Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers

“More action is needed” say Trading Standards, a Government funded toothless organisation that has itself faced severe cutbacks.
So, basically, everyone sits on their hands and Whirlpool has taken it upon itself to sort out the situation. It was ever thus when recalls or safety notices are issued here on planet UK.
Re: Motor lifetime – Bosch washing machine
Yes the commutator wears of course and a carbon brush groove is all too apparent on closer inspection. The armature commutator can be easily refurbished and the groove smoothed out using a ‘commutator bedding stick’. Readily available from many spares web sites and easy to impliment. 😀
Re: Do I need a new fan?
Yes you need a new fan, but a squirt of 3 in one on the motor end frame bearings might be a get out of jail card?

The most recent ‘heat pump system’ dryer has lessened the chances of fire as they don’t use open wire coiled heating elements.

Usually it’s a throw away item. What model number is it anyway?
Re: Zanussi ZDC – activate new PCB
But have you bought a configured or non configured PCB? What is the part number of it? ServiceForce are the only guys able to do a software configuration by the way.
Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers
Rest easy Twicknix, don’t lose any sleep over this. Your customers aren’t going to be getting a refund. Heed the advice, you haven’t sold any new dryer that wasn’t fit for purpose. In spite of your misgivings there’s no blame on you therefore no claim.

How can a tumble dryer that, the manufacturer states is safe to continue using, be proven by your customer as ‘not fit for purpose’ and therefore have any right to a full or partial refund from you?
Why would you even consider it? How would you work out the degree of depreciation once it is out of the manufacturers warranty anyway?
MSE’s advice on contacting the retailer is a nonesense in this case. The dryers are still fit for purpose, the recall only a safety precaution.
Re: Diplomat oven element ABA4640
You’ll need to remove the back panel and undo the fixing nuts on the outside in this case.

I would advise caution here when messing with gas appliances. My guess is that the OP has little or no experience dealing with gas repairs. Always but always consult a Gas Safe approved repairer to carry out such work. :tup:
Re: Zanussi ZDC – activate new PCB
There are two types of electronic control board, configured and non configured. With the former there is no set up required but for the latter it requires special software configuration. The fully configured PCB is part no: 973916094507019
