Thanks 'Oldbuffer', I certainly will try the washer idea, though the threads are probably so far gone that I won't raise my hopes. One thing about using this site is that it does seem to get me thinking; what I really need is a tap and die to the kind of spiral thread (i.e very coarse) used by...

Replacement tap £500 if same make.

Hello all. My Horus taps need some refurbishment: the biggest issue is that the threaded valve stem is jumping the threads of the stem nut. This can cause a sudden outpour of water or eventually next to little or many turns of the knob before flow. Although a small item there would be several...

A few final observations: With the 'on' switch made and the door latched and the door interlock (3 brown cables) disconnected the spare machine shows (like mine) 240v to the electronic unit 140A and the fourth of this set of four has 240 return to the switch pcb. At this stage it is not...

Many thanks for last advice. I obviously am concerned when not repeating the fault sequence that I have not really identified what went wrong; but if after today I don't get further then I suppose all that can be done is to rely on the fact that the more the machine is used and remains fault...

Many thanks for the comments so far. Just to summarise and hopefully garner more thoughts, swapping of the EPW 900 has appeared to solve the problem of multiple and erratic operations and inability to cancel the finish alarm except by pressing the on/off button. So far a full wash cycle was...

Yes, a transducer. But, my guess is that it's the selector for the various wash cycles but certainly heaters coming on and drain pumps running with alarms was quite a spectacle until my board replacement. I presume that all this has been replaced by solid state in later models, although I...

Thanks for the above replies. So here comes the detail: I noticed that there was no spin cycle during the rinse stage and also at the end. It was not possible to turn off the machine and the 'finish' alarm continued. By opening the door and closing it a bit more forcibly the led went out...

This pcb includes the level/pressure switch and the selector switches for the wash and drier options. A fault developed where many options were introduced out of sequence etc. Has anyone sourced a replacement level switch or worked on this pcb? Many thanks.

Sorry John, that last reply was in response to someone else who wanted more information on the multimeter. So, thanks for the advice. The fact that mine reads direct DC, and ohms and low values of ACV etc. suggests the fuses are OK. So, I am likely to use a calibration and repair outfit...

Thanks for your reply, it's a Fluke 73 do you need any further info. Regards Dave.

Hello all, anyone have any advice re: loss of AC measuring on Fluke 73 other parts seem OK? Many thanks.
