Re: WF865 Spider replacement

Oh, well it was last done about a year ago but I didn’t notice him replace the spider, maybe it was done the first time, about 6 months after we bought it.

Re: WF865 Spider replacement

Thanks for such a quick reply iadom.

That’s a bummer, the last 2 times the engineer has done the job they just replaced the rear drum assy, I don’t recall seeing him change the spider hence my assumption that it is still the 30mm version. I guess I will have to take the drum out and check what is currently fitted.

Thanks again.

Re: Hotpoint Ultima WF865

Thanks for the advice guys, I will have a good look round the opening from the lifter and if that fails, I will be back for drum removal advice.

Re: Hotpoint Ultima WF865 “Test”

Nothing in my instruction manual about test mode, it was the first place I checked.

Re: Hygena 8224/1 removal of drain Pump

I have finally managed to get the dump motor out and have found the motor shaft to the impeller has broken so i obviously need a new motor. The details on the label of the motor show,

PLASET SRL ITALY
50548- 34W- 0, 3A
220/240v AC-50HZ
PROTETT. TERMIC.
CL.F 02-97

Anyone know where I can get one and how much?

Cheers

Re: Hoover TV20 Not Heating up

Hi Washman,

I did look at the heater assy after penguin45 suggested it but the image shown (if the correct image) is not the same as the heater assy in my dryer, in the picture you can see the thermistat but my assy has another component also mounted through the panel next to the thermostat.

Re: Hoover TV20 Not Heating up

Thanks for letting me know washman..

I have opened up the thermistat and found that one side of the bimetalic strip is broken, so this is obviously the problem. I am having no joy at all locating a new thermistat, any suggestions??

Cheers

Tony

Re: Hoover TV20 Not Heating up

Just to update,

I checked the thermostat and when out of circuit it was open, it is an ELTH Type 261, could i just replace this?

You’ll find it here:

Additionally, check for blockages, crushed vent hoses, missing weather cpwls and don’t open the door with the heat on.

Hi,

Thanks for the info, can you explain why the whole module must be replaced and not just the failed component? The picture does not look like the heater element in my machine, maybe just a bad angle or picture?

Also how can I not open the door with the heat on? if the dryer is running and i need to open the door, what should be the correct procedure?

Regards

Tony

cos if it is, its the thermal overload, which, contrary to other posts, means the thermostat has failed

complete heater unit, with both on would be recommended

and do unplug it, theyre live permanantly and it does get quite nasty if u forget to unplug!!

hope this helps

Hi, if the light is external then it does not apply as there is only 1 light on the dryer which is the “on” light.

Re: I need a new dishwasher

Spoke to Lynchpin on the live chat, he said very similar, so I am now looking at the Bosch SGS45E68 works out the same as the indesit with warranty cover, £330. Looks pretty good.
