Re: Bluesky BLF1011SP – drum stuck on fast spin
It’s a Beko-build, so tacho magnet is a good suspect.

Re: Whirlpool TL 3RLSQ**** series
Nothing else listed……. Lateral thinking:
Woolies For Trim.Amazing the places you find when you start restoring classic cars….. Probably be cheaper than Whirlpool anyway. 😀

Re: In search of the fourth cord
Ah well, today’s a new day. 😀 Not many things get my goat, I’m afraid this one rather did.
Told you I had a sticky…… Could do a shakey video of it if you prefer….?

Re: Fisher Paykel GW708U one second beeps and 01101000 104 c
It’s a communication error between the controller and display boards. Yours is a phase 4 machine, so assuming wiring integrity/continuity, the fault lies in the display board rather that the motor controller board. Later versions can have this fault caused by dicky pumps and RPS units, but that shouldn’t apply to yours.

Re: In search of the fourth cord
Well, that got rather unpleasant. There is now a post-it note above my computer screen with some names on it. Can’t use “Ignore” if you’re a Moderator…..
I am disappointed that so many of our colleagues still have their heads implanted so far up their rectal passages that the only daylight they see is through their nostrils.
Might I also point out that the row started after Martins’ cunning deceit of posting the Youtube link rather than the shop@ one. The house troll is now probably hugging himself with glee at the ensuing row – and – his usual concilliatory/sarky statment when he’s seen which way the wind is blowing.
Sorry, I’ve had it up to here with him.

Re: Oven & grill function switch
811730118 is the part number for the function selector switch – spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will get you one promptly if you wish to proceed with this yourself.
Lamp cover is a screw thread – they get glued home by baked grease, so more force is required.
As this is a duel fuel appliance and the repair involves removing the gas top, we can’t advise you further. As a non-Corgi/GasSafe repairer, I would not be allowed to carry out this repair. As a private individual, you can do as you wish, but your houshold insurance position is potentially “interesting” if things go wrong…….

Moderator.Re: Leaking Tub Seal
Further to Iadoms’ comments, you could try the following:
Remove the clamp band, ensure tub seal is in place and locate home. Using at least one knee to hold the backplate in place, fit the clamp band. Use a mole grip at the 6 o’clock position to force the clamp band fully home, then tighten the locking bolt. Remove grip, refit stats and wiring and you’re in with a shout of it all being pulled together properly.

Re: Whirlpool ADG 7550 will not close
bzz67s suggestion is good, also check the position of the door when open. It should only open through 90 degrees – if it is drooping towards the floor, the hinges are bent and will need replacing, as they are effectively springing the door forward in the the closed position.
That’s a really, really nasty job……….

Re: washer-dryer advice
Washer dryers are a bit of a pig-in-a-poke. They will wash a 5 or 6kg load the same as any other washer – the fun starts with the the drying side of things. In very small print in the user book, it tells you that it will only dry half a load at a time. This is the tip of a rather complex iceberg.
The machine will dry half a load of light cottons or synthetics – ie, teeshirts, smalls, hand towels, socks and stuff, which can “fly” through” the hot air flow in the undersized drum. It all goes pear-shaped with bath/beach towels, which spread out and strangle the air flow. Then you get onto the density/weight problem. Denim jeans are a classic problem – the machines will get them to a stage where they can be finished off with an iron, but they will not dry them.
Also consider that a modern washer dryer will dry half a load of washing in 90 minutes, using, typically 2.7/2.9kW/Hr. A tumble dryer will do all the load in an hour for the same usage rate in less time.
Also consider that the washer dryer is an immensely complex beastie. In these days of computer control any fault detected in the washer or dryer section will stop the machine altogether.
The ideal solution for a low usage situation is a washer and a compact dryer which can be wheeled out when required.
If you have to go with a washer dryer, the Electrolux Group machines’ dryers work quite well until they fill with fluff and the elctronics can be a bit eccentric. BSH stuff is better but expensive.
