So why did it not also turn on the drain pump?

Re: Daewoo DWD G1441S drum bearing relacement

I have taken the rotor of the direct drive motor off for a look. I can see the bearing. Unfortunately no numbers visible on the face that I can see.

Am I correct that the sequence is split the outer drum casing, withdraw the drum from the inside and then remove the bearing?

I am not clear yet how t get the bearing out. I have a puller, but can’t immediately see how I could configure that. I am suspecting the bearing is in there damned tight. I don’t see I can apply heat either as it’s a plastic drum casing.

From what I can see there is an aluminium insert set into the plastic drum casing and the bearing is pushed into that.

Re: Daewoo DWD G1441S drum bearing relacement

another question, does anyone have the service manual for this machine? if so could you look up the manufacturers part number for the new bearing and seal which might make it easier to find. Thanks

Re: Daewoo DWD G1441S drum bearing relacement

Thanks

Yes the (plastic) drum outer does split. And yes expect it to be a bit of a long job.

I had hoped to order a new bearing and seal before I strip it down so I can fix it and get it back in use quicker. Where do you recommend for getting the new bearing and seal.

I doubt it’s gone too far yet. The play is not enough for the drum to scrape on the drum outer so I hope no other damage has happened yet.

Re: Hotpoint WM52 start problem

I have all the parts (except motor) from a WM52 that I scrapped a while ago.

The drum had self destructed, and was completely loose inside it’s housing, so I dismantled the machine, kept the useful parts and scrapped the rest.

So if anyone needs any bits, please PM me.

Re: Indesit W161UK (LB2000C) controller board fault

Just 6 months after fixing my machine, the drum decided to self destruct (the weld is separating)

So I’ve now given up on this machine and scrapped it.

So I have a complete set of spare parts for this machine for sale now, including the motor (with recent brushes) and the controller board etc.

PM me if anyone needs any parts for this machine, all in working order.

Re: Indesit W161UK (LB2000C) controller board fault

The parts arrived a couple of days ago, and I’ve finally had time to fit them.

New brushes and replacement for the blown triac, and the machine’s back in working order.

Thanks for all who helped.

Re: Indesit W161UK (LB2000C) controller board fault

Hi

I’d just found that out, that the motor brushes are shot.

Having (as a temporary measure) tweeked the holders to squeeze the last few microns out of them, the machine does at least try and start a program by starting to fill the machine.

But as soon as another relay clicks on to power the motor, nothing happens (the motor does not turn), then if flashes up error code 2 (jammed motor or words to that effect)

I think I’ve tracked that down to a blown triac on the controller board.

New brushes and triac on order, Ill see if that fixes it.

Yes I would love to be able to access the trade area and discuss this with technically able people. But I don’t quite fit the criteria.

Originally apprentice trained as an electronics designer specialising in control and instrumentation, and having spent 26 years designing, building, installing and comissioning industrial machinery, I am competent at all aspects of fault finding and repairing a whole host of electrical and electronic machinery.

I now work self employed doing all sorts from domestic white and brown goods repairs, installations, and even some design work still.

But It appears I still don’t fit the criteria to be classed as “trade”

The biggest “problem” I have is finding service information. I have the service manual for this machine, but that does not cover decent details, like the schematic of the controller board so one can easilly fault find to component level.

So it would be really good to talk to those who have access to that information, but I guess I’ll just have to struggle by on my own.

thanks very much for your helpful advice.
