Re: Hoover washer WMH139D – unintelligible flashing display
To better explain on how what’s going on with the machine,
the machine pumped the water out intermitted and at same time the display board was flashing. The digits were not clear.
Pulled the mains plug, the display showed up as normal. Select Spin then pressed start, then it started going funny. The pump appears to be sound, no blockage or jamming.
I have tried swapping the pressure switch and no change.
The machine is 2 years old.
Any thoughts?

Re: rubbish non genuine dryer capacitors
out of curiosity, what are the typical signs of capacitor failures on Hoover dryers? I do get quite a few of them, mainly refusing to start but I have come across that appears to be weak turning that looks like motor failure. I can’t help wondering if I have mis diagnosed as motor failure when a capacitor would do also it can be easily down to relay but that is more common for Hotpoint rather than Hoover. I don’t keep a stock of it in my van as there are too many varieties out there. But with the Hoover, I might keep a few in stock.

Re: EBAC washing machines launch in the spring
Prices looks reasonable especially with 5 years guarantee.
Curry’s is the only major retailer that can display the machine other than via independence outlet. As much I disapprove Curry’s, I think it’s a major thing to have that on board for a lesser known brand.
I mean look at Amica, says it will be major but 7 years later it’s not major, just a minority and some retailers withdrew the products.
The market is flooded with too many brands. We have lesser known brand vying for a slice of the market such as Servis, Panasonic, Amica, Ebac, Stateman, It’s hard to shake the consumer off the brand loyalty and at the end of the day the consumer vote with their money.
I really do hope this Ebac machine would stand up to the test of time and reliability would be proven against popular brands. I have one question to ask, are Ebac machines sealed drum or split tub? If it’s the former then forget it, if it is the latter then we ought to pitch it to our customers.
Re: EBAC washing machines launch in the spring
My old LG washer has hot and cold fill, I can’t remember how much of the hot water it drew from the combi boiler. The boiler is 4 meters from the machine.
The only program which appears to be using the hot fill only is the Eco 60 wash, the rest of them doesn’t with the exception of the 90 degrees wash. IMO, I think it’s a marketing ploy and doesn’t do much in terms of saving money. Most of the time the 40 deg wash program are used and it’s cold fill.
Re: Is it just me or is anyone else quiet?
I spoke to one of my local supplier this morning and he too says business are quiet. He reckons the warm weather and lots of bbq that people are not using the tumble dryer and ovens. Or that they are saving up for the holidays but I am not too sure as usually when an oven, dishwasher, washing machine or tumble dryer breaks down, hell break lose regardless of the weather! I think it is down to appliances wearing a little better as my customers have had their appliances replaced by myself for better brand.
I may have shot myself on the foot for selling them quality appliances as they don’t return to me after three or four years instead of the usual 10 months later. Failing that I must be crap at my job that my customers don’t want me back! 😉
Re: Is it just me or is anyone else quiet?
I am nearing the end of July with the school holidays and so far I had 6 jobs since the start of July, this is the quietest month I have ever experienced. Ideally I would like some work so that I can have some pocket money for the holidays, looks like I’m gonna take a pay cut for now.
The local whitegoods retailer says the same, it’s quiet for them which means there are few customers knocking about (there is a link between high customers turn out and call out for repairs as both goes hand in hands) or their appliances gotten better?
Just biding my time and wait for that phone call…
Re: Electrue and their discount software crash, is it just m
Gosh, I can’t handle with the whole changing passwords every three months! Bad enough with Connect now with Qualtex. A faff if you use the home computer and the ipad for it and forgetting what’s the new password especially if you changed it on the home computer and haven’t got round to do it on the ipad.
Re: Is it just me or is anyone else quiet?
Looking on my records over the last 6 years, between Easter and School summer holidays are the quietest. If I didn’t have kids, I would take the time out to cruise with the caravan.
I’m with Lee8 that the source of income is changing and evolving. I have three unsold fully repaired working washing machines that I can’t shift and they are not naff machines just decent types. Usually it goes quickly.
Re: worldpay
There’s another company called Netpay via Costco where you get preferential rates. £18 month rental plus 12p charge per debit card transactions and 1.5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} credit card transactions. Could workout much cheaper?
Re: Can you tell me what this button for?
Thanks. Can’t believe that I’ve just noticed it! After all I’m used to fixing Bosch, Neff and Siemens dishwasher but have not seen one with that button. Mine must be a rarity then.
Re: Whirlpool AWOE9140 dead.
I brought the PCB home in the vain hope that I would be able to replace one of the box capacitor or voltage thingy, so how do you test it? (Edited this after googling – it’s the relay not capacitor that I was referring to.)
There’s no lights on the display and there is power going to the board but I do not know how to test it from the point of entry on the board to determine if there’s power or not.
Re: Whirlpool AWOE9140 dead.
What was the outcome on this machine as I too have the same problem?
Board looks very clean, wondering if it’s the White capacitor box (12v doc 16a/250v) is the culprit?
Just that I had similar issue with a whirlpool dishwasher, summat to do with not powering up the PCB.
Re: Just saw my former sales rep at Connect
There’s no showroom at Connect, just a well ventilated trade counter to experience the outdoor temperature throughout the year. I think this guy works on the picking line or in the loading bay as he was was wearing hi vis jacket.
I don’t recall seeing any grubby men at the recent WTA conference, just smartly dressed engineers. I like to think we have moved on from the old image of back alley workshop with Sunday sport pin ups to hi tech smartly dressed engineer with swanky vans.
