Hi All, I've a problem with my Miele premier 520 washing machine - it goes through all cycles as it should and when it gets to draining and remaining time show 0 on the display it won't stop draining despite water was drained away pump is still running and machine won't stop. I cleaned pressure chamber already because it was full of stuff and was causing "check drain" issue, tried to reset by switching off for 1min and open - shut door 6 times in 12 sec sequence. Couldn't find such topic with similar issue, therefore ask. Thanks in advance.

Beko wmb 751441 error code F08

Hi there, I have a problem with my Beko washing machine. It won't start any programs and keeps flashing between the time and the word "end" when I try to start it. I already tried the 3" reset and on the diagnostics it tells me there's an error - the code is F08. When I try to go through the tests, nothing happens. Does anyone know what this error code means and if I would be able to fix it? Thank you so much for your help!

My washer dryer has stopped working completely – no lights on the front panel, no switches work. I called my local appliance repairer who assessed the situation as one of the three circuit boards was not working. However he felt unable to proceed with the repair without knowing which of the circuit boards had failed, and what had caused the failure. On that basis he felt the cost of repair would be more than the machine is worth. The machine is only just two years old – plugs, sockets, fuses etc all fine.

Siemens IQ300 washing machine error f43

Hello, 2 nights ago our electric was tripped, when switching it back on the washing machine was flashing with an error code f43. After searching I decided to change the motors carbon brushes. The old ones were very low, with one of them very dull and slightly discoloured due to burning (im guessing). Anyway, I changed the brushes, reset the machine, and tried a wash. But the motor still does not turn, I tried resetting over again but nothing. I let the new load run through the cycle only to end up with an f43 code again towards the end. Does anyone know what the issue may be? Have I forgotten to do something else? And are there fuses within the wa…

Today I had two different issues - unsure if they're connected but massive coincidence. First was turning the machine off - the display wouldn't turn off... and secondly it started to tumble during a wash and it wouldn't tumble - just did some weird vibrating tumble. any idea? It's still under warranty so will get them out but thought i'd ask here too! IMG_1417.mov

Hi My new washing machine is leaving black streaks on my clothes, and it happened with my last machine too. It is driving me insane! No one could get to the bottom of it so I paid for a washing machine repair guy to come round and he thought it might be the seal deteriorating and the marks may be from the rubber where the clothes are getting caught in the seal. However I clean the seal every time as I’m so paranoid about it. I don’t overload my machine and nothing I put in is that dirty, no greasy clothes etc. I do a service wash at 90 with the powder that Hotpoint recommended to keep my machine clean. I am at my wits end. I have a 3 month old baby and all his w…

Hotpoint Smart Tec Washing Machine Clicking

Only clicks on one programme; number 9. This is the most used programme, we hardly use any other. The clicking is on the right and its like a loud clock noise. I stopped the programme, drained and started again on number 10; all ok. I tried number 1 for a bit too; no clicking either. Any ideas gratefully received.

Hoover HBWM 916TAGC-80 Touch Screen Issue

Hi The touch screen on my Hoover is very unresponsive. If I'm lucky I can change the temperature of the wash by pressing the screen 20 or 30 times. The spin speed is easier to change but sometimes takes a few presses. I wonder if this is a known problem and is there a way to make it any easier to use? Thanks

Old Hoover washer dryer broken - advice needed pls
by blueswallow- 2 followers

I have an old Hoover Special Edition 1100 washer dryer which has been fantastic. Must be about 17 years old and has been very reliable with no major issues. Recently when it was on a spin cycle it started to make loud noise like the drum was moving about too much. I stopped it and noticed a smell of burned rubber. The grey door seal had been torn. The drum is loose. I think this means the belt has broken but I could be wrong. My question is can this be repaired? Are the parts still available? Or am I better off investing in another one?

Beko wtl104121w - 18 months old clicking noise from behind dial/door sometimes not unlocking
by brokenbeko- 1 follower
- 7 replies
- 144 views
Hello, Annoyingly, just outside of warranty as per with these things, my Beko wtl104121w seems to have developed a fault. The problem can probably be summarised by two main symptoms: - Sometimes at end of cycle, the machine starts clicking and the door lock will not unlock. It sounds like it is behind the dial but sometimes at the door interlock. - Even when not in use the machine sometimes randomly starts clicking from behind the dial but only seems to be when in the On/Off position. If I move the dial to a program, the clicking stops instantly. I can normally work around this by powering off the machine at the plug, waiting 5 - 10 minut…

I hope this video tells the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8L5ySXen68 It started last weekend, I put the washing on, came back hours later and it was stuck, water in the machine. Moved the machine out to make sure the drain hose wasn't blocked (it wasn't), left the clothes to dry in the sun, then tried again this weekend and same thing. This time I caught it before it gave up. As you see in the video, the drum wants to spin but can't (maybe a couple of cm in either direction). The tub does spin freely by hand. I've searched the web endlessly but I'm no closer to a solution. It can't be carbon brushes because this type of motor (direct drive) uses a…

BOSCH WVG30461GB WASHER/DRYER NOT DRYING 1 2

My Bosch WVG30461GB has twice in the last month stopped drying clothes, both times I've removed the top cover from the machine and pressed the small switch between the two green connectors in the photo which has reset the machine and solved the problem. I know how to fix it but don't know why the switch (presumably some sort of overheat safety device?) is tripping in the first place, can anyone help?

My machine was on it's final spin and began making a noise I haven't heard before. Just as I went to switch it off it started to smoke from the back of the machine. Picture added for reference. The belt looks fine, though, any help would be great. You can see the area where the smoke has came from. Thanks in advance.

Strange fault on Bush washer dryer
by bulla- 3 followers

Hello! I’ve started getting a fault on a 2.5 year old Bush wdnsx86w. When the motor starts to turn from stationary or changing direction there is a momentary screech coming from the appliance which almost sounds like something hitting the glass door. The appliance then gets stuck in a loop and the timer won’t go down. Cue the door lock engaging and disengaging and kitchen lights flickering. Eventually the appliance turns itself off. Can any washing machine engineers / repairers point me in the right direction please? IMG_0659.MOV

Hi all, My washer, model in the title, is permanently stuck at 1 minute, no spin light on. When I run it, it actually gets "Done", but when I turn it on again to try to set up a load, it shows me the same 1 minute and no spin light turned on. See image attached. I already manually put water in and ran this 1 minute and the pump works fine, therefore, shouldn't be a pump issue. Of course i already tried to unplug the machine for minutes, even hours, but when i plug it back in, the same 1 minute "no spin" shows in the display. Any clues what might be going on? Thanks! Nicolas.

Hi, I have a Beko washing machine WEX104064E0W which has an emergency drain hose. I used it today prior to cleaning the filter and stupidly pushed it too far and it fell down the hole. I cannot retrieve it… is there any trick to get it back out for future use? Hope it happened to someone else before and they managed to get it back…(the picture shown what it looks like)

Hi everyone, been hearing some metal clanging in the washing machine when it runs and when i had a look there’s a wire sticking out of one of the holes in the drum. Pulled it out a bit more before realising its probably coming from inside the machine as opposed to one of us leaving something in the wash that shouldn’t be there. Picture attaches. Any suggestions on what it could be? Thanks!

Hi friends, My not so old LG direct drive 7 kg, 721F1902, drains the water immediately after all the orange lights flash. So in the beginning of starting the process. The inlet filter was dirty and I have now cleaned it, and I have done a reset, hold the start button for 5 seconds. It pumps out a lot of water in my opinion, 30 liters I think just like that. Now what could be the cause of that? Best, Atlas.

Bosch WM drains ok, begins to spin but stops

Hi, have a Bosch front loader, wab24260gb/09. Drains ok and begins it's spin cycle but after 2 seconds of speeding up it stops, skips cycle, tries again and then stops (Jumps spin cycles and ends programme) Found a kink in waste hose but nothing bad. Changed Brushes and pressure switch sensor but still the same. I checked all the hoses and filter are clear and can blow through them ok . Same results with empty or half load. Springs and shocks look fine. Should I be looking at door lock or PCB? Thanks all, Mick

I have a Samsung Ecobubble washer / dryer which is about 7 years old. Today I did a wash and once finished, opened the door to find the clothes still wringing wet (no error code). I set the machine to do just a spin, turning off the rinse function on that programme and split the load in half so it was a lighter weight to spin. I then had the error code S(or5?)c, which I am familiar with as it can mean the filter is blocked and the water will not drain. I used the hose to let the water out (the small hose next to the filter) and tried again after realising the filter is clean. Again, the same problem. I have also run a diagnostic test which I found on youtub…

Hi, I replaced the bushes on my beko washing machine about two months ago and it's stopped working again. One of the bushes is perfectly fine and about 3cm long but the other is down to the plastic and the plastic is burnt. I probably put them in wrong but they looked ok to me. What should I do next? Cheers.

Retaining ring fell out of doorway gasket

A retaining ring has fallen out of the gasket against which the loading door closes, and I cannot see exactly where it should be re-fitted. The wire ring is about 13" diameter, with a 2" spring incorporated. The machine is a 5-year-old Bosch WAN. Where should the ring be fitted ? And can I use the machine without the ring ?
