Re: Drum spring replacement WFT2800GB/13
The only time you ever need to replace a suspension spring on one of these is if it physically breaks.
Major vibration problems are usually down to drain issues. Filter is pretty obvious, sink coupling (if appropriate) is worth checking, failing that, check the air break bottle at the back – they clag up overtime and slow the drain flow.
Power off first bfore doing anything internal.

Re: bearing replcement Bosch WFO2465GB
You won’t like it very much…..
Make sure that that you have an entirely free Sunday. Remove drum assembly from the machine – the front of the machine comes off. Take pics/make diagrams of where any wiring goes. Disconnect hoses, suspension legs, remove soap box to give yourself enough room.
Splitting the tub is the real fun part. There are some screws, but it’s clipped together. The clips have to go – don’t panic, there are extra screws in the bearing kit to compensate.
If you haven’t done this before, you’re probably about three hours in. Pulley off, put bolt back on and drive the shaft out using a significantly large hammer and drift. Check shaft carefully for marks, damage, grooves. If they are there, the job just became uneconomic. If it looks good, use the hammer and drift to knock out the bearings and seals. Work evenly around the edges of the bearings to drive them out. Replacement is the reverse process – make very sure to drive on the outer race of the bearings and not clip the middle.
I’m a professional repairer and I hate these. Got it down to about two hours now – you will need extreme patience to sort this.

Re: AEG door opens during cycle
Possibly. Model number and preferably the pNc number required for any sort of accurate response.

Keep it simple – stuck button is an entirely possible suspect.

Re: Zunussi ZCE7610W free standing cooker
You again… 😀
Thermostat failure sounds perfectly reasonable – p/no 3890771-24/3 – spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will get you one promptly.
However…. This is not a straightforward operation. The hob top has to come off to allow access, as well as the back cover of the machine. It is basicaly lots of screws, an orderly approach and patience. If you’re going to have a crack, take pictures, make diagrams and take your time.
Power off, obviously!

Re: Zanussi ZBF660 Built in oven door seal
I *think* you have to release the front panel from the oven cavity, then fit the seal and re-fit.

Re: DIPLOMAT ADP0530 SOFTLINE 720G low flame?
Presumably the FSD (Flame Safety Device) or thermostat will have failed. As you will be aware, Diplomat was the MFI brand name and is now bust. Your BG repairer would look to source spares that way and now can’t. The oven was actually built by SMEG, so a suitably qualified repairer should be able to source any parts required via SMEG.
Do not, under any circumstances, attempt a repair yourself.

Re: Indesit Wil123s lights flashing. What do they mean
F07. This indicates a problem with the heater circuit. Heater may have failed, wiring to the heater may have broken or burnt, but all to often it’s the pcb and it’s associated relays which fail.
Power off if you intend to investigate this yourself.

Re: Indesit 320 doesn’t drain water
There are no parts left for it – it’s 20-25 years old now.
However, last year, I did manage to finagle one of THESE into one of a similar age.

Re: Hoover VHD814-80 – Misses programs – only 7 out of 15 wo
Ah – bought from one of the Connect Distribution fronts. We have no idea what you’ve fitted, unless there was a manufacturers part number on the actual packet.
The actual part number should have been 41014502.

Re: Indesit WIDL126S Washer/Dryer – no lights
That one is definitely a pcb problem. Replacement will be required. It’s a leading member of The Not Very Good Club of Italy, so I’d be looking at moving on.

Re: Hoover HNF 71683D: not draining
If the pump runs when directly connected to the supply, it’s fine. For the record, we do not recommend any sort of live testing – people die…
Using a test meter set for continuity, check the resistance of the pump (150-230ohms depending on type) at the pump, then at the pcb end of the loom. If you have a very similar reading at the pcb end, the pcb is almost certainly at fault – a visual inspection may well reveal that the relevant triac has blown.
If this is the case, a replacement pcb will be required (unless you’re an electronics whizz) – we would advise changing the pump motor at the same time, regardless.
