    Re: Elica Cooker Hood (Model No. 372) – loss of power

    Many thanks for the reply don!

    The model I have is the Elica Igloo.

    Does the PCB control the extraction strength and lights etc? As they are all working.

    The problem is the extraction fan itself as it’s not working anywhere near full power and whoever installed the hood in the first place did not connect the correct size ducting (too small) and this may have caused to motor to burn out.

    Re: Elica Cooker Hood (Model No. 372) – loss of power

    Last call 😀

    If the fan is still turning but with little power, would that suggest that the motor for the fan needs replacing?


    Any help on this would be really appreciated 🙂

    Lads, got an engineer out this morning and it turns out that the problem was the part where the sensors are, were all blocked, and as a result were not working properly.

    He replaced the unit and all for a good deal too! I have also kept his number for future reference – as advised.

    So all well that ends well! Many thanks for all your help lads 😀

    I have tested the 2 core black wire at the connectors an it’s giving me a reading of 2.4k.

    Will do G! Many thanks for that!

    I didn’t check that, where is it located on the machine?

    good luck and let us know how you get on.
    just looked at valve and it is an aqua stop.it might be worth a punt and replace this .

    I originally figured that it may be the aquastop valve but after a few replies on here, I wasn’t too confident.

    Will I go and order one and replace it and see how we go? There about 60 quid I think.

    when you knock m/c on does it pump out first.
    check all filters /hoses to sump
    what end of country are you in?

    Hey G, many thanks for you help, much appreciated.

    When I turn on the machine first it just makes a gurgling noise but no water goes into the machine.

    By the way, I am in located in Kildare.

    I didn’t see exactly what he did as I was not present at the time he looked at it. He just told me that the timer needs to be changed and it would be a big job.

    He usually services Philips products.

    I had a chap I know take a look at this, he says it is the timer that is gone and that it might be better off getting a new dishwasher?! 😮

    Anyone have any experience with this?

    You are right to assume that the valve is at fault, and they do fail so that diagnosis is not beyond the bounds of reason. However, there could be other issues causing the same symptoms including pressure switch, blocked hoses and indeed faulty programmer.

    I would always advise contacting a local engineer such as myself who would call, assess the problem and deal with it accordingly subject to your approval. Simply sticking a new valve unit in may well solve your problem but it also may not? It’s a gamble at this stage and no mistake. 😉

    Many thanks for the your replies Martin, you could come round and repair it no probs but the thing is I am in Southern Ireland where we get bent over on anything like this and I am sick to the teeth of the rip off culture over here especially with the way things are now. That is the main reason I said I’d give it a go. I’m handy at fixing most thing so that is the reason I am here now.

    I even rang Neff about the part you posted earlier and it was more expensive than it is in the UK – typical!

    Anywho, enough of the rant 😀

    I figured it may be more than just the valve alright. It is making a kind of gurgling noise when turned on and no water is getting into the unit. I might open her up and take a look but the folks want their washer working and they may just have to fork out.

    You can say that again. 😉 Checking those valves with a multimeter is a true test of determination over the forces of adversity. Access to the point where measurement can be taken in the first place will keep you pleasantly occupied for many a while. 🙁

    Good luck pal!:tup:

    I am feeling more inadequate in the self diagnosis of the problem as this thread goes on. 🙁

    He he! I dunno, I presume I’d have to pull out my multimeter and check that one as not all solenoid coils are the same 😕

    We do try to help in stearing the public in the right direction but to ask someone to confirm it i guess maybe this is why u have not had a quick answer.. if we all could confirm a fault 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} on a forum i think we would be inclined to make money from doing so without having to leave the house.

    You may want to be a little more specific in what happened..when it happened..things like that so we could “guide” you a little better?

    Many thanks for your reply. LJ. Basically when I turn the machine on to start, there is no water going into the machine. I removed the valve and I checked pipe that the machine takes in water from and that is fine. So I can only guess that it is a problem with the valve itself? The valve is run by electricity as far as I can see as there are electric cables running up to through the piping to the valve. What do you think.
