    Re: Clothes ripped

    The tenant would have to prove conclusively that you were at fault? Given the known history of user misuse it would be impossible to determine.

    However maintaining a comfortable relationship with the agent may be your overriding consideration.

    Sort the lifter out and ignore the tenants demand over the clothing would be my take.

    The chamber containing the brown substance is the Ion Exchanger part of the water softening system.It contains polymer resin ‘beads’ a vital ingredient to the water softening process.

    The matrix collar is a conventional thread (anti-clock to unscrew)

    That test rules out heater or NTC problems, which is good :tup:

    NTC’s are pretty darn reliable so I would not venture there. And yes when the NTC signals temperature attained the programmer should proceed. The fact that the programmer does proceed indicates that it too is performing as it should. There’s no halfway house here. 😉

    The drain pump could be an issue though. Filling too especially can be a caution and the Impellor Jug device the usual culprit. Symptoms = Irratic sequence of filling then draining immediately is classic Impeller Jug trouble.

    The correct water level by the way is just lapping the salt cap thread.

    To remove the heater you release the crimped hose clamp that attaches it to the circulation pump AND the two securing screws (not bolts) and ease it away from both the pump and tub.

    The black motorised unit on the heater is the water diverter. (Unserviceable).

    To first confirm whether that unit is at fault you will need to perform a simple test. Namely, turn on the washing cycle and check that the top and bottom spray arms rotate alternately (every 60 seconds) whilst the circulating pump is running. If only one or neither do, yet there is sufficient water in the tub, then chances are the diverter has seized.

    1) The high temp and poor wash most likely indicate that the water diverter (integral part of heater assy) has failed = New heater unit.

    2) Remove solenoid and fit new one quickly to avoid any spillage of saline solution. 😉

    3) Unclip blue fill tube. Remove central matrix fixing screw, unscrew collar inside tub and gently ease matrix up and off salt container.

    Re: Bosch ClassiXX 5 – needs reset after every run.

    Sounds like a drainage time-out error to me. So either the drain filter is clogged or the pump behind it is worn out and needs replacing. Restricted sump hose, sump ball or outlet hose can cause similar symptoms.

    Re: siemens iq700 washing machine softener pump

    The water inlet/aquastop unit is not a serviceable item and very costly to replace too. I suspect the iDos dispenser unit is clogged and needs stripping and cleaning. The whole system is flawed it must be said as too many factors are in place to make it reliable. Not least this hot weather will easily allow the nozzles to clog and the liquid itself to congeal.

    Not much help I know, sorry about that. The link below sheds some light on how we, in the trade, view these auto-dosing systems. 🙁

    Re: NEFF on/off light will not come on

    Turn off the stopcock, release the aqua stop valve from supply then reconnect and turn stopcock back on. In effect by doing that it removes an air lock from the aqua stop valve and should now work….fingers crossed 😉

    Using the SEARCH facility it refers to a fault with the Inverter Board.
