I have been having issues with my bosch series 8 washing machine WAWH8660.  The machine kept beeping with error code 00 and 81.  I replaced the idos tray which seemed to work for a while.  Then a few days later the same error.  I opened the top of the machine and can see some dust on the wiring harness.

I cleaned this from the top as I was unable to work out how to get the cable out.  I would like to take the blue harness out and clean with contact cleaner but does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

I am a very technical person but not a washing machine engineer, I have a Hotpoint BI WMHG 81484 UK washing machine which is a few years old and is used a lot.

Just recently its started to be a lot louder when spinning make knocking noises, the washing machine is not hitting anything and does it with small and large loads as I thought it was getting overloaded.

What is the most likly issue? Shock Absorbers, springs or belt? I want to order the spare parts but dont want to buy parts I dont need as I have a tight budget.

Thanks

I have done some research and think perhaps it is the carbon brushes.  I have taken the back off, remove the electrics and the 2 front motor bolts but cannot move the motor at all.  All the videos I have watched seem to show a little pull and the motor is removed so I must be missing something!  The machine isn't that old, can't be more than 5 years.  Can anyone help?  From what I've read the motor should pull out by removing the front 2 bolts but it's just stuck and I'm wondering if there's something else I need to do.  I have tried to lever it with a screw driver  but am getting nowhere.  

I would be really grateful for any help/ideas about what it might be.  

Thanks in advance

The washer part partly works. 

When put on a dry cycle it drains, spins then stops, the motor hums and it skips the dry cycle and finishes the whole program without drying anything. The motor still hums but does nothing.

I've tried a new pump, pressure sensor and I've checked for blockages. I can't work out what it is. I've removed all the PCB boards and checked for damage and I can't see anything. Ive checked the wiring and I also can't see anything.

Could anyone send me in the right direction?

This fixed the issue however I now have a new one - 10 mins into the drying cycle it continuously lets water into the ducting and toward the condenser so the clothes get soaked in the drum. The washing machine intermittently pumps water away and cannot keep up with new cold water coming in which is presumably to cool the condenser.

I'm not sure if the valve is to blame or if there is now a new problem. Does anyone know if the water flow to cool the condenser should be constant? I have no way to see what the old valve did as I stupidly threw it away - it seems that once the cold water flow starts it doesn't turn off. I'm assuming the intermittent pumping of water into the drain is normal as it would pump the cold water away when it becomes too hot and isn't effective at cooling the condenser although maybe this is also part of the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have a Hoover-Otsein mod.  NEXT 3650T/1-37 When I run a washing program, whatever it is, 90% of the time I get the error E03. I checked the drain pump and hoses and are all OK. The other 10% ends normally. The small pressure switch tube has no water inside.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi I have just wasted 2 hours trying to get help for a hoover washing machine which seems to be called Clover as well.  When you eventually find their technical contact phone number they answer after about 20 mins. The person who answers is not technical. I expected him to help me as a valued customer especially as I am an electrical engineet and in a position of recomending  manufacturers all the time. I have an eror code E3 which means a blockage in the drainage system. I asked where this block might be and he said I am not an engineer. I asked for his manager at which point he started lying to me and eventually became the second employee in the technical elpline with no technicalknowledge who hung up on me today. I can on ly assume that thus is done to promote their call out service at very high prices.

Thing is, it seems to happen before the drum spins, and it doesn't seem to happen on every setting I use.

I've had a chat with a couple of washing machine service people and both have said that if it's the bearings it's better to just get a new machine.

Does this sound like it's worth getting looked at at least?

Thanks for any help!

I'm trying to fix a washing machine which started to hum and on the next cycle died. I found that the fuse was blown on the main PCB. After replacing it and testing all components (e.g. resistance) there was no obvious problem. I've connected the machine with light bulbs in series to the PCB at the input where the fuse has tripped earlier and entered test mode. All is good until machine enters to test #6, which is spin check (agitation) according to this article: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00092622/.

At this point the light bulbs light up for a fraction of second and the display disappears. (I can turn the machine back on afterwards.) I'm using 540W series lamp at 230-235 V which should let ~2.35 - ~2.30 Amps to flow. Since the fuse is rated T2.5A@250V I believe this should be enough to test.

The mystery for me is that otherwise the motor is running without any problem. Drum is spinning at maximum rpm (1400) on Rinse + Spin program (tested without rinse), drying cycle also works (I've tested the deodorization program for 30 minutes, during this program the drum has rotated in both directions).

All water valves and drain valve are working well, pressure switch is OK (machine detects if there is water and also if water is missing).

I found that the resistance on the motor is fluctuating between ~8.5 - 13 Ohms measured on BLU + WHT and RED + WHT cables (I'm not 100% sure about the colors).

Does anyone have an idea what else to check? Or can someone please describe if there's a difference between "normal" rotation and "agitation" rotation? As mentioned before, the drum is rotating without issue in both directions e.g. in case of drying cycle. I don't understand why it fails in washing cycle then.

Any ideas or explanations would be highly appreciated.

Model details: WM16XMJ00P/01

Here, MJ00P is the model number and 01 indicates the generation.

I purchased it around 2.5 years ago, which means the factory warranty has just expired. I’ve already tried the usual fixes, such as unplugging it for 24 hours and checking for any blockages, but with no success.

Symptoms:

The machine powers on normally and all controls initially work.

You can select and start any programme.

It fills with water and begins to spin as expected.

After exactly 35 seconds, it stops completely and becomes unresponsive.

Pressing any button only produces two beeps, and no new programme can be selected.

Even if you simply turn it on and leave it idle, it locks itself after 35 seconds, including the door.

The door can be opened using the emergency release, but the machine just continues beeping afterwards.

I’ve removed both the power and control boards to inspect them for any visible signs of burning or corrosion, but everything appears fine. Since I can’t find any other cause and Siemens refuses to provide help unless I purchase a new unit, I’m now stuck with a 2.5-year-old broken machine.

Hopefully someone could have an idea, or maybe already had experience with that.

cheers

Machine won't start, showing symbols as per subject matter headline.

The lock one stays on, the circular one goes off after 2 seconds.

Can't select any programme to change

Help 😆

Thanks

Hoping someone could help with a problematic Beko WY124PT44MW inverter washing machine.

Basically the machine will power on but the programmes will not work. Strangely enough when put on the cotton wash, the door will lock, drain pump will operate and then the programme will cease to progress any further. For any other programme the door will lock only and the  drain pump will NOT operate. 

I put the machine into diagnostics mode and test will display on the lcd screen however the diagnostics mode will not show any error codes nor allow me to perform the diagnostics on the machine. 

The door lock appears to be working,  the drain pump and element all appear fine and i even checked the drain from the bottom of the drum. Pcb board has been inspected and no obvious sign of damage. 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. 

I was doing cleaning of my washing machine and I pulled the drain hose out to drain water, but when I placed it back, it slipped through the hole behind the filter panel, I can't figure out how to open it up to place the hose through the hole. I would appreciate some help regarding it. Thank you very much!

I recently moved my washing machine out of storage after four years. It was working perfectly fine before it was put in storage.

At first, it ran it on a cycle and it kept coming up with an E08 error. After much troubleshooting and spending a lot of time watching the different cycles like hawk, I have narrowed the problem down to the following:

- the pump does not drain the water when the cycle hits the drain portion (there is no issue with filling the machine or the rinse portion of the cycle),

- when it hits the drain portion, the pump makes a crackly noise. I have checked the impeller when this happens and it is spinning,

- after pausing the cycle and manually draining the water from the front, re-tightening the filter cap and starting the cycle again, the crackly pump noise disappears and it is able to spin and drain the small amount of water during the spin cycle.

- I have manually tried a separate fill/rinse, drain (through the front) and spin cycles and they all work.

It seems to me that when there is a large amount of water during the drain part of a normal cycle, the pump is not draining for some reason and only drains when I have manually drained the water out and there is a small amount of water to drain during the remaining drain and the following spin cycle.

I have also tried spinning the impeller with my finger with the washing machine turned off and it spins with, what I've read, is normal resistance.

Any help would be appreciated. Having to set a timer to drain the water manually and then wait to restart the cycle is starting to do my head in. Thanks in advance.

Model: W5J6AMOWW

Looking (carefully) inside, there doesn't seem to be any fuses, other than in the mains power filter. Have checked that, but it seems good.

I can't see any main PCB circuit other than built into the display/control panel.

Does anyone have any experience with the LG machines?
Is it worth just buying a new display/control PCB to see if that's the issue?

Any help would be appreciated!

I have removed the fluff filter and there is no sign of objects or calcification. The pump vanes can be rotated by finger pressure and they give resistance and then flip rotate 1/8 turn or some such.

I have watched a number of videos on accessing the water pump, but all of the Bosch models featured have had a kick panel, and there is no such thing on my washing machine. I have removed two screws around the fluff filter, and the screw near the detergent scoop, and that had no impact on the solid attachment of the front panel. Following further advice from the internet I have removed the top, and now I am confused by what seems to be an array of attachments of the front panel to the body, and the screws are not accessible unless I remove the control panel, which does not seem to be a trivial exercise.

I would appreciate any help, direction, advice for helping me to resolve this problem, I have limited funds and need to fix this myself.

Thanks in advance.

Grateful for suggestions as to what to try next, thanks.

As per Zanussi it is a communication errors and I powered from fudge board and from wall socket still no luck. Could you please guide me with this? Thanks 

The door still will not latc correctly. Washing machine will not start due to this. No error code. Machine clicks 3 times attempting to lock but is then unsuccessful. 

Is there anything else I should be checking or is it time for a new machine?

Thanks in advance
