    Yes, I sold my first AW23 with two year guarantee the other day at £399 plus £20 installation. I don’t see any point in discounting them.

    Ah, but what year is it Geoff. AFAIK 2008 is the last ever version.

    Jim.

    Not so; it’s a 2009 version recently released.

    I’ve just posted a query about a clicking water inlet valve relay on this thread. It may answer yours as well.

    Re: whirlpool s20d rsb33ag sn 8586 158 15010 which board

    I’ve got the same machine, serial no. 110421013075 ; the rear board relay that supplies the water inlet valve is clicking on and off so the water is pulsing through the valve, and the customer complains of clicking starting when he opens the door, although I didn’t hear it. The appliance isn’t de-frosting.

    Do I need to change both boards or just the rear one, does anyone know?

    MS; did changing the rear board solve your problem?

    Thanks

    Geoff

    Have you checked the usual things like insulation resistance, heater continuity, pumping out ok , inlet valves, motor brushes?

    Re: Running a wm motor out of the machine

    I have a power supply in the workshop that delivers 30, 60, and 110 volts, and a vice on the bench, so I can hold a motor in the vice and run it up slowly to start with. This has been very useful over the years for testing them and bedding brushes in. I made up test leads to plug in Hoover and Hotpoint motors over the years using the plugs taken off the wiring looms of scrap machines but have also connected them just using leads with spade terminals.

    A few years ago I bought a variable transformer [ like a Variac but an unknown make] at an auction for £7 which enabled a motor to be run up from zero to 240v; even more useful, but this packed up some time ago.

    The dimmer switch idea sounds good; I think I’ll try that.

    I don’t see anything wrong with bench testing motors in this way so long as the necessary precautions are taken to avoid accidents.

    Yes, I forgot to mention the staff; they were very nice and helpful. I actually left them a tip. Can’t think what’s come over me. 😯

    Re: Whirlpool dishwasher hinge replacement Help Please

    Don’t know about your model but on the older Whirlpool and Bauknecht dishwashers the adjusters and springs were in the base, and you could gain access to them and the hinges from the front. You didn’t need to remove the machine from its housing to change any of them. Is that not the case with yours?

    The Millers may have had marginally more atmosphere than the Hilton, [only marginally mind], but apart from the size issue you have to stand in the middle of the car park to get a mobile signal. In this day and age that alone should count it out.
    I thought the Hilton was ideal. The location couldn’t be bettered for most people and the food was superb and plentiful, although interestingly not quite as good on the Saturday night. The room and facilities [ie swimming pool] excellent, and the price deal that Bryan negotiated was very reasonable. I wouldn’t even be tempted to stay in a B&B 😯 so it must have been good 😆 .

    As for the date of the next meeting, from a purely personal point of view if September 18th could be avoided it would suit me.

    I’d just like to thank Bryan, Ian, Lawrence and their lovely wives for all the hard work they put in to make the meeting the success and good fun that it was. The venue was great as well. Looking forward to a return visit 😀 .

    Perhaps next time Tina might even get to see what happens in a men’s toilet……. 😯
