Re: Zanussi ZBF660 Built in oven door seal

Thanks for your help, 5 screws to remove on the front panel, this then pulls off to enable seal removal.

Re: Hotpoint Ulltima WMA74

Hi, looked at machine and found tube to pressure switch split—-will replace.
Blew into pressure switch and only heard 1 click.? The switch has 4 wires to it, and 2 adjustment screws, should there be 2 or more clicks.?
1 click would suggest the machine only has 1 working level….strange.
Please help
Thanks

Re: Hoover AA230 not heating water

I have removed the wires from the element and measured resistance, measures 30 ohms.
I am NOT in the trade. I have a degree in electrical engineering and work as a maintenance technician in a factory manufacturing plastics.
I have always enjoyed messing about with appliances which we use at home untill they die for good !!

Re: Hoover WDM130

I had a similar problem with a Hoover machine.
The leak was on the top of the dispenser where the rubber hoses join the dispenser. It could only be seen by running the machine with the top off, when the machine was filling with water.

IF YOU TRY THIS BE AWARE THAT MANY COMPONENTS WILL BE LIVE AND EASILY TOUCHED. THIS SHOULD ONLY BE ATTEMPTED IF YOU FEEL COMPETENT TO DO THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The leak was stopped with silicone sealant once the area was dry.

Re: Hoover H160l Inter@act 1600 – error 5

It might also be the thermistor, the small device at the bottom rear of the drum with two wires to it, this changes resistance with temperature.
It’s connected to the controll PCB.

Re: Hotpoint DWF 30

There is about an inch of water above the square mesh in the bottom of the machine

Re: Hoover Performa 110 WA110- having a few problems

Run the machine on a hot —90 oC wash once if not twice with no clothes in it — if it still smells run it on a 60oC wash with a dishwasher tablet in it.
Remove the soap dispenser and clean it thoroughly, pay attention to the fabric softener dispenser and the tube running fron it —it’s probably blocked.
Look into the compartment the dispenser was removed from, it’s probably full of gunge!!!!. Clean it out thoroughly–run the machine on a rinse cycle to wash out the gunge which has fallen into the drum—please replace the soap dispenser before running the machine.

Hope this helps. 😆 😆

Re: Electra 1100b wont fill with hot or cold water

The fact that the blowing thru’ the tube to the pressure switch causes the machine to do something must point to a dodgy pressure switch ——
I would still try removing the tube from the switch —leaving the other side of the tube on and blowing thru it to make sure all is clear that end I have even blown water down these tubes on occasions to clear out any soap residue !! Power off to try this please.

Re: Hotpoint New Wave 5 – Stinky.. and flooding.

to freshen the machine, run it on a 60 oC cycle with a dishwasher tablet in it, or try 3 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda on the same wash program

Re: Electra 1100b wont fill with hot or cold water

PLEASE BOUBLE CHECK THAT THE POWER IF OFF BEFORE DOING ANY CHECKS. YOU MAY NEED TO REMOVE THE WIRES FROM THE PRESSURE SWITCH BEFORE DOING THESE CHECKS. IF YOU DO MAKE A NOTE OF WHERE THE WIRES GO OR TAKE PICTURES WITH A DIGITAL CAMERA.

Re: Electra 1100b wont fill with hot or cold water

sounds like a good idea to me. How many wires on the pressure switch, some pressure switches have up to 3 separate switches built into the same unit, can you check that all the contacts in the switch are changing over, ie the normally closed contact breaks and the normally open contact makes ( one contact being the common )

[shadwell36]

I’d go for the pressure chamber as well, it seems the machine “thinks ” it’s full of water and then refuses to fil any more.

Re: Hoover WA110 Noisy when on spin cycle

with the door open and machine empty,hold the drum on the edge nearest the door and try to push it upwards. Is there play in the rotating drum relative to the outer drum?If there is, then the drum bearing is on its way out.This can also cause the machine to do the 3 minute waltz across the kitchen floor !! 😯
