Re: Bosch washer (WFL2260) won’t drain ‘normal’ programm
Board faulty? Nah!
Try that rinse and spin.
Re: Zanussii ZWD122070W hot but damp after drying.
The resistance values are reasonable though it doesn’t confirm if the valve is OK though if it was electrically faulty it would throw up an error code on the display (E12 for example). A more basic test is to simply observe if water is actually flowing into the condenser? The symptoms suggest it doesn’t. You should be able to see a trickle of water flowing down the transparent tube and into the condenser unit. I’m thinking that doesn’t happen meaning the valve needs replacing.
(A fluff blocked condenser will also cause similar symptoms so you might take a look at that to ensure it is clear)

Does it work OK just using a rinse and spin cycle (without a load)?

Ah well in that case remove the lid as the electronics are at the top. Easy with the heat blasting now !!

Oh, a washer-dryer is it? Even better :rolls:
I bet the service manual on the condenser unit makes no mention of covering the PCB prior to dismantling. (Don’t aswer that I don’t wish to know, it’s just me being a tad sardonic 😉 )
Re: Siemens XLP 1400 (WXLP165AGB) not starting
I suspect that may be the case and therefore the machine has a degree of moisture (condensation) affecting the electronic circuitry. The machine needs to be disconnected from the mains (pull the plug) then raise the room temperature above 15C and allow 48 hrs for it to dry out naturally. Longer if possible, higher room temperature will shorten the downtime before you can plug in and try it once more.
Fingers crossed 🙂
Re: Siemens XLP 1400 (WXLP165AGB) not starting
Has or is the machine out in a cold outbuilding or been brought in from the cold recently?

– Check for water leaks that may affect connector J009 causing the
contacts to short circuit;The very first line in the manual, such a fundamental design error to locate the main board in a place that could be affected by water leaks. Hotpoint, the market leader, design and build such rubbish year in year out ignoring a basic schoolboy rule of electrical conductivity. Placing the main board at the lowest possible point and directly behind the pump – brilliant
Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers
……..but then no matter how thorough a forensic examination can be, and the Shepherds Bush fire conclusion confirms this, the blame cannot be placed on the manufacturer in any way, shape or form for its failings. The only conclusive proof the flat fire was due to the tumble dryer was the scorched lino underneath. It was even hard to establish the brand of dryer in this case let alone the model.
So this case fully confirms all that Ken has been going on and on about throughout this lengthy thread, that ultimately the user/owner is almost entirely responsible for the appliance’s failings. And that at no point can the manufacturer be at fault OR be forced to do more than they have already volunteered to do in issuing a safety notice.
If a brand new dryer were to catch fire the moment it was first switched on then chances are the manufacturer would have to take full responsibility. To my knowledge there has been no such occurences and only after a lengthy period of ownership usage have these dryers failed. A sufficient elapsed time period with which the onus can be heaped on the user.
So, in the case of the Shepherds Bush fire that owner will have a hefty pile of insurance claims to deal with. Perhaps even a few county court attendances? Where there’s blame and all that 😉

Does sound a costly choice for an old, potentially tired machine that’s pretty well reached its expected and average life.
As long as you have a written quote and not just a verbal ‘estimate’ you won’t need pay if it doesn’t fix. Consumer rights and all that.
Many pcb’s can be repaired and many failings of pcb’s are due to some other component ‘blowing’ the pcb’s. So overall a potential liability to fix and if it is successfully fixed what else will fail a wash or two afterwards? Lots to ponder. 🙁
Re: Bosch D/W no heat?
I’m thinking the revised part, and its price, have since made the whole issue BER.
