ParticipantRe: Swan Toaster Plastic Case Removal
Radio Hams do like to tinker and in this case Rodney I think if you attempt to remove that plastic case it will just crack and break. Judging by the overhead photo you supplied it could well go silent key on you. 😉

Nope, never come across one but the PNc says it was made in Poland. 😮

Oh dear! If you did that then not one put two things will happen. Firstly the copper tail impregnated in the worn carbon will carve a groove in the commutator segments. Secondly and additional carbon sitting back to back against another will result is dramatic overheating and arcing. So all in all NOT the solution I would recommend at all. 😕

The valve (part no. 50297094000) is available online for around 24 quid. Far cheaper than a new machine I’m thinking. 😉

There are pattern brushes with copper tails available that can be soldered into place but the correct fix is to replace the Carbon Brush Housing and End Frame (part no. 00496876). The latter is a simpler, though more expensive, but greater lasting fix.

Could be, but only careful inspection would confirm 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of course.

ParticipantRe: Hotpoint Tool Case 19
I second Stratfordgirl’s choice. Quality toolbag that can contain all you could need and carry to the job without having to go backwards and forwards down the stair from the top flat just to get a socket set or soldering iron.
Quality and durability come at a price. These cheap plastic/material pockets soon fall apart once you’ve dragged a screwdriver in and out half a dozen times. And the straps holding them upright in the case break soon as looking at them. And when the shoulder strap breaks and your tool case falls on the ground crossing the high street I guarantee the passing no.3a bus will finish the job and make your day go even better! 👿

ParticipantRe: neff dishwasher circulation motor/heater failure
Lots of posts on the subject in recent years Cras. Search Bosch and Siemens also and you will get various different reasons, one or two of which may help you.

ParticipantRe: zanussi dryer zth485
The bad news is it doesn’t have an element, it is a heat pump dryer. 😉
What was the last error detected? That will give you half a clue as to where to look. Have you entered the diagnostics on this beast?

ParticipantRe: Magnetic water softner
It is a nonesense but a great sales aid so you might want to stock a whole bunch of them, the punters will snap them up! To believe it could stop limescale build-up on the heater and associated components is on par to believing in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. But I don’t want to shatter anyones beliefs so judge for yourself. The ‘proof of the pudding’ and all that….

Firstly you need to mark (scratch mark ideal) the end housings and the central stator so that you are sure to reassemble in the same configuration.
Remove the 4 torx headed screws and gently tap the brush end housing off the end of the armature. Seperate the 3 main components and clean thoroughly ( including the commutator segments with ultra fine emery paper)Replace the brushes once you remove the brush ring and place the spring arms against the brush guide prior to reassembly. Reassemble the stator and end housings and screw the long screws back diagonally ensuring the whole unit aligns correctly. Then you can release the sprung loaded brush guides to place the new carbons correctly against the armature’s commutator.
Sorted!

ParticipantRe: zanussi zkc6040x grill
Sounds like that blown grill element may well have fused the grill selector switch contacts?

ParticipantRe: Odd smell around fridge freezer
Have you checked on the Beko web site that yours isn’t included in that recall? You may recall the media hype over Beko’s catching fire? The defrost thermostat at the back giving issues etc etc?

Well TBH, how can I put this? They a rubbish but Jaap is shaping them up as a team. The Royals have not been a coordinated team for 3 seasons now but I feel, having seen them against Brighton today, Mr Stam is getting some progress from them.
