Re: Bosch SGS66E02GB/45 Dw

Thanks Martin

Friend just handed it to me and said this has got to go back on. So didnt get chance to check the loom situation out. (normally label them or change them one at a time)

Sounds a piece of cake to fit back in, just didnt want to go back and fit it and not know where the wires go 🙄 . and look like a plum 😳

Always the way when its one of ya mates, never is straight forward.

Module has blown track on the heater plug outlet, usually where it gets dry jointed on the old relay pins. Looks like too much current, but any other know causes?

Also any error codes for this baby?

Re: indesit wdg1295wg (no high spin)

Timer :tup:

Changed lots of these for same fault, usually module for no wash action, timer for no spin.

Re: Odd Bosch fault!

Had this on a Hotpoint WM63 once, As soon as it started heating it just stopped dead 😯 .

Exactly the same thing, as soon as it wanted some big current jobbies to heat it just arced and stopped. Took socket off the wall and there it was, live just hanging on by a thread.

Dont forget to take a decent set of allen keys to get the pulley wheel off the motor

Doddle to dismantle, undo the two screws in the filter compartment. Pop the top up like a car bonnet (two plastic clips on the front each side looking throught the groove along top front)

Undo two 7mms each side inside.

Front lifts off, inner drum lifts out, bingo :tup:

Switch/motor for sure, but just aswell change whole assy for differance in price 😯

Dunno har name :con:

But she is one of the old dears who wears the beret on Last of the summer wine. Repair her applainces, she comes into a non smoking shop smoking. That just about sums her attitude up really. 😡

Also Dave Lee (comedien) comes in shop from time to time seems pretty down to earth.
One of the Bucks Fizz bloke is also one of our customers but not been there yet, couldnt make me mind up :rotfl:

Can of worms springs to mind ❗

I find that domestic house wiring like many other subjects is the that the more you get into it you realise how little you actually know about. Stick to what you know best, appliances 😉

As I said in the Zanussi burning smell thread, this is an interesting topic.

I too like your good selves spend 5 days a week in the field mixing with those interesting people we call customers 👿 as we all know, great job if it wasnt for the customers, but no customers no job 😥 .

As well as repairing appliances I also install new electric cookers as part of our service, (dumping the old unit and fitting the new) and am sure many of you do the same

Before connection I always check supply polarity and earth loop impedance and this I do without fail. It worries me to think how many I have come accross that actually have no earth for one reason or another 😯 .

This I think youll find is a legal requirement and that the results are documented.

I also know that Hotpoint installation drivers have been issued a tester to check mains socket upon prior to an installation of their products.

Coming back to the repair side of things, carrying out a PAT test to a freestanding item after repair is quite straightforward, however built in appliances not so easy ❗

Without actually pulling it all out which we all know is a pain unless of course its a Neff or similar with those b****y studs on and you have no choice.
You should have turned it off at the supply socket on a double pole switch. :zap: This would only leave the earth connected, as you now have the unit out anyway a PAT can be done.
Pretty straight forward stuff really 😉

I have often pondered the 💡 that if you were doing an element change from the front, before fitting fixing the element in place you could actually connect Pat tester croc clips to earth and terminals of element ❓ ,
switch on all oven/grill functions etc and check unit for low insulation ❓

Depending on timer/clock being two pole relay etc

The only Negative to this though is that when re fixing the new element into place you could actually catch the wires between the chassis and element, this of course then makes the whole test void as this is what you checking for in the first place. :lol:, but is something better than nothing ❓ Just a thought
