    Incandescent light bulb BAN goes into effect next week

    Never had the problem with LEDS, but we had a CFL lamp in the landing light at the top of the stair for some time that would flash on every couple of seconds, or so for a while after it was turned off until the lamp cooled. The reason for that is our lighting circuits are looped in at the...

    Frigidaire Gallery unusual spider arm failure.

    I was reading about the causes recently, apparently it is usually caused by crevice corrosion. The spider gets coated with a layer of biofilm, detergent residue, lint and other grime as a result of poor laundry habits. The film traps moisture. Some types of bacteria can cause pitting, thus...

    Miele G5600 "Futura" Dishwasher Error Code F-24

    The F24 section of the manual does mention to check for resistance below a value of 10 megaohms (10MΩ) between the sensing lines on ST5 plug to the controller, although apparently the manual has got the plug number wrong according to some comments I saw, which said there was a circuit diagram...

    Miele W1215 Balance/Suspension Issues

    I'm no expert, but possibly one of the arms of the inner drum spider has cracked? If it is, I think miele may only sell the drum and spider as one part. There is a place in Ukraine that makes a stainless steel spider that supposedly fits it, although I'd imagine the shipping would be...

    Miele G5600 "Futura" Dishwasher Error Code F-24

    Hopefully the new relay fixes it, but if not this video came up amongst my youtube recommendations. It's German, but subtitles are available. He has a pressure valve with a leaking diaphragm, and the water getting in is partially shorting the normally open contacts, and causes an F24, he also...

    Speed Queen top-loader towels smell bad

    Coloured towels Being from the UK, top loaders and using chlorine bleach in a washing machine are alien to me, however I would have thought it would be better to use the relatively colour safe oxygen bleach plus a bleach activator with colours. I believe TAED works best at 40C+ and SNOBS needs...

    Miele G5600 "Futura" Dishwasher Error Code F-24

    Used ebay uk £13 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155917064048 I also had a quick search for causes of the F24 fault, most likely is sticking relay contacts, but if that doesn't fix it, I also found a few reporting it was fixed by replacing a faulty pressure switch, which had one of the contacts...

    £15 new for the standard relay version. Ok, so it is a rast 5 power relay 419 11 (ea/..) rast 5 is apparently a connector standard for cars. Found a datasheet on RS :- https://docs.rs-online.com/854d/0900766b80ea8a3c.pdf part no 4-1415419-0 seems to be the standard 12 volt coil version...

    Miele G5600 "Futura" Dishwasher Error Code F-24

    Yeah, I agree, I think the only way I can see a faulty pressure switch causing a F24 error is if water leaked into it providing a path to earth, then there might be enough potential from the earth connection to trigger the F24 fault when the heater relay was tested while open. At miele's silly...

    Cleaning Pockets

    I just check the pockets primarily for coins and keys and also for paper tissues. I once found the smashed up remains of a lost set of keys including a ~4" lever lock key with the end missing in my parents washing machine sump, fortunately back when machines still had a steel outer tub, so it...

    Miele G5600 "Futura" Dishwasher Error Code F-24

    I'm not sure about the wisdom of wedging a screwdriver in the sensor to test it as shown in that video, it might puncture the rubber gasket. I'd either blow in it, or use something blunt.

    Miele G5600 "Futura" Dishwasher Error Code F-24

    You would expect to get arcing since it is switching a few amps. A quick web search suggests that error can also be caused by a faulty pressure switch. See video If the relay contacts weren't stuck closed when you checked it, then I would be inclined to check the coil isn't open circuit and...

    Miele G5600 "Futura" Dishwasher Error Code F-24

    Relays failure is typically from stuck contacts caused by arcing, measure the resistance (or check for continuity) between the switch contacts 13 - 14, and also 23 - 24, those should be open circuit when the relay isn't powered. If they are stuck then a few gentle taps with a screwdriver will...

    Tide Clean Boost Fabric Rinse

    As I recall, from checking the MSDS of various descaling and washing machine cleaning products, that Bosch descaler actually is citric acid based. However one of its other ingredients is maleic acid, which I believe is a corrosion inhibiter, presumably there to protect the aluminium spider. I...

    New Microwave!

    There was a programme about microwave ovens on the Beeb the other day, it wasn't very good, but they did mention the Miele Dialog oven, which uses a combination of 915mhz microwaves and conventional heating and claims to be able to cook stuff like meat and veg perfectly at the same time. I think...
