Re: Thomson Local Beware!!
It’s just another Thompson Local rip off, check your bank / credit card statements you should be able to find out if you paid for it.
Re: Hotpoint FDW70G – new fault – RCD Trips when door is clo
Hi: Have you gone back over what you have done to make sure you fitted the Element properly, have no wires trapped, have no leak of water onto the lement terminals? if all that checks out ok then as Martin said it’s time for the man with an Insulation tester.
Please remember: Power off & PLUG OUT first.
Electrocution can seriously spoil an otherwise perfect day 🙂Re: HNF71683D-80
Hi Johnny: Not trying to teach my Granny to suck eggs, but have you cleaned the connections on the Module? had 1 doing the same a while back. Cleaned the connectors & away it went.
Re: Indesit C239NF problem
Hi: It could be a number of things, it would probably be best to call a local engineer to check it for you.
You could try the UKWG repairs@ feature to find an engineer near you.Re: Hotpoint Freezer RZA34 – Need to know torx size please?
Don’t think there’s a standard size on any appliance, they vary. If you go to your local Halfords, Maplin or Machine Mart you can buy a set of T10-T40 bits with handle for less than £10.00 & you will have all the sizes you need.

Naughty Johnny, take 100 lines: I must not make mistakes 😛 🙂
Re: Indesit Washing Machine explodes!!!
Yes mate I bet they want it back, i would still let papers know to warn others.
Re: Oven Thermostat Testing
Depends on the meter, some show O/L for an o/c connection & others for a s/c. As it’s not tripping I took it to mean o/c.
Re: Oven Thermostat Testing
Hi Martin: The O/L reading was from L/N to Earth, he had a 22 Ohm reading across the element.
Re: Oven Thermostat Testing
Hi Jonty: From those results then it would seem that the Element is ok. 2.6Kwatt yes? my next step would be to connect a Multimeter across the Element terminals with temp probe in oven & see what voltage was across the element & what temp it cut out at, without benefit of a diagram then I would trace the wiring from the element back to the stat or control PCB if one is fitted.
Re: Oven Thermostat Testing
Hi Jonty: If the element is showing o/l on your Insulation tester then I think you’ve already found your problem, a good element should have a relatively low resistance when tested across it’s connecting terminals (Wires disconnected). I normally test elements with a Multimeter first to find out if they are o/c or high resistance & then use the 500 volt insulation test for L/N to Earth if you have a Trip fault. If your using the continuity feature on your Insulation tester then this may not be capable of testing Elements, a lot of Testers only test up to 50 Ohms on continuity.

Alternatively you could take a look at the Shop@ feature of UK Whitegoods, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Also if you use the search feature and type in the following exactly as written: Whirlpool AND American Side by Side you will find a lot of information on the subject.Re: Indesit Washing Machine explodes!!!
Good idea Martin, time more people were made aware of what they have waiting in their Kitchen.
Re: Oven Thermostat Testing
Hi Jonty, The way I normally test them is: Use a Thermometer with a flexible probe in the oven to check temp & either a Multimeter or Test Lamp across the output of the stat, turn stat to required temp & wait while watching the thermometer & meter to see what temp the oven cuts out at.
When you say the element is high resistance, how high?
