Re: miele dryer t8302 starts then stops after 1 min
please note miele dryers will not run without damp washing inside they will sense that and abort the programme
Re: Miele w3444wps flashing rinse button
Hi rinse light flashing normally indicates no motor action!
if machine is 10 years old its more likely the motor carbons or brushes have gone?Re: Indesit DIF 04
Cannot remember exactly? But think it was first and fourth light? Which I understood to be a heating fault? Found the plug connector badly burnt on heater contacts so I replaced heat pump part and rewired plug and the main wash pump motor as it was very noisy , I think I’ll check the pcb module sounds like that’s had it? Thanks for your help feels like a waste of time trying to repair stuff now
Re: Spot the difference. Or one of them. Simple pcb repair?
Had the same fault on a servis no motor but would fill and empty!
after an exhausted checking sending board off for repair! that turned out to be in the end as the motor built in overheat cut out on the windings oc!
Am i correct do i win a prize? 😀Re: Miele T230C Condenser – Doesn’t turn off
I,m just adding this for future info!! Please check the front fan mounted behind the grill at the bottom for any build up of fluff etc? You can just about see and clean it with a vacuum nozzle? As this will effect the running and performance of the drying
process.Re: Diplomat (stoves) oven
Had a similar problem! check fan motor, dead short on windings?
hope this helps
BRIANRe: Miele 524
Base of machine could be full of water either from a leak or when customer opened filter and a lot of water run out?
also make sure anti flood float and microwitch are working ok?
hope that helps 😉
BrianRe: Cpa1 gas
Oh dear!
I did read all you sent and much more till my head spun, i do take on board all the comments etc.Did not feel offended by anyone! just hate reading loads of red tape etc and wading through treacle?
And to add my local ACS training chap feels i dont need to do the Cpa1 but it will be part of the ccn1 next time i renew my certificates!Re: Cpa1 gas
I understand i dont hold the relevant certificates according to the gas safe info! But then why did they say i needed it when i went to renew my yearly subscribtion? And mentioned in this post that if i work on gas dryers then i need it? :rolls:
thats where i start getting a headache 😕
watch this space lol 😉Re: Cpa1 gas
Very confusing tho this subject 😕 I am still not sure lots of grey areas here? r600 let me know what gas safe say i also need to speak to them 😉
thanks BrianRe: Overuse of a Rangemaster cooker?
Its first fault was after about 11 months, and there has been at least one fault per month for the last 11 months. She’s had no end of trouble with it which is why I was going for the misuse angle. We sell loads of Rangemasters of all fuels and have never had this much trouble with one before.
She believes that because the machine has had, in her opinion, 11 faults some of which have been recurring then the machine is inherently faulty. Her ‘proof’ is the amount of faults in such a short space of time.
From her POV, I think she has a point – a £2000 machine shouldn’t break down with such frequency within the first two years.
Rangemaster won’t help beyond what they’ve already done, citing that the machine is repairable and that if we decide to replace the machine then thats up to us.
I didn’t intend to turn it into a commercial debate, more customer misuse, which rangemaster engineers that have attended the appliance have alluded to.
Re: Overuse of a Rangemaster cooker?
Thanks very much everyone.
I’ve just learned that two faults have not currently been rectified, going back to late August, one of which is an overheating oven and the other is door that apparently hasn’t been refitted.
Whether or not the customer has refused further repairs I don’t know, but at no point have Rangemaster said the machine is BER.As far as I’m concerned, whilst the machine develops faults which are then rectified FOC, then we’re gold, no?
My issue then becomes when the machine runs out of its extended manufacturers warranty and these same faults reappear. Rangemaster wouldn’t then attend to them FOC, neither would we and we could end up with a more difficult SOGA situation.
The point of the 14 people being overuse or not may not be relevent in terms of crying commercial, but surely has some relevence with regards fair wear and tear?
Re: Overuse of a Rangemaster cooker?
Cheers,
I don’t know who the 14 are, but it’s on a big farm so it’s possible they are all either family or workers, but they didn’t state to us that it would be used to cook for 14 people.
Rangemaster are unwilling to help us in this regard as the machine is not beyond repair and all faults have been rectified. Its the frequency of the faults that the customer is complaining about, stating that this proves the machine was inherently faulty at the point of sale.
I want to know if the machine is developing so many faults because of poor quality, or misuse, as that changes everything one way or another.
