Re: Beko wm6143b stops mid cycle
Thanks for the reply, it’s actually been working fine ever since but if the fault comes back I’ll do what you suggested and post back what the lights are doing!
Thanks againRe: Beko wm6143b stops mid cycle
It’s started working again of it’s own accord tonight.. wonder how long for this time!
Re: Beko wm6143b stops mid cycle
Anywhere to get service manuals or schematic to narrow down the testing?
Re: Electrolux EOB944 – oven trips circuit breaker
If you want to be certain before ordering any parts you will need to test the cutout, wiring, elements etc with a megger or multimeter. That’s the only way to be sure.
Re: Neff fan oven ‘eating’ elements
My oven element needed replacing about once every 12 months for a couple of years, always replaced with cheap ones off ebay – no probs. Then suddenly they started blowing every couple of months. Personally lessons learnt were:
– make sure replacement elements are correct wattage, rating, turns etc for your appliance. I’ve a feeling I got one our two incorrect ones.
– also check the thermostat, a sus thermostat can blow elements and can usually be replaced with a generic thermostat very inexpensively
– check wiring / connections. After replacing several elements on this machine I found the spade connectors to be both loose and charred / discoloured. Last time I replaced the element, after it blowing about three in as many months, I went through all the internal wiring in the back of the machine and crimped new spade connectors on any that were loose or discoloured. It hasn’t blown again since and that was getting on for a year ago…Re: Hotpoint WMA52 problem
No locking mechanism, but the connections are supposed to be nice and snug. I find needle nosed pliers the best thing to get a grip and waggle them loose.
That said, the brush in the last picture looks in good nick with lots of life left… Though I suppose for the cost of a set they’re probably worth replacing anyway just in caseRe: Smeg Fan Oven Mystery!
Have you checked the elements to ensure no continuity between live and earth terminals, and live and neutral terminals. (a megger is better than a multi meter for this test) Agreed it sounds unlikely for both to fail at once but from the setup it sounds likely that they are wired in series on the same circuit so if one failed it could knock the circuit off for both?
Re: Bosch WVT1260 Washer Dryer motor check
If it was TOC you would get an open circuit whilst testing the relevant terminal pair on the motor socket.
Could be tacho, wiring between motor and pcb/timer, or the pcb/timer.Re: AEG element – anything I should know?
Can’t say exactly for your model but generally elements will be screwed in with a screw either side of the terminal block and a further screw at the opposite side of the terminal block.
With the screws out the element should pull forwards a bit and you generally find they’re wired in with spade connectors to the rear. Should be enough slack in the wires to be able to pull it out a bit, disconnect the spade connectors, remove old element then connect up the new and screw into place.Re: whirlpool washer
Check all the wiring from the motor to the timer / pcb’s for continuity.
Examine the timer / pcb’s for any obvious damage – blown components, scorching, dry joints, carbon deposits etc.
When testing the motor did you test the TOC and the tacho?
Re: Whirlpool AWM5145 – not working after brush change
Given that you’ve already done the brushes the usual suspects for no drum movement are:
-Wiring
-Motor problem, particularly TOC or carbon deposits
-PCB / timer moduleTime to dig out the multimeter…
Re: SEBO X4 Extra Which? report
Got to remember that which reports are generally still just someone’s opinion at the end of the day…
