Re: Hotpoint WMA64 how to get into diagnostic programme
Thanks Jim, i run the diagnostics programme on this & low & behold it worked in the test programme & in every programme used after, did this just need reprogrammed to go again? I hate it when i don’t know whats caused the problem! Oh just another thing this machine is the variant with the module & power board all in one.
Re: Tricity Bendix AW1053W motor went “pop”
Just to reiterate, the machine obviously jumped during spin for customer as it had jumped outta one of the top springs, i tried it on spin looking at motor with back off & it flashed at motor armature. I checked brushes & tacho, tacho was intact (i’ve had problems with them coming off armature before), cleaned armature & carbon dust of frame, cables brush holders etc, plugged in motor & tried again. No go, machine pumps ok & does everything but no motor action. Pity really as its in an old ladies house & i would have rather fixed it if at all possible, but alas i advised her that it needed motor & timer so uneconomical to repair 😥
Re: Tricity Bendix AW1053W motor went “pop”
Thanks Martin, do they short over the carbon dust or something, i checked price of motor £75 & Timer £85 + v.a.t & delivery + labour makes it uneconomical.
Re: Miele W863 “rinse light flashing”
HF, please post details, model number would be a great advantage, i’ve sent you a PM.
Re: Miele W863 “rinse light flashing”
Sent you a PM, be careful when checking drive electronics as board holds up to 400v for a time even after its disconnected. There is a temperature limiter built in to the motor. Desired motor winding at room temperature should be 7 ohms. Check motor tacho, turn motor by hand & you should generate 1 – 3 volts AC. Check tacho against motor frame there should be no continuity, check also between motor plug & frame, also no continuity. Most problems i have are brushes, clean armature & make sure brushes are touching ok, there is a holding device on these as in hotpoint brushes which may prevent them from moving in onto armature. The motor brush holder can all be removed from front of machine without taking complete motor off. Best of luck.
Re: Hotpoint WMA30 prewash flashes at end
Cheers Ian, i haven’t visited machine yet, but will check those things when i see it.
Thanks
As we’re all part of one big happy family, could we not use the same account & access password?
My mate works for a white-goods company and he allows me full acess to their techinical info ( through his code ), now he’s a MATE, eh? But i must add i have’nt read the smallprint or anything in regard to this.Re: W/Pool/Ikea/Smeg DWF416
Smeg Tech guys told me motor start caps & soap dispenser coils throw up strange faults on these machines, or cable connections to said parts.
Re: Smeg DWI 710 (fault code anyone)
Finally got to speak to someone at Smeg (in technical), quess what, its a falt that doesn’t exist. Likely to be either a bad soap dispenser solenoid or motor start capacitor.
They throw up faults like this! So back i go to check those things…Re: Smeg DWI 710 (fault code anyone)
Says in the “Known Error ” section, look for non return flap & throw it away, now i realise everything on here is not gospel but i did exactly as it says on the tin.
Re: Bosch Dw SRS 56A02GB/B
Found some of these to have blockage & had to take off pump, i find it easier to do this by laying machine on its side or upside down, the string used to tie roasts of meat i find in dishwasher motors frequently, filter obviously hasn’t been in correctly if it gets through. Had these Bosch leak from the two “O” rings above alternating wash valve. Find these to be a bad system, same problems with Smeg & Hotpoint clone. Miele have a great system where all is integrated in circulation pump head.
Re: SCHULTHESS Spirit 6155 no action
Got it sorted out handy enough. Problem was plug had come dislodged from door interlock, small ty-wrap sorted it out, nice machines, first time i worked on one, seem OK stuff.
Re: SCHULTHESS Spirit 6155 no action
Rang lady to get more details & she says that normally when she pressed start button “wash” indicator came on, this not happenin now & also when she tries to open door by pressing door release button it won’t release she has to operate mechanical release from filter door. I’m going there today & suspect faulty door interlock, never seen of these before so kinda wary.
