Re: Bosch 1200 S Express – Noisy drum bearing

Thanks gents.

I tried the washing up liquid, but unfortunately it didn’t work. The noise does seem louder from the rear of the drum so I’m guessing it probably is that bearing.

the ENR number is
E-NR:WAE2416SGB/01 FD8606 100747

if its easier for you than cross referencing the ENR number, I’ve put up some photos of the bearing

Though if this is unlikely to be a DIY job then I guess I’ll have to get out the Yellow Pages (unless by some freak this is actually covered under warranty and my machine isn’t 3 weeks outside of the warranty period!)

Cheers

Re: 2nd Air Admittance Valve failure in a month

Thanks for that Martin.
I don’t appear to have any sort of access cover on my property, but a phone call to the water board proved worthwhile.
Firstly it appears that responsibility for my drain was taken on by the water board in 1939, so no charges to me for clearing blockages.
Secondly it appears that work is underway at the house 3 doors down this afternoon, and this is likely to be related.

Apparently the following explanation applies:
Under normal circumstances, you flush teh loo and positive pressure goes in front of your flushed water and negative pressure behind it.
The positive goes off down the drain system, or pops out from a neighbours open topped soil stack.
To prevent water being siphoned out of your traps on sinks etc by the negative pressure, tha AAV lets in some air to follow the flush down the pipework.

In my situation it is possible that the blocked drain a few doors down means the positive pressure of the flush pushes the AAV quite tightly closed, so then it doesn’t open properly when it is needed to so cannot let air in after the flush, instead the air is sucked slowly through my bath trap.

I hope the work the drains people do this afternoon should sort all this out – if not then I’ll have to get the professionals out. (there are a lot of DIY jobs I’ll happily tackle, but sewerage is not on that list!)

Re: indesit d63 will not spin or drain

Thanks for that advice.

I’ll not try and mess with it myself then if it’s such a difficult job, I had imagined it was a case of unscrew the pump cover, remove the blockage and put everything back together by te time the kettle has boiled for my post job cuppa.

Might not be worth spending money on an old indesit, though I don’t like throwing perfectly fixable stuff out. I’ll have to negotiate between my eco-conscience and my wallet.
