Re: cuisina DW007 dishwasher problem
Flood protection activated – tray under machine is full of water. Power off, towels down, tip to one side.
If you get a repetition – find the leak.

Anti-flood is the pneumatic shut-off on the valve activated by the IWMS.

Re: CDA CW 447 fault lights
Well, it’s Chinese, so anything is possible. I’d start by getting rid of the multifuction tablets and using a low froth product like Fairy Bursts (and rinse aid) and seeing how you go.

Re: Subcontracting-whats a fair price?
It costs me, an independent sole trader, just under £20 per call to ring a customers door bell.
I will not do this if my return per call is a hair over £10.
Lee, find Ken’s cost calculator in the Downloads section, fill it in completely honsetly and prepare for a nasty surprise.

Re: Energy Efficiency Con
No – destruction cycle. Cost analysis to the fraction of a penny of the life expectancy of a given product. A bearing set which was fine for 7 years on an 800pm machine can be used quite happily on a 1200rpm machine designed to last 3 years – if that’s all you want it to do. And they do…..
There is no “New Market” for appliances as there was through the 80s and early 90s; now there is only a replacement market – but – the factories have expanded to produce huge volume. The manufacturers could have had a quiet word with each other and scaled back, but no. The volume boys now make carp on a short life cycle to keep the factories running. And the public fall for it……..
The nearest thing to perfection is an ISE10 – no compromises, excellent warranties and as far as the retail side is concerned, no discounts.
Will put hobby horse back in the garage now…

Re: CDA CW 447 fault lights
Flood protection activated – base tray under machine has water in it. Power off, towels down and tip it to one side. If the problem repeats, find the leak.

Re: Miele W844 Heating element
Pull the lock washers off and it’ll pull apart easy as you like. Do the airbell whilst you’re in there.

Re: Magnetic Refrigeration
I think spimps would have liked to have had a discussion about magnetic refrigeration, chaps.
Lots of threads to choose from for spare price bashing…….
Chris,
Moderator.Re: electrolux esi 602 too hot and groaning!
Damaged impellor would explain a few things – you need THIS LITTLE LOT. Be careful – the drive shaft is only available as a complete motor assembly.

Re: Hotpoint oven cooling fan.
As far as I can tell, the cut-in is integral with the cooling fan. The fan is powered at half speed by the electronics, then the cut-in ramps it up to full speed when the temperature in the oven rises.

Re: Energy Efficiency Con
They’re riding the boom. It’s profitable and known science and it’s now not under state ownership. Given the truly massive level of re-investment required to bring the new technologies on-line and develop them into sustainable reliable use, I know as a head of an energy company, what I’d be doing at the moment.
Ride it ’til it busts and get out with the profits. Thank you and goodnight. Fortunatley, I’m just an appliance engineer, so it won’t be me doing it.
Cynical – Moi?
