i've only had to repair one of these with the same symptoms. on that occasion it turned out that the door lock had shorted out. i replaced the lock to discover that it still did not work. i then removed the lid and accessed the circuit board to discover that the door lock had blown a track on...

parkinson cowan and moffat come under the electrolux group. look for your local serviceforce centre or distriparts. i'm pretty sure that cookers are made in newton aycliffe county durham

i still don't trust the genuine laminated ones although my supplier has assured me that the problem has been sorted.

professionally i always replace the fan no matter what the problem, they are a lot cheaper than 51 quid. however it would be fair to say that a diy person should consider this. if the bearing(bronze bush ) is worn then it's best to replace the fan. if it's gunked up the dismantle it and give...

it's my turn to ask for help please. a mouse chewed the hose from the spray pump which meant water all over the electrics inside. ( a fault i've fixed for many of my customers). however having replaced the hose and dryed out the electrics. and individually tested the heater and the spray pump...

drain off as much if not all of the water. switch off the machine. carefuly lay it over on it's side. (soap box down over). you will see your pump attached to the cabinet with 2 x 8mm screws. there will also be two yellow wires. ( it doesn't matter which way you refit them). remove the...

there have been problems for the last year with genuine hotpoint carbons overheating. i.e. the plastic holders were made of a less heat resistent plastic. however if you have tried different types of hotpoint carbons then you should check this. it is well known in the trade that a partially...

the device you are describing is a combined fill and drain unit. fido is right to say that it acts as an aquastop device. irrespective of what it looks like it should still be connected to the water supply and the drain simultaneously. when you get rid of your machine this whole apparatus goes...

this machine has a dual heater 2x700watts. if you remove the lid you will fid that on the rear of the heater box there wil be four terminals i.e. two pairs. remove the wires remembering where they were and test for continuity betwen each pair. if fido is right then you wil have open circuit on...

the yanks are more litigious than us. in some states an appliance installed upstairs must be stood in a drained out tray in case of a leak. good idea i think.

if this machine is les than 5 years old you should have got hotpoint to fix it. they'd have installed a whole new drum any any other parts for £95. if you can blag it then you could try them now. or alternatively your local dump site may provide a machine with goosed bearings but good everything...

avoid a frost free. they can be a nightmare. if your fridge is cooling then it may not be the gas. if so then activated charcoal may remove any lingering smell.

you could by pass the 185c cutout to try and see if it works. of course if it does then you must replace the cutout because a fault else where could be the cause. simply remove the two connectors and safely join them together.

i fixed one of these the other day. i decided to ignore the fault code and go for the usual probs. simply by cleaning out the hose from the metering tank to the sump the problem disappeared and it's working fine.

a wierd smell is usually a leak of refridgerant, or a left over curry. if it's the first then it's probably not worth fixing unless you can trace the leak easily. if it's the latter, put it in the microwave and enjoy.

it is possible that it could back fill. however legislation demands that a dishwasher should have either a non return valve in the drain line or an air break. to check the valve simply turn it off when not in use. if the machine continues to fill then it must be back filling. back filling from...

you should have checked the stats first. if it's the model i'm thinking of there will be a 185c cutout towards the front of the heater box. if you ned to replace any stats then get them from your hater supplier.

take the drawer out and look to the top side of the soap box housing. the water ways in there are sometimes prone to blockages which can "squirt" water into the adjacent compartment. gve it a thorogh clean and even poke something flexible like a cable tie into the holes to dislodge any gunk.

if you are sure that the fan is rotating at ful speed, then try this but be careful. set your machine on a drying cycle but don't shut the door. instead you activate the lock with a small screwdriver or similar. the machine will now start up. open the door and hold a hand just beneath the 12...

why has no one replied to this? take out your lower basket. remove the lower spray arm. remove the grey pre filter. to the right side there may be a dome with a screw in the middle. remove the screw and the dome. inside there will be two blue pipes and a little black one. noting where...
