Re: Fitting new oven element to Neff 1552 fan oven
You can sometimes tell by scratch marks on the terminals of the old element whether a male spade has ever been fitted with a female spade. If one of the double terminals looks like its only ever had one spade fitted the 2 individual wires probably go on the other double terminal. On the other hand, I suppose it might have 3 wires on one terminal and one on the other. sorry, that’s not much help. 😳
Re: Thermal Imaging
No, I was thinking more of the sort of hood display the firemen use to spot people in a smoke filled room. At £7000 I won’t be getting one just yet though 😆
Re: PAT Testers
I’m now told that they are calibrated at the factory but don’t come with certification. It should therefore be OK to use it for 12 months before getting it calibrated.
Re: Help! Bosch Logixx 1400 leaking from below…
Are you in a remote location then? Perhaps there’s an opportunity for someone to set up a repair business.
Re: Help! Bosch Logixx 1400 leaking from below…
Try the repairs@ facility or your local paper to get a local independent engineer who will hopefully charge a lot less than Bosch. The only way to diagnose is to get it out, take the back and lid off and observe where the water comes from.
Re: Hotpoint Motor TOC
I fitted a TOC from an old GEC type motor and put the motor back today. I ran it through a full spin and it worked fine so, fingers crossed…..
Re: Advice on vented tumble dryer choice please
White Knight are pretty good. The problem with gas tumble dryers is that most people (including gas engineers) are not qualified to work on the gas parts of the machine. Gas Safe (formerly CORGI) engineers have to get qualifications in each type of appliance i.e. boilers, cookers, fires etc. There are so few gas dryers around that hardly any of them do the exams etc.
Avoid Hotpoint, Creda, Indesit and Ariston. Zanussi make good dryers.Re: card services
I suppose one strategy would be to insist on cash only for addresses in areas with no phone coverage. This could be made clear when making the appointment.
Re: zanussi FJS 1197W Violent wobble
These are only dampers so they don’t support the weight of the tub, which hangs from springs at the top. If you turned the machine upside down one or both the dampers may have come apart as one half simply pushes into the other. It is much safer to have the machine the right way up and remove the rear cabinet half. To detach a damper you need to depress the retaining peg in the pointed end of the plastic pin and pull the pin out with pliers. I find if you push a 13mm ring spanner over the end of the pin it pushes in the peg sufficiently for pin removal. Check the front and rear counterweights are secure on the tub.
Re: hotpoint wmd960puk f01……motor..?
There is not a lot to go wrong on these motors. There are 2 thin wires from the tacho coil, the 3 stator wires for the 3 phases and 2 pale grey wires for the TOC. If these all give sensible meter readings it should work.
Re: Beko WMA651
Electrue do a kit for Beko BRG9107 but do not give any clues to which models it fits. There is also a seal, 2701080000 which fits various WMA models but I don’t know if it’s right for yours.
Re: How to mend a Hotpoint wma ‘door light flashing’ PC
Usually there are burnt copper strips so you just need to solder in wire links. You could check continuity between the interlock plug and the corresponding plug on the module.
Re: card services
I will be putting off getting card processing gear for as long as possible but when cheques disappear it won’t be possible to operate without it. My main concern if it uses mobile phone technology is what you do in areas with no signal. Also it seems that this whole business of processing card payments is not properly regulated, hence the recent demise of Flyglobespan. 🙁
