into just 4 words : READ THE USER INSTRUCTIONS!
Re: The curious tale of a Bosch w/dryer
Next year is it you’re retiring? A chance to finally put the toolbox away and rid yourself of the frustration of dealing with errant Bosch bearing issues. Time to relax, spend the morning cutting the lawn followed by a little light weeding before spending the afternoon reading the paper.
Happy days to come 🙂

Yes I couldn’t help notice, they sure didn’t. And I thought it was just politicians that didn’t answer simple questions. 🙂
The capacities of all dryers, washer-dryers and washing machines are quoted as DRY WEIGHT.
Re: Bosch WAS32466 w/m No Spin
Might be the magnetic load sensor on the pulley causing problems. Or it could be low earth insulation on the motor. Did you megger the motor?
Oh, and the FULL Enr number of the machine would be best to give. 😉
Re: Bosch Electric Hob turning itself off
That all important number we seek is on a rating plate underneath the appliance. So if it is under a built in oven then only by pulling that oven out can you access that underside. Meanwhile we can only speculate what the actual problem is. I personally rule out ventilation. More likely a control board issue or such like.
But, at some point you will need to start taking the thing apart and to do that then you will be able to see what model ( out of a potential 50 appliances options) it is.

Re: Electrolux
I haven’t heard from Jackal in a while. He was a bit poorly last time we communicated so I do hope he’s OK?
Re: Bosch Electric Hob turning itself off
Not sure about the ventilation theory TBH. Do please give us the FULL model number (ENr number) of the appliance (it’s no use to us just quoting from a multi appliance booklet no’s). It could be electronic board issues or bad connections so that all important number could well help greatly. 🙂
