Re: Sanyo EM-D955
Just looked in the Seme catalogue and they list an EMD953 and an EMD9550. The latter has MPAR6107 for the motor and MPAR6114 for the shaft. The book does not have prices and my CD is not working properly.
Re: Fridge Freezer Cold Location
I don’t do refrigeration so I suppose I look at these things from the customers perspective. In my previous house the kitchen was a single brick thickness extension with, for the first year or 2, no heating. It was cold and slightly damp, not ideal for a fridge freezer but my old Candy worked perfectly until a steel pipe rotted through. I bought a new Tricity Bendix FF and had problems straight away with condensation forming along the edges of both sides where they met the fridge door seal. I called Service Force? out to look at it and they said it was my kitchen that was to blame. I could have accepted this if I’d had similar problems with the old appliance but it had always stayed dry. It now lives in a centrally heated kitchen but the paintwork is starting to bubble up. The FF is 4 years old. 🙁
Re: Indi????
Noisy? Check the bottom suspension mounts, they tend to tear out of the bit of foil that serves as a base. 😆
Re: Hotpoint brushes – laminated vs thin.
These spurs do make a mess of customers laminated floors and it can be difficult finding somewhere to tie up the hoss. 😉 Some of those soldered-in brushes I fitted in 1998 are still going strong though.
Re: Hotpoint brushes – laminated vs thin.
I’ve never used the new carbons in old holders on Hotpoints but I used to do this with the Indesco brushes, which used to be very expensive. Pattern Bosch carbons were the same size and a quarter of the price of the Indesco brush assemblies.
Re: WMA bearing change
The Zanussi tub is heavier than the Hotpoint one due to the front counterweight. You need 2 lengths of strong wire, poke a screwdriver under the hook of a top spring to lift it away slightly from the top chassis plate and poke your wire through. Wind the pairs of wire ends round your hands and lift the springs + tub to disengage the springs then lower the whole issue to sit on the base. You can then just lift it out and Robert is your uncle.
Re: should have found site sooner
Welcome to the nuthouse. You are going all the way to Egypt to get treatment for a bad back? 😆
Re: Not the advice I wanted
I’m sure if you have a good look round you will find the old knackered bearings. 😉
Re: home brew
Making beer with a kit is dead easy but bottling it is tedious. When I lived in Coventry I used to do homebrew but the horrible water there used to taint the beer. I suppose a filter might have helped but I was a penniless student at the time. Now I have better quality water but I’m too lazy to do it.
Re: WMA bearing change
I would be quite happy to do Zanussi bearing jobs all day every day and not have to worry about tricky diagnostics on under-engineered computer boards. Not only do the broken bearings come out easier but the spider bolts are a LOT easier to get out.
Re: Zanussi FJS1225 Time Travelling
Went back today. It ran fine until 5 minutes before the end, when it made a screeching sound like car wheelspin for about a second. It then shut down for about a minute then resumed agitating for the conditioner rinse. Apparently it has been doing this screeching twice before resetting to the programme start. I had already looked at the tacho and motor plug but this time I bent all the contacts slightly to make sure of a secure grip where the motor wires (all purple 🙁 ) go onto the module. I would have thought a bad connection on the tacho wiring would show itself when the machine vibrates more during the spin but it seemed fine after that tiny glitch. I found a small leak, which appears to be the tub joint but I don’t think water has been dripping on anything electrical as it is dripping off a rib on the side onto the plastic base. It looked as though the water might have been coming from a screw hole so I filled that with silicone.
Re: candy filter/pump .
Part No. 41005956. Masterpart list it as status OK but I’m not sure if that means it’s in stock. 😕
Re: Built in test programs
Hotpoint Ultima WM71-73 there is a spin test and a wet test. For spin test hold A & D keys down and press the On button then the start key. Wet test hold A & C down etc.
