Re: cda dishwasher drianing problem
Sometimes Askoll pumps can appear to be rotating but are actually just vibrating. That wouldn’t give you an error message though, until it had timed out on draining. I’d change it and see what happens.

If it’s the same as the Amana ice-maker, which I suspect it is, then yes.
Re: Hotpoint Fridge-freezer RF64
Thanks for the information on the thermostats Bruce. I should have said; it’s on r134a, so the back presure is rather low. I checked it while the compressor was running, when I arrived. I don’t think it’s an ambient temp. problem, even though the appliance is in the cellar, as they’ve had the problem for three months.
Re: Miele Dishwasher G686SC
If you re-start the programme after it’s gone into fault mode, exactly the same thing happens; it pumps out, re-fills , runs for two or three minutes and locks out again. So it doesn’t sound like water in the base, as I assume it wouldn’t re-fill in that situation. The customer has had Miele or a Miele agent round who has diagnosed it elecronically as a pcb fault but I’m not totally convinced. He didn’t open it up to test or inspect any internal components.
Re: Plumbing problem or co-incidence?
Hi Catherine,
It sounds like a co-incidence that both machines have failed at the same time. If the washing machine is filling you know you have a water supply to the dishwasher as they are fed from the same tap. Unless the fill hose to the dishwasher is kinked; have you pulled it out to check? Diagnosing a no-fill fault on a dishwasher past this point isn’t a do-it-yourself job.
It does sound as if the pump has failed on the washing machine in view of the fact that you have checked the hoses for blockages, but have you checked that nothing’s jamming the pump impeller?

Re: unworked returned appliances
Well, I don’t know, but I assume we can safely say that 70{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of them won’t be runners and 30{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of them won’t have thermostat faults. :rolls:

Is it within staggering distance :beer:Steve
Unfortunately not; it’s about three miles from the hotel, and costs £30 per night.
It’s called Vale Farm, at Higham-on-the-Hill, CV13 6ES

And spend all day running around inside a box? When do you get any work done?

You mean there’s still technical help available in there somewhere? Can we have a phone no. please?
Re: SERVIS WASHING MACHINE
you could eliminate the pressure switch as a suspect by disconnecting the pressure hose and trying it again on fill.

Re: Whirlpool T/L 3RLBR8543JQ0 spinning slow
Jim,
Model no. : Open the lid, get your head down level with it and look at the casing under the bottom edge of the lid. You’ll find the rating plate there, under a build-up of soap powder.
If it’s not washing or spinning the most likely cause is the flexible drive coupling. It’s easy to change. Unscrew the two control console fixing screws [ 1 either side, at front or back depending on model], lift the console up and flip it over backwards out of the way. Unplug the supply to the lid switch where it goes into the casing , flip off the two brass clips holding the casing onto the machine with bent-nosed pliers and the casing pulls off. Lift it over the water outlet spout carefully and watch the back panel which will drop backwards and is only held by the pressure tube.
Unplug the supply to the motor and capacitor. There are two black springclips holding the motor onto the gearbox. Unscrew these fromthe motor carefully so as not to drop the screws into the motor [ they’re not magnetic] and flip them off. The motor and pump then can be pulled away from the gearbox and the three parts of the drive can then be removed. A white plastic 3-armed drive on the motor and the gearbox and a rubber resilient connector between them. You’ll probably find that one or more of the white plastic arms has broken off. You usually have to tap the new ones on gently with a hammer.
