Re: Pattern Heater Elements

Thanks for that Mike.
After reading through the origional thread i realise it was Bosch pattern heaters from connect in question. Mine was from Masterpart, which goes to prove its pattern heaters in general which is the problem.
In the motor trade pattern parts are widely used and seem to be constructed in most cases to an exact standard to the origional. Just without the large mark up.
In our trade, at least it seems, recently the pattern stuff that is being churned out is just made to look like the origional rather than to last or even function as the origional.
In the last few months ive bought pattern themostats that failed in weeks or didnt even work straight from the box.
Bullet piercing valves (copy of supco ones) which were unusable as the quality of construction was so poor.
Door hindges for intergrated servis fridges that when you fit them they have as much play on them as the old ones you took off.
I know some of the origional stuff isnt always great and the mark up can be high, but generally you get what you pay for.
As that is what i preach i suppose i better start practacing it. Subs

Re: Hoover HNMF2605AL-80

The first couple i did i followed the instructions to the letter soldring the connections. Found this a bit fiddly and had trouble with heat from solder iron shrinking heat shrink sheath. Started using butt connectors and wider sheath to cover them ( think this is important as moisture may give wrong resistant readings). Had no problems.

Re: Bosch Dishwasher Dispenser

I tested the actuater with voltage and it went bang!
Now, did it do this because it was faulty or something i did wrong? I looked inside it and see its just a bimetal mechanism with a ptc. Ive checked the board but cant see any blown triacs dry joints etc. I just want to make sure before i buy £125 board that ive covered everything. Does the board energise the actuater at a set part of the programme and not when say certain water temp is reached? Although it is heating the water and i know from the past (on these machines) that the tablet gets released even when the heater is faulty. Is this a common board fault?

Thanks

Re: Whirlpool “not spinning sometimes”

Thanks for everyones input.

The letting agency has decided to get a new machine to keep the tennant happy (or quiet). I think the tennant was determined to get a new one anyway.
Im convinced there was nothing wrong with the machine and it was probably an OOB problem.
Its frustrating when you dont get to the bottom of a problem and its possible that a perfectly good machine may be scrapped.

Re: Whirlpool “not spinning sometimes”

I thought about the out of balance senario but dismissed it when it would not spin with no load. Now i know some machines dont spin with no load in it but i had this spinning empty before. Also would the OOB be happening so often?

Re: Whirlpool “not spinning sometimes”

Went back to this machine and could not get it to spin at all. Checked pressure system all seems ok. Pressure switch seems to operate. Tried it with and without load in. All it seems to do is drain, distribute then stop. It does this a few times then stops. Although it did not spin this time it had spun before for me and the tennant, so im thinking being intermittant it may not be board (tightened all connections). Ive wasted a lot of time on it now so im even reluctant to gamble £30 on a pressure switch. Am i missing anything?

Re: Masterparts parts search frustration!

To be honest, although i was bit peeved off about the situation, in general
i find Masterpart to be quite reliable. I suppose when i get a problem now and again with an order its easy to forget about all the stuff ive ordered before that was in stock and turned up quickly and efficently. Mind you, there was a time when i was waiting on a module for a hoover F/F and was told it was due in in a couple of days. It ended up 2 weeks and i had taken a deposit off the customer who kept chasing me on the phone and eventually insinuated to me that i was just a messer and had probably never even ordered it. Thats what annoys me, when your made to look bad and unprofessional through no fault of your own.

Re: Hoover HFA290GB

I agree with Simon46
A lot of the time the foamed in sensor causes the same problem (fridge freezing) but no lights on control panel or not being able to turn off fridge from control always seems to be module fault.
