    Have a close look at the main control unit. Especially look for burnt PCB tracks.

    In that case the problem is with the main control board. 🙁

    I can’t figure your stance on this Ken, I wish I could. Either way I don’t give a monkeys TBH. Instead I’ll leave it to others to contribute, though I suspect the silence to be deafening, as is generally the case when serious topics pop up now and then on here. 🙁

    It is however a power supply problem. For everything to go off then back on again is a power cut problem. Once the power is re-established it continues from where it left off. So if it’s not the connection at the back or the plugtop then it has to be the wall socket. Burned terminals?

    You’re not listening! I’m not talking stats, you are. I’m not flying fancifully about appliance fires, they are facts! Shoosh happens, tower blocks burn, people die. What causes it? Who’s forensic evidence proves it? What makes them ignite?

    You appear to be in denial about fridge linings. They are flammable, evidence proves it. They shouldn’t be. Mattresses years ago were just as flammable and today regulations are in place to ensure they are no longer sold. The fire authorities sought to get those regs in place, result. You can sleep in peace now. Regs are in place, our government acted!

    kwatt wrote:FYI, I worked out the rough stats on risk level in percentage here….

    In your article Ken you refer to “our” and “we”, who are these people? They certainly don’t speak for the majority of Trade members including (unsurprisingly) me.

    The white goods of today are more prone to catching fire due to their poor construction and weakness toward abuse. UKW trade members have mentioned flammable fridge insulation, PCB’s that combust setting light to plastic panels and trims. Drums that break loose and ‘explode’, dryers with open wire elements prone to fluff ingress. A whole wealth of poorly designed appliances using unsafe materials.

    I applaud LFB’s stance. They have to deal with the tragic end of these product failures. The tragedy of Shepherds Bush and Grenfell will, with everyone’s support, go some way into preventing these occurrences from happening. That includes high profile websites such as yours. You and “our” and “we” should be supporting the cause, not spouting bullocks about statistics “0.00095{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}” and “no call to panic” Just one death resulting from an appliance fire is tragic and we must all panic and question “Why did this happen?” “Can it be avoided?” and the white goods trade members can lend weight to that cause.

    When I discovered my daughter’s fridge was one recalled I did panic but did something about it immediately. A potential fire risk of a fridge with a flammable back in an apartment building was made safe.

    It would have been good PR for UKW if you, we and our, supported the likes of the LFB but you choose not to, which is a shame. 🙁

    Re: Bosch washer dryer

    Often as not the dryer heating element goes faulty causing E13 to show.

    Open the door by pulling on the emergency release tab behind the bottom kick panel (see user instruction booklet) 😀

    I forgot to add, and since listening to J Vine on iPlayer the topic really got nowhere. Much like many TV and radio programs regarding the recent tumble dryer recall.

    Pressure now put on the government to act since Grendel though will now force the issue of white goods safety and the regs being urgently up-dated.

    Re: Bosch D/washer SMS50T22GB/28 ‘Check Water’ Lit At 2nd Fi

    Not exactly no. After 3 yrs the drain pump may well be a caution also. Filling/draining issues of this nature can be frustrating to say the least. The reed switch would mainly cause filling issues and the pump of cause draining probs.

    Nothing but a pain these bl@@dy machines in my book!

    It’s made in China I believe but parts are available over here. Probably need a drum rear half though I suspect also the drum shaft will be badly damaged given the noise it makes. Cost of parts may equal close to what you paid for it.

    In essence it’s a machine on a budget that when they fail in such a major way it is beyond economical repair.

    But yes, it can be fixed 😀

    Re: Ohms for a novice??

    Many modern electronic controlled ovens fail when the oven light blows. Their circuit board/timer control goes south 🙁

    It would help enormously if you impart what make AND full model of oven you have?

    Re: Bosch Avantix dishwasher, not draining. water detect swi

    …..OR the pump is clapped out and sticks when very hot water is in the tub. If there is any lateral movement of the impeller then it is worn out (or knackered as we say in the trade 😉 ) If the dishwasher is more than 5 yrs old the pump will be so afflicted. 🙁
