Has anyone successfully changed the Drum Paddles on a Hoover WMH147DF/2-80 Washing Machine. They are held in place by a single screw right on the line where the two Drum Halves meet, which is not accessible from the Drain Sump or Top Breather. The Drum also looks to be glued/welded together so...

For the benefit of others the replacement PCB kit for a Potterton Suprima 60L (GC No. 41-590-45) is 5111603

Thanks for the quick response MM. Yes it's an old unit though not sure of its age as the Year Box on the label is blank. Am I right in thinking the original PCB was a bare unit with separate Red and Green Leds and the replacement unit only has 1 indicator which displays red,green or orange...

Hi, can anyone tell me what the latest PCB Part No is for a Potterton Suprima 60L. Present PCB Unit is 5107117. Does 5111603 supersede this and is it a direct exchange for the 5107117 ?

2 Years on and several emails to Alpha - Still no response !!! Bumped into the Alpha Rep at Harrogate Plumb Center recently and he was clueless. He didn't know basic answers to questions about the products he was marketing. Left him my email address and he promised to follow it up with...

Does anyone know how the "remote telephone activation" is supposed to work on the Alpha Climatic Controllers (RF and hard wired versions) It is mentioned in the installation and user manual but with no further details. An email to Alpha didn't even get a reply from them.

Thanks Ian, I appreciate your help and comments.

Hi Guys, here's what I found. I adjusted the DHW Flow Valve to achieve a flowrate of 10 Ltrs/min. Setting the Hot Tap running would give an indication of 45 on the boiler and 55 If I turned the Stop Tap to the 9'o'clock position. If I turn the room thermostat and boiler CH Temperature up to max...

Hi Scatman, yes thats correct and thats only if I restrict the flow from the boiler. To recap, I've replaced the DHW Heat Exchanger, DHW Thermistor and fitted a Diverter Valve Overhaul Kit. I certainly can't get 11ltrs/min of hot water as Ian says I should be able to. At that rate it's just cold...

currently set at 3.5 Ltr/min to get warm water, any higher and the water gets progressively cooler.

At the moment its set as low as possible so that the flow switch can sense that hot water is required. I would expect the water to be scalding hot if the flowrate is set low but is only coming out lukewarm.

Having read through the forum on all the Linea 24 DHW issues I thought I had all the info I needed to repair mine. I replaced the Secondary Heat Exchanger, fitted an overhaul kit to the Diverter Valve along with a new DHW thermistor to find I still have the same problem :| When the Hot Tap is...

Hi Cross Chris, from what you have described, your problem is most certainly the Door Seal. If you take the door off and reseal the Seal you should be ok. Mine however is something else as the Door Seal is perfect and when it ices up the whole of the top grille is iced up from left to right...

Hi Big-All, If that was the case it would tell us to do that in the instructions ??? I've had a look and it does not mention a periodic "Turn off" for defrosting - Pete

CrossChris - Where is your Freezer situated ? Indoors or in a Garage ?
