Indesit IWDC6125
If the connector block is the problem then what can it be done to stop it happening? I can’t find replacement plug other than complete new loom.
The wiring does looks a bit too thin, I prefer it thicker. But this is what they can get away with it.

my thoughts too! Just baffling that’s all.
Although it is Indesit but it is the same interlock and motor on Hotpoint so makes them both as rubbish as each other then?
Have already stocked up on Indesit door interlocks, just got a bigger van so I can hold more spares.

I would like a fault code for this too as I just spent a good hour figuring out what’s the fault. In the end narrowed it down to dodgy motor and door interlock (?).
Re: useful tool for PAT testing
Steve,
How did you find the kit? Did it make the job easier for insulation testing appliance?

Re: useful tool for PAT testing
very true but just the basics when it comes to insulation testing appliance. It would kind of speeded things up. Of course there’s more to it. Thank you for pointing it out.
Re: PCB module relay for HPT VTD00P
Martin, I think you may be right.
Will talk to them, but first price up new tumble dryers and washing lines with pegs.
If he decides to plump for new dryer or washing line, I will try take the broken machine home with me and carry out an autopsy to determine the cause of the pcb relay blowing.
Re: Rainwater harvesting
iadom wrote:Surely the rain falling on your neighbours houses is their property. 😉
I don’t see them complaining? After all the water is free, someone did suggest using water like oil. Would my neighbours charge me for using their rainwater off the roof? Nah, I doubt it.
There is this building regulations and large housebuilding firms are being urged to install such systems.
http://www.construction-magazine.co.uk/ … a-388.html
It all started with water butts in people gardens, a stepping stone toward rainwater harvesting. Just like in the late 80’s and early 90’s cars were being converted from 4 star to unleaded to make way for catalytic converters in 1994/5 with the eventual phasing out of 4 star petrol ten years later.
Regardless of your views, this is going to happen because of all this sustainability palaver. A close friend of mine says that the house builders are pleading “poverty” due to the recession and the installation of rainwater harvesting system in new builds are to be delayed, I do not know the final outcome of this. So please be vigilant on this as we will one day come across this. I do not know if washing machines are to be hooked up on to this (the regulations says it could) or would it be just for toilet flushing (my guess it pretty much on how much the plumbers are willing to do, he or she may decides that rainwater has no place in the kitchen)
Rainwater harvesting
A well informed house builder tells me that rainwater harvesting is now more or less compulsory in new builds. Most of the system are direct fed via a pump.
Like you said water pressure would be an issue. The filling of the tank is determined by the size of your roof. In my case I live in a terrace of four houses, my drain pipe takes all the water from three properties. Money saver here. I’m not going ahead to have it installed as we do not plan to live in this house for more than 5 years. If we are intending to stay longer than 5 years then the system would pay for itself.
As with regards to new builds, it’s very highly likely we will come across a system like rainwater harvesting especially in hard water area. Potential soap suds overflowing…
PCB module relay for HPT VTD00P
Yet again, got a phone call from the same client saying the tumble dryer broke, same fault, press and hold the start button it works, if you let go the button it stops.
Surely it can’t be the pub relay to blame, summat in the dryer must have caused to break? Would there be a power surge somewhere?
Just thinking if motor/capacitor/heater being the culprit? Can’t keep on buying new pcb relay and fit them under guarantee, I’ll lose money!

How would someone prove that they hadn’t touched the gas system if the cookers spread over half of Kent?
Not worth the risk.
Cookers spread over half of Kent? Nuclear fall-out from Dungeness from a guy repairing the cooker in the staff canteen!

Bear this in mind, they may be able to help if it is the module board.
Re: Bosch SGS43c12GB15
My guess is that check for blockages, pressure switch, all the contact points. Providing you have checked it all out, then it may be worth looking at PCB?
Sounds like an auto drain out when it detected a leak, I presume that there’s no leak on the base. The detergent dispenser had been known to cause weird fault.
If you have tried all of the basics, and only quick wash works, then it suggests PCB problem.
I even had a dw that baffled me and it was all righted itself by simply pulling the plug out and leave for ten mins.
Bosch SGS43c12GB15
Might be worth asking if it heats up? Some bsh dw can be picky on heating. Cold pre wash then drains then would not go further suggest heating problems.
Have you done insulation test? 95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time it will pick up faults if it’s the heater.

Looks like there’s no die hard clarification, but it looks like it’s ok as long you don’t touch. IMO – I think I would walk away from it and advise the client to contact the manufacturer and get them to dispatch their engineers. This way we can divert the blame on the manufacturer as they will have to pay out huge fortune to get their engineers trained up on Gas safety, perhaps they will reconsider the design aspect of the appliance and make it easier for blokes like us for years to come? Pie in the sky? Maybe…
Also there is this leak detector, how can we prove that it is being used correctly? With the insulation meter, we need to prove that we are competence to use it hence PAT testing training and with all the ribbons and bows to go with it. As well having it calibrated and get certificate to prove it is up to date.
Also serves the clients right for buying the range in the first place, if they kept it simple then they would not have got into a mess. After all, if they can afford the range then they can afford the manufacturer’s engineers to fix them.
Re: Working on Dual fuel range cooker – Gas Safe registered?
I think it might be worth finding out what’s the official line that WTA says, as a member, it would be helpful to follow the guidelines rather than guess and hope for the best.
So what’s the official line then? Personally I would be happier to say that if WTA advised against working on dual fuel range unless you are gas safe registered. This way we all got our backs covered.
It would be such a pity to miss out the lucrative market as most people in affluent area tend to have the range cooker. Goodness knows why? I have never seen people using all six burners or even used the griddle, let alone using the spit roast oven! Status symbol I guess, just like those expensive coffee machine we see in higher end kitchens.
