Someone round here was collecting for Dementia UK so I hope that's a good enough one for you. I bunged them a tenner. Again, thanks Bob

Just replaced my D7 diode and it’s back up and running. Thank goodness for Bob putting in the time to diagnose the fault and also take the time to share his knowledge with us all on here. Legend.

Thanks for the thought much appreciated, please give to NHS or maybe help someone who really needs it. Thanks all the same, just glad it helped Best Regards Bob12241

I have a Bosch Serie 4 machine and have recently been experiencing similar marks especially on my duvet covers which have to be sprayed with pre-wash and put back into the machine on a rinse cycle which thankfully removes the marks. I have been cleaning the rubber around the door seal and lip of the drum every time I use the machine but the marks still appeared. However, today I removed the soap dispenser and the underneath was covered in black mould so I gave the dispenser a good clean with HG mould spray and I even cleaned the inside especially the top where the water enters with a tooth br

Thanks for your replies Andy. I will look into the electronic components to see if i can test any of them and find the problem, failing that i guess its new pcb time. but I'm not electronically minded so this is all new to me!

Let us know how you get on please.

That looks pretty severe. At that age it shouldn’t have anything dirty inside it. Washer dryers can cause marks when the laundry gets caught in the heating housing at the top of the door seal. Check around the top of the door seal where the hot air is pumped into the drum. Try using a clean cloth to rub all around to see if you can replicate any black marks. This normally happens if overloaded.

Chalk another success down to Bob! And genuinely, if I can do it then anyone can - I am the biggest electricity avoider, I barely can bring myself to touch something electrical even if it's unplugged and I'm holding the plug in my hand. 3 year old Beko Washer/Dryer stopped working, I googled what the problem was and came across this thread which listed the exact fault. I bought a USB soldering iron as advised on here, I bought the diodes (although ordered 5A by mistake, so had to re-order 2A) - I had the same issues getting the black box out as many on here had - every time I had to for

Hello Jamie. It sounds like it could be the motor that is making that noise. It doesn't sound healthy but there isn't really anything I could get you to check. I would get it checked out by an engineer.
