Re: Beko wm 8127w not finishing cycles
Leanne: People come to us for advice whether they have money or not & we willingly give them that advice for Free. I appreciate that in the past you may have had a problem with an Engineer, but please do not Tar us all with the same brush. The Majority of Appliance Engineers are Honest hard working Men & Women just trying to earn a living. Unfortunately there are 1 or 2 Conmen still around in this Trade as with any other, that was why I suggested a look at the repairs@ feature.
If you come back to us later when your Husband is there, I will do my best to explain to him how to test the different items.
AndyRe: Beko wm 8127w not finishing cycles
After re-reading your posts regarding your machine, i have to agree with Washman. You don’t like Washing machine engineers because in your experience we all apparently charge ridiculous fees & then overcharge to fit the parts that we say the machine needs, yet these are the same engineers yuo come to for FREE ADVICE when something goes wrong.
Re: Smeg WMI16AAA – failed with error code E11
Hi: The Motor control Triac is a small component mounted on the controller & is used to switch your motor On / Off, E11 as you rightly said shows that the Triac is faulty. It is possible that this fault is due to a bad connection on the PCB but more likely that the part is failing under load & needs replacing, if this is the case then board replacement is the only option as I don’t know anyone who repairs these boards. If you know a good Electronics Engineer then they may be able to replace the Triac for you rather than replacing the rather expensive PCB.
Re: hotpoint wd640 no water going to dryer
Hi Les: No need to appologise mate, we all do the same thing when we’re busy.
AndyRe: hotpoint wd640 no water going to dryer
Unless you have a connector or Harness fault then as you said it sounds like a PCB fault, have you checked for Dry joints?.
You did’nt explain that you only had a Live feed in your 1st post, that’s why we said to replace the valve.Re: hotpoint wd640 no water going to dryer
Hi Les: Please explain, 240v to valve but have Live. Do you mean you have just a live supply but no switched Neutral?
Re: Beko wm 8127w not finishing cycles
O.K some of your fault options are: Faulty motor / Brushes, Faulty Heater, Faulty Sensor, Bad connections, Faulty control PCB, could also be a slow pump not draining fast enough. Does the machine take in any water at the start of a cycle? have had a number of Beko machines lately with faulty inlet valves.
PLEASE REMEMBER POWER OFF & PLUG OUT, Before opening the machine.
A :zap: can seriously shorten your life.Re: hotpoint wd640 no water going to dryer
Going on what you said so far, have to agree with Neil. Replace the valve.
Re: Bosch SGS4302 – not heating up and stuck on 1 minute
Hi: Personally i would leave well alone while it’s still working, sometimes on older machines just re-seating the connectors as you did can cure an Intermittent fault. I would’nt worry too much about it unless it goes again & then you can come back to us with the symptoms.
Re: Beko wm 8127w not finishing cycles
Hi Leanne: Unfortunately it could be 1 of several things causing your problems & it would be best to call a good local engineer to look at it for you. Make sure that whatever engineer you call is familiar with Beko machines, you could try the UKWG repairs@ feature to see if we list an Engineer local to you.
Re: whirlpool dryer awz 3303 not heating up
Hi: If you are using a meter on the Audible continuity range that it may well show as open circuit on a good element, you need to use the resistance ranges. If it’s a manual range meter then you need to put it on at least the 200ohm range, if your testing the heater on the resistance range & it still shows open then as you say you’ve found your problem.
Re: Whirlpool AWZ2303 Not heating up
No problem mate, were here to help. Let me know what you find & we can go from there.
AndyRe: Whirlpool AWZ2303 Not heating up
Hi Kev: No your not being thick at all. The thermostats / cutouts are in series with 1 of the supply wires to the element, What you need to do is disconnect the wires from the element itself. Once you’ve done this, use your multimeter on the resistance range & check the element for continuity. The actual element resistance is not important for now just that you have continuity.
PLEASE REMEMBER: POWER OFF & PLUG OUT FIRST, Getting :zap: can seriously shorten your life.
Re: Indesit Washing Machine explodes!!!
Typical classic Hotpoint mod then, just pays lip service to the words safety modification.
