Re: Does anyone use this loop tester info required
The main reason i wanted a new loop tester was because i had done the ck1 cooker course and wanted to do away with my avo LT5 loop tester (which caused rcds to trip) and my martindale plug in tester for an all in one tester , as i would be using the separate test leads for loop testing hard wired appliances mainly cookers as mentioned in one of my posts.
Now here is where i agree and disagree with Lee8 ..I agree that when you buy test equipment you should be competent enough to be able to use the said equipment and understand the included instructions properly.
But here is where i disagree with Lee8 .I was fortunate to have been trained on using test equipment from the courses i attended.But it seems some people on here have not had that specific training using a loop tester with the separate test leads for hard wired appliances and only have the plug in type loop tester without the separate leads ,but are working on appliances and are doing there best to be safe and also leave the appliance safe.
The loop tester i bought recently does include the instructions on how to use it and is straight forward to use after i had read it.
When i first made my post i did not see an instruction manual on the website i first linked in my opening post so was not sure if it was the right tester i was after.I did a further search and found a site which allowed me to read the instruction manual on-line before i purchased it.I then realised it was similar to how i used my LT5 apart from it having extra tests built in, so i knew it would be ok for me and easy enough to use .
So having a “how to loop test correctly write up” similar to what Martin did with his “use of the clamp meter” and “insulation test” pdf would help some who were not trained with these specific testers. if they do buy one then they will have an idea how to use it correctly because not all test equipment manuals are straight forward if you don’t understand how to do it correctly in the first place .If everyone had the right training then there would be no need for a “how to” but this is not the case so any help is a good thing don’t you agree ??
Re: Whirlpool FCSM6 showing F03 > Cut off 2 resistors it’s f
tijmenteloo wrote:Hi there,
My oven was displaying F03 on the display and doesn’t do anything. On another forum I read about cut of two resistors. depending on the servicenumber, in my case it was 0 and 2.
After that all works fine again !Is there anybody who knows what I did. Because I tested everything and the measurement of the temperature is alright.
But I don’t know what I exactly removed and is this safe to use :pI think that this is because the board is software configured and by cutting the resistors it has hardware configured the board as yours was probably scrambled that is what i have read if that makes sense.Re: Beko DRCS68W
I had a similar problem that dryer kept cutting out after about 30sec.. i cleaned up pump etc and reseated float switch above the polystyrene float and made sure it was operating freely ..Switched back on and running perfectly.

I was using the Neff web site though, not the Bosch one.Cannot figure out why sometimes it won’t pull up the machine even though enr is right 😕

It is a valid ENR, found it on BSH spares site and yes it does have an impellor jug, part number 424099.
DonJust a quick question regarding the enr that Jim provided.I put it in on the bosch site but it came up no appliances found..this has happened a few times for me anyone any ideas why ??sorry for interrupting this thread but thought it better than starting a new one 🙂

Daft question i know but did they try it with wet towels etc for the sensor to pick up ?Re: More shattering news!
Good article Ken.I think the same regarding overloading the drums.There are quite a few users who mistreat there appliances with the couldn’t careless attitudes ! but then make a song and dance about it when some thing goes wrong .

Hi DDDave,
As you say 11 flashes would be E11 but does not show the E on some of the machines.
Tap closed or water pressure insufficient; Drain hose
incorrectly positioned; Water fill solenoid faulty; Leaks
from pressure switch hydraulic circuit; Pressure switch
faulty; Wiring faulty; Circuit board faulty.shaun ps If you need service manual give me your email.
Re: Does anyone use this loop tester info required
I also think it’s a shame as it seems some will benefit from knowing how to use a loop tester correctly and i was surprised at how many were not doing an insulation test or even have one !! and the PDF you created Martin was excellent .I guess i am fortunate to attend courses that showed me how to use an insulation tester ,loop tester and multimeter correctly (i already had knowledge how to use a multimeter as i used to and still do play about with electronics now and again) .I have picked up some very good tips on this forum and i even learned the trick using the clamp meter using an extension lead with the core wires showing from that very PDF you created Martin.(some think i was not shown on any of the courses i went on 😉 ).Hope you do change your mind as there are lots of folks on here that would use the tips you have used from all of your experience’s over the years.

Martin wrote:I find it incredible that in this thread we have the OP asking for assistance as he felt the obvious need for loop tester info. And on the other hand others that choose to tell use that loop testing is not obligatory. Yes, we get your point guys but leave it out. 99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of field service engineers in this game have’nt even heard of Loop Testers or Megger for that matter never mind have the foresight to use them on a daily basis. 😐
I did a downloadable PDF file on how to use a Megger, was gonna follow up and expand on how to use a Loop Tester and am part way to completing it…but sod it…why should I?
It’ll end up in the public domain anyway. :rolls:I agree here with Martin .I started this thread to see if this loop tester was any good as i have an avo Megger LT 5 Digital Loop Tester but it causes the RCD to trip when loop testing (i also have the plug in martindale tester) but wanted an all in one to use on hardwired appliances as well as just sockets when performing a loop test . .Now not sure why it ended up in a debate about whether or not we have to do this or if spending x amount is a waste of money :rolls: ! All i can say is after using my new loop tester it does what i wanted (similar to the avo but no tripping and more tests in just one instrument )and is easy enough to use so i am happy with it.

As for how on a built in, I to the resistance test from the nearest socket to the machine then perform loop test from that socket. That way you have a complete earth path.……..also…….
Ovens and hobs etc that are wired to a cooker box with switched outlet – always test from that point ( using the loop testers flying earth lead to ground on the appliance)
Oven and hobs etc hard wired to a switched socket with no outlet – use loop testers (L & N) flying leads direct to the terminal block of the appliance (earth lead to ground on the appliance) 🙂
This is the way i loop test as well on hard wired appliances (as Martin says above).Needed a new tester so ended up with the one i mentioned .Pretty clear to understand ,tests loop impedance, correct mains voltage (shows if to low or to high ), correct wiring, correct polarity .Seems to do as it says on the tin so to speak .I understand where Lee8 is coming from but it is always best to make sure that the appliance you are working on is safe before and after you have looked at any appliance (not saying that Lee8 is suggesting we should not do this just saying i personally feel if we are competent enough to work on an appliance then we should cover all our bases so hopefully nothing does go wrong ).
Re: Beko WM510W
here is one http://www.jellydeal.co.uk/compare-prices-beko-wm510w-white-washing-machine.htm but it could be as washtronics said and could be missing a zero or could be a wma510w as you said ,just going on the above link that shows it as wm510w 😉

Has any one heard of above machine, customer contacted me today and said they have got this appliance, cant find it any where, don’t know if she is missing out on the WMA510W or if there is a machine like that.

Hi if you google it
Beko WM510W,it comes up showing one and is one of the basic machines they do.
ShaunRe: Does anyone use this loop tester info required
Oh dear i was only asking if it were any good lol..Bought one any way and for your info LEE8 i only paid £51 for it so i am happy with that .And it does not cause any tripping and takes no time at all to check sockets and hard wired appliances ..
Guess I’ll carry on doing all my safety checks whether i need to or not.
