Re: Bosch HBN2820GB – Oven door hinge fault

Thanks for the pointer to the Bosch web site Mike.. that is a really use full link..

It looks from the exp view that the plate is all part of the frame..

Thanks for all the help both

Maybe we could make a stickey of all the manifactures web sites like this that provied spares and exploded views.. that would be nearly as usefull as the stickey of error codes 💡 🙂

Re: Indesit W103UK – 8 flashes?

Looking at Connect Mediator looks like there are two pressure switches fitted to this model.. Anyone any idea which one I might need?..

Thanks

Re: Indesit W103UK – 8 flashes?

Thanks for reply Martin

Wouldn’t the fault code be 4,5,or 10 if it was a pressure switch fault?..

Re reading the sheet that came with the bord it does say that worn carb brushes can cause m/c not to fill.. but would that bring up a 8 flash code?.. Always had no start up and no fault code before when brushes have worn..

What does “Heater relay cannot be activated” actually mean? Do certain canditions have to be met before it will activate eg. full of water? in which case if the m/c isn’t filling with water why isn’t it coming up with a pressure switch fault code? Or can this fault code also mean that the m/c is not filling?

Anyway.. think I might take up the suggestion of pressure switch and order one up and take it with me on Fri when I go back..

Re: major plumbing problem

Went to one about a month ago as well.. m/c was sticking on the program.. Shiny new kitchen.. tried m/c was filling and empting at same time.. decided m/c was syphoning but as it looked a right pain to get out so went outside to inspect plumbing out there and found plumbers had drilled a hole at floor hight though the ouside wall pulled outlet hose all the way through and straight into drain.. Asked cust who put the kitchen in.. Oh.. a friend of a friend who came highly recomended!

Told her to get them back to plumb waste properly and explained what required and charged her a call out..

A week later got the call again.. still sticking on program but not all,, back again.. found plumber had plumbed in waste to sink ok this time but had only turned cold water on to m/c.. so turned hot water and bingo.. all was well.. another call out charge and another black eye for the so called plumber..

Don’t know how this bloke could have come highley recomended but don’t think this customer will be recomending them..

By the way why do plumbers always insist on putting the w/m taps in the most inaccessible places?… 👿

Re: NTC – what is it and what does it do?

Thanks gregsy

Quite a comprehensive article.. but basicaly a thermister that works negativly… presumably these are fitted to the tub or whatever like the ordenary themister and not part of the electronic board.

Re: New Type Hotpoint & Idesit Outer Tubs

Thanks for reply guys

Intersting posts on links.. looks like I will be advising cust re tubs when they ask my advice on new machines to buy..

Can never understand why manufactures alienate the sevice industry as we must acount for a certain percentage of sales through recomendation.. maybe its not enough and customers only want cheap and nasty these days..

Don’t they realise by repairing machines we are trying to save the planet for their children..

Re: BEKO WMA1510S – button partno

Thanks Eastlmark

Been back in touch with cust and she seems happy enough with a white one but seems crazy to me if they glue the buttons on why they don’t have a good parts availibility!!.. Unless anyone else knows different..

Again thanks

Re: indesit D61 leak reasons …

why dont the low end makers just remove the drip tray and float and save themselves a fortune

Ahhh… that would make our job to easy because we could see where the leak was coming from!.. 🙂

Re: Zanussi FL812

No sure with the model no but if an induction motor fitted the capacitor is fixed under the metal strap on the top of the machine out of sight – think it is a 16uf if memory serves me right. You can fit a standard nut type fixing but you need a big washer as the origional capacitor is zanussi special fixing… or you can use gen zanussi capacitor.

Hope that helps..

Re: Kitchen fitter classic

Talking of Kichen Fitter Classic’s – went to one about 6mths ago where the kitchen fitter put all the taps, waste outlet and socket in a cupboard next to washing machine then fixed the door shut with “no nails” or something like that so it was impossible to open and isolate machine – think there must be somthing in the regs about that one!!! :rolls:

Oh.. kitchen fitters – first on my list for room 101..

Re: Hotpoint VTD60 T/D – Auto sensing fault

Thanks
