Re: Electrolux EWX14450W
if it fills continually does it completely fill the drum to the top? (pressure circuit fault somewhere) have you checked the drain hose is not too far down the waste pipe and causing siphoning?
just a thought wilf
Re: Ignis AKL898/wh static oven tripping
not had much trouble with these except for the base element. if it’s tripping the MCB it looks more like LN short. disconnect from supply put ohm meter on and turn the switches to see
good luck

Re: Jerking LG
I wondered about the carbon brush comment but I did check before I posted, it came up as direct drive so hall sensor.

Re: Belling 100DF 444445412 thermostat
had a similar thing a few years ago on an Indesit turned out to be a mechanical fault on the selector switch, a piece of plastic that held the sleeve that forms the socket for the thermostat had broken away. you could only see it with a magnifying glass.
hope this helps wilf
Re: cheap skate or clueless
I’m with Martin on this, you spend £180 on a Indesit 1200 chances are, under normal use, four years of clean laundry. Argos knocking out the Bush to thousands of cash strapped families and doing sterling service for them. all this for less than a quid a week. Even if they could afford to spend more would they? Why should they? The younger generation buy online and for the most part dont repair, they might look on youtube for a quick fix but if that fails to come up with the necessary its lob it out and replace (with free delivery) Top end fridges or cookers might still hold some measure of status but the mass market stuff is now no longer going to provide us with a living, it’s better made and cheaper than its predecessors. Think 25 years ago Hotpoint 95’s four hundred pounds plus to buy and yearly repairs carbons, boots, bearings, pumps, heaters, springs etc.
Expensive is dead long live the cheap disposable!!!!!!!!!!

Re: SPEED HUMPS — AHHHHH
got them in our street, oh what joy. boy racers slow down rev up, lorry load of scrap crash bang, through the night deliveries going over them at high speed bouncing you out of bed. they serve no purpose at all except jobs for the boys.boys who should be made to live near them. if you want to slow traffic put up a speed indicator. anyone who drives at silly high speeds in a built up area or uses a phone at the wheel is a prat! new technology could help but I doubt that automatic speed controllers of phone blockers fitted as standard to new motors would be a selling point but it might help to get rid of these irritating humps

Re: Heat proof wiring for ovens
you should be able to pick up 1.5mm high temp wire fairly easily as for connectors / spades I always use high temp steel when connecting to elements as softer brass or copper soon burn out due to conducted heat. Try connect ELE7580
