Hi JJ For the record, it was the triac that drives the excitation coil of the motor. I desoldered it from the control board, replace it by a new one (£1.25 from RS ) and now the machine is back to its fully functional self! Thanks again for spending time looking at this issue! (y)

I suspect that the fault is in the control board too. Anyway, thanks for your help JJ! :)

No, unfortunately: the display keeps showing the remaining time and the program keeps on going as if everything was working fine.

Hello JJ Sorry, I might not have used the right terminology:(. Let's start again: whatever the program, the drum only rotates properly (at low speed as it is the wash part of the program) for a few minutes. After this period of time it goes into very brief acceleration phase (which it should...

I tried with the 40C program and yes, it did complete it (laundry was not great because of the lack of spinning though). I checked more thoroughly the speed sensor in the motor yesterday and all my DMM reading were fine: it is most likely a functioning sensor.

Hello again JJ Just did a 90C wash and I can confirm that the machine does heat up the water.

Hi JJ Thanks for answering. It does take water in, no problem. As for heating it up, I am pretty sure it does but I will double check tonight.

Hello ! I am the owner of a Bosch Classixx 7 Vario Perfect (ref: WAE24368GB) washing machine that got a bit temperamental lately o_O and I hope you can help me to fix it. Here are the symptoms: at the start of a wash program, the drum behaves normally. It spins normally for about 10 seconds...

Hi Tony Thanks for your post. Please let me know your magic formula to find a good plumber before you employ him for a job. It was one of the members of this forum. My boiler is now fixed. The description of the symptoms above are rigorously exact. Now, please demonstrate your 90%...

Hi Tony Thanks for your post. The last professional that attended my boiler for the same issue left it non working: he didn't reconnect properly the control PCB and was unable to diagnose a problem with the diverter valve rod not extending far enough to trigger the microswitch. I had to do...

Hi BlueMoonMole Thanks for your post. PCB was not changed for this issue but for a previous one. Microswitch does work: the behaviour of the boiler is exactly the same if I trigger it myself with a screwdriver. Diaphram was changed last year, so it is unlikely to be the route cause...

Hi My 8 years old Baxi boiler had been giving only warm water for the last few months. I thought the issue was the secondary heat exchanged so I had it replaced. Unfortunately, this made things worse: the water is now only lukewarm. The symptoms are the following ones: when hot water is...

Hi guys My Stove 9000GTF double oven has developed a fault. The fan oven spark generator doesn't work any more. The electrode does work (I checked it by fitting it in the top oven). I have re-crimped the lead terminal and checked that the resistance of the lead from one end to the other was...

I checked the diverter motor as instructed by Tony and it is fine. So I guess, unfortunately Shawd you are right: I have to change the complete diverter valve... :cry: Thanks for your help, guys: I really appreciate it!

Hi guys My Baxi Combi Instant 105e boiler doesn't provide very hot water any more. The problem is at the diverter valve: it doesn't close properly and allow some of the water destined for the domestic hot water network into the central heating network. I would like to make sure that my...

Thanks Paul. OK, I will buy a new one then. I just looked at it and it is going to be a hell of a job to remove it from the boiler:It is as packed as inside a digital camera in there. I wish they had put some kind of step by step illustration in the maintenance manual... Anyway, thanks...

Hi Paul Thanks for your answer. The boiler switches on and off when hot water is on demand. It is worth trying to unblock the plate heat exchanger or should I change it?(my boiler is 8 years old and where I live the water is very hard) If I try to unblock it, what is the best way to do...

Hi Tony Thanks for your answer. Could you explain how you carry out a thermal survey of the boiler? Cheers. FT

Hi Over the last few months the hot water produced by my Baxi Combi Instant 105e went from really hot to warm-ish. I can now get really hot water only when the flow demand is low. When I open up fully a hot water tap the water is warm-ish. The Central heating water is fine though: radiators...
