Re: Bosch Exxcel softener
Just a quick apology fopr posting a dishwasher question in Washing Machines. The mouse must have slipped. Sorry
Re: Bosch Exxcel puzzle
Close. There is no spray arm on the roof of the chamber; the upper arm is under the top basket. That’s why I didn’t look closely at the very top to begin with. But when I did, I saw the rectangular bulge leading to a nozzle. The fan thingy clips round the end of that and presumably distributes the water more widely

Wife? What’s that?
Seriously, it’s only me filling and emptying the DW and I don’t remember putting anything with moving parts in it recently
Re: HNWL 7166 control knob
So I’ve fitted a new selector, and as far as I can tell so far, it’s done the job. The machine appears to be running the programme I actually selected.
And now, I’ve had to do it again, only six month or so after the last time.
Helo_75 said it was a comon fault on this model, but every six months seems a bit frequent. Is there a cause I can fix or do I just have to resign myself to spending a tenner twice a year?

But what puzzles me is this. It’s a 22 position selector switch but there are only four or five wires going to it. How does it work? Anyone know?
Re: HNWL 7166 control knob
A related query:
Presumably to fit the new selector switch, I’ll have to take the top off the machine. Now, when I was searching the forum for information, I found that other people have had trouble with clogged condenser tubes on other HNWL washer/driers. Assuming that the 7166 is similar, is it a good idea to have a look and clear the tube out as a precaution while I have it apart?

After I posted the query I decided to experiment. I went into the kitchen and yanked at the knob with mole grips. It came off easily, but turning the shaft directly didn’t solve the problem. So I surmised that it was, in fact, the selector. Glad to hear I may have guessed right.
New selector is on order. (From eSpares. Sorry; didn’t spot it in the site here)
Re: Aquarius FDW60 not starting
If it’s of any interest to the gallery, I seem to have fixed it. The circulation pump’s impeller was stuck. I think I dislodged something fiddling with the shaft trying to separate the impeller from the motor and it now spins. The washer seems to be working again. Which is almost a shame as I was on the verge of giving up and buying a Bosch
