I’m a technical kinda guy, doing technical kinda stuff.
There should be some basic protection for the element in case there is no water, because there’s a possibility that there would be no water , and there’s also a possibility that your dishwasher would catch fire if the element is turned on with no water.
So when you’re looking at the heater element, check that there isn’t a thermal fuse nearby and check that it hasn’t blown.
Possibly your new element will have it incorporated but maybe not.
If you occasionally boot to windows, it’s known to leave NICs in an unusable state if you just hibernate/quick power off. You need to boot back to windows and so a “proper” shutdown for it to come good.
Consider yourself corrected then. I’ve skimmed your comment history. Your go-to insult is “bootlicker” or alternatively, a simple clown emoji. In your comments you seem to provide very little context as to why you think that, it’s just, “I deem you to be a BOOTLICKER! Next!”
So maybe a little guidance for you:
The very, very, first thing you do when dealing with perceived propaganda - be it on mainstream media, online, or wherever - is to remove all the emotion and insults and see what’s left. You know what I see when I parse your comments like that? Very little.
Thus I conclude you have nothing of importance to say, and you become background noise that gets tuned out.
Actually your comments do have some small value. I check your bootlicker-comment-score and if it’s greater than 5, I know the community you posted in isn’t worth my time.
“Akshually”, so do you. You had a chance to discuss and inform, and instead you went straight to “bootlicker”.
Do you think they’re going to take any notice of whatever you say from here on?
Samsung front loader washing machine here.
It is generally musical while selecting program options. It sings a little song when finished, which is only after it unlocks the door. The little song only plays once. The little song can be changed to other tunes by subtle and undocumented button presses.
After about 10 minutes it plays a few notes while turning itself off that are easily recognisable as the notes it plays when it turns itself off, so if you miss the first little song, once you hear that you know it’s definitely finished. After that it is done. No more door locking shenanigans or tumbling or clothes.
Generally I use the “sportswear” cycle which is about 1 hour, my clothes are generally not that dirty. Sometimes I treat towels / linen to a hot cotton cycle which is 2.5 hours and a 90 degree (Celsius) wash.
Had it for 10 years now, no mechanical or electrical issues. I always leave the door ajar when finished and once every few months I do a cleaning cycle.
I also have a Fisher and Paykel dryer. I have owned it for 8 years, in which time it has needed a replacement drive belt as it gets used heavily. The bushes on the drum need replacing soon, but I just turned it upside down so it will last for a while longer
Regarding your door issues, well that’s because idiots try and open the door during a load, and then when it’s locked, they turn it off and still try and open the door. They subsequently complain about the water going everywhere. Don’t forget that manufacturers have to deal with the lowest common denominator end user.
Awesome! You are lucky, some of those devices don’t have a reset - they are just like a fuse and once they are blown they need replacing.
Good to hear it’s all working again, and at least now you know for next time!
