Re: ELBA pxdo 60 oven not working
Safety cut-out gone? Oven thermostat not cycling will allow the oven to over-heat – tripping will cut off all oven function.
Power off before wielding the test meter.

Re: zanussi zwf 1432 sealed or not?
There is no new one – you have to buy all the bits and build it yourself 😀 . Not going to happen, is it?

Re: zanussi zwf 1432 sealed or not?
Yup, welded. Replace drum by buying all the individual bits……

Re: Dead F&P GW703
It’s either a dead short or a gross overload, if the board has gone bang. You might like to follow the blown tracks back to the edge connectors and consider what they are attached to as an indicator as to what component may be at fault.
Board level stuff we can’t really help you with – there is no tech info available.

Re: Bosch WVT1260- Increased Drying Time?
I’m afraid this is one of those slightly nebulous questions…….. I can give you some maybes.
1/ The valve should supply a trickle of water to condense the steam in the housing. This is typically about a pint a minute. The flow is reduced by a restrictor on the outlet for the individual solenoid involved. There is often a rubber pressure washer on the restrictor on the inlet side of the valve, which is supposed to be pressure sensitive. If the pressure is significantly lower than before, removing the mesh filter, then the rubber washer, may increase the overall flow. Be sure to re-fit the mesh filter.
2/ These machines are shockers for breaking the wiring to the thermostats on the top of the blower housing. If the wiring to the high temperature stat has broken, you’ll only get low heat = extended drying times.
3/ Ambient temperature is a red herring. The dryer uses air in a closed loop system and, even at low temperature, runs at about 110c. A few degrees difference in the ambient will make no difference whatsoever.
4/ The axial flow fan is a so and so for filling up with fluff and reducing the air flow.
5/ The other possibility is that the condenser housing is choked with fluff. Moving the machine can dislodge the years of fluff and lint coating the condenser housing and effectively block the housing. This is a really nasty one to try and sort, so keep your fingers crossed that one of the above applies.
Power off if delving into the machine yourself.

Re: Diplomat ADP5701 – Problem with Oven Door
It may well be that the hinges are not correctly re-located in the sockets. Remove the door with the hinges locked and have a look at their bottom edges. There is usually a notch which has to sit on the edge of the socket to locate the hinge properly. If it was working before and doesn’t now, this is the most likely explanation.
