Re: Bosch WVT1260GB dryer overheating

I didn’t read your question fully- yes could be blocked but more likely in the heating element housing somewhere but much more likely as you have alluded to the fan motor
I have had both problems, I found my blockage around the fan turbine inside the housing just release the nuts and bolts holding it down to drum
(It’s easier to do it than explain it) You will see how to split to gain access to elements and turbine

Re: Bosch WVT1260GB dryer overheating

Need to know if the motor had 240v when it failed

Re: Bosch KGV33NW20G going warm

Hi Tonforty
I can only imagine that nobody has replied because the fault could be anything from this starting point
I believe the model is frost free so logically do an evaporator check to see if frozen so you can eliminate element,fuse,fan motor and sensor from defrost circuit?
If all normal then onto refrigeration circuit which could be leaking refrigerant or have a weak compressor or both !!
If all normal then we have the module left that controls temperature
So in brief you need to testing before getting more help
I recommend calling a qualified Fridge Eng from this site if this is all alien to you – bit of a minefield otherwise

Re: BOSCH WVTI 2842 GB Washer Dryer failure

That is highly possible haha !!
I have searched the history of this detergent sump ball back through the sites’ posts and it seems to have caught a few people out ?
I will now start paying attention to what models etc it is fitted to just for my brainbank
I deal mostly with Bosch but I am starting to doubt my memory as to whether all or just some models have them now ??? Always happy to be learn something new ! More knowledge,more power = Higher service charge !!!!

Read the manual John because there will be definately a system reset
Honestly sounds like finger trouble?

Re: BOSCH WVTI 2842 GB Washer Dryer failure

Thanks Martin
Shows how wrong you can be !! My circle of Engineers knew not of it’s purpose either so appreciate the feedback
I do not think that it is fitted on all models though, in fact I find more models without them than with?
Do you know why ?

Re: BOSCH WVTI 2842 GB Washer Dryer failure

What you’ll find is that ‘plug’ is a non-return device actually it’s a plastic ball !!
It prevents backwash say from the sink for example entering the appliance
Clearly if your machine is plumbed in independantly to a standpipe e.g then this non-return is not required
I personally always take them out and dispose if I am cleaning the sump hose!
They can get punctured then fill with water and cause a blockage so I see it as preventative maintenance ( you literally prise it out size of a large ping pong ball!!)
I just think that it blocks too much of the flow and lends itself to blockages
But you may feel like it’s a good thing to leave it there !!
If you take the sump hose off it will be obvious what it is inside and then you can make a call on whether it is causing a problem???

Re: Bosch WVT1260 washer dryer fan not always working

Defo sounds like faulty fan motor but could also be a loose fan assy slipping on the motor shaft or even more likely a blocked fan assy
As soon as airflow is compromised that stat will trip as designed
Check you have a constant 240v to motor even when stops which if you have then you know you can strip down and investigate the points I mentioned

Yes please let me know

Re: LG F1247 TD washing machine

to be honest I do not know a way to test that type of pressure switch ( It just has 3 small tags that you plug into right ?)
I know that you cannot just quickly blow in and listen for the clicks as is digital so it is a case of changing the part and hoping !!
Also you will need the exact pressure switch. Dont think because you have another from an LG that has same plug orientation that it will necessarily work.They all have different set ups and therefore part numbers just in case you were thinking….
All depends on the price of it, don’t think they are too expensive ??
If it has a normal type pressure switch (11,12,13 etc ) them ignore all that but I have never seen LG with them. Make sense ??

Re: LG F1247 TD washing machine

Hi Mike
this sounds like a water level control issue??
The appliance thinks it does not have water when I assume that it does ?
I have had a wierd pressure switch fault on an LG Top Loader in the past
Not exactly the same as your fault as my issue was no spin but that ended up being the pressure switch so I know they give off funny errors even though filling levels are normal which again I assume are normal in your case?
Failing this of course its the old control module left ??
Was the old valve actually faulty? Did you test it? If so what was wrong?solonoid or mechanical??
