[newwave1]

Ooooooooooooooooooooh i see! makes sense. bet will try that on whites one day.

Yep certainly does go straight to 1000rpm which is fun

I couldnt believe how effective the cotton spin was on my sheets & whites load i did!

multi fabric

I wondered why it was flashing on the multi fabric and taking forever, of course without an instruction book had no idea of what it was doing.I've had to disconnect the fabric softner fill valve today cause the machines blowing the electrics with this connected. was in the middle of rinse cycle and we we're plunged into darkness lol. Blew everytime the on switch was pushed so i investigated. Its not the valve itself cause i've swapped em and it trips still so must be wiring or a circuit somewhere. Hope i can fix it but using 2 in 1 powder so not serious.

Electrics

Hi Steven

Yours is the 1300 Washer Dryer isnt it??

Check the wiring loom particularly near the heater box, there was a retro fit on these machines as there wasnt a lot of play within the wiring harness, and some wires where breaking and shorting with the stress, particularly if its been moved without the transit brackets etc..

Darren

What makes these machines sturdier than Hoovers etc is that the tub shocks are mounted to a rigid base. You can actually take the cabinet away and leave the drum mounted on the base, like the ASKO.

Hey Hey,
Sparkcymru: I had a similar experience with my hoover newwave washer/dryer. kept sendin me into darkness turned out it was the heating element on the dryer causing that...of which i need a new one. only problem i have now is it wont hit 1300...so i call it a hoover newwave 800 lol.

Mike!-Thanks for explaining that mike. that would explain why it balances perfectly pretty much everytime! i mean my hoover logic is really sturdy. But you'd think the quartz has a balance sensor the way it spins..very similar amount of vibration as my AEG 74640!

Also Is my quartz suppost to flash the wash light when its soaking on multi fabric? i thought it was broken! sent me into a panick lol!

nickuk!- hey thanks for the comments, heres hopin it doesnt give me any grief too! *touch wood* its gonna be fine. only thing is on the 2nd rinse of my whites load yesterday it decided it wanted to leak a little. didnt do it again though. what machine(s) do you have nick?

quartz flashing light

Darren yes my quartz has the light flashing on mixed fabric load too so thats normal.I'll get round to looking at the wiring this week to see what's shorting. will do some pics on Tuesday of it in action. Hafta come up to see your machines sometime Darren. I haven't seen a Hoover New wave in action and always wanted to.

Hi Steven.
Sounds like a plan. Its certainly fun to see it spinning the clothes at 400rpm with a tub full of water :-D i'm hoping to have it running right soon.

look forward to seein your pics

Darren

 

[newwave1]

Uh oh...Help me sum1? Mike may know...i got a fault code thrown up on the display of my quartz "2 F"? what & why is this?!?! it also showed end though i dont think it completed the cycle. I ran a seperate spin which was fine.

Darren

Fault Codes

Hi Darren

Codes are:

F1 = Water Temp Circuit Faulty

F2 = Machine Takes Too Long To Fill, Check taps on fully, check hoses are not kinked, house pressure may be too low.

F3 = Not Pumped Water Out, Faulty pump or outlet hose kinked

F4 - Motor running too fast or slow, press cancel and hold to pump water out.

F5 & 6 = Faulty Heater Circuit

Sounds like its not able to fill, what programme did you have it on??

Do you have both hoses connected, even with a Y piece if its cold fill??

Mike

 

[newwave1]

I've sorted it now. its my bad temporary garage plumbing...the drain hose slipped from where i'd postioned it, it'd been syphoning out for ages while i was doin other things lol. Yea i have them both connected on a y-piece. Its running beautifully. goin to buy a standpipe today. gettin annoyed with silly plumbin.

hope alls well.

another quartz fixed

Glad there was nothing terminal with your Quartz Darren. Looking fwd to seeing it on Sat.
I just fixed my Problem with the electrics blowing.I'd been running without the fabric softener valve connected to keep the machine running but have just dismantled it and unravelled the wiring loom all the way back to the control board. No easy feat! The live wire to the softener fill valve had rubbed against a retaining clip over the years and had finally gone through so was touching the metal cabinet and zap! tripping electrics. I've just cut it down and run the wire up the other side of the machine to the fill valve which is about 3 miles less cable lol. All working fine again.Now onto my Thompson twin tub repair. Thats a piece of cake!
See you
Steve

Gees u r clever steve!

Quartz

Mike,

Were there any Quartz 1/2 panels with 1300RPM? According to my brochure, all the Quartz piano key models, like ZodaWash's ex Quartz, now mine, were 04KG, 1000RPM models.

The only 03 models I know of that were 1300RPM models were the Sapphire AutoWash 6055, the AutoSelect 6065 & the Washer Dryer 9635, like mine.
