Re: Swan W/machine SW2020B – buttons

Thanks for the reply Martin.

Connect gave me the part no’s for the two parts.
PCB is VST20741016
Button tree is VST42057304

If any one can help would be appreciated – not really sure it needs the pcb as its only the button tree thats broke?

Thanks

Re: Zanussi ZWD1262- F73 fault

Thanks for the reply Martin.

Sorry for late update. Did go back and change duct NTC to no avail – condenser valve still not activating. Checked condenser NTC and condenser for blockages but all seemed ok. Suspect some weird pcb fault but customer not prepared to pay for new one so just using as washing machine only.

Thanks for the help

Re: Indesit PWDC8125 – condenser valve

Thanks for the reply Dave

Sorry late update on this – it was the valve that was faulty. Did notice once it was up and running though that it was intermittent fill – something like 5 sec fill, 10 sec no fill, unlike other wash/driers I have come across with a constant flow.

So presumably voltage will change across valve dependent on cycle unless to check live to earth but that won’t tell you that the pcb is switching the valve in only that there is a live feed to the valve.

Anyway sorted.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Indesit PWDC8125 – condenser valve

Thanks for the reply Dave

Yes did measure the voltage with the coil disconnected – can’t test these days with the coil connected because of these stupid all-enclosed, clip on type crap connectors. :rolls: You have to disconnect to get on a connection.

I thought it should have been 240v thats why I tested another valve that I knew was working and got the same 85v. Wouldn’t surprise me if it worked at a lower voltage due to the size of the wires connecting the valves but by the same extent wouldn’t surprise me if the pcb isn’t switching it in properly for some obscure reason.

Should be going back within the next few days to change the valve s will let you know the outcome.

Re: Bosch WTW86560GB/16 Dryer

Hi Dave

Had the same problem on a Bosch washer dryer and it was the child lock accidentally activated but its not obvious or how to take it off and I thought it was door lock or pcb.

If you do a search with Bosch and Child lock it should come up with all the relevant posts that tell you how to do it.

Re: Indesit PWCD8127W – momentary pump

Thanks for the replies folks.

Went back today just to check the points raised – everything testing out ok n couldn’t find anything with heater/NTC wiring – did do an earth leakage check first time but thought I would double check just incase – looks like PCB fault or “parts bingo” ( lol but true.)

Customer now going to pay Indesit £17 per month for the next 12 months to fix machine and guarantee it for next 12 months!!!! (thats £204 if my maths are correct) :rolls:

Thanks for the help guys.

Re: Hotpoint WMUD962 – no fill

Thanks for all your help and comments folks . Just to let you know the conclusion to this:

After reading all the comments and relative posts on this I went back the other day – tried reseting the pressure system umpteen times with no joy. Even tried to force it to re-callibrate by disconnecting the pressure switch and get it come up with a fault code and thus re-callibrate when I reconnected it again but it never even come up with anything just sat there for 5 mins before I just switched it off.

Either the pcb has gone faulty or needs reprogramming. I left it for the customer to get in touch with Indesit as I don’t have any means to reprogram.

Can’t believe the crap Indesit churn out these days – who on earth thought to make a machine that has no base in that you cant tilt! The mind boggles. At the very least put a warning sticker on it or is that showing some common sense – Oh… I forgot that would put at least 1/2p on the cost of the machine!! Silly me :rolls:

Thanks again for your comments.

Re: Hotpoint BHWM129Uk – fault codes

Thanks for the reply Iadom

Just another way to confuse us engineers again- 6 lights but only use 5 – include the door lock light and deff the other progress light :rolls:

Sounds typical Indesit……

Nearly as bad as when I came to order a heater for an Indesit m/c about 6 mths ago and web site showed 2 types of heater – phoned them up and supplied serial number to find out whether long or short heater fitted – they said not serial number specific! – derr.. is monday morning – shall we fit long or short heaters today? – We’ll fit short because the sun’s shining :rolls:

Thanks for the info again though.

Re: Bosch WVD2450GB/01 – stuck on 1 min left

Thanks for the reply Wiz

Been back today after a quick search for Bosch + child lock found a link and Hey Presto you was right.

Turned dial till door lock light stopped flashing and pressed the clock button for 5 secs and it all cleared.

M/c in accommodation for people with visual impairment and although they have all the most used buttons with “feel” markers it looks like someone was trying to dry stuff and pressed the clock button by mistake which was next to the dry button. Beats me why Bosch have made it so difficult to tell that’s whats been activated and so precise to reset. :rolls: . One to remember though incase I come across it again.

Anyway job done and many thanks for the help.

Oh, yes you were right about the model No. – have changed it on the post 😳

Re: Hotpoint WM75 module

Sorry guys meant to finalise this post – if you can call it that.

Went back after previous post – took motor off removed and checked bottom brushes and re mega motor ok – checked again for broken/shorting wires on harness all ok

Ordered modul and fitted (which did come pre-programmed – Qualtex very helpful n checked with Hotpoint themselves). Left machine working – all ok.

Solved methinks – wrong. Customer phoned back and machine got halfway through wash and started doing same thing (E30). Went back rechecked motor again – cut off and reconnected all the wires on terminal block incase one was broken but still held fast. Still no joy.

Only conclusion was some sort of intermittent fault with motor which was not showing up when motor stationary causing module fault?

Customer not willing to pay for motor as well so ended up buying new machine.

Never had an E30 fault on these that I couldn’t solve but I suppose there has to be a first time.

Thanks for all your help as always folks.

Re: Hotpoint WM75 module

Thanks for the replies guys

Are you saying that the board is programmed n just posted wrong on Connect because Masterpart says same thing on their website.

Have changed module on a WM72 for same fault but was different part no but that was pre programmed and just a straight forward swap.

Checked the top brush on motor and half way worn but didn’t look at bottom brush as fhp motor fitted and continuity test seemed ok. Wiring looked ok as well and tugged at stuff looking for broken or loose connection. Didn’t take module out as customer didn’t seem interested in repair when I gave her an idea of cos and was going to buy new machinet. Phoned next day wanting me to go ahead with repair.

When first switched on the motor did a couple of revolutions then stopped but no arcing from motor. Seemed like a typical module fault where motor revolves a couple of revolutions n then stops but couldn’t get motor to turn again even after switching off and on.

Looks like from what you saying I might need to recheck every thing but would still like to know about module not programmed info just incase I need to order one up.

Thanks

Re: Zanussi FL1281 Door Glass

Ok razor – thanks for trying

Think I might have located a second hand one from a company called Electric Spares but not delt with them before and not sure how reliable they are. Just need to confirm with them.

Re: Bosch WVD2452SGB/01 Wash/Dry – Drier switching off

Went back to this yesterday and was a blocked condenser.

What a nightmare to get to the screws and access on this. Half way through removing the condenser found all the blockage at the bottom of the condenser where it enter the tub. So managed to remove blockage without removing the condnser completly which saved removing the upside down screw third of the way down :rolls: . Using an old trusty bit of wire coat hanger with end bent to a hook, removed all the built up lint. Then made a tool to lip the hose back on the tub tube from a 4 inch piece of coat hanger wire and put a hook on the end of that which made what seemed an imposible job possible.

On tackling one of these again I think I would go straight to the hose at the bottom where the condenser goes into the tub and see if the blockage could be removed from there without taking the rest of the condenser off. Removing the 4 screws where it fits to the heater unit just allows a bit more flexability on the condenser and makes accessing the hole at the bottom slightly better.

Hope this helps anyone else who has one of these to do as it is obvious from the design the manifacturer has given no thought whatsoever to the condenser being removed with the tub in situe. :rolls:

Thanks Martin

Looks like a little gem to do then – something to look forward to when I go back on Tuesday then 🙂

Thanks for the reply Ollie

Might try that first then as I think I might have one on my van.

Thanks for the reply.
