Re: In search of the fourth cord
Anyone want to bite THIS IDIOT? I’m losing the will to live…..

Re: Smeg DWF 410 Water won’t heat up
It’d be poking through the base of the machne if it was fitted, so you can assume that yours doesn’t. Time to head up to the pcb and check for burnt out solder joints. I have had more than several pcbs over the years where the relay doesn’t switch the heater on.

Re: Hoover SE160E Washing Machine Fault Code
It sounds like the door lock error – is the door actually locking?

Re: creda c362e cooker control knob
The knobs are about £9 a pop – spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will be able to get them for you promptly.
Note that there are six different C362E machines, in three different colours – exact model number required for accurate identification.

Re: whirlpool fault
Check heater – 30 minute programme runs against time, not wash temperature as the proper wash programmes do. No heat can equal no advance until it times out and stops.

Re: Smelly Washer?
Change the door seal, clean what you can access easily and sell them a couple of packets of AFFRESH.

Re: LG Washing Machine “LE” Error Code
You’ve got a 50/50 shot here…… The HES is part of the motor stator assembly and the fault can equally well be the power board. My (limited) experience veers towards the power board. Either way, each is horrendously expensive, so go with company service and replace the machine as soon as it goes wrong after the warranty expires.

Mike has copied me the above post – I regret that I’m no fridge tech, so I’ll leave any advice to the rest of the lads in the morning. Mike’s pics are attached below:

Re: Smeg DWF 410 Water won’t heat up
There is nothing simple about fixing a SMEG dishwasher – I have the same model as you.
You need a test meter and a deal of patience. Power off and get the machine flat on its’ back. Base plate off to reveal the underside. The heater should give a reading of 25-30ohms when tested with the meter – burnt-out wiring at the heater is common. Also have a look round the base for a safety thermostat. This usually a white rectangular block with a red button – push it, if it goes “snick” you’ve re-set it. Some machines have it, some don’t. If you get a repetition, you’re looking at a water level issue – don’t worry about it yet.

Re: ASHES
Not now it doesn’t……. Hands up all those who thought 435 was a good score? It looks very ominous – we can lose this one very easily.

Re: Tumble Dryer brands
As you have found, the WK machines are built to a budget……
Better are the ‘Lux group machines – Zanussi is the most common brand-name. They do seem to be reasonably robust, although I’d be inclined to avoid the digital ones.
If you go digital the Bosch machines are popular and seem reliable. Two year guarantee is nice.
Complete budget-buster but a superb piece of equipment is our own ISE10 Dryer. Expensive, but a 10 year parts and labour warranty can make it a real no-brainer of a choice 😀 .

Re: WhiteKnight 767c – drum won’t turn
The drum “spider” has disintegrated – it isn’t a spare, so the replacement part is a new drum assembly – likely to be £70-80 plus.
I have to say that looking at the state of the spider, it must have been noisy for some time………

Re: Matsui MF2W/A stuck in cycle
It’s a mechanical timer Chinese one, so there is a very common problem which pops up regularly.
Is the water getting hot at the point at which the timer stops? The timer stops until the thermostat completes the circuit at the right temperature and restarts it.
If “No”, you’ll need one of THESE LITTLE CHAPPIES – the thermal safety cut-out. They fail for fun….
Stay safe, power off if you intend to deal with this yourself.
