WM emptied of water - good old gravity! RE The PCB fault, I am concious that the the same fault is present on this recon PCB as the previous PCB. Is that just bad luck, or could a component failure or wiring fault elsewhere in the machine cause this to happen? On a general note regarding...

OK so ordered the EMW recon PCB, fitted it but same fault (third light down on, horizontal lights flashing). Looking at the list of fault codes that came with the PCB, this is F18, but same diagnosis as rocks1 pointed to - "fault on control board, check Eeprom". However, I have the top of the...

Just to rule whether 1 minute vs 5 minutes yields the same or different results, then yep. But then, no - exactly the same result as unplugging for 1 minute. Thank you, that answers my question. Had I noticed that the Start/Pause was also flashing, then the answer was already available in...

Er, see my second post... With all due respect Yardie, I have asked a specific question regarding the fault code as per the thread title, but have received nothing but generic responses, which puts me no closer to having a working appliance. So if you know what the fault code is, now might...

...the lights are flashing and I can't start a program -the machine accepts no input via the buttons or dials. The cycle previous to the fault was a wash cycle that completed, so nothing to cancel. As per the title of the post, what I really want to know is what fault code does the...

The lights start flashing as soon it is switched on, can't start a cycle as lights are already flashing. Any idea where I can find a list of the fault codes so I can narrow this down?

I should have added that the switch off for a minute has been tried, but no joy with that. Question is, is it a PCB fault? PCB is out and capacitors look ok. Had similar problem couple of years back and had to go with new PCB after DIY C17 repair failed. So if it is PCB time again, will...

Hi all, I have the following combination of flashing lights on my Hotpoint WDL540: Can anyone confirm what fault code this relates to? Many thanks, Mal

The electrician offered that point which seemed at odds with the original reason as to protect cable from overload from appliances. But there will be the visible safe zone (unlike the "in-cupboard~wall socket" solution), mechanical cable protection and RCD. Anyway I find out in a couple of...

The switches will be more or less directly above the unswitched sockets, as much 3-4 switch face plate can be over 3-4 individual unswitched sockets. The switching order would match the socket order, and appliances next to one another. I can understand if I had requested say double socket...

Hi all, I am having a new kitchen fitted and am looking for some advice on appliance switches above worktop. I have come to somewhat of an impasse with the electrician regarding this and would like to clarify what can and cant be done. I would like to have switches above the worktop for...

Such is the pace of my DIY endeavors, the loft is still not boarded... I have kind of abandoned the idea of counter battening, opting instead to board (T&G chipboard) directly to ceiling joists to minimise the extra weight. The the issue remains of the uneveness in the loft, but the majority...

Have had a look at a few online span tables but they are from a new build point of view - the minimum joist height is an extra 10mm than what I have and is structural timber. So I know that the load my joists can take is less, but not how much less... The main part of house is about 6 metres...

Hi all, My house is a 1900's terraced house and I am looking to counter batten across the joists in my loft and board it to provide a level surface for light storage. I have a couple of questions that I would like to clarify before I start buying materials. The existing joists are 3 3/8"...

Thank you for the reply Reg. There doesn't appear to be any sagging of the joists, though I have been meaning to get a laser level for ages... The construction of my roof appears to have the joists directly on the external wall without a wall plate, then a cross timber above the joists...

Hi all, I am trying to install a dishwasher to the same waste pipe as the washing machine and need some advice. Currently the washing machine waste goes into a stand pipe/ p-trap arrangement, the trap having compression fittings for 40mm pipe at both inlet and outlet. I figured that I...

...I guess that is a no then on other ideas for faults?! In which case, does anyone know of a supplier of refurbished power boards? Thanks, Mal
