Rusty spots on cutlery could be due to metallic pollutants from steel cookware? Salt container cap not tightened securely and salt leaking through? Old stainless cutlery simply washed out?
Bits on crockery often a result of insufficient water spray action caused by: Overloading, insufficient water filling, blocked holes in spray arms or using an ‘economy wash’ setting with a full load!

ParticipantRe: Zannusi service manual
Service Manuals are on the TDS Disc and in .pdf file format (About 1.1 meg in size) I can see a ZX56/4SI manual (109 pages long!) Would you like me to email that to you???

ParticipantRe: Hotpoints new Parts policy
The trouble with these plastic pumps is that in order to secure the flexi drive, the corbin clip is useless in the extreme. The only solution is a jubilee clip and because that is ‘unbalanced’ it takes the pulley out within 18 months at best.
Ive tried cable ties and they are no good either 😥

You’ve figured it out so far and if not you are getting ‘very warm’ in your assumptions as to how to access. 🙂
Don’t forget the wire spring clip on the door seal 😉

I loved the pun by the way Jim (thin on the ground)….. 😆
But my point is, I never knew Bosch did a 40cm deep machine until this thread cropped up (Thinks…I wonder if Don knows??)
In the past there have been many enquiries over machines with a shallow depth. Zanussi did one a few years ago (i.e FL853) and Baumatic also.
Interesting stuff!

ParticipantRe: Bosch Exxcel Dishwasher making strange noise
Steve,
Try this….tip your machine backwards (not sideways) about 45 degrees to see if any water comes out of the base (Have a floorcloth handy to mop up though!)..
On the other hand, if no water comes out….it could be the main circulation pump has seized….. 😯
POWER OFF FIRST THOUGH OK?:zap: :zap:Martin
ParticipantRe: WASHING MACHINE IS DOING SOMETHING STRANGE!
Do this check then. Set it (without washing) on the programme that failed. But turn OFF the hot water stopcock, and leave the cold on…..does it fill with cold I wonder?

I’m puzzled by this statement though I must admit 😕

ParticipantRe: WASHING MACHINE IS DOING SOMETHING STRANGE!
I expect the cold inlet valve has failed and it doesn’t take in cold water during the rinse part of the cycle….correct?

ParticipantRe: Magnetic pump design.
Your observations are quite correct I reckon, and goes to show what a great device they’ve turned out to be overall. Functional and adaptable to many and varied products, cheap to produce, cheap to replace and very profitable for us as repairers.
I’m sure statistically the advent of the magnet pump over the shaded pole has been a godsend to us all 🙂

ParticipantRe: Candy CE101 – Timer won’t advance
If it does spin for around 5 mins or so then switch off automatically, your Timer may be OK? But if it sticks forever on spin as well, then the Timer is at fault!

Not a seperate part listing for it then, no wonder I couldn’t see it on Partfinder 🙄
Can you tell me if it’s a mechanical stat or an NTC then?
Martin
ParticipantRe: Candy CE101 – Timer won’t advance
Serious question: If you set it on ‘spin only’ will it switch off then?

There’s a screw adjacent the dispenser aperture 😉

Not a lot, best call in an engineer (see link below) to check it out 😉
