Thanks Cassius Seems the part I need is the air conveyor featured in the diagram for the Minor 4 or 8 burner, though it definitely says Minor 1 on the front of my unit. Fully appreciate where you're coming from on the nature of call outs - my father was a white goods repair man and has it...

Hi Cassius Thanks for the pointer but the part I'm looking for doesn't seem to feature on that schematic- this is the closest I have been able to find with a google search (http://www.heating-parts.co.uk/product.asp?prd=060699) Going to tell guy that boiler is locking out before calling...

Hi guys I have a Trianco Minor One S oil boiler that is locking out quite frequently over the course of the last few days. Planning to get a professional out to look at it in the hope that a servicewill go a long way to remedying the matter so not necessarily looking for fault diagnosis...

Thank you both - happy to go exploring this evening

Cheers I wasn't sure I understood the dry joint reference at first, and it must seem obvious that I was barking up the wrong tree completely, but I think I get the picture now. If I get access to the PCB is the heater relay joint easily spotted ? Does it differ from other connections to...

Thanks for that - something I can have a look at. What I did discover last night was that by pressing the two buttons on the control panel to end a cycle/reset the programme and then selecting a lower temperature wash (50 degree), the machine completed a cycle with warmer water and a hotter...

Hi I'd previously asked for advice about a Hotpoint Aquarius slimline dishwasher (model DC26S) that isn't heating water but is drying dishes at the end of the cycle. Have now realised that although the dishes are being dried, it is at a much lower temperature than the normal setting would...

Potential other causes then ? Thermostat ?? Something else entirely ??? Thanks Andy

Hi I have a Hotpoint Aquarius DC26 slimline dishwasher that does not seem to be heating the water on the wash cycle. It does seem to be generating heat during the drying cycle so I suspect that it may be a problem with the element ? Machine is 3 three years old and has been relatively...

Same thing happened me with a Hotpoint washer/dryer. One of the negative terminals had blown in the on/off switch so although there was power coming into the machine, it wasn't completing the circuit so it appeared dead. Can only advise that mine was a relatively easy replacement, even for...

I had the same problem with a Hotpoint washer/dryer - rectified by clearing a filter in the waste pipe where a sheet of Bounce, a coin and some other small items had collected. Didn't make sense to me when suggested (and still doesn't to be honest) but I checked anyway, found the offending...

Absolutely perfect - thank you Andy

Thanks Sleepyhead, I had seen that post in relation to replacing brushes if there was no spin - mine is still spinning, just not as well as previously as the clothes are more damp at the end of the cycle than before. As I'd checked the waste pipe filter and made sure the outlet wasn't...

Thanks Sleepyhead The door of the compartment actually opens sideways and there is nothing then to stop the tablet from falling out when the door is fully closed, but I appreciate the confirmation that this is normal operating procedure and not something that I need to be concerned with...

Hi I have the above machine and have noticed recently that the lid of the compartment that houses the washing powder/tablets opens quite soon after the wash commences, which results in the tablet dropping to the bottom of the unit. As stated above, I have only noticed this recently (when I...
