    He hasn’t come back to let us know. He’s got an email on his Profile, drop him a line and let us know perhaps?

    Re: God Hates me!!!

    Assuming that your code is correct, you have a rotor position error. This one’s a headbanger. Most likey culprit is duff wiring – check contacts to position sensor and edge connector for cleanliness, corrosion and continuity. Or its the Hall sensor. Or the control board itself.

    Power off if doing this yourself.

    I’m with Dave and Clive – you’ve got a lemon.

    Re: Hotpoint slimline DW doesn’t heat

    The solution to this problem is very simple – percussive maintenance. At the bottom of the fill matrix is a large brown resin chamber. Over the years, this slowly solidifies and the water can’t run through it any more. Given that the fill is a metered dose from the fill tank on the back of the machine, it has about 3 minutes to fill – this leads to underfilling and insufficient water being circulated to operate the pressure switch on the heater.

    So what you do is – beat the chamber. Gently, persistently with a soft handled screwdriver handle. Possibly for a long time. When the gel starts to behave like a sand picture, you’ve solved it.

    Sounds mad, but it works. Don’t tap too hard, or you’ll crack the chamber.

    Good luck,

    You may well be right, but at least this is an intellegent and interesting discussion, complete with movie clips, sound clips and piccies. Oh yes, in proper English as well!

    Er, I seem to recall a certain someone complaining about duff new pump motors not so very long ago…….

    I personally have about 1 in 25 Askolls faulty. I think Mikes problem is going to be to get a replacement motor to the US.

    It’s basically the same as any modern Zanussi – if anything it’s easier as the cabinet front comes off.

    Um, I didn’t even bother checking on Connect……….. I knew that the Parts Sleuth would bound into action, ready to serve the punter and maximise the margin of the independent. 😀

    You quite sure you don’t put the undies outside the trousers?

    It works both ways – I didn’t fill in any forms at all and received an email saying that I had an account!

    I have been impressed with them to date, I have to say.
