    Re: JL (Zanussi) T Dryer dead?

    It sure sounds like it Jim. I bet it’s just a cap or resistor that’s given out on that board.

    That is the ENr number 😀

    That model is fitted with an anti flood switch in the base. So I’m thinking the base must now be flooded.

    My guess is that there are a couple of screws underneath. Once removed the stainless fascia panel can be pulled forward slightly then lifted clear to reveal the wood screws holding the unit to the carcass. Just a guess mind 😉

    Replace the hot valve but only after you’ve checked that the hot water supply hasn’t been switched off or the valve’s fine mess filter isn’t simply blocked?

    Re: All our yesterdays.

    Oh God this old trip back into nostalgia and delirium. 🙁

    Yeah two bob piece, 10p, 2p whatever fitted to giggle that ruddy indicator cam, string, spring and red dial back to the beginning. The hours we field trainers spent trying to test those flipping modules. Plugging them into a antiquated test block with link wires plugged in all over the shop. Backplates that cracked because those bolts weren’t locktited in properly.

    I built a complete brand spanking1600 for my own personal use by ordering spares from Lutterworth. The joy I felt when the lid and cabinet was delivered to the Reading Depot I recall to this day. 4 yrs trouble free service that thing gave, remarkable!

    Best looking washing machine EVER I reckon (only reason it sold, truth be known 😉 )

    Does the oven and hob then have their own supply back to the MCB?

    The problem is caused by damp fluff lining the inside of the condenser duct. Mould and mildew form in the warm damp environment. The only cure is to remove and clean that condenser unit. Also cleaning the outer drum with Affresh or Dr Beckman as a dirty drum also gets very smelly when warm air enters the drum during the long drying process.

    The situation is made very much worse if owners only use the dryer part of the washing cycle once in a blue moon AND do no carry out a regular service wash. 😕

    If you have only recently taken out the additional cover the ‘terms & conditions’ should state when claims would be acceptable. Normally between 3 and 6 months I would guess.

    Re: Neff dishwasher S5453 fills & drains

    You’ll need to track the circuit leading to that triac to find out what component caused it to blow. Top suspects:

    Water point diverter unit
    Dispenser solenoid
    Circulating pump

    So a costly fix whatever. 🙁

    Re: what is best wattage for a vacuum cleaner?

    Shark are just appearing on the UK market from the USA. From my experience of using one in the US ( the UK one looks similar) they are pretty poor, heavy, cumbersome and the extended tools pretty crappy. Interestingly the Sebo X4 pet was originally sold in the USA as a commercial usage vacuum cleaner and only recently available now from the likes of Walmart, but expensive to what they cost in the UK.
