Re: Beko CDA543F Defrost Timer, Have I Tested It Correctly?

Cheers kwatt items ordered from links that you posted. I have said it before that I am finished with ebay for any items that can be dubious. I definitely mean it now. Thanks again.

Re: Beko CDA543F Defrost Timer, Have I Tested It Correctly?

Thanks for the reply kwatt. Yes it’s new well used off ebay :rolls: It has been fine for several days then I noticed this. Whether it was already faulty when I bought it I have no way of knowing. Thanks for the help and the links, will buy both just hope that this cures it. It should do fingers crossed.

Re: Whirlpool W120 Washing Machine Will Not Spin

On closer inspection I found that the drum was actually not spinning at all again. I took the machine to bits and found another broken wire. Fixed the broken wire and everything is fine again 😀

Re: Whirlpool W120 Washer Stopping At Start Of Cycle

Thanks for the great help again Penguin. Also found another couple of wires that looked dodgy so replaced them. The machine is working fine now for no outlay and an hour or so of my time. Thanks again 😀

Re: Whirlpool W120 Washer Stopping At Start Of Cycle

I have just tested the continuity of the heater and it is around 24.2 ohms. Just below the 25 ohms mentioned. Is this a problem? I also found the heater element a bit stuborn to remove, I undone the 10mm nut, and managed to pull it out around one inch. Then it is obviously sticking due to the element being joined. I take it that the black rubber seal just has to be prised out? As I think this is the problem, there does not appear to be anything else retaining it, and surely I do not need to get access to the inside of the drum from the back? Sorry I am not that great with these things 😳

Forget what I said I found a broken wire like you said Penguin that goes to the heater 😳 Is the heater worth replacing anyway?

Heater and stats are on the front of the tub – remove front panel as when you did the PCB for access. Broken/burnt wiring most likely culprit, but heater can fail – should read 25-30 ohms.

Power off at all times, of course.

Yes it was program 5 the first time, then I have just tried it on program 2 with temp set at 70 degrees. Great advice 😛

Re: Whirlpool W120 Washer Stopping At Start Of Cycle

Probably is the heater or something to do with it as I have just watched it on a longer cycle with a higher temperature setting. The machine stopped 3 times during the washing part of it, if I clicked on the programmer each time it continued. The drum never got warm at any point 😕

Re: Whirlpool W120 Washing Machine Drum Not Moving

Cheers thanks for all the replies guys and great help. Fitted new brushes today and re-soldered the broken PCB joint and everything is fine now 😀 Think I may need a new interlock switch soon for the door as I sometimes have to slam it or give it a bang on the door and then it starts, but I can live with that until it goes. Thanks very much for the help it has saved me a fortune 8)

Re: Whirlpool W120 Washing Machine Drum Not Moving

Thanks for the great advice I already had the front of the machine off to get at the brushes without taking the motor off. I have removed the PCB and there are a few soot marks on some of the joints near the centre of the board, but the joints look ok, there is also a bit of soot on some of the tracks on the PCB. However there is one joint where a black box which I assume is a relay that is connected to that is totally gone see pic below.

By the looks of things this could be the problem? I will re-solder this and will also fit some new brushes, thanks for the advice great forum, will let you know how I get on 😀

Re: Whirlpool W120 Washing Machine Drum Not Moving

Thanks for the advice, but sorry for sounding like a total idiot but what is the module? Is this the programmer that you use to select the desired program? It is analogue on this machine as it is quite old. How do I tell what is a dry joint, is a new module expensive? Thanks for the advice by the way and sorry for being so stupid..

Re: Whirlpool W120 Washing Machine Drum Not Moving

Thanks for the advice I have taken the brushes out, but they seem to have a bit left on them although I am no expert. One is protuding out of it’s plastic cover by around 1.9 cm and the other about 1.7 cm. Obviously they push in on the springs when mounted so I do not know if this is enough. As when the bushes are gone are they worn down that much that they fail to make any contact? Sorry I haven’t a clue about this.
