Re: My hotpoint wma9 doesn`t spin at all
Good advice from iadom but if determined to proceed then I found in most cases a light tap on the side of the motor with the rubber handle of a screwdriver would produce a burst of life confirming the brushes.
Re: HELP! TUMBLE DRYER ON FIRE! HELP! TUMBLE DRYER ON FIR
Every householder’s nightmare. I hope everything works out o.k but felt forensics should have been more specific rather than just more or less saying that it originated from the appliance which you and the fire brigade knew already.
I wonder who installed the appliance as I also have Whirlpool appliances although the dryer is not a condenser type like this one but I think my one had polystyrene packaging that had to be removed.
Just pointing out that if the retailer did not install on their behalf then an excuse such as this (regardless if packaging in this appliance or not) may be used to try to wriggle out of responsibility.
Looking at the picture it would appear that the fire started at the lower front of the machine (just first impressisons and opinion only). Where is the heater located on this machine? or is it at the rear as in my one.
One last point is in my opinion the retailer purchased the appliance from the manufacturer a brand new sealed BSI approved equipment for sale to the general public and as such if a manufacturer’s defect caused this then the resposibility should lie solely with the manufacturer.
A similar thing can be said for repairing equipment but in this case the repair man can be liable ONLY if it was not left in an as new condition (ignoring the dents or scratches) with manufacturer’s approved only parts.
Beware guys as a finger may be pointed if a pattern part fitted regardless of cause.Good luck with your claim.
