Re: Samsung Ecobubble WF1124XAC 3E

Ugh,

Looks like I got 3E and E3 mixed when I was searching.

I can usually hear the diaphragm, not the mechanical switch because as you said it doesn’t have one. I tested this by doing the same thing with the new one which you can hear in a quiet room.

Id assume there was some sort of blockage then if you believe the switch was fine as it’s filling to the correct level now.

I’ll advise them to get the motor serviced by Samsung.

Thanks for the quick response

Re: Beko 1243s dishwasher is dead

As you say you have tested the switch, fuse and socket then I will assume you have access to a multi-meter?

If so and you are experienced with electrics then try and trace the mains “path” through the machine while the supply is dead. ie checking the filter capacitor and continuity to the main PCB.

However if this sounds too complicated then I’d strongly advise you to find an engineer in your local area as this is something you won’t want to do unless you are experienced with electrics and repairs.

Hope this helps 🙂

Re: Problems with my Fridge Freezer

Sounds like a thermostat issue. You can see a few listed here; http://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/catalogs … =CDA539F-2

If you are confident and skilled then try measuring your current thermostat for continuity with a multimeter whilst the machine is off.

Re: Hoover Optima OPT714DS Error Code E08

Haven’t come across this one myself. Did some reading and it appears that it’s related to the tacho on the motor. This monitors speed so the machine can control the motor.

Re: Miele KFN 8462SD Freezer drain hole blocked

Happy to help 🙂

I think defrost might be your only way forward on this one but it’s always a pain to have to do that! You might find that an old wire coat-hanger is pretty useful for bending to the right shape and unblocking the hole.

Hope you get it sorted.

Re: Miele KFN 8462SD Freezer drain hole blocked

Hi Debbie1234,

Have you tried pouring warm water down the hole or letting the unit defrost and then attempting to dislodge it? Usually if some food falls down there then ice will freeze around it, so a combination of defrosting, heat and poking can be required 🙂

Hope that helps.

Re: Beko WMB61431 blown pcb

Yeah, definitely sounds about right. Try tracing the path from the Triac to the PCB see if there’s any tiny surface mount resistors/transistors that have blown. If not then I’d say that one is kaput :/

Re: Hotpoint WT741

All I could find was these;

Tub & drum complete welded type – 2402052CO
Drum & Spider – 2207396CO

Hope that helps.

Re: neff s5409xogb/01 no lights on display board

I wouldn’t know unless I could get one into my workshop and use the scope on it. If it’s just part of the driving circuit that’s dead then it should be ok to fix. If it’s the microprocessor then there’s nothing I can do.

Re: Hotpoint RFA52

Not a problem 🙂 let me know how you get on.

Just out of curiosity, did you see if there was any readings across the coil of the relay? ie was it being energised?

Could imply that the relay driver circuit has a busted transistor or something similar.
no coil being energised

Sounds like the driver circuit has died then, possibly a smd transistor, usually has a Q number. Thanks for the update anyway.

Re: Hotpoint RFA52

Feel if it is warm, see if there are any airflow restrictions or anything that could be stopping it dissipating it’s heat.

Re: Hotpoint RFA52

The part in red on the back is the condensor.

Great little primer here to see how your fridge works too.

Re: Hotpoint RFA52

No problem. Definitely sounds like the cooling system is struggling. Did you check the condenser?

[TechSmart]

Re: Hotpoint RFA52

Hi Libbo2003,

How old is the machine? If the compressor is running then it will be worth checking the condenser. This is usually at the back of the machine, or sometimes underneath and usually with a fan. This is where the heat gets dissipated to cool your fridge. If the condenser is blocked with dust or not getting enough air flow then it cannot get rid of the heat and cool the machine.

However if that is all clear then it could be that you have a refrigerant leak and you would need to use a local appliance engineer for that.

Hope this helps.
