    Interesting; what are you suggesting? I cut a 3/4 bsp thread over the 3/4 NPT thread on the valve?

    The genuine hose is 3/4 npt which is a very find thread. I have already tried to find something in brass but it’s not used in the UK.

    Another thought was to cannibalise the genuine hose and add the connector from a UK hose to the tap end but I’m not convinced I will get a water tight seal where it was originally crimped. I don’t really want to ruin a £30 hose on the off chance.

    I tired this but no one has them in stock and they come back as obsolete.

    Thanks eastlmark, that would be great if you can find one.
    The owner had forced one on but it had started to leak.

    Thanks Martin,
    What do you mean by “UK adaptor”?
    Are you suggesting use a UK hose fitting to the valve and build the valve thread up with PTFE?

    Thanks Dave,
    It looks like it might be a motor triac fault but will run through a test procedure first before going any further.

    Re: Zanussi TC180W Fan replacement

    Hi,
    Thanks for the manual Dave.
    It looks like it may not have come out because I hadn’t removed the spring completely. I removed the belt to take off the tension but it looks like the spring might have locked it I place.
    I will find out when I return with the part.
    Keith.

    This oven also has a control module, would you rule that out or could this also be a possibility?

    Thanks NomadPaul, is there a way of testing either of these components other than replacing?

    Re: Hotpoint HE7L252PUK Dots on clothes

    cheers Ken,

    I going to get the tenant ask the neighbours, to eliminate the water supply as a possibility.
    I have come across most of the other stains/marks on clothes before (overloading being the most common) but the only time I have seen this particular problem is when it is in relation to bearing failure.
    I will go back and see what else I can deduce.

Couple that with the wrong wash cycle or incorrect detergent use and you’d get exactly what you describe.

    Thanks Ken,

    Attracting the dirt spots? is that dirt brought in with the water? It either has to be with the water or in the drum prior to the wash to be lifted through the holes so as to match the drum hole pattern.

    The marks shown were on the front of a baby grow which could support this theory but the source of the dirt concerns me?

    Although the user is using warm washes (as does everyone else nowadays), she is using a good quality detergent.

    Almost every single staining fault known to mankind is there. Every possible cause.

    All you need to do is… well, use it. 😉

    And, I’d bet dollars to donuts you’ll find out what it is and, it probably won’t be bog all to do with the water supply.

    Thanks Ken,

    I’m tempted to take you up on a bet.

    I know this section of the site well. I refer customers to it regularly because as I’m sure as you have also found, they don’t always believe you when you tell them it’s not the machine causing the stains.

    I wasn’t aware of anything in this section that relates to the dots refered to but on your advise have been through it a couple of times and still can’t find anything that helps.

    Which of the listed causes would you say this could be?

    Keith.
