Sadly we on this site are not into Domestic Boilers. I would advise you contact your local plumber or indeed a plumbers merchant (Like Plumb Center for example)

Re: electra awm900b eco no h/w, making tap water putrid

Crikey, no, in a word :con:

Never in over 40 years in the trade have I heard that one before 😯

A cold water inlet valve is not very costly at all to replace if you think that would cure the problem? I also know that the blue and red pvc inlet hoses can pong a bit when new, but not to any extreme, and clear after a few gallons have passed through.

So I’m stumped beyond that I’m afaid 🙁

Thanks for that Paul,

Well I’m pretty certain that the washing machine and/or it’s cold inlet hose connection will not cause “backwashing” to your sink tap.

The problem more likely due to some weird plumbing configuration under the sink, possibly due to low water pressure? Is that sink tap direct from the mains and do you have a good water pressure? Or is it fed off your house ‘Header Tank’ in which case the pressure will be an issue here 😕

Antposh,

D’ya know? I’ve always fancied a pink three legged Greyhound as a pet 💡 Happen I’ll give ’em a bell, see if they got any :rotfl:

But seriously, I wonder why you posted the question in the first place ❓
You would’nt be ‘Shifty the Tipster’ down at Walthamstow Stadium by any chance :lol2:

Hi Paul,

I don’t fully understand that statement 😕 I take it you have a seperate cold feed pipe with stop tap that goes to the washing machine, possible a hot supply as well?

Paulkent wrote:Also no Hot water is getting through/being pumped.

Or maybe you haven’t a hot water supply 🙁

Paulkent wrote:Are there two independant pumps?

Do you mean water inlet valves? ……..Yes indeed.

But do please clarify those points and I will see what the problem is likely to be 😀

Re: Zanussi DCS14W Leaking..Constantly Trying To Drain

LouLou wrote:A second diagnosis (on the phone mind you) from another engineer,

Loulou,

I doubt those engineers were from SERVICE FORCE (the approved repairers) were they? And can I suggest that unless you contact Service Force and ask, you may well get put off by other comments purely and simply because not only do they not want the job, but have’nt a clue about it or have seen one. They then simply (dare I suggest) spin a yarn to put you off 🙁

Personally I reckon its just a slight leak that needs sorting and would be cheap to fix, by the right person/company 😉

Re: Indesit eveloution 1400, fault f12

Mitch,

It refers to a “Communication Error between Control Modules” 🙁

In plain english that means a bad connection somewhere or dry joint :rtm:

Hope that helps 😀

roly16 wrote:Have you got a result on this job yet Martin?

Nope, I quoted the worst case scenario to my customer though! I guess by now she has had it replaced 🙁

The lesson learned for me here is that this vintage of machine made by Bosch/Siemens involved huge great PCB’s/Power Boards and fancy stepper timers. These have now evolved into smaller, cheaper, easier to diagnose as faulty and replace Timer/Module Units.

Using the latest direct equivalent as an example, the WFR2860. That has a small, compact Module Control Unit that is sofisticated in the extreme and very reliable to boot (albeit the programmes take forever to complete – try just setting one to DRAIN ONLY to see what I mean it takes 11mins 45 seconds 🙁 )

Oh! and it doesn’t have the light that comes on in the drum at the end of the cycle…I guess they gave up on that idea 😐

qué será será :rotfl:

Re: Indesit 1130 (OMEGA 1100?) washing machine not draining

Jen,

The problem is that the pump will need some close attention. I would recommend contacting a local engineer to check it out for you. Should’nt be too costly to sort either 🙂

Re: Ariston Margeritha AL 128 D.. won´t turn on

clandestine,

I sounds like the main Computer Board has failed I’m afraid 🙁

It can be repaired here in the UK using :-

Otherwise a new board is very costly and may be uneconomical to repair 😥 .

Thanks for adding them Ken :worthy:

This one is for Kevin :stir:

This one saves me typing “Thanks Dave” all the time :wave:

And this one we ALL should use when Ken starts throwing things :duck:

P.S. The shocked one doesn’t work Ken ‘cos is shares the same name as the other one (needs changing please!)

Re: SERVIS M2410S DRUM STOPPED

Then it’s not the motor or its capacitor at fault, or even the wiring. Unfortunately your timer is at fault I reckon 🙁

As Clive also suggests 😉

Re: zanussi de6744s

Well I sent it to you at 17:36 and I got a BCC (to myself) back straight away to confirm my server works….It should turn up later I am sure. If not send ME an email and I can attach the info you need 😉

Re: SERVIS M2410S DRUM STOPPED

Then it is likely the motors capacitor is faulty?…But first, does the motor just hum or is it completely dead?
