Hey there, I've done some simple electrical work, but I'm no expert.
I'm installing a new LG 24 inch dishwasher (Model #LDT5678SS) with 120 volts and 15 amps.
The power cord provided is 5.4 feet which is too short to reach the closest outlet. I need a cord that is at least 8 feet. The last...
Trying to find a replacement control module for my Siemens dishwasher - its MPN is 00498444, see:
https://www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com/uk/shop-productlist/00498444
It's used in a variety of Bosch, Siemens, Neff, etc. models.
Unfortunately it is no longer available from any of the usual...
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted a little advise as my dishwasher is tripping my rcd only when its first turned on. When I reset the RCD it doesn't trip again and the dishwasher does its cycle. It only ever trips in the very beginning (30 secs or so) of starting the dishwasher.
The dishwasher is...
The heat pump on my Bosch dishwasher needed replacing (it was tripping the electrics) so I called out the repairer under an extended warranty. He said the machine was jammed too tightly into a space and a cupboard at the side would need dismantling to access it, which he would not do. This might...
I had a repair from a Service centre that I was obliged to use as it was still under Guarantee. The guy came to fix my dishwasher and seemed to struggle with removing the kickboards. I offered help as they clip on and off but he refused. After he left I discovered that he had snapped my...
It is a 6.5kW thermostatically controlled water heater if you ignore the rest of the gubbins.
So that would be a Purpose #6 for diversity ie: None allowed. = 28A.
But you could treat if like a cooker too. Purpose #3 ie: 10A + 30% FL current over the 10A. = 15.4A
What do you think?
Thanks
Hi I hope someone might be able to offer some advice to a DIYer?
So I've been using my dishwasher for years and only just noticed the cable is getting hot, enough to feel very hot to touch. Only at one point for about 3 inches back from the plug (a moulded plug)
I've read around and found the...
Hi
Every few weeks in the last 6 months the RCD has been tripping in my house. I narrowed it down to the kitchen because the RCD wouldn't reset if all sockets in the kitchen were on. If I turned them all off I could reset it, and if I slowly turned each socket back on one-by-one everything...
Hey,
Just got a new dishwasher and I went to plug it into it’s outlet and it’s doesn’t turn on. So I tested the outlet with the garbage disposal and it worked just fine. Tested a few other times and they all worked. I tried the dishwasher on different outlets and it worked on all of them.
How...
Now chaps,
Will a radial circuit on a 20amp rcbo be enough to power a washing machine, dishwasher, dryer and fridge freezer?
At the moment the radial has a 2 gang to power 2 appliances and a 1 gang to power fridge freezer, possibility of spuring of this circuit to power an extra appliance...
Hi,
I am totally desperate, looking for advice. With the Covid, nobody wants to come home to repair my dishwasher. It is a Siemens SN65E003EU/43.
I had a problem with the draining pump which I remove and cleaned. Once I plugged it back in, nothing happen and the dishwasher won’t start...
Prodis Dishwasher PRO30450 Timer Motor. Commercial dishwasher. I know that's terribly specific but I can't find anything anywhere on the net for this machine. Timer motor is defective. Keeps jamming mid cycle because gears are worn. So it only needs a motor. But I can't find either the motor or...
Hi all,
I am installing a new dishwasher. I am comfortable doing this wiring because my dad was an electrician and taught me general wiring. My question is, do you think it’s better to have an outlet under the sink or just hardwire it. It seams weird to me that code would allow an electrical...
Hi
I’ve just replaced my old Bosch dishwasher with a new Bosch one (SMV46GX00G).
It washes well and dries the dishes reasonably well, however the inside of the machine is always covered in condensation after the cycle, as the photos show.
I’ve been using the auto 45-65°C cycle, and I’ve tried...
Hi Guys
The image is connected to the plug on my Airlux dishwasher. It's blows now. I can't find it on line to get it for my electrician. If possible I would [refer to replace this before getting new dishwasher.
I have seen a replacement on Espares but it's not precisely the same.
Any advice...
Hi all,
I got a commercial dishwasher that is not working anymore. Normally when there's no water in the tank and boiler, the machine starts first filling it up with water if you close the lid. If I now close the lid, the machine is not taking water and is not filling. But the machine is...
This has no manufacturer's name, no rating plate and no CE mark.
Please does this mean I must fail it, although the PAT meter says
"pass"? I have inspected the flex & plug (sealed, 13 amp fuse, grip
is sound).
I'm sure its been asked a thousand times but I can't seem to find it.
Just moved into new house and plan on installing a compact dishwasher. Unfortunately there is only one socket available which currently has the washing machine plugged in.
How awful would it be to plug a 2-way 13A block plug...
I have a Dishwasher and Washing Machine (both several years old) both plugged into a 4 way gang. They are on a 16Amp RCD with other appliances also on the same circuit.
When both are turned on at about the same time, about 5 mins after turning on they will both turn off completely, as if they...
