Well how time flys So over 11 years of superb service later and the LG 14225 washing machine finally broke down for the first time last week, £15 for a new hall sensor off the auction site soon got it back into action, hopefully for another 11 years! The machine breaking down popped this site...

Hello I had to drain down as the old valve was not the type that allows you to stay dry :lol: I removed complete valve assembly for inspection, motor not working (buzzing) looked to be a slight leak into motor and also on gasket face, nylon? ball looked very worn as did the microswitch...

Well I said I'd report back :wink: 22 months in, washing machine has and is performing fantastically, the only thing of note is a very occasional attempt at spinning an uneven load, which is acompanied by a most bizzar sounding sucking noise :lol: The machine simply stops when this...

Just a small update. My father managed to come over and assist by turning room stat up and down (programmer on/heating only) while i observed, the motor on the valve never budged. I will drain down (yep just my luck) and remove/repair/replace valve tomorrow. I'll let you know how i...

Thx for all the help so far folks :D Breesey, i checked the voltage at the box not the valve, as i pysically cant get into the valve because of access problems. I appologise if i've done it wrong. Also i cant see if the motor rotates as thermostat is downstairs and the rest is upstairs...

Ok, just checked and have 230v supply to wiring box, I take it you were both correct in diagnosing a duff 3 port motor then? :wink:

And just when you need your circuit tester! Yup I off to being screwed for it :lol:

Am i correct in thinking, if I pushed the lever over to manual and hooked it under the 'tab' so it stays there, should the boiler not ignite though? as it does not atm.

I just did it again, pushed lever to off/manual, pump started, ran down stairs boiler fan was on, but no ignition, just the fan and pump running. Went back upstairs and lever had moved back to half way between auto and off/manual by itself, is this ok? Went back downstairs and boiler is...

Hi Breesey I pushed the little leaver over to off/manual (it was half way between auto and off/manual) and the pump started, ran downstairs and boiler is still asleep. Ive put the lever all the way back to auto, is this correct? Hot water still working fine. Thx Andy

Any help would be great Worcester 9/14 cbi boiler Honeywell st699 programmer Honeywell room stat Straight to the point, boiler not operating when heating required, have turned boiler on/off, re-set programmer, checked fuses/connections, all good. Programmer heating light illuminates...

Have a look at this thread. //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=41249&highlight= I've got the WM-14225FD and so far it's been absolutely super. Big drum, very very quiet, very simple to use. Washing is noticably cleaner and drier than before too. I've only heard one spin...

Could anyone confirm that the recess route is feasible. Also looking at how that boiler is connected, I doubt it was corgi certed, how do I find out?

That sounds a most excellent idea. Anyone else care to comment on this? can it be done ok? Here's a couple of piks of the offending pipe http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/BALLISTIX_/gaspipe003.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/BALLISTIX_/gaspipe001.jpg And this is...

Thx, the reason I wanted it in the cavity was so I could push the washing machine as far back to the wall as possible so it did'nt stick out from under the worksurface. Dont like the idea of the washing machine possibly rubbing on a gas pipe either :shock: Obviously with where the...
