Re: DOOR Error – Not an interlock switch problem
Brushes purchased (£18)
Brushes fitted
Door light icon lights and no DOOR error message
Washing Machine worksWouldn’t it be so much more sensible if there was a ‘BRUSH’ error message?
But then I guess, people wouldn’t throw away perfectly serviceable machines and buy new ones.
Thanks for the help everyone – wouldn’t have dreamed of looking at the motor brushes to fix a DOOR error.
Cheers,
Nigel
Re: DOOR Error – Not an interlock switch problem
This is what my brushes look like
Looks like they are gone.

Re: DOOR Error – Not an interlock switch problem
Don’t suppose there is anywhere that I could get brushes from on Easter Monday?

Re: DOOR Error – Not an interlock switch problem
Thanks,
Will look tomorrow. I’ve read another post suggesting the same. The washer is at least 5 years old and the brushes have never been changed.
I removed the back earlier but that shows the front of the motor – so fill have to look from underneath which will mean tipping it on one of its sides.
The last wash finished 10 minutes from the end (in the spin cycle) – so there will still be some water in the machine. How can I get that out?

Re: Neff Fan Assisted Oven Tripping RCCB
Solved. Took it apart which was surprisingly easy and disconnected each of the elements in turn.
All the elements share a common side (neutral I assume) which will be why I’m getting trips for different elements.
Two things still puzzle me though
(i) The failed element is the bottom oven which we have never used
(ii) With the faulty element in place, the fan oven and the grill oven trip but the bottom one doesn’t.
Anyway, since we don’t use the bottom oven, I’ve left it disconnected for now.
Will replace it in slower time.

Re: Neff Fan Assisted Oven Tripping RCCB
Yes I guess I’m going to do that – was hoping to be able to just reason it out and then order the right bit.
What about measuring resistance. What’s the best test to do – I guess measure between terminal and earth – looking for infinite for a good one – I guess to trip the RCCB there needs to be at least 30mA so anything less than 800 ohms would do it.
