Re: Samsung eco bubble 2.5 years old! Drum bearings
Thanks for the info. Looks like the customer is arguing with me as to why the machine doesn`t spin, with an inverter motor with drum bearing failure it`s not supposed to but he`s not having any of it. And so I`ve told him to go `away`and stop being a total prat; his choice now. Thanks Lawrence for your reply.

Let us know whether the replacement board solves the problem please. There`s not alot let, so a recap:p/swt clicks in and out, no blockage in air trap- you can get the situation where the machine o/fills but doesn`t leak so you wouldn`t know, when the machine pumps out the p/swt air cannot escape from the p/swt so it is still made so the machine won`t spin-unlikely given the machines age usually only happens on old stuff. The motor and wires are ok,the machine does pump out,drum won`t spin with a good sized load, or with no load. Basing it on this your probably right and its the pcboard…………….hopefully!
Re: nordMende washing machine
Well done for sorting out the leak and stopping the flashing light problem. Do not get to disheartened by the comments made about your bearing change. So long as the bearing shaft and bearing seal hub was not chewed up by the original bearing failure, in other words you nipped it in the bud before it got really bad, you MIGHT be ok; I say MIGHT because I have my doubts, without proof, that the original oil seals are just poor quality. Snce you have now replaced the oil seal with a new set of bearings you could be ok for……? Good fun isn`t it? No? Surely not!
Re: LG WM14445FDS (the story so far)
Let us know the out come please. I have very little faith in any of this appliance lark so I can see where your coming from! All the best.
Re: LG WM14445FDS (the story so far)
Hmm a story of disaster, bad luck. With regards to the 2 pumps. 1 is of course the outlet pump and t`other is the recirculating pump. The latter was never a good idea. What MIGHT have happened is that the hose that goes to the door seals jet spray nozzle gets blocked up with lint this causes the circulating pump to pump against a blockage and then that pump short cicuits due to o/heating and blows the pcboard. Same dire set of affairs happens to Elux/Zannusi and AEG contraptions too. Have a real good look at the pump windings and compare the circ pump to the o/let pump- you might beable to see duff winding though the pumps both have, usually and from memory, a cover that might be a challenge to remove without breaking them.
Re: nordMende washing machine
First thanks for the info on the bearings, FAG bearings are an ok make I use them myself on occasion and yet again another new one to add to the list of bearing and seal sizes. It has been 7 days since you replied, did you give up on it or was it a dodgy wire causing your new flashing light fault, it probably isn`t anything too bad? Let us know please.
Some of these firms do not give a flying banana. Appalling attitude and gives the trade a really bad name, which is bad enough already, though based on some of the other similar importers they are not alone. I looked up the make under washing machines and it seems that there are only 6 parts ever listed, typically near useless!!! Your right about the make, sums them up!Re: NorDmende not spinning
Sorry but that`s a new type of p/swt to me. I do not know. But taking a guess, yet again, I`d say that it looks like a variant of the blue and black p/swt I was on about, just a differing version on the same theme by the fact there are 3 wires all the same colour. And yes you could be right about the pcboard joints but that, based on most other stuff, is not that common. What it could be is an iffy pcb or even a motor wire, how many motor wires have you got in the motor block? If only six I`d doubt it is going to be the motor since it does tumble and sort of spins, if 7 wires, discounting any earth, that is where you want to have a good look before checking the pcb.
Re: Indesit WIB111 dead, no power?
Having a guess it`s the main pcboard is zapped. Have a look. I had one do a similar thing on a similar model and that was the pcboard taken out by a short circuited door interlock swt even though on occasion the door actually did lock (!)- you might see and smell burning around the door swt tags.If the same you`ll see the fried pcb components too. If so it renders the appliance et mort i.e. another one for the recycler!
Re: Hoover HNF3157 Unresponsive but not totally dead
A long shot but I`d check the motor carbon brushes before doing anything else- they`re supposed to be 3/8th of an inch up to about 2″ long.
Re: nordMende washing machine
Hi looks like a another Turkish Vestel based machine based on the buttons and the door handle shape? First off I`ve never worked on a Nordmende but I have on similar looking Vestel stuff and I`m fairly sure that is what you have re-badged but I could be totally wrong i.e. I`m guessing/shot in the dark. Tips are very briefly: power off,lid off, fascia panel off, front panel removed. If you have the usual plastic tank held together with 8mm screws the less hassle way at the end of the day is to remove the whole tank out of the chassis taking note of where various wires go. Reason is because there`s no back panel to remove, unless you`ve got something different, and so removing the drum pulley is difficult and knocking in the new bearing almost impossible. Avoid if you can from removing the front concrete weight because the plastic lugs are fairly brittle and they can snap off! Usually with Vestel stuff only the rear tank half is supplied with bearings and oil seal pre fitted..expensive to buy and therefore pointless based on cost and that`s if you can get it, all I can say is the common Vestel oil seal size is 35x62x10 bearing 6206 front bearing and 6205 rear whether yours is I wouldn`t know as can`t see any info which is scant on Vestel stuff at the best of times. tip: avoid damaging the tank seal and if you can`t get a new one clean the area without removing the seal and then run a bead of s/sealant around the circumference. Of course things may have changed and your tank may well be sealed so all this speel is useless to you. Sorry for being vague but like I said I`ve never worked on a Nordmende to date. Boluck. Seems that Nordmende stuff have a 3 year warranty if you registered on purchase, 2 years if you didn`t.
Re: NorDmende not spinning
Never worked on one,no nothing about them at all, but I`ve heard of the name,so here goes. Looks like a Vestel Turkish made machine or perhaps a Chinese one from their website. Possible it could be the pressure contacts switch stuck rather than the tube blocked up- I had one do this on a Tesco homebrand Vestel made machine for no apparent reason. The 300 rpm might be true, but it might really be less i.e. distrubtion speed and then fail to pick up on spin or simply do nothing. Or another way to look at it given the info that nothing is wrong at all but the machine is sensing that particular load is out of balance and so never spins ……impossible to say really but I had a stab at it. A pure guess: blow into the pressure switch and see if it clicks and then declicks if it`s a brick coloured round switch you`ll definitely hear it but if it`s a black and blue switch with 3/4 fine wires leading to it don`t because you`ll upset it! If you have the round brick coloured pressure switch and it is faulty usually the machine fills up with water and doesn`t stop!- you`ll get a flood- so be careful; it would prove a point.BOLuck
Re: pro action a105q
POSSIBLY the door lock. You`ll have a problem getting this part under the Pro-Action label but physically have a look a Partmaster site but under Bush. You might also get the same part but cheaper under the Curry`s Essential label- you just have to look.
Re: Panasonic NA-168VG3 U11 error code.
So you have water in the drum, the filter`s clear and you obviously didn`t get flooded when you unscrewed the filter to have a look, therefore the sump hose- the black rubber hose that goes from the bottom of the tank to the pump unit- is presumably blocked up. From memory, which is failing!, the sump hose has two connections to the base of the tank, other than to the actual pump, so your best bet is to turn of the power, remove the back, tilt the machine backwards and scoop out as much h2o via the door then close the door, tilt the machine forwards against a wall and then with a bowl under the area remove the sump hose completely working from the rear of the machine and check for blockages AND the 2 tank nozzle areas too and the entrance area into the actual pump – sounds like something disintergrated in the wash to me because I`ve been to two Panasonics where this has happened but I can`t remember their actual model numbers! Make sure you reassemble carefully and pay particular attention to which pipe clip goes where, one might be a fraction smaller than t`other? B of Luck.
