Re: Neff S4453N0GB/13 Washing forever. No draining or hot wa
Dear Penguin45.
There was virtually nothing the the pressure assembly to remove, just a small algae type area above where the water flows in. I did manage to dislodge some of the gunge at the top of the matrix and fitted the new control panel assembly. We have used the machine a few times since, and everything seems tickety-boo. We will just make a mental note to not interrupt the hottest programmes and avoid the small leak.
Thanks again for your advice and guidance.
Keep up the good work.
Mike.
PS: Happy New Year.
Re: Anyone know of a narrower machine?
Just to keep you informed Don:
That’s it done………John Lewis took £241 and will deliver a Bosch WAE24363 to my Mother-in-Law. All in, it seems a fabulous deal and much cheaper than anywhere else. Both Comet and Currys would have taken £362 for exactly the same thing and even on line, the closest I could get was £275, from a company I had never heard of.
Let’s hope it lasts as long as her old Hoover Logic 1200, at almost 22 years.
Happy New Year to you.
Mike.
Re: Anyone know of a narrower machine?
Thanks Don.
You inspired me to investigate the cavity and neighbouring kitchen units. Lo and behold, the small unit on the right of the cavity had a narrow piece of wood, as a spacer, between it and the wall. I was able to drop the unit, remove the spacer and shift it over by just over a centimetre. It looks great, apart from a small untiled area on the floor, which will be hidden by the new machine.We now have a cavity that is just over 600 wide, and the washing machine world is her oyster.
I know it is a bit off subject, but, she is now considering a Zanussi ZWF12070W1 (£195 with a 2 year warranty from John Lewis), a Bosch WAE24363 (£241 with a 2 year warranty from JL) or a Whirlpool AWO/D5726 (£185 from Comet). I would think the Bosch would be the better machine, followed by the Zanussi, but was concerned by the nylon door catch that was broken on the display model in the shop. Is this catch an issue with Bosch machines or is the anything else that one would recommend she looks at?
Cheers.

Thanks again Penguin45.
I will have a go at stripping the assembly down and see what happens. There is a small area of discolouation at the top of the matrix. I will have a go at that as well.
I will let you know how I get on once the new PCB has arrived.
Enjoy your festive break and happy birthday when it comes.
Cheers.
Mike.

Thanks for your ultra speedy reply Penguin45.
That kinda confirms what I have come to suspect. I have ordered a new PCB from BSH at £117.33 and will let you know what the outcome is.
I take it that this “known” dry joint problem has been fixed in these new PCBs and it won’t happen again, or is that too much to ask?
Is the small blow back leak at the pressure/float assembly, when interrupting the programme and opening and closing the door on a hot machine, a problem, or nothing to worry about.
What a fabulous website and service. More power to your elbow.
Cheers to you, and everyone else who may read this, over the festive period.
Mike.
