Re: Bosch dw with detergent in salt container
Peter, Shouldn’t cause any lasting damage if the detergent is flushed out ASAP. Take salt cap off and flush loads of boiling water into the salt container so it overflows into the sump. Pump out and repeat till it’s empty, then refill with salt. Takes a while but it should be OK after.Had to do this a few times over the years. Wiz
Re: Bosch WTV74103GB/07 Tumble Dryer
Mike, pretty sure the electronics look at the combined signals from the two ntc’s. I’d be inclined to change the front one as I’ve had a couple causing intermittent faults recently(they’re only about a tenner). Wiz
Re: Hoover lower weights breaking up
I’ve had a couple of newish Hoover machines with loose lower weights recently, causing a noise on spin and cement dust on the floor underneath but none that have broken up. Don’t know the mod no’s but were both 8kg machines. Wiz
Re: Bosch WTA3003GB/01 Overheating Issues
Ollie, check that the motor start capacitor is ok. A weak cap can stop the drum rotating when loaded and cause safety to trip due to lack of airflow. Wiz
Re: Bosch WTE86304GB/05 F05
Update #2. After temporarily connecting an old Hotpoint thermistor(purely to test) have found front thermistor has an intermittent fault. New one on order. Wiz
Re: Bosch WTE86304GB/05 F05
Update. Have now been to inspect this one. Shows F06 within seconds of turning the knob. Have checked overheat stat, wiring, heater, motor, pump and all wiring, all of which are ok. Meggered everything individually, all OK. Front thermistor reads 15.3k and rear 30.3k at room temp. Tried diconnecting each component from the pcb and still get F06 unless front thermistor disconnected when its F08. Occasionally can get it to run for a few seconds but then reverts to F06.
Anybody think of anything I’ve missed before I tell her its BER (pcb is 230 + vat)? Thanks Wiz.Re: Bosch WTE86304GB/05 F05
Martin, just asking a valid question. You know as well as anybody else that some of the newer Bosch washing machines have to have a fault code reset, so it could be the same for this dryer. Trying to be prepared and not look a tit in the customers home. How would it know that it has had an overheat when you first turn it on ? If it’s knocked out a safety stat, fair enough, but I’ve never yet come across a dryer that will have the ability to read the status of a stat, these machines set temps with thermistors which more than likely have given the overheat so, hence my question about a reset as the thermistors will be cold, not at an overheat temp when you first switch on, so it may lock out once the fault has registered.

Re: Bosch WTE86304GB/05 F05
Thanks Paul, is there any reset procedure for the fault code ? She says it won’t even start a program, just displays F06. Thanks Wiz
Re: Bosch WAS32466GB/09
Johnny, sounds like the child lock is set. Check the user instructions for lock/ unlock procedure. You can download the manual at bshcustomerservice.co.uk
WizardRe: HOTPOINT FRIDGE
If that’s the one with the stat in the front edge of the lid then it’s most likely that the plastic liner has become detatched from the evaporator. The end of the thermostat phial will then not be touching the evaporator and therefore running flat out. Push on the liner on the back wall and see if it feels springy or is bowed(you may have to defrost first). If it is then its a scrapper. Otherwise, if anybody’s been at the stat wiring then check that. Unlikely to be the stat itself, they normally fail O/C. Wizard.
