Re: Hoover HNWF7148
Hi Martin: restorer@tesco.net
Is this the usual sort of thing with these machines ❓ haven’t seen 1 this badly burned for quite a while & never a Hoover, Hotpoint / Indesit yes.
Having said that I have never worked on this model before.
Thanks: AndyRe: Microwave Question
AWI used to be pretty knowledgable about repairs & only too glad to give advice, worth a call in case there’s anything wev’e overlooked.
Can u post & let me know how it turns out in the end.
Thanks: Andy. 8)Re: Hoover HNWF7148
Hi All: Just to finish this 1 off, went to look at it today & got a bit of a surprise. Interlock melted, burnt wiring & a fried pcb, looks nice from the outside though. Customer decided not to bother with repair & then had hell getting my money out of her until I mentioned court action.
Would still like a CCT or manual if anybody has one.
Thanks: AndyRe: Microwave Question
Hi: Don’t forget you can’t check the diode, cap or circuit protector with a Digi. Any Analogue meter with a 6v or higher battery should be able to test the diode, Cap & circuit protector. What happened when you tested the diode with the lamp ? Also have you checked that you actually have 240v to the transformer primary? Have you checked the thermal cutouts for continuity? If all the above are o.k then it seems that the Magnetron is the only thing left.
Re: Electra AWM 1150A ECO
Maybe a silly question but did you check the element for Earth leakage? had a machine today agitating & emptying but nothing else, turned out the element had a 250k leak to Earth. Last one I did had a 170k leak to Earth & all that did was pump out without agitating. 😕
Re: Attention CDA Agents…………..
Not giving work to the agents they have already but still takeing on more,
wonderful idea 😡Re: Free Estimate.
Excellent idea Martin got 10 machines for you to fix, why aren’t you here yet? :rolling:
Re: april fools day…..ive a washer in my shower room ..!!!
O.K I didn’t take into account the fact that Fixit said shower room, & was taking it that there was also a bath. So the machine is actually approx 1000mm outside of zone 1 (outer edge of shower unit) so situated under a metal sink 400mm outside zone 2, I don’t know about you but I still think that this is Ridiculous & Dangerous. No matter what they have put in the 17th edition to appease the EU, a regularly damp & steam laden room is no place for Electrical appliances unless they are specificaly manufactured for the purpose there’s also the fact that you have to isolate in a different room to work on the appliance :zap:

Yep & wasn’t that a well thought out idea? In a lot of places putting a washing machine in a Bath or shower room means that is has to be fitted in a really small space with all the safety problems that brings & the regs state that Laundry appliances may be used ONLY when sited outside of Zone 2 and permanently connected via a circuit protected with a 30ma RCD. 😯 In this case it appears that outside zone 2 was barely the case if at all & it was mounted under a metal sink & obviously didn’t have a permanent connection to an RCD protected circuit as it was fed via a plug,
just lucky for the punters that the Earth was intact. Nice meter by the way Fixit 8)Re: april fools day…..ive a washer in my shower room ..!!!
See we allways knew we spent money on Meggers for a reason 😆
mind you in this case you’d probably have found it with a cheapie multimeter. God these people never learn & if the little girl got :zap:
it wouldn’t be their fault would it ❓
Had a few trying to tell me that because the plug is outside the bathroom then it’s safe to have a washing machine next to the Bath, 1 of em was a sparky 😯Re: hygena adp8322 8545000115813 intermittent 11 flash alarm
Thanks Mike & sorry Johnny, been up nearly 24 hours straight & not thinking straight.
Andy 😳Re: hygena adp8322 8545000115813 intermittent 11 flash alarm
OWI if fitted should be inline with water intake & tells CPU how much water has entered the machine, should have 3 connections: +5v supply,
Negative normally on middle terminal & +5v pulsed or Squarewave output.
To check: Measure across +5v input & Negative first, then from third (output) pin to Negative with water flowing into machine, for a working meter you should see the voltage pulsing up to 5v or very near, easier to see on a meter with Bargraph display or an Analogue. To make the pulse easier to see you can turn the water pressure into the machine down a bit,
have also had this fault caused by a partially blocked water intake filter.
HTH: AndyRe: Servis M6115 – module fault or something else?
Heater Element leaky to Earth would probably be most likely or faulty pressure switch.
You need a good Multimeter or Megger to check it out.PLEASE REMEMBER POWER OFF & PLUG OUT BEFORE OPENING IT UP.
Re: AEG dishwasher FAV507601D dispenser always open
Hi Graeme: It would be easy to check for Triac failure in this, just check between all pins of the Triac with an Ohmmeter & if faulty would read s/c or heavily leaky between terminals. 8)
