Re: Hotpoint Aquarius WMA30 – Door wont Open
Plug the machine in. If the door locks immediately, the pcb is at fault – the triac driving the lock has failed. If it doesn’t lock until you press Start, the filter in the bottom hose may well be partially blocked, causing the pressure switch to remain in the Full position. A strip down and clean out may be the answer.
Plug out if you intend to solve this yourself.

Re: Indesit DI450 buzzing during cycle
Soap dispenser solenoid getting noisy would be my thought – it’s operated twice during the cycle.
Probably harmless………

Re: error code whirlpool adp 7560
E7 is flow meter failure. It’s a water wheel with a magnet in it; when the machine fills with water, the wheel turns, moving the magnet past a reed switch. The computer counts the pulses generated in order to control fill.
Faults are:
1/ Oxidisation of the contacts at the flow meter. A good clean and a firm pinch of the connector will often restore function.
2/ Reed switch failure. If you’re into electronics and can use a soldering iron, the reed switch can be replaced, otherwise, you need to buy THIS. It’s located under the left hand side panel.Stafe safe, power off if you intend to deal with this yourself.

Re: remove & replace decor door on White Westinghouse di
It’s an Antonio Merloni machine. Door is probably retained by two screws through the side of the door panel. Slacken them off a few turns and the door should slip forward, allowing you to lift it off the bottom lugs.
This was not the most secure fixing ever invented – there are often a couple of supplementary screws running straight through the edge of the door.

Re: Diplomat ADP8322
Once again………..
Four flashes is no drain detected in the time allowed.
1/ If the machine doesn’t drain, you will have a blockage or a drain pump failure.
2/ More likely, the water level indicator is full of congealed fat. THIS is sitting in the sump under the filters. Very hot water and an old toothbrush might just scrub it clean; failing that, it’s a twist fit from underneath if you need to get serious with it. Light action microswitch is prone to failure as well – the spring gives up; in which case buy the unit in the link above.“Search” is a wonderful thing.
Power off if you need to remove the part.

Re: Siwatherm Plus 5501 thermostat
White Knight uses a 60c button type thermostat – p/no 421307848373. Can’t think of anything using a 70c one. You might just have to pay up! 😀

Re: drum not turning on Servis 1400 Easy Logic
At the motor socket there will be one pair of tags for the armature, one pair of tags for the tacho coil and three for the field coil (spilt field to give the high spin). Field coil and armature should read a few ohms, tacho will probably give a reading in low kOhms.
The motors are generally fairly reliable – I’d be far more inclined to look at the PCB.

Re: drum not turning on Servis 1400 Easy Logic
Continuity test through motor (There are three separate circuits) first of all. PCB is notoriously unreliable, although burnt connector pads are pretty obvious and can be repaired if you can use a soldering iron.
Stay safe – power off first.

Teka. Best bet is to work out whose actual dishwasher it is and source that way.

Re: Bosch WFD2460GB/01
TOC in-line with armature – continuity test will tell.
If the brush tails have scored the armature the pcb may have blown a track or two….
