Re: GW603 Diagnostic Codes needed
Hi Kiwi,
214 doesn’t seem to be a valid code…… The hot and cold leds flashing indicates water supply problems, and syphoning. It can’t be as straight forward as the drain hose being jammed too far down the pipe, can it?Alexa has the diagnostics, but he appears to be away at present. Sorry.

Penguin45.Re: Fisher & Paykel smartdrive 051 won’t spin
Balance sensor is under the top cover around the drum and has an arm hanging down – this may be dragging if displaced from mounting. Can’t suggest much more – have very limited experience with these machines in UK.
With a little bit of luck Alexa or Kiwi will be back on line tomorrow, so they should be able to help.

Penguin45.Re: Bosch “auto defrost” doesn’t!
Hi P,
The auto defrost function is applicable to the fridge section only. As you state that the fridge is functioning happily, the fault will not be related to the control circuitry. Ice accumulating in the freezer section is most likely attributable to the fit/sealing function of the freezer door. Check this, especially at the lower corners, and report back.Regards,
Penguin45.Re: Fisher & Paykel smartdrive 051 won’t spin
Ok Craig, the big copper job is the rotor of the drive motor, as mentioned by Kiwi. If it’s all clean and not covered in white streaks (soapy water leaking down) or brown streaks (grease from the bearings leaking down), you are in with a decent chance of salvaging the machine.
If you turn this manually, do still get the noise? Adjacent to the motor is a rotor position sensor, this could break away and drag against the rotor (unlikely), similarly the Balance Switch arm could be dragging against the drum at the top, which would definitely stop the machine spinning.
The last one I saw in the UK had a split drum, which made the most godawful row dragging against the outer tank, but would still go into the spin sequence.
Hope that’s some help, power off when you go inside.

Penguin45.Re: Belling IDW603 Error Code 5
Surprisingly enough, E5 is no fill within the specified time. Basic checks are water supply on and fill hose not kinked closed.
Technical possibilities are failed inlet valve or computer lost its marbles. If you are not confident using a test meter, please seek pro help. Check Directories or Repairs@ for a UKW engineer in your area.
Power off if you wish to investigate further. :plug:

Penguin45.Re: Indesit DG6100W tripping RCD:Faulty elemnent?
Well done Ian.
For the benefit of future readers, the element in this dishwasher is of the “semi-immersion” type. It is exposed on the floor of the dishwasher. It relies on the random showering of water from the rotors to transfer the heat of the element into the water. A restricted or blocked rotor will not allow water to be distributed correctly and localised overheating of the element will cause rapid failure.
Clean your filters, clean your rotors.

Penguin45.Re: Fridge keeps freezing on the back wall
Lara,
Assuming that the ice is not presently there, you should find a channel running across the lower part of the back wall. At its lowest point there will be a drain hole, connecting to a drain hose. This allows condensation to drain away to the compressor tray to evaporate off. If the hole or hose is blocked, it can cause ice to build up over time. Clean out the hole and see what happens.Should this not solve the problem, please post back with the model number, so as more precise information might be given.

Is the correct element as discussed earlier in the thread. If the fan cover has already been removed, the only further screws to be removed are the ones retaining the element itself.
Power off at all times, please. :plug:

Is what you want.
Removal of door seal front lip allows sufficient access, don’t forget to put the little air pressure hose back on or you’ll be wondering where the water’s coming from on rinse…..Power off, of course. :plug:

Penguin45Re: Broken INDESIT evolution 1400 we14 – should I chuck it o
There is a filter behind the kickboard at the front of the machine. Definitely worth checking before condemning the machine outright. Hand, knees and torch required, check right back into the impellor chamber for small objects. These will allow water to drain by gravity, but prevent the pump from running.
We professionals are kept in business by the 5p, kirby grip, hair bobbles and the underwired bra!

P/no 50279059-00/5 is the part you want, about £3 each plus VAT IIRC. An email quoting the number to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will get things moving for you.
