Re: electrolux dishwasher esl6115
Decided to go for the board so I replaced the pcb and now the machine works-strange fault I grant you. Be interesting to see if this is a lucky fluke but I have now tested the machine twice in a row so presumed repaired.
Re: More shattering news!
Just a theory. It is possible that glass has under gone, during the manufacturing process, devitrification ( devit glass). This is were the normal molecular make up of glass which is a random structured lattice has become in part crystalline this is optically different to normal glass and mechanically different too! What might happen is the `fault`junctions between the two materials create glass mechanical strain and stress and it is possible (?) that the high vibration frequency on spin or after a spin may well cause the glass to pop. Sometimes this is analogous to ruby (crystalline as in gemstones) glass fracture filled material ( a lot of rubies are glass filled to improve their looks, in fact most are unless they cost a fortune)when in ultrasonic cleaning machines the two do sometimes shear apart or attempt to- I used to be a forensic gemmologist but that`s another story! Devit forms usually when the glass temperature is kept too high for too long and the glass is not cooled quickly enough so the glass mixture has time to cool to try to have a regular lattice i.e. more crystalline than amphorous glass, or too high a lime content, or dust/foreign material settling into the glass- a dirty casting mould in other words. Hope this helps.
Re: V-ZUG
Thanks as I suspected from the Swiss. Presume stainless steel tank, 4 suspension legs,……decent stuff. Thanks people.
Re: neff built in d/w s4457nogb/17
Thanks Jem for your info, yes I had seen it right after I posted the question-silly me!
Re: ignis dishwasher model ADL349/A/1
Update: it was the impellor fill counter water meter unit that caused the fault-replaced it and now ok.
Re: w/pool ADG644 ix
Thanks to everyone for your comments. I wait to see the out come if she gets back to me. Hopefully she won`t!
Re: ignis dishwasher model ADL349/A/1
thanks colin- customer away because of Queens diamond jubilee, will get back to you if she is interested in actually bothering to get m/ch repaired as she might buy new appliance instead-that`s the impression she has given me. Most kind suggestion and helpful.
Re: bendix super compact model 71968
I sussed it! And this is how it`s done= to replace rotted membrane p/swt rubber.Disasemble the the two halves of the metal p/swt casing by very carefully prizing the sealing flange open,then seperate both halves having marked the alignment of both halves ready for when reassembled. You then get a compass and a peice of paper card,measure the inside diameter of the body of the p/swt chamber,find half then using the compass draw a cirle on the card. Then draw another inner circle so that you have ring of about 6mm but no more wider,cut out the middle bit of the card with a stanley knife then using a rubber latex glove-surgical type- cut this glove so you have a sheet but this will be a bit crinkled so put in near boiling water and this makes it more flat,like a sheet. Glue the latex sheet to the paper card ring and very slightly stretch it-allow to dry. Then cut off all excess sheet from around the outside of the paper card neatly and run a bead of glue around it`s paper card face.Fit into the body of the p/swt,refit the mesh trigger on top of the latex membrane, glue the other card face and then very carefully refit the metal other half of the p/swt casing to the alignment mark you made so everything is aligned,this is very important as there is no going backwards if you mess this up. Then using a good pair of small jewellery type pliers re bend over the metal flange, then to make sure to run a bead of glue around the circumference of where you`ve just recrimped the flange .Allow the glue to set. gently reassemble the micro swt`s ontop . Blow into the your newly assembled p/swt and it will now click the micro swith without any air loss and therefore it will now turn the valve off when it is filling up with water.Glue used is rubber/metal glue that we use i.e. Bostik.
Hope this helps anybody else in the same position with an obsolete part. This as you all know is a triumph of revolutionary thinking!!Re: Indesit dishwasher puzzle???????????
Hi, thanks for your replies. I leant it on it’s left at about a 45 degree angle. I also checked pressure pipe hose by blowing though it and it was clear. I suspect flow meter which I have ordered.
Mike.Re: Millions not dying due to low temperature washes.
Interesting subject having come out of hospital 7 years ago after spending a painful two weeks due to a cut I got when doing a bearing change to some machine; must of picked-up something horrible as lower part of right arm swelled up something terrible. Ever since then I have been weary to say the least.
Actually what would`ve been a good idea is to have a circualing pump-but not like the laughable Electrolux efforts-with a powerful short wave u v light which would kill the germs. I haven`t really looked into this subject to deeply but I might now. Things that come to mind is the affect on bacteria and virus colony growth, affects on detergent,change if any /affects on ionic transfer between h2o and limescale inhibitor if any affect?.
Seem to remember a machine called a Lady K- possibly a Kenmore- that used uv light to kill bacteria (though without a special pump)……………………in 1947!!!!
