Re: BEKO WMA 510 W Bearings
I’ve seen 2 sizes of shaft on Beko machines. The small shaft ones take Electrue BRG9107 kit, the larger shaft uses seal 270180000. I got the seal from Connect as well but they don’t tend to give lists of which models their parts will fit.
Re: Hotpoint WF430G
They must stretch a lot as the difficulty is usually only with new belts, putting the old one back is not too bad. I’ve only twice had to resort to the cable tie method.
Re: newbie with broken hotpoint WMA36
Fit the new door switch, get your mate to repair the burnt track and try it. Sometimes this does the trick but sometimes chips on the board are damaged when the track blows. If you need a replacement board you can get an exchange one, ready to go, from EMW Electronics.
Re: Zanussi ZWF 1221 Moulded drum. Bearings gone.
Sorry if it sounded like I was being critical as that was not my intention. I was merely making an observation that these days you can’t trust the previously reputable makes so it is worth keeping an eye on new products re. construction, quality etc. I got it wrong myself when my mother got her first automatic, after sticking with twintubs longer than most. I suggested she get a Hoover, the model she bought was a Quattro. This was nothing like the earlier Hoover machines I had in mind when making the recommendation and did not prove to be reliable or durable.
Re: Zanussi ZWF 1221 Moulded drum. Bearings gone.
If you sell new appliances perhaps you need to lift the lids and check what you are selling. It would certainly be useful if someone was to start a thread listing models with proper tubs that can be split.
Re: Indesit WIL113UKBG
I’m only going by memory for the earlier version but this machine seems to have pretty much the same layout as the original one, unlike the hotpoint which has a new motor position, front filter etc.
Re: Hoover 1300 fast iron
It might be an out of balance problem if you only have a small load and it’s weight is concentrated on one side of the drum. If this is the case try it with a normal load.
Re: computer error ?? spares not ordered??
If they claim you ordered it online let them prove it. On their website you can display copy invoices. Backorder items should appear on the invoice from when the order was placed as well as the invoice when they were sent. If the special order item was ordered on it’s own it should appear on the list with a value of £0.00 beside it. You need to do a bit of detective work then write a letter stating the facts. Orders over £75 placed online should be free delivery so it sounds like they are saying you ordered it by phone. If so, my guess is that another customer ordered it by phone but the sales person took their account number down wrongly and entered your number.
Re: How old is this old bird?
There must have been more job satisfaction back in those days, working on good quality appliances. I can’t remember what make it was but we had a gas fridge my parents bought in the late ’50s. That lasted at least 20 years before it sprang a leak and tainted all the food with ammonia or sumsuch. The old Kerstar vacuum cleaner also went on for donkeys years before the bearings finally collapsed. On the other hand, the Frigidaire twintub was a load of rubbish.
Re: computer error ?? spares not ordered??
Which supplier? If it is one you could manage without I suggest you pay for any goods you have ordered and received and then consider the account closed. Alternatively you could ask to speak to the Managing Director about it.
Years ago I fell out with Wallaces of Edinburgh over a special order for 2 knobs, both for the same appliance. They sent me one grey knob and one brown. The customer would not accept the wrong colour one so I sent it back. Wallaces insisted it could not be returned and kept billing me for it. I never paid for the knob and never gave them another order.Re: Drum noise on spin –
Also worth wobbling the drum and observing the rear pulley. If the drum wobbles but the pulley doesn’t you know the spider has failed.
Re: Drum noise on spin –
It is probably either collapsed drum bearings or a broken drum support spider. In other words, a major repair and you need to decide if it’s worth repairing or buy new.
Re: Hotpoint WD62
The condenser O ring is still available, C00250383. Not sure about the sump elbow one but it might be C00149782.
Re: Zanussi FLA1001W not heating
Why would it switch the heater on if the NTC was saying it was already up to temperature? Last one I did was a Bendix BIW103W. Old NTC was 1.5K at room temp. , replacement was 27K. Symptoms were the same, going through without sticking but not powering the heater.
Re: Changing bearing on an Indesit we16uk
I assume you mean the bearing cross that bolts onto the back of the tub? If so, the worst bit is removing the centre torx screw in the pulley. This is very tight and fixed with Loctite. You will need either an impact driver and suitable torx bit or give the screw a sharp tap with a big drift and a lump hammer. Apart from that the job is quite easy but make sure you refit the cross the right way round as there is usually a small metal wedge at the end of one of the arms.
