Re: punctured tyre
I live opposite a small tyre/exhaust/brakes place – never any problems getting punctures sorted for a small cash donation. I suspect that the spectacular re-wire of his SMEG range cooker might have helped matters……… 😀
It’s just like this business – the small independent will help you, as he wants your business. The big boys just wish to separate you from your cash.

Board code is meaningless. Repairers work to manufacturers part numbers.

Re: Price and range of ISE appliances?
Better have it…. MrsP is selling more down the phone than I am face-to-face.

Re: Bosch Maxx WFL245S
Once you’ve drained it, pull the filter (next to drain hose) and see what you find. Check right back to the pump impellor – torch will come in handy.

Re: white westinghouse 02-200105
It’s some sort of SMEG-built machine, but that’s about all I can find on it. Simple thing to check is that the timer buttons are not sticking through grease build up – beyond that I can only suggest that the timer unit itself is faulty. Expensive……..

Re: E50 error on zanussi condenser dryer ZDB 5377 W
It is a drive motor problem. Start a programme and put your ear to the casing. If you can hear a faint humming noise before the code comes up, the motor start/run capacitor may well have failed. Otherwise, motor or pcb will be at fault. These digital dryers (What was wrong with a mechanical timer?) are very difficult to diagnose beyonmd the basic mechanical failures.
Stay safe – power off if you’re doing this yourself.

Re: Diplomat APM 8552 Drive problem
Grinding noise will almost certainly be the drain pump doing its thing. The elctronic board on these machines is notoriously unreliable.
Set the machine to “5”. It should perform a series of tumbles and slightly faster tumbles, with the drain pump running. When the timer advances one “click”, the pump should stop for a while and the machine should do a few tumbles before kicking off into several short spins with the drain pump running, before going into the spin proper.
Note:
Drive belt with not a lot of tension will stop the machine spinning.
Out of balance load will stop the machine spinning.
Earth leakage on the heater will stop the machine spinning.
Poor/oxidised contacts on the edge connectors on the pcb will stop the machine spinning.
BUT – it’s usually the electronic board that’s the culprit. Part number is printed on the board – 546——–spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will be able to supply promptly. Be very sure that that is what you require, as electronic components are not returnable.
Stay safe – power off before handling any components.

Re: Whirlpool AWO/D4505 Service light
Not enough to go on with the information provided, I’m afraid, The “various lights” may well indicate an error condition – you’ll have to try again and note which ones come up – L-R, 1-6 and the the two lower lamps at each end are what we need.

Re: Electrolux ew1200i not spinning but plenty filling/empty
There have been quite a few EW1200i machines over the years. The fault you describe is indicative of an electronic board failure – the timers’ advance is controlled by it on the early machines.
Post up the pNc number (label by the door seal) and we might be able to narrow it down a bit.

Re: Smeg DWI 410 (12150) flooded and no lights
No. You’ve drained the cavity (the “wash box”). Under the machine at floor level there is a tray which closes the underside of the machine. It contains a flood protection device. If water gets into that tray, it shuts of the programme, although it would normally throw up an error code on the lights. Still, easy to check and eliminate from the list of suspects.
THIS ARTICLE is worth a read – SMEG machines do not always follow conventional logic when it comes to problem solving.
