    Hoover washer error E:03, pump working

    measured leakage on mains voltage, hot and cold. doesn't go higher than 2.7uA (microamperes). I don't think this order of leakage is likely to be detected by the control board. I am quite puzzled now. faulty control board?

    Hoover washer error E:03, pump working

    I could only find the rinse/spin programme. ran it twice, no error. next is to insulation-test the heater.

    Hoover washer error E:03, pump working

    BTW do you know how likely it is that the binary signal from the pressure sensor would go to an analogue input of the microcontroller? I am trying to make sense why the signal changes, but it can't possible be binary.

    Hoover washer error E:03, pump working

    thanks, that's very helpful. I will try to find the cold programme. you are right, I don't have the insulation tester. unless I lash something up... like a full wave voltage doubler, then use an ampere meter to test for leakage.

    Hoover washer error E:03, pump working

    I did check that the heater heats the water during wash. do you mean the heater NTC malfunction? thanks for your reply.

    Hoover washer error E:03, pump working

    no, it's not the pressure sensor. there's mains voltage on the pressure sensor and I measured it going from 230V to 0V when the machine is filled with water. it goes back when I activate the drain/spin programme. I tracked the low voltage signal that goes to the microcontroller and it goes...

    Hoover washer error E:03, pump working

    filled the bottom of the drum with water and blew through the pipe -- could hear bubbling. the issue remains. found the diagram for the pressure sensor and it doesn't seem to connect one contact (16), while switches the others (12/14). 11 is common. will replace and see.

    Hoover washer error E:03, pump working

    thanks for your suggestion jj4091, I will try that. I assumed that if the machine is quite new, there shouldn't be any gunk there.

    Hoover washer error E:03, pump working

    hi everyone I have a Hoover 8Kg DYN8144DIX washing machine that takes water in (the right amount), heats it, washes throughout normal cycle, drains dirty water as expected, but very rarely gets to the spin. in the very end of the cycle, just before it would start the spin, it shows error E:03...

    yellow stain bleeding through newly painted ceiling

    ronseal stainblock. it's not as white as the brilliant white emulsion, but works well. forgot to say that I diluted it slightly. the manual says 20% for porous surfaces, I did around 10%. was a bit paranoid I won't have enough for the room and the corridor.

    yellow stain bleeding through newly painted ceiling

    bought a water-based stain blocking undercoat for just over £20 per 2.5L. one coat, followed by one coat of the same emulsion as before -- perfect results. clearly not all water-based paints are the same. the undercoat is so tough, it took me a number of scrubs to wash the dried paint off my...

    yellow stain bleeding through newly painted ceiling

    any advice on what to use to seal this old plasterboard and prevent staining of new paint?

    JohnD, could you please elaborate why?

    yellow stain bleeding through newly painted ceiling

    good possible explanation JohnD. I guess we will never know. you would think the glue would penetrate the paper and stop it from absorbing water too fast -- this is contrary to what I am seeing now. will any water-based primer/undercoat/sealer seal it? how about diluted waterproof PVA...

    yellow stain bleeding through newly painted ceiling

    tried to photograph with two different cameras -- doesn't show. here's the photo of the original ceiling with the old paint peeling off. you can see that the paint is white and that the plasterboard is dark yellow. http://s8.postimg.org/iqegugpdh/ceiling.jpg as I was saying, even with...

    yellow stain bleeding through newly painted ceiling

    I can see that most stain blocks on the market are oil-based. is applying oil- or solvent-based paint on top of water emulsion not asking for trouble?

    yellow stain bleeding through newly painted ceiling

    I don't think it will be visible on a photograph, too faint. 8( I have a photo of the plasterboard before painting. 8( will this help to identify the problem? by mist coat do you mean diluted paint or diluted paint + PVA? I did not do either. 8( yes, it's not damp. the ceiling is very...

    yellow stain bleeding through newly painted ceiling

    hi guys sorry if the subject sounds familiar, I believe my problem is different from previous posts. I had a bedroom plasterboard ceiling painted by multiple coats of paint. when I started redecorating, I found out that the old paint was coming off in sheets -- so I took it all off. what I...

    fire varnish for use in the converted attic

    thank you for your reply dcdec. I was only asking about facings/skirting boards. the fire door is clear. I phoned BR at the council and they said that only the door requires special treatment (as well as being a proper fire door). skirting etc can be covered with normal varnish...
