Re: Ariston Oven – Temperature Regulation Problem

Ok thank you for the advice, I’ll give it a go.

Re: Ariston Oven – Temperature Regulation Problem

Ok I figued it out:

Pop off the buttons from the front of the oven and remove two screws at the top of the oven which hold the metal plate on, pulling the panel forward (but still attached at the bottom) I can see the thermostat.

Swing the oven around, remove the back panel and I can see that a wire runs from the thermostat through a hole into the oven where the probe (?) is clipped.

Simple job t replace this, hopefully it will fix the problem.

Thanks for the gentle guidance, glad I figured it.

D’oh ok :0)

So I can pull the knob off and access the thermostat.

Thanks,

Re: Ariston Oven – Temperature Regulation Problem

No offence taken, I know how to remove an electrical component but will not pretend to know a lot about ovens other than the absolute basics.

Of course I understand that the temperature knob control the thermostat but are you saying the knob itself is the thermostat?

Thanks,

Rob.

Re: Ariston Oven – Temperature Regulation Problem

I think you’re right, that is the rotary for the spit.

What does the thermostat look like and should it be accessible at the back of the oven?

Thanks,

Rob.

Re: Indesit D41

Ok it looks like the main motor has blown. I tried swapping out some of the other components but it has made no difference.

Time to consider if it is worth replacing it for around £40!

Re: Indesit D41

Thnks Kwatt – what is the cause of the overfoaming – too much detergent or something within the machine not functioning properly? There does seem to be a few people complaining of this issue.

I’ve turned the machine onto it’s side, removed the bottom plate to have a poke around inside – nothing ‘looks’ damaged so it is hard to tell where the fault lies. Could it be the main motor? I have a spare machine which I am breaking for spares so I have some parts to swap out (this other machine starts a cycle, sounds like it is taking water it doesn’t, it then makesa strange noise and it looks like someone is trying flick the inlet pipe – so hopefully a different fault!).

Thanks,

Rob.

Re: Indesit D41

Problem not quite resolved. I had foam comoing out by the left-hand door hinge this evening. The machine then started making a crackling sound (water in electrical componenets) before the fuse box tripped.

If I switch it now all appears well, the iights on front panel illuminate, water runs into the machine then it just sits there doing nothing?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rob.

Re: Indesit D41

Thanks for the replies.

I put it all back together and ran a rinse program and with the waste pipe held at about waist height (excuse the pun!) water was pouring out. So it seems the problem has been resolved although I could not find any obvious blockages or debris which might cause the problem.

Thanks for your help guys!

Re: Indesit D41

I put a live and neutral across the terminals and the pump span so looks like that is not the problem.

Re: Indesit D41

I had to remove the back of the pump (3 x screws) in order to get access to the clip. I cannot see or feel any blockages:

I am guessing thereofore that the problem is the pump itself – can this be tested out of the machine?

Many thanks,

Rob.

Re: Indesit D41

Thanks kwatt.

I removed the side panel and traced the waste pipe into the machine:

Where do I check for a blockage – should I remove the clip around the waste pipe and remove the pipe? I tried this but could not get it to unlock?

Thanks again,

Rob.
