at £127 it’s hard to know it it’s worth it
also may have damaged the heater as it failed
no Bosch is not what it was, closest to you machine is the WAN range

Yeah, that’s the dilemma, fit the drum and the programmer packs up in 3 months…..
The heater looks ok but I’ll put a meter across it tomorrow to be sure.
Re: Bosch KGH39V03 Is extedning the warranty worth it?
Got a right result!!!!!!!!!
John Lewis were advertising that I could get an extra two years free. This was the Bosch anniversary which ended 31st December 2008.
I ordered it and then spoke to JL who gave me the 5 year extended warranty free.
Typical JL, don’t mess you around.
Re: Ice build up in fridge part Frigidaire Fridge fridge/fre
My thinking was the main bulk of the ice is being formed by the condensation running down the back of the fridge and forming at the cold spot where the insulation is damaged.
I’m not worried too much about the ice ball. It’s more that the ice ball forms and the water running down the back cannot reach the drain because the ice ball diverts it away before it get to the drain.
I see your point but the main thing I am trying to stop is the water under the salad crisper, not the ice ball itself.
Do you think this would stop the water in the bottom of the fridge.
I’m not gonna do the undulation work. I’d dump it rather than have all that hassle.
Re: Ice build up in fridge part Frigidaire Fridge fridge/fre
OK.
Being a maintenance engineer, I’m not gonna give up that easy 8)
The water is running down the back and freezing at that point, causing the rest of the water to run to the bottom.
Therefore, if I siliconed a piece of white perspex above the existing channel leading into the drain hole, 99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the water will run down my new drain channel and away.
I’ve put the red line where I’ll put the new channel.
I know it’s a bit of a bodge but it still keeps the food fresh and the beer cold.
I’ll post back the results.
Re: How do I remove the heating element for my Indesit 1079W
Thanks Penguin.
I decided not to risk it as the element was/is working. I just gently brushed with a wire brush.
The reason for me stripping it was to clean the condenser as it is 12 1/2 years old and the clothes were coming out after 1.5 hours drying, wetter than they were after the spin.
I got the machine all back together and working as it was before. 8)
I defeated the door interlock this evening and I think I’ve found the reason for the wet clothes.
When the condenser is being flushed with water during washing, the drum starts to get water in the bottom of it (therefore wetting the clothes) before the pump cuts in and pumps the water out.
This happens every time the dryer stops turning. It seems the water level is allowed to go too high before the pump kicks in.
[I’m assuming here] The pressure switch (IE water level switch) has one level for half load wash/full load wash and then another level for drying water.
Do you think the pressure switch could be at fault? Can I clean this or does it need replacing?
Many thanks for your help.
