Re: Bosch WFL 2000 Flashing Active light
Davis,
Most likely it’s a pump blockage (in filter) or the pump itself has failed 🙁
Check to see if the pump impellor rotates freely and shows no signs of wear.Pull the plug first!!!

Ah yes! the dreaded Brembate Drum, you’ll be seeing more of these in other examples if I’m any judge of Antonio Merloni 😆

Good for you Dave, and the expense is worth it because they’re a reasonably reliable machine all in all I reckon 🙂

As far as I know they can be relied on yes 🙂 The relay on those boards are natoriously unreliable also 😉
You will probably have to submit both the main module AND the display module for repair/inspection ❓

Richard,
No not at all in this instance 😛
Brian has a important part to play in this forum and I believe he takes on board all of our comments :tup: After all, he wouldn’t bother to ask the question if he felt we out here were “p**ing in the wind!”
Rather, the truth is, he knows full well that he needs us as we need him and through such dialogue we can ALL enjoy the future in this trade 🙂

IMHO of course not, I would lose the job at that price. Generally a mark-up of between 40 & 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} for this motor is fair and realistic. I can buy this item from my wholesalers for around £42 so then I sell on to my customer for around £61.
The problem I very often encounter though is that when in a customers house and looking up a part such as this( on the dreaded Partfinder) it only displays the ‘list price’. Quoting directly from that information could well cost me a lost job at £81.60. 🙁 As we can learn from this example, list pricing can be very misleading to say the least.
As a result, I defer my quotation to my customer until I have gone back to the office and shopped around for a decent purchase price from a wholesaler, THEN quote the job 🙂
Who dreams up these ‘LIST PRICES’ anyway ❓
Martin
P.S And my charge locally(as a Sole trader with fierce local competition) within 5 miles of base is : £35 😆 (but then you knew that Brian 😆

Re: cread 17076 washer
Graham,
Looking at the damaged part of the Timer PCB should give you a clue what caused it. It is common for either the pump windings or the door interlock to cause this on the later series of this model.

Re: Candy CIC60
Gouldy,
The fault will likely mean that the element or thermostat are at fault. You will need to contact an expert to check it out for you. A few are listed on this site if you look in “Directories” on the navigation bar.

Re: Creda T632CW Tumble Dryer Heater ain’t heating
Joe,
I would guess the problem is in fact NOT the element at all but that the Thermostats (Part No : 1701583) have blown.
Both element and thermostats are accessed by removing the metal cover off the rear completely.
