Something iffey going on. Manage to get behind machine and Switch mains plug off/on. Now All Switches operate OK. Assume other problem still persists.

Fault now, One segment of 1 LED permanently ON. Machine will not switch Off/On. Operating any of other switches does nothing. Previously no reversing wash/tumble action. Odd clicking/latching noise when attempting to reverse. Finally cycle completed.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding this Forum. Visits by 2 different CH Engineers did not solve my problem. I could find very little info about faults on Sime Format 30 HE Systems. Even with my 50 years experience as Electronic/Aeronautical Engineer I was aware of the sensible limitations of what I...

Ok I thought it reversed slowly at times to even up load. Difficult to say exact symptoms. Going through cycle, when washing, rinsing, pumping out, does not move in steps slowly, pulsate, and makes odd "latching attempt" noise. Spins OK. I guess I need to reconnect everything and try...

Initially system worked well. After about 12 months time delay to fire up when CH demand or Hot Water demand became very erratic (from 10 Secs normal to 1-2 mins to not firing up at all). Error indication Water Flow Switch or Limit Stat Intervention. Cleaned CH Water Filter..partially block...

WF740 Washing machine 4/5 years old. Normally used on F Program (40' non colourfast colours). During tumble portions of cycle drum rotation does not reverse, although sounds as if something is trying to latch, Switch ? Relay? Eventually completes program. Similar symptoms on Rinse ans...

Seems to work OK, Drum spins, but heater does not get hot. How can you tell, it is Thermostat Fault or Cct Board? What should be Resistance value of thermostat ?

Changing Bearing developed into bit of a saga. Drum out easy. Split Drum OK. Very difficult to remove bearings. 1st Set new bearings, outer diameter of outer bearing too small. 2nd Set new bearings, outer and inner diam of outer bearing too large. Supplier recommended new half outer drum...

I had not realised that it was a spring tensioned wire securing the seal to front panel. Actually bearing fault is on my daughters machine but we have similar model. I will progress problem tomorrow. Many Thanks Keith

Thanks, What is best way to remove front rubber seal.

How do I get to Bearing. Does Drum have to be removed

Advice please on replacing Drum Bearing. Do you just replace bearing or rear half of drum cover which I think carries drum bearing

Many Thanks to Harrys6 and Rocks1 for diagnosis of faulty Capacitor C17 on PCB at back bottom left hand side of machine. Switch off Power and remove Plug from socket. Remove Belt/Motor access Panel, identify PCB white plastic cover at bottom LHS. Remove small oval panel and then unit...
