Re: Lux Intergrated Washer Dryer No Cool Down?

Went back to check out this machine and found the hose from the bottom of the condenser to the pump completley blocked with gunge and limescale. I thought this must be the cause of the problem so cleaned it out and checked out everything else and away i went. Got call back to say its doing exactly the same thing.
Now i have checked everything on this machine. The water valve operates, condenser is clean, outlet pump operates on dry cycle, heater works and cuts out when dryer timer gets to cool down symbol and fan operates. Why are clothes coming out “steaming hot”?
Could it be the valve breaking down causing this?

Thanks

Re: Whirlpool AWZ512/SE fills drum on drying cycle

Not sure about the flooding bit but i have done a few of these lately where the problem has been the selector switch. It plays up, like not cancelling programme so when you select new one it carries on with previous one. Had it filling on dry cycle because although you’ve selected dry the switch has selected a wash. Replace switch if this is the problem.

Thanks

Re: Neff Side by Side Fridge Freezer

Thanks ill check out the board. The bulb was blown so it could be what you described Nomadpaul.
I checked on BSH and the only part that looked like the board was something described as Housing Part No266805. Is this the board?

Thanks

Re: Admiral/Whirlpool Defrost Heater

http://www.4admiral.co.uk is just a retail site run by Connect and we know how ludicrous some of thier prices are.
Im sure i bought the same heater a while back for about £40-£50 on account from ASD services. 0113 3936680.

Re: Candy CMD146 Suspension Leg

helo_75 i don’t believe it, just checked the part number you quoted 09200657 on Masterpart and they are the ones for my machine. As you mentioned my machine has a plastic securing plate at botttom. Its a shame Masterpart could not fathom it out after all the phone calls. I knew the ones i had were not right, id even been out to similar machines since and seen the same shocks on them that were on mine (Hoover HNF617) for example.
This job is for a landlord i do work for and with all the tooing and throwing i reckon the job has cost ME about £50 to do and its STILL not right.

Thanks for your replies guys!

Re: Has this site been mentioned on here before ?

No DIY book has ever put a builder, plumber, plasterer etc out of bussines. So there is nothing to fear here.
What i don’t like about it is the way it portrays all service companies as rip off merchants. Like the bit about being told the motors knackered when its just the brushes and a replacement motor is £200. It says even if it was the motor we can supply you with companies that will supply you with a new one for about £50. Anyone bought a new motor for £50 lately?
The book will also show you how to strip a machine down and give you tips that the pro’s use to remove bearings without special tools…..yeah, its called blood sweat tears and a fair bit of elbow grease too!

Re: Candy CMD146 Suspension Leg

Thanks for your replies guys!
Ive managed to get the shocks to fit. The plastic holes at each end of both types of shock are both the same size, what makes them different is on the ones i bought, have a plastic grommet within the hole and then a metal collar within that, making it too small to take the peg. I had to remove these and replace them with the rubber grommet and plastic collar that was on the origional. Problem is, these were a bit worn (plastic collar was cracked. Still not convinced its the right shock for this machine.
What if you needed to replace the shock because the rubber grommet had perished?

Thanks

Re: Candy CMD146 Suspension Leg

Mmmmmm! Im thinking, if the damper hole is smaller than the locating holes then the bolt would have to be narrow enough to fit through the damper leaving a lot of play around the locating holes, if that makes sense.

Re: Candy CMD156 Jumping around!

It is a CMD146 that was a typing error I think!
I’ll try replacing the shocks.

Re: Whirlpool AWZ512/SE Strange Fault

Thanks I’ll try that. It’s worth the gamble because it’s quite cheap, unlike the main board which is £250+.(whirlpool prices are a joke!)

Re: Baumatic D/W BDW13

Sorry! It actually fits to the wash pump housing and I’ve since found out that the little diverter thing is not available seperatley and the complete motor and housing is required.

Re: EMW issues

There are not many companies ive dealt with in this game that i can say this about but EMW provide in my opinion a perfect service. I have thier brochure in my tool bag so i can look up what boards they do and prices instantly on the job. Make a call to them and as my details come straight up, i just tell them what i want and it turns up next day. If you make a mistake and its not the board you send it back and it costs £5:95. The technical info they send out with the boards is usefull too.

While im on the subject of praising the services of companies i use i’d like to highlight a few good things about CON-nect.
They have a wide selection of parts, they..erm…erm..erm…ill have to come back to you on that when i can think of something else.

Re: BOSCH F/F KGV2604GB/04

Hi, you just have to by pass one of the sensors. Its well documented on here. If you have the 4 wires connected to your board there is a photo of the repair in the “simple pc repairs” sticky at the top of this page. There is a 3 wire version too.
