    No!

    You would need part no: 144305 (approx £50)

    Hold on one minute Bill, the machine in question is in a soft water area, the local advice was that no salt was required, I merely confirmed that for stro1971 it was not necessary to add salt.

    Who mentioned tablets in this case?…not me 🙄

    It’s called a ‘Fluff Filter Cap’ (part no : 601996) and costs around £5

    Replacement available via emailing spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk 🙂

    I’m afraid your motor is the likely problem, probably burnt out. Costly to replace too 😥

    Re: To Salt or Not to Salt ??

    You are doing everything correctly. Salt will not be required, rinse aid will only be required if your glasses dry with spots or smears on. And powder is the correct detergent to use (cheaper than tablets anyway).

    Carry on, all should be fine 😀

    Re: Hotpoint WM 65 Spin problem

    Oh dear!

    Looks like the armature is also at fault 🙁 Earlier motor armatures can be replaced dependent on the serial number of your machine to confirm that though. Do not persist in running the motor in these circumstances as you can blow the Timer/Module unit also 😯

    Expert assistance may be your best option (see link below)

    Re: Indesit WD12

    15 flashes refers to a ‘dryer element’ fault or its thermal coupling?

    10 flashes is a water level sensing error?

    Module connector plugs are always a very suspect and weak point that can give these errors also 😉

    I once had a bumber sticker on my van (in the days when chrome bumpers were the must have design accessory 8) ) which read : “Save gas, fart in a jar!”

    Here’s the modern alternative that works better and is REAL CHEAP FUEL:-

    Re: Siemens model SPS 5122 overfill problem

    There are no service manuals available. It is a very difficult machine to access and repair. To correct the fault to your machine will require dismantling to some degree especially the water level metering system, therefore I recommend you seek expert help 😉

    It’s a completely different machine to yours Jo and does not bear any relation to your problem 🙁

    Loose conterweight or drum bearing problems are the 2 options to investigate. If there’s brown rust stains on the floor under your machine, then thats a dead give-away to bearing failure 🙁

    No!…new motor only (or good used one I guess?)

    (I know you checked the motor with an Ohmmeter but did you not check it also with a 500volt ‘Insulation tester’ as well?)

    Almost certainly it’s the glass fibre foil wrapped insulation causing the acrid fumes escaping into the kitchen. It will dissipate over a period of time as a rule. To shorten that time it would be best to do a couple more oven cleaning cycles with the room well ventilated.

    In extreme cases it has been known for the manufacturers or their agents to replace the entire insulation in order to overcome this phenomenon. 🙁
