Re: Ariston FV 37 GB Oven door removal
Ooops! Sorry… 😳
I was trolling the web for a while yesterday and got so chuffed when I found that video I thought I’d share it with you guys! But why am I not surprised that you’ve already got it!!! :):):):) I should have checked… 🙂
Re: Ariston Oven Door
Hi there,
I have finally found a small video which shows how to remove the door of the Ariston FV37 GB
http://www.bshappliancecare.com/Bosch/Bosch_47620.html
It is from the Bosh web site, but if you look at example 2, it is exactly the same hinges as on the FV37 GB.
The only thing was that the clip on my oven were so sticky I had to use a thin flat screwdriver to lift them.
Good luck!
David

Re: Problem with Whirlpool AWM 820
Hi Martin,
Does that mean that you disagree with SparkyP who says (correct me if i’m wrong): When you select the temperature at the start (Let’s say 60°C), the whole cycle should be at 60°C? (Or at least not going to a very hot cycle in the middle?)
Just to clarify what I mean by “Hand Warm”: I can put my hand on it, feel that it’s warm, but can leave my hand on it no matter how long.
What I mean by boiling hot is: I really cannot leave my hand on it for more than a few seconds, so the water inside must be VERY hot.So if I start a 60°C cycle (on number 3), I guess I would expect the door to be hand warm, but at no time boiling hot during any part of the cycle.
But it does: It starts on 3, looks all ok, but as soon as it passes number 4 the control of the heater must be wrong: the water gets way too hot.
Now what I was thinking is that one of the thermostats is not doing its job, properly but I can’t figure out which one…
Could it be that one of the thermostats has failed, let’s say the one which controls the lower temperature cycle, (the one marked 55 – 80) and what actually allows the cycle to carry on is the signal comming from the second thermostat (the one marked 45-95) as a sort of fail safe mechanism, but obviously, it means that the water has then been heated up enough to trip that second thermostat, ie 95°… which would explain the boiling hot water in the middle of that cycle?
Cheers,
David
Re: Problem with Whirlpool AWM 820
Hi SparkyP…
Well I’m totally confused now… because the temperature (as measured with my hand on the door of course) is definetly very different depending on where the cycle is.
(ie start at 3: between 3&4 – warm, then between 4&5 boiling hot, after 5 until end: stone cold).
❓
Cheers,

Re: Problem with Whirlpool AWM 820
Hello: Sorry for the late reply: I was away for the past few days.
Many many thanks for your inputs!
I’ll answer Dave’s question first: I’ve used cycle 3 (60°C) to make that test.
– Start of the cycle on No 3: Only cold water goes in (hand in drawer).
During the cycle the Glass door is a little more than hand warm (which sounds ok).
– 15 mins later: Cycle reaches No 4 (Cycle 4 should be a 50°C wash).
During that part of the cycle the Glass door is still boiling hot (Can’t touch it for very long).
– 15 mins later: Cycle reaches No 5 (Cycle 5 is a 40°C wash)
During that part of the Glass door becomes cold and stays as such until the completion of the cycle.
– Cycle goes normally through number 6 and so on until completion.Total cycle time (from start at number 3): 90 mins.
Raider6723: The heater element seems to be operating correctly (I mean it heats up the water, right?). The temperature though is way too hot for the 50°C cycle. So it must be one of the thermostats?
Can you give me any hints on how to identify which one? (as they are 2 thermostats).
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
David
Re: Problem with Whirlpool AWM 820
Hi Penguin45 and thank you for your reply and the tip for the heater.
I have not yet done it, but I will do that tonight (hopefully).
I know I’m stubborn, but as I was checking for leaks after putting the machine back together, I have done a few tests with different cycles:
With a 95°C cycle: glass door is REALLY hot, can just about touch it.
With a 60°C cycle: same as above: glass door is REALLY hot.
With a 50°C cycle: glass is cold.
With a 45°C cycle is cold.But everytime, the cycle finishes normally.
I think the cycle is way too hot for the 60°C cycle, hence why I wonder if there is a fault with the thermostats after all. I would like to test both of them (there are 2 side by side on this machine): But I have a few questions:
– How can I find out if they should be normally closed or normally open?
(When I did a very crude test before, I found that one was closed and the other was open at ambient temp. and vice-versa when in contact with boiling water).
– There is 2 temperature marked on them:
the first one is: 55-80
On the other there is: 45-95
What does it mean in terms of normal operation for the thermostats?
When do they open and when to they close?and last but not least, if I want to replace one of them, what information is required to make sure I find a match?
Any places/shops/Internet where you think I could find some?Again many thanks for your time and your help.
Cheers,
David
