    Re: Are there any Retro Fridge/Freezers that are Frost Free?

    My learned colleague is telling you that Gorenje manufacture the SMEG retro fridges. If they ever bother to sort out the problem with the front chassis rail (Which supports the door) collapsing, it’d be a decent fridge.

    Re: trouble with my indesit washer/dryer

    Doesn’t seem very logical – I think I’d start with the water level pressure switch. Had a good few of these fail over the years.

    Power off, count the wires on the switch. 2 or 3 is a single level switch, more is a two level switch. If you gently pressurise it, you should hear the switch “click” over an appropriate number of times. If the switch is working, the collecting bell may be choked with crud. Follow the small air hose down under the machine and see if the air bell is choked with accumulated crud.

    Re: BEKO DE 3542 FW – burning smell and not switching on

    Power off and have a look inside the facia panel. On/off switch, door switch and PCB are all potential culprits which will give these symptoms.

    Re: Fisher and paykel GW798U

    I think you’ll find that’s fault 11. It’s a water level control issue. With the machine fully empty, check that the air hose to the level switch does not have water in it, is not holed, kinked, trapped or blocked. The water level switch itself may be at fault – this is part of the motor controller board, so if it has failed, replacement of the whole will be required,

    There is no test mode as far as I’m aware. If the heater is showing an acceptable reading, a no/poor heat problem on these machines is always an underfilling issue.

    Power off, machine out and tipped back, drop the base tray. Split the circuit to the heater and meter it on a low ohms resistance setting. Somewhere around 25ohms is acceptable. If it is, check the wiring at the pivot point of the door.

    Lid and r/h side panel off, plug out, identify white box under tub. Split circuit, meter across terminals. Somewhere between 20 and 30 ohms is acceptable.

    Then remove the l/h side panel and clean out the water level chamber and transfer pipe, which will then allow enough water to enter the machine to operate the pressure switch on the end of the heater box and allow the heater to operate.

    You won’t get much better than Liebherr, unless you buy the Miele one, which is a Liebherr with a badge on it.
