Re: Zanussi DW908 Dishwasher not heating water/drying
Lots of possibilities with this one, but one over-riding fact should be considered. It’s controlled by an electro-mechanical timer, which is stationary during the heat phase. The thermostat in the door completes the timer circuit by closing when it reaches temperature and thus restarts the timer motor. If the machine is running through the prgramme cold, it would be reasionable to assume that the thermostat has failed in the closed position, causing the timer to run through the various heat positions.
Power off, remove outer door panel and use your test meter to check for continuity through the thermostat which is clipped to the door inner by the dispenser. It should read open circuit (ie infinite resistance) at room temperature.
That’s your starting point – check it out and report back.

Re: Fault Code TEKA DW6 55
No fill detected in the time allowed, me thinks.
Do the obvious things first: Check that the water suppy is actually on and working and that the fill hose is not trapped or kinked in its routing. If that is OK, it’s probably an inlet valve failure.
Power off if you intend to try and solve this yourself.

Re: Change bearing on Hoover HSW 150M
It’s all about time…… To an experienced professional repairer this a two – two and a half hour job and time is money. A bearing and seal set alone is not particularly expensive – £15-£25 typically, so it’s cost effective to you to do it for yourself.
The stumbling block with all bearing jobs is that until the machine is apart you can often not judge the condition of the drum shaft – on a Hoover/Candy appliance, this is usually the inner drum and shaft as an assembly = expensive.

Re: Whirlpool Dishwasher ADG 7560
Three flashes is no heat detected in the time allowed. The trip was almost certainly therefore caused by the heating element failing. I have seen the same fault caused by the wirng at the heater burning out. You should test the element for resistance (25-30 ohms) to be certain.
Replacement element can be found HERE.
Above might help you.
Stay safe, power off if you intend you deal with this yourself.

Re: smeg dwf417
Flood protection is activated. Either the base tray is flooded and the float switch has risen up to work the switch, or the air pressure system has activated it if the pressure switch is not working.
Power off before working on the appliance.

Re: Hotpoint WF630P Heater
Thermistor should give a reading high kOhms – check the ranging on your test meter first.
Spare part, if required, is the heater assembly – HERE.

Re: candy cfd 612-80 error code
It’s a Chinese one – the lights lit do not match any known error code. Standard faults on these are heater circuit and water level problems – this one uses a flow meter rather than a pressure switch.
Failing that, the pcb has corrupted if you cannot reset it.

Re: Whirlpool ADP731 d/w
I *think* from memory that these has a re-set safety thermostat on top of the heater tube – it may have clicked out. They were also prone to the wiring burning out on the heater circuit.
The thumping noise may point to a circulation problem – poor circulation will cause the heater safety to trip out. I would suggest that you set the machine off on the rinse programme. After circulation starts, pop the door open and you will should spot the rotors stopping with water spraying out of them. Worn pivot bushes and blocked rotors (especially the tips) can cause all sorts of problems.
A few things to think about – stay safe if you intend to try and solve this yourself – plug out before opening up.
