Re: September 2009
He’s Steven Withers. Any comments, please?
I would suggest that, as the “official” date has passed, we close the nominations and ask for a block election mandate for the September meeting.
If acceptable, I’ll draft a proposition for us to post over the weekend,
Chris.
Re: Bosch WFO2866gb not turning
Test meter is your friend. Meter across the motor terminals and ensure that the circuit shows 5-10 ohms. If you already have the brushes out of the motor, check that the running surfaces of both are nice and shiny. If one looks dull, they’re finished and need replacing.

Re: Some help to repair a dishwasher please, not draining
Power off. If you are lucky, the base panel can be removed by undoing 4 screws to reveal the drain pump. If you are not, you’ll need to remove the lid, side panels, door outer and kick panel for access to the screws to release the base.
Drain pump is a twist fit, but you need to release a locking screw first. Undoing three screws will allow you to separate the pump motor from the housing, thus revealing any foreign objects.

Re: Whirlpool ADG7550 error code
Hmm – same as last time then as far as the fault code is concerned.
Is the water actually heating? Is the water circulating? No circulation and some very strange things can happen.
Clear the fault by pressing and holding the start button. When the drain pump stops running, try the rinse programme. Give it a few minutes to do the drain/sluice bit of the programme and the open the door sharply. You should see water subsiding from the rotors. Do it fast enough, you might even get wet.
Check that first and report back.

Re: ADP4400 Whi…
If you can hear a relay clicking in and out in time with the pulsing, the pcb is at fault.

Re: Knocking Bosch.
Jim, if it’s got square dampers, they knock. The replacement damper is a round rather more substantial jobbie with a bolt and various spacers. You’ll need a drill for the plastic pin. In and out in 30 mins when you figure it out.
BSH say that there isn’t a problem.

Has someone been feeding him happy pills? He’s put up some good stuff today.

Re: WTA Elections 2009/11
Thank you for those kind words, Trev.
The original post refers to the re-election of the Commitee – a topic originally posted in May. There are seven of us and two wish to stand down. Four months later, you will understand that we are getting somewhat frustrated and worried at the lack of response……..
Two nominees have now come forward, and in the absence of further candidates, we look forward to working with them for the next two years.
What all UKW members have to understand is that the government will seek, eventually, to legislate this business. Quite why they can’t go and knock over the sparks or plumbers first is quite beyond me, but in the fullness of time, the spotlight will be turned on us.
The principal, over-riding, item of business is to present and have accepted a Code of Practice in place before this happens. If we do it, it will be accepted on our terms and managed by us. This should mean little pain to the membership of the WTA, who are signed up de facto to the Code of Practice when it all happens.
It’s not a problem now or tomorrow, but it’s on the horizon and the very last thing we want to see happen is the kind of legislation applicable to the CORGI or presumably GAS SAFE lads. Do you really want to fill in a form (Which you have to pay for) for clearing a blockage or fitting a set of brushes? Somehow, I don’t think so.
Those of you who choose not to sign up to the WTA (Membership is dead cheap! We don’t really want your money, we need your numbers.) may be answering awkward questions about “compliance” to the ministry a few years from now….
Join us, help us, let’s do this on our terms.
Chris.
Re: September 2009
Is he Green or Burton? Suppose I’ll have to post an “official” update tomorrow. Rather than Ken’s most entertaining one in General Trade 😀 .
