    Re: Indesit IWDE 7145 Pre-wash?

    Hi

    After many trials in the lab (kitchen), now it’s stopped drying my not so small smalls, we have come to this conclusion.

    There is a button called “Intensive Wash” which the manual says just uses more water etc, no mention of pre-wash.

    Well if we take the four main washes at 90, 60, 40 and 50 degrees and they are numbered 1 2 3 and 4 (clever eh) If you press this button then water goes into the prewash dispenser on numbers 1 3 and 4. So I presume it would continue to a pre-wash on these settings if we let it. It does NO pre-washes unless this button is pressed, even at 90.

    So it does pre-washes at 90, 40 and 50 degrees not 60. I suppose since 90 and 60 are for cotton then you would use 90 if they were really mucky.

    I know I could have done this without the forum but I thought some one would have the details.

    Still if people have one of these machines they may find out be searching on this forum and answer their question.

    Should I tell Indesit my findings or do you think they know?

    Well there is a lot of ironing when it has finished putting in all the creases if that is what you mean. 😆

    Hi

    It is a closely kept secret, maybe Indesit should get an award for the best instruction book having been passed by MI 5. :rolls:

    I will have a few dummy runs and report back later to-day. It is exciting to own an Indesit, full of surprises, it’s what Christmas is all about.

    Hi

    Now the AEG is about 3 years old it went to the tip yesterday. Many other faults apart from not heating till you soldered the joint etc.

    If that was a car I suppose there would be a recall, still cars cost a lot more. No more AEG, or the other names, you can buy this lump of CR** from.

    Re: Bosch SGS5312GB Not Heating

    Is this identical to the “in-line heater test” on an AEG or what!

    Mine lasted 18 months from new, I am not going to buy a new PCB every 18 months because of shoddy manufacturing!

    Great 😀

    Hot water!

    Must buy a cheaper dishwasher next time, if I am going to repair it myself I might as well save money. I note the PCB is Electrolux Zanussi.

    I read somewhere else that Zanussi make this model etc etc, but I am sure everyone on this website knows that, I am new to the game.

    Go and put dishes in now 🙂

    Re: in-line heater test?

    Last Saturday (1st April ) my AEG 40850 stopped heating the water. It can be only be about 18 months old. Out of the standard guarantee etc.
    So I searched the web for info, price of new heater etc, any other info.

    I came across this website and read it with interest. To-day I got round to taking out the PCB. I had some experience of this with my previous Bosch 🙁

    And my PCB looks identical to the one pictured in this thread. Can I say a big thankyou to all, the people behind this website, the people who have posted on to it. 😀

    This is obviously a fault in the AEG 40850 and will most likely occur again!

    I will now go and get my trusty soldering iron and hopefully put things right.

    Thank you 🙂 🙂
