    Re: Hoover Hsp 15 triple AAA

    Blank it off is the better option having first removed the red hose from the stop-cock. You can get a ‘3/4 BSP blacking cap’ from B&Q superstores or any local plumbers merchant. 😉

    It simply screws over the threads of the hot stop-cock :tup:

    Ross,

    There are no less than 4 variants that fit your machine. To be sure of giving you the correct information, I need the exact model number and serial number (usually on the back).

    I suspect you actually have a W143S UK ?

    Yes!

    Either the Safety thermostat (part of the kit you fitted) has gone again through misuse (i.e. Not using Cool-down part of cycle?) or the actual element has not gone open circuit (the most common thing to happen) or finally you haven’t wired the terminals securely and ones come off?

    One of those answers should cover it I expect 8)

    Re: worst thing

    Smelly brown ‘sludge’ ousing from a disconnected sump hose/blocked filter, only to discover the ‘nanny’ had put in a load of terry towelling nappies without first emptying the contents 😯

    Re: Welcome Alexa

    Wow!

    Lots of comments there Alexa, you never hold back on anything do you? Which is very encouraging from my point of view and ample justification for your position as a Moderator that’s for sure. Your views and input will be most welcome but perhaps its best if we deal with each of your many points one step at a time.

    Delegation is often the best approach to many tasks involving improvements to the site so stand by with your voluntary skills sooner rather than later.

    I would however like to take up just one of your comments:-

    alexa wrote:4/. Members dropping off (Welcome Mat Forum)

    Very very strange how many new members join the site, make instant postings and comments, give forth praise of its many facilities and then simply bugger off, never to return 😕

    What causes this in so many instances? We desperately need more and more trade members to participate but yet they are the first to ‘drop off’ the site?? Could it be that they have difficulty navigating through the thousands of topics and postings, unable to figure out how to join in? or simply just too frightened to hit the ‘submit’ button?

    When you go back to many of the 2003 and 2004 postings from trade members you will see what I mean, click on their ‘profile’ to see when they last posted….?

    One of my local ‘competitors’ joined the site earlier this year. (Great bloke and we’ve been in friendly rivalry for 25 odd years occasionally passing work too and fro etc) He found this site like you and Penguin45 (by accident) and PM’d me to say what a brilliant site it was…….he’s never been back since????

    Oh, and before anyone comments that it might be me causing this phenomenon? Ha! Ha! beat you too it :wave:

    Finally, yes that bloody roo is far too big, I’d better shrink it down to size :martin:

    Re: zanussi tle1116w – bearings issue

    But as far as I know there are 2 bearing units needed for this machine (left and right). One on the counterweight side, the other the drive pulley side. Both need changing on a job like this and will line up the inner drum as a result?

    Re: 8-year old Bosch washer stops mid-cycle

    Mike,

    The pump although looks OK will almost certainly need replacing. Just check the impellor closely and if it has any lateral movement at all, its a goner. Also the drain hose from the pump goes to a water reservoir at the back of the machine (inside) before it enters the drain hose. That most likely is bunged up with gunge after 8 years 😉

    No repair/service manuals are available I’m afraid 🙁

    It’s likely your problem is associated with the Heating circuit or Control Module if that helps ❓

    If not try getting one of our local recommended engineers to take a look using this link Repairs@
