Re: Early Hotpoint 8596 Mistral F/F. Evap fan wont run
Called back today to repair W/M and also to fit the thermistors to F/F. To my surprise she had bought a new F/F, much to my dismay. Thanks anyway Simon46
Re: whirlpool 3RLSQ8033 W/M brake sticks
Thanks for that EFS. That means the ‘non neutral drain’ gearbox should spin and pump straight away. If my customer rings again I’ll check which gearbox it is.
p.s BTW?
Re: whirlpool 3RLSQ8033 W/M brake sticks
Thanks robwash for your reply. The customer hasn’t rang for 3 days so maybe it’s OK.
Most of these machines I have seen start to pump after rinsing with no spin action, untill the pause when the brake seems to dissengage and away it spins.
Re: footwear
Usually the sort of folk who wear trainers are the same as those who wear denim jeans. Both are bad for image. I always wear clean shoes and smart working trousers, to enhance a professional appearence.
Re: Creda 37764 Condenser Dryer. No Heat
Thanks to bubs and slate. It was the front stat.
Job done.Although I removed the front panel before I realised that the stat could be changed from the door opening. Nothing beats learning the hard way.
Re: Is the end of our world nigh..?
I was in Boots today, and they were selling Philishave rechargeable razors . One was priced at £199.99 another at £249.99. So why does something as large as a washing machine cost the same ( or less ) ?
Selling cheap white goods just undervalues the whole trade.

Determining the ventilation requirements for a boiler, water heater or fire is just a tad more complex and I for one have neither the time nor the experience to correctly assess this.
K.That is the whole point. if you want to work on a gas appliance ( be it a cooker or dryer or dual fuel cooker ) then you should have the knowledge in all aspects of gas safety.

For that matter why should a heating maintenance engineer know anything about a cooker?
K.He shouldn’t
But he should be aware of any safety implications the cooker may have on his boiler repair (and vice versa) when for example calculating ventilation requirements.

jeremy wrote:yes u can fit a door seal etc etc but what say if the flame picture from the burner is incorrect, are you able to identify it, are u able to correctly repair it are you able to serve a notice on the appliance if its unsafe etc etc, basically you have to treat the applaince as a whole and if ure not corgi registered and something goes wrong or is incorrect you were the last person to touch it! is it worth the risk?
What you say jeremy is spot on. I am Corgi reg to repair gas dryers, and on a recent inspection from the Corgi inspecter, he mentioned the gas boiler in the same room as the dryer. Therefore my knowlege of gas safety has to include other gas appliances even though I only repair dryers.
To say ‘I only changed the lamp m’lud’ is just a cop out.
Re: Whirlpool Top Loader not spinning
Have a look at this earlier thread, and read it to the end
Re: The Dishwasher Thread……..
fasetester wrote:hi guys what is the differience between a commercial glasswasher and a dishwasher. are the same to work on do the block up the same heaters go open circuit short out ect thanks fasetester 🙂
Glasswashers are usually smaller than dishwahers, to fit under a bar, and they have round baskets which spin on a turntable. Dishwashers usually have a square plate rack. Apart from that they both have motors, pumps, and timers etc
Re: Supply Point Earth Loop Impedance Testing
Doing an earth loop impedance test is always good practise, however unless you understand the reading, and have an electrical qualfication i.e City & Guilds 236/238 or equivalent then the test is meaningless.
Re: Maytag LSE7806
eastlmark wrote:so on the one I have the button is released when the motor is still. It does give a loud click once the motor is runnign but the switch state doesnt alter. Does that mean a new motor then?
If the switch state doesnt alter after you hear the click, it must be the lever which operates the switch either stuck or broken. With the button out it is in run mode, so capacitor is out of circuit. It sounds as if a new motor is what you need. Hope this helps.

When the motor is still the centrefugal switch button should be pressed in. When motor runs the switch is released. If the switch is faulty it is available as a spare part.
Re: Maytag LSE7806
The capacitor is usually in series with the start winding and switches off when the centrifugal switch ( or start switch ) clicks off. If the motor buzzes in both directions (i.e wash and spin) it must be either a faulty capacitor or motor. if it buzzes in one direction then it’s usually a faulty timer.
