Re: Panasonic M/wave NEC1275
Hi Swerv: Did you replace the fuse with a normal quick blow fuse or an Anti-surge fuse? have had this sort of thing before when an Engineer accidentally replaced an Anti-surge with a quick blow. After a few days of turning on/off the fuse will just pop.
Re: Hotpoint CTD00p Tumbl Dryer
Hi: From your description I would say that your drive motor is stopping for some reason & what you can hear is the outlet pump running. When you replaced the Capacitor did you use an identical like for like replacement?. As for replacing the thermostats when you replace the cap, I have’nt heard that 1 before.
Please remember: Power off & plug out before opening the machine up.
Re: Prima LPR600/1 Error code 6
Hi: Put your meter on the 20k range & short the probes together this will show you what you should see when you check a good fuse or something like that i.e a closed circuit & the 1 shows an open circuit. If you placed the meter across the component & it showed 1 on the display then it is showing that the valve coil is open circuit & needs replacing.

Hi: If you follow the wires from the 3 burnt pins you should find what’s caused the burning on the other end. Are any of the components on the other side looking burnt?
Re: Prima LPR600/1 Error code 6
Hi: First things first, If you have a Multimeter remove the connecting wires from the inlet valve & check the continuity of the valve coil. Don’t worry too much about the actual resistance of the coil for the moment, you just need to know if it’s got continuity. If you have a manual range Multimeter you will need to set it on the 20 Kilohms range.

When you start a cleaning cycle, can you hear the water being taken into the machine? or is water going into the cavity?

Re: Supply Point Earth Loop Impedance Testing
If you want a good book on Electrical systems including the EFLI values for different systems & how to test, take a look at The Electricians Guide to BS7671 & Part P by John Whitfield. It explains things in plain English & is an invaluable reference to keep in the van.
The book is available from most Electrical Wholesalers & well worth the money.Re: Hoover HW5513 not heating – heater okay
I agree with Mal,70 Meg at 500v is not going to cause you problems.
Have you checked for bad connections or as Mal said PCB bad connections?Re: 33yrs and still turning!
Ah, that was when things were actually built not just thrown together. Could’nt you sell them a couple of cans of Rust cure & Appliance White? Love to see a modern Hotpoint last 3 years, never mins 33 🙂
