    Water not detected in the time allowed. Water off, fill hose kinked/trapped, valve failure all possible.

    Power off if investigating, click the link below for an engineer if you’re not confident.

    It’s a Whirlpool – have a look in Error Codes – top of this forum (p2).

    If it has, there’s a matching slot in the other half of the tank.

    Well, fix it dear Goatboy, dear Goatboy, dear Goatboy….

    Last one of these I had finished up being drilled and plated and is still working a treat.

    See, Jim? These young ‘uns just want to fit bits……….

    Re: error code 51 on Fisher & Paykel Intuitive Washing M

    The machine is losing water during recirculation – or thinks it is….. This can be caused by problems with the diverter valve – blocked, jammed, leaking; wiring problems in the same area can cause these symptoms, as, in extreme cases can the motor control board.

    This problem is specific to “Phase 5” machines, so the model number would be useful for confirmation.

    Power off if going inside……..

    We’re showing our age here Jim 😀 ! The young lads won’t have a clue what we’re on about. After all, its vertical, not horizontal (ooh er, Mrs) and we’re talking about fixing, rather than replacing. A dying art IMO.

    Cheers,

    Re: bosch washer dead

    Yes, the display should come up if there is power to the machine – so – either the mains suppressor has failed (1st point that the power hits), or the computer board has failed (2nd point of contact). Computer board is £114 plus vat BTW, so keep your fingers crossed…..

    Re: Hotpoints new Parts policy

    Do you know Jim, in nearly 20 years, I’ve never replaced a support tube? Maybe because we live in a nice soft water area? I don’t know – it shouldn’t be getting wet anyway. I’ve pulled quite a few gearboxes apart for roll-pins and dodgy bushes – all just repair work really. Bit labour intensive, but not technically complicated.

    Hotdog’s right BTW – new chinese lantern will grip better for some reason. Still, not to worry too much, they’ll all be gone soon.

    Welcome aboard, Hotdog 😀 .

    Gadgetfreak looks a bit more interesting ( http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/modules.p … w=previous ). Very unsubtle plugs – keep an eye on.

    Re: Creda Concept Ceramic (48350) Twin Grill Problem

    Energy regulator for grill may have failed (p/no 6203590) or the selctor switch, which is part of the top oven thermostat (p/no 6201876). Burnt out wiring also a possibility.

    Are Smeg machines rated at all? Is this a bad decision?

    They work well enough, but they seem to be noisy blighters and prone to some quite extreme vibration problems, especially if mounted on a wooden (suspended) floor. With a fully integrated machine, this will set you whole worktop a-rattling……

    You might like to add the CDA integrated washer dryer to your list – a Siltal-built appliance, reasonably shallow in depth and good value for money.
