Re: burning the dinner
Er, Bob’s trying to pop you a copy of the user’s book in the post – can’t ask for much more really!

When the door lock blows, it almost always takes out the computer board. It’s a Zanussi in a frock BTW.
Power off when you investigate,

Providing the undertray is drained, the electronics should reset by themselves. Leak could be from just about anywhere I’m afraid – look for the white soap tracks….

Latch spring disengages at one end = not enough push to work the lock.

Re: Fisher and Paykel Dish Drawe type flood alarm
Nothing particulary special – set of Torx bits might be handy. Plenty of patience, as it’s all got to come out (bet the kitchen fitters put it on short hoses 😀 ), is probably your best weapon!
Good luck,
Penguin45.Re: zanussi rear 1/2 tub
Just by the by, why did you want a tub half anyway? I’ve fitted one in 14 years (concrete block ripped off)? Fitted lots of front halves, mind you!

Re: AEG Arctis Freezer F8 error code
“Heizsystem defect”. From the German literally “Heating sytem defect”. I’m not much cop on fridges, so can’t really tell you more!

Pump problem – filter blocked, pump motor failed, wiring problems, can be computer board.
Power off if investigating, or click the link below for pro help.

Flood alarm means that the undertray of one of the drawers has flooded. Power off, drain undertray, find leak. You’ve never seen anything engineered quite like these.

Penguin45.Re: Fisher&Paykel Smartdrive 058 controller board help?
Well, you appear to have lost the original fault…. I suspect that you’re going to have to bite the bullet and get some pro help. We’ve moved away for the original problems into new areas. Try running the diagnostics again and see of there are new codes, but I’m not sure how much further we can go with this.

Penguin45.Re: Error code 00101011 on Smartdrive 603
This is an OOB switch error. The computer thinks that the switch is either jammed on, or not connected.
Do the obvious first – the machine should be level, with the inner tub leaning forward slightly. Otherwise, it may contact the switch arm on a nuisance basis. The switch suffers from corrosion, so you need to check for function, condition of wiring and connectors.
It is possible that the motor board is faulty, but this is unusual.
Power off if going inside……..

Penguin45.Re: is it worth repairing?
Good price from your repairer. However, at 10 years old, consider the following: The motor brushes will be pretty well worn out, the pump (especially if the magnetic type) will be tired and may well be the reason that your bearings have failed; and the door seal will be pretty tired as well. If you wish to keep the machine going, I’d speak to you engineer about a package deal for the lot – you will effectively have a reconditioned machine and good for a few more years.
In all conscience, I can’t recommend any of the new replacements you have listed. The old adage of “You gets what you pay for” has never been more true. Three years from now, any of your list will be beyond an economic repair. Realistically, you need to set your budget at £250-£300 for a “10 year” replacement with your level of usage. This will move you into Zanussi, Whirlpool and the low end Bosch range territory. If budget really is a serious consideration, check out the Gorenje machines – you may have to hunt about to find them though. Pretty good for the money.
