Re: diplomat adp8322 (Wpool)
Yeah, weird things happen with these ones. DC keeps telling people that they’re guidance only. Turbidity sensor one can be a right headbanger – I got lucky with the last one I did – a good polish seemed to get everything going again.
Water in the p/sw hose is another one that can give odd codes.
Good luck,

Check the Error Codes thread, oh horned one…. Top of this forum.

Re: Candy CIC60 Clean Filter Light
As you can see from the thread, he never came back to let us know the outcome. Click “email” on his post and you can get him direct.
However, the rest of the thread is valid – safety failure on the heater and timer failing to switch the reverse action. In combination it’s an expensive repair, perhaps more than the dryer is actually worth.

Penguin45.Re: Miele WT2670 – Good choice ???
Actually, a remarkabley simple machine and astonishingly reliable. A solid, well made appliance with electronics that don’t self destruct when you smile at them; this is reflected in the price.
The only down side is that on the off chance that it does fail some part prices verge on the scary.
The ones I service up here are always out in farms and country cottages. Come winter the little furry creatures come in out of the cold and nibble things they shouldn’t; so the repairs which I do do are damage, as opposed to failure.

Penguin45.Re: Hotpoint WM 65 Spin problem
If you’re reasonably sure, spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will be able to supply you with an ARM20 replacement armature at a sensible cost. This was, after all, one of the last decent Hotpoints and is worth persevering with for a while yet.

Penguin45.Re: insurence replacement for zanussi fl 828? what do u thin
To be fair to the Insurers, they are being pretty generous if the offered payout is purely with regard to the washer. Like a car, in their eyes the appliance depreciates year on year, and certainly by 7 years will have no retained value. Fair play, £250’s not bad. Vouchers are bad – they will tie you to a retailer you may not wish to deal with, and are certainly bought at a significant discount by the company!
Get a cheque, have a look around – don’t be fooled by spin speed, once you’re over 1200 rpm, you’re gaining nothing except the earlier demise of your machine.
Or, do as Ian did and buy a Miele – significant investment, but, his kids will inherit it.
Hope that makes things a little clearer, good luck.

Penguin45.Re: Siemens model SPS 5122 overfill problem
This is the 45cm dishwasher and fills from a tank on the back of the casing. The single most common cause of the machine not filling correctly is the resin softener unit solidifying over time, and not allowing the tank to empty into the machine in the time allowed (approx three minutes). Remove left hand side panel, identify brown section and tap gently with a screwdriver handle (sometimes repeatedly) while the machine fills. It will eventually break up and allow the water to flow freely.
This one uses a pressure switch for level control on the pre-fill, so the old microswitch set-up is not used on this machine.

GregNearer £50 now, Gegsy. Still, £400 dishwasher? I’d have thought it a worthwhile repair.

Hi Paul,
Get a cheque out of them for the £250, find another £50-£80 and buy a Bosch. Far better bet. The model you have described is adequate, the 1000 spin is a step up from your old 800, but you can do much better for a small additional sum.Regards,
