Re: Zanussi D/Washer DE6965 – AL5 fault

Thanks for the replies guys.. Been back today and stipped hoses off.. they didnt look to bad but corner of iwms tank where it fed into bottom hose was fairly blocked.. Had a poke about in there and back flushed to try and break gunge up and seemed to be working ok for now so thanks for the pointers..

Cust not prepaired to go to expense of new tank as it’s “over 5 yrs and old now and might as well put that money to a new one” was her reply :rolls: .. typical reply these days when anything over £100 is mentioned..

Looks bit of a bad design in that the bottom outlet has a support strut (presumably to stop the pipe collapsing with the tightness of the clip) and this allows the gunge to build up in the tank instead of flowing out into the hose which is easier to clean

Anyway thanks again..

Re: Zanussi D/Washer DE6965 – AL5 fault

Hi Folks

Anyone any ideas on this one – been away for a week but got a call back on this to do.. worked ok for three times then same fault has come back again.. (sounds like a posible leak and it’s drying up when not in use?)

Not done this model before

Thanks… any ideas welcome

Re: Beko WMA520W – Door Seal Problem

Thanks flyman

Screwdriver thro hole seems better idea than the molegrips.. thanks for that tip..

Did try the washing up liquid as always get Zanussi springs on that way but wasn’t sure if that was part of problem causing the spring to keep sliping off as the well it fits into doesn’t seem quite as good at securing the spring as zanussi ones but guess it needs it when it comes to slipping the spring over the rubber at full tension..

Thanks for all the help flyman.. 😀

Re: Beko WMA520W – Door Seal Problem

Changed Door Gasket on this today – solved problem – thanks flyman..

Just had probs with the zannusi type retaining spring… never had probs with zannusi m/c’s but had to clamp this spring with molegrips and piece of kitchen towel in the jaws (to prevent damage to door gasket) to enable me to get two hands on the spring to stretch it (the spring is quite strong) otherwise it kept slipping round the seal and couldn’t hold it with one hand..

Anyone else done these and got an easy way to get the spring on incase I get another one of these.. Don’t like the idea of clamping against the door rubber with molegrips incase it damages the rubber but seemed like the only solution and it worked…

Wondered if they had modified door seal if it was a problem..

One Customer and repair engineer happy at that 🙂

Re: Bosch WTA3100gb T/Dry – Side removal

Thanks for the replies folks..

Looks like it might be a facia off job as feels like the fixing that’s stoping me is probley at the bottom of that.. tried to take that off while I was there but that didn’t look a simple job either.. altho the fixing felt slightly lower than that..

Don’t think there are any bottom screw fixings to the panel as it looks like it was a plastic base with locating pegs to hold the bottom of the panel, it was just this front fixing about quarter to a third if the way down that was giving me the problems and felt like a peg or possible a screw in a large hole as I could actually move the panel back and forth about a sixteenth on an inch on the fixing.

It’s just a vented type btw with vents on sides and rear..

Looks like it might be an improved !!! later model with a fixing under the facia which looks a pig to remove, rather than the unimproved model that was a sraight forward panel removal… sorry for the sarcasm… :rolls:

Thanks again

Re: eBay parts prices

Went to a job about a month ago where cust had bought a pump on e-bay… fitted it.. used it.. “pop” from machine smell of burning and a leak under machine..

Went out and main board had blown due to leak from pump and water had got on pump terminals..

Fitted new board and come to re-fit new pump and found couldn’t fit pump proply.. (Zan m/c with baynet type pump) checked with pump of my van and that fitted ok – when I examined pump more closely the wrong gasket was fitted to the pump making it impossible for it to locate propley..

Told cust to send bill to peps who supplied him pump but he just said he had learnt his lesson and would just call me instead next time..

Ahh.. some people just have to learn the hard way 😀

Re: A Hunch On Smelly Washers

Hi folks

Washing machines aren’t vented like they used to be either which used to allow for a bit of air circulation instead of machines sweating with doors closed like they do now – personly think its all a combination of things but a fortune to be made for the person who invents a device to get rid of it..

Re: H/Point 7842 D/Wash – Timer?

Thanks for the help guys..

Wasnt sure which of the wires went back to the timer but did take a good look at wiring under door as I thought this might be the prob but there was no sign of any damage or breaks and no burnt wires on timer either..

But it does seem as if it is a timer motor supply prob as timer motor ok on other part of prog..

Looks like a return trip to check wiring again b4 I order recon timer tho..

Thanks
