Just came across this, only a few days old. Some rather current Hisense dryers have an issue with the wiring to the compressor potentially overheating. Thus, this recall. I doubt many on here have such a model - but better safe than sorry. This goes to the recall pdf from the Hisense UK website.

Could have been an external automatic dosing system.

That's what the removable filter is for. Sometimes, it's literally called a "coin trap". Things can make it past that and very rarely do. But again: If you don't check your pockets, don't check the filter regularly, at some point, something will get past that. It's a numbers game, really...

When I hear door seal issues or something getting stuck in the pump, everything in me screams user error. That's just to close to the typical "slam it packed full and never checked a pocket once" user attitude that so many machines exhibit. I think many know whichwasher2007 on YT, and his...

4-5 times a week is considerable usage, but not out of the ordinary. That's something like 250 cycles a year, about 500h a year lets say. That's 5000h at 10 years. There was a certain time range where heater failures every 5 or so years was common. AEG had a similar streak around the same...

I don't know the regulations regarding gas household tumble dryers, but both regular condenser and vented tumble dryers will soon be effectively outlawed anyway with the new energy label by the EU. Similar to fridges, for now, any label is allowed. Unsure of the exact date, but next year or the...

That is incorrect. The best Idaho ever did was 2/3 renewable. Droughts reduced the percentage of hydro power in the past decade. In 2024, just shy of 1/3 was natural gas. Add to that that as far as I understand, hydro power potential is utilised about as far as possible and that electrification...

Would be better to start a new thread for something like that and to state more details on the machine, specifically E-Number with these Bosch DWs. Otherwise hard to tell what specific part you might need.

https://www.maytagreplacementparts.com/PartDetail/Maintenance-Kit/4392065/587636 If you don't want the original because it's to expensive, googling the OEM number results in parts as low as 17$. Though I don't know if that retaining clip you mentioned is included...

Here in the EU at least, before I would get a Vestel made machine, I'd get a Midea one. They are very cheap and parts can be a bit weird to get. Their EU FLs have some choices in construction that are really strange indeed. For example, they use inverter motors where the entire inverter...

Sorry, currently somewhat distracted privately. Unfortunately, I currently don't have access to my mums DW and the corresponding HomeConnect App. I know that here in the EU, there's "Intensive" which is the preset program you access through the button on the UI. That's probably your Heavy...

It's really only one series of DWs where I ever heard of issues with diverters - and that's some WP built US designs. It's not that it never happened - but it's exceedingly rare. It's just a small, synchronous motor and a few switches. And that's basically all you need to save 30% or more in...

That almost gives me hope Haier's gonna launch something like this over here. Samsung brought their combo here - maybe LG and Haier follow suit? I really like that this has basically fully featured detergent dispenser PLUS AutoDose. Question is if these have recirculation? Or some kind of...

It's no longer first thing in the morning - so I decided to check If I'd find a Vestel machine on Australian online retailers. There was a much more low end Vestel made machine for about 700 Aussie dollars. But that was about it. That machine in the original post is pretty much TOL. The...

There's no such thing as a heat pump dryer with both filters and self cleaning - at least not in the EU. And again: If you don't take care of your stuff, it will clog up. It's not like it's a law of physics every heat pump dryer - regardless of self cleaning or filters - will clogg up. Have...

Those are Vestel made machines - the controls are a giveaway.

Forgot to add: - Even if components look the same, suppliers or specs of certain components as well as PCB manufacturing specs or even stuff as invisible as solder profiles might be enough to warrant a technical revision and part number change. Currently working on some areospace data and stuff...

I don't think you'll find board level schematics for such a device - that's way to close to "trade secret" for any manufacturer not to go after. However, SQ is pretty upfront about what the fault is. I'm not an electrical engineer, just an engineer, but given the fault appears to be with the...

The plastic bottom BSH DWs were introduced some time in the early 2000s I think. Back then, those DWs easily lasted 10+ years. However, a not to small number of the plastic bottom machines developed leaks around the joint between the stainless steel upper half and the plastic bottom of the...

The current Askos are a weird hybrid of many things. Many of the programming choices are very Gorenje esque. For the good and the bad. The dryers are basically just slightly upped Gorenjes. The washers base designs are still very Asko like. But with very weird choices: Asko now has...
