Re: Hoover AM120 stopped mid cycle

It wasn’t the door interlock, after staring at it for ages I realised it works by trying to close the switch when powered on, the latch with an open door stops it, when you close the door the little black arm drops down and stops the latch being opened, if power is removed then it stays locked untill it cools down then lets you open the door, f’in ingenious….

It is controlled by a fet on the module which tested ok so that left the processor on there, as power ( +18 -18 ) was present and a scope showed clock signals I gave up as I’ve no more info.

A recon module off the bay of E got it going again.

What was wrong with the old design with a timer full of contacts ? much easier to fix.

Re: Hoover AM120 stopped mid cycle

Thanks, before I get a door lock, are there any other ‘lockouts’ ? e.g. overheat or pressure that would stop it running with the door lock light on ?.

Looking at the picture on the spares link you sent I think a bit is missing off my switch which is why the latch no longer touches the actual switch.

Re: just bought our first dishwasher

Supplier rang Sat morning to say it’s out of stock. Found out later when it arrived! that it was out of stock due to the driver picking it up before the supplier rang to check……….. driver said he’d had to ring all the drop offs in advance to make sure they’d still be in. The earlier call to say it wasn’t coming was from “expert logisitics” , hmmmm ?

Anyway, as Penguin45 said, it does come with a black poly hose that feels like it’ll last, although it is a bit stiff and narrow and wouldn’t stay in the 15mm pipe clip I’d attached to the wall near the tap. The concrete weight under the lid was split but I doubt it’s going anywhere, oh, and the black bitumin coating ( soundproofing ? ) on the back was a bit molten looking near where the drain hose exits.

Thought it was ok though for £287 inc saturday delivery and 2yr guarantee.

Re: Zanussi ZDF121_WH door won’t close

Rang Zanussi as it turns out to be less than a yr old, all was going well till I gave them our address, there is no guarantee as it’s being used commercially, we are a software company not a cafe…….. they wouldn’t back down and say we have to pay for the repair. Should the seller have told us this at the point of sale ?

Any good engineers in Manchester area then ?

Re: Hoover AM120 washer – bra wire in drum

As luck would have it, it stopped after sat morns wash still in contact with the drum, I managed to get the end through a hole using a very fine pair of tweezers then long nosed pliars pulled it through. Bra’s are now banned from the washer…………….

Thanks for the replies.
