Re: Bosch Classixx7 Door Gasket / Silicone Seal Ring

Thanks Dave. Ordered it, got it, fitted, all good.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Re: Bosch Classixx7 Door Gasket / Silicone Seal Ring

The gasket I’m trying to fit might be too small. It measures about 1cm less in diameter (inner diameter of the rear fitting ring.

I’ve bought part SKU DBT93, and my machine numbers are

Enr: WAE24368GB/54

FD 9302 603565

Question also sent to UK Whitegoods spares, but asking here in case there’s a Sunday night reponse, telling me to get on with the job. I’ve just tried it again and it seems a wrong fit.

Re: Bosch Classixx7 Door Gasket / Silicone Seal Ring

You are very strict Martin!

totalshambles, I think Martin’s correct though – it looked like a clean tear (previous owner’s damage) and there’s no banging from drum.

Anyway, I’ve obeyed orders and have ordered a replacement seal. Thanks again.

Re: Bosch Classixx7 Door Gasket / Silicone Seal Ring

Dear all,

Coming back to you to say thanks for your help and advice. The washer is a recent second-hand purchase, bought with ripped seal, so on THIS occasion I can’t blame any family members!

I had noticed the small hole inside the upper lug, so thought there might be a issue with rotating it. Thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks as well for the link to the replacement seal – seems very good value, but for now I’ve gone with a repair using Sugru – mouldable sillicone – that adheres quite well and creates a good patch once it’s been shaved with a razor blade, to allow the seal to sit as naturally as possible. It’s leaking now just a couple of capsful of water per wash, so no real problem, but I might have a second attempt at patching to improve my work.

Thanks again for all the advice. This forum is lifesaver!

Re: Neff S5453 – finding cause of my flooded base

drain pipe from sump all clear and clean, right through to kitchen pipes. Either side of impeller also clear.

I can feel a little hard disk if I poke from the hose end of the impeller drain spout. I presume that’s an inline filter.

I wonder is it anything to do with the build-up of sludge in the top corner of this plastic water channel unit?

Re: Neff S5453 – finding cause of my flooded base

Thanks Martin.

I had done so, based on the related threads. See updated clean picture!

But no joy. At least, a different problem apparently.

Permanent draining not now a problem, but in cycle it won’t drain. Sounds like there’s a blockage in the outflow, as I can hear the impeller working away. It sounds a lot more noisy than normal, but I think that’s just because its internal cowl is removed and the whole machine is pulled out, so not sound-insulated by the counter etc.

Is it normal for the programme lights to go out once programme begins? Mine hidden by counter top when it’s in place, so I don’t normally see them.

I’m about to empty it out and see what I can find. I did clean out the pump and all those chambers very thoroughly not so long ago.

Wish me luck …

Re: Miele W844. Won’t Spin. Flashing ‘Rinses’ light. – Resol

IT’S FIXED!!!

Thanks especially to Muv aka Martin, and my brother who talked me through some of the soldering detail, from a long way away. For the record, the replacement fuse had blown because the relay was dead, from the first time the fuse blew – as the experts on here had advised it would be.

In case it helps someone else, here’s the sequence, from fault to solution:

Overload caused failure – ‘rinse’ light flashing.
Removed EL200 circuit board, as advised on this site.
Using a multimeter, established that fuse was blown.
Replaced fuse, problem remained.
Next night, replaced relay (as site had originally advised would be necessary).
Problem remained.
Was considering replacing brushes (because drum was not turning) when Martin advised that the original faulty relay might have blown the replacement fuse. Advised checking that first.
Fuse was blown – replaced with another from my multipack.
Success.

Got all my parts from RS for about £6, including delivery. The machine lives to fight another day.

fuse: RS 6.3A Radial T Leaded PCB Mount Fuse, 250 V ac
RS Stock No.611-9346Brand RS
http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/non-reset … s/6119346/

relay: it’s RS 680-3830. http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/non-latch … s/6803830/

Hope that posting those links doesn’t infringe forum policy.

On with the washing.

Thanks again.

Re: Miele W844. Won’t Spin. Flashing ‘Rinses’ light. – Resol

thanks Martin – I’ll give that a go now (fuse check), because I’ve just changed the relay and the problem remains.

After that, I’ll have to learn how to change the brushes … I’m sure there’s a link on here somewhere.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Miele W844. Won’t Spin. Flashing ‘Rinses’ light. – Resol

Hi All

Very useful topic. I’ve had the same issue and have replaced the EL200 fuse (not the relay), but the problem persists.

I know the fuse works as I’ve put a meter across it when I soldered it in.

I know the relay works as I did the 9v battery test to hear it switch. But others say it always should be replaced. What do people think? Might that be the problem?

Other symptoms: when I set the programme, start, machine fills with water but drum does not turn and the rinse indicator light comes on fairly soon. Machine goes ahead and drains etc.

Help!! I’ve no clean clothes left!!

Re: Miele W844

Hi
My ‘Rinses’ light is flashing, following someone else putting a kingsize duvet into the drum. It stopped half-way through. I presumed this was related to the excess weight, but maybe it’s a coincidental motherboard failure.

Any thoughts, anyone?

PDF 1809 – how did you discover the fault in order to send it to the ebay repair company? How did you diagnose the issue?

Thanks

Re: Condenser Drier "Container Full" NOT!!

Thanks Martin, for a weekend reply! I wasn’t necessarily expecting one so went ahead and removed first the right panel (looking at machine from the front), but not there, so then the left, where I found the float chamber beneath an electrical box. It was quite full of sludge. I’ve cleaned it out and rebuilt the machine and everything seems now to be working find – thank you very much for you help.

For the benefit of other users, I’ll post photos of the parts visited when I get a chance.

Thanks again.

Regards

SC

Re: Condenser Drier "Container Full" NOT!!

Hi Martin
I’ve pulled the dryer out and removed the large kidney-shaped rear panel, but it all looks like fans and electrical under there. Can you advise how I should locate the float chamber on this model please. Classixx7
Thanks
Cillian
