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.

Hello, I recently reinstalled our washing machine as we had to temporarily remove it to get new floors done. However, now when a program is selected the display jumps between random programs and can land on the incorrect one (for instance, when selecting drain it will choose 29' wash). Here is a quick video I took of it: https://youtu.be/x8K-bdP88cc I understand that it is either an issue with the selector switch or front panel pcb module, both of which I can buy as genuine spare parts online and they also seem fairly straight forward to fit. However, they are both fairly pricey and I was hoping whether anyone had any knowledge they could share on which one i…

Hi, I have checked the other forum in case this was mentioned but couldn't find anything, or anything within this relating to E8 error. Machine is 6 years old and used at least 4 times a week. Is it worth repairing if indeed it's even possible? Many thanks.

I have tried all suggestions but cannot clear the screen. A few days ago this machine blew the power on a spin cycle and when the power was restored the display now permanently shows all lights illuminated and no sequence will clear it. Any ideas ?

Hi all, hoping you can help please!? My machine is not spin drying and is flashing rinses. The brushes have been checked and are ok. If the machine is empty it will complete the wash cycle fine with spinning. A few clothes in the machine and it will spin dry ok. And a few more it gets stuck. It seems to be a weight in the drum issue. It doesn't seem to be washing as well either. Same issue weight in the drum. Hope this is a simple one! Thanks, John 20201020_211432.mp4

I have just got a beko WTIK76121 and after the first use i noticed the liquid detergent drawer at the end of the cycle was full of water The washing machine liquid detergent draw isn't siphoning the water off and at the end its full of fresh water. So the liquid detergent is going but then full of water! I called beko and they said it sounded like the water pressure is to high so I changed that and i now know that is not the problem as it has made no difference. Could the problem be possibly the angle of the machine? Does it need to come down slightly at the front so its at the right angle to help the siphoning start?? Please help as surely this …

I have a year old beko washing machine (WTB820E1W). It runs the cycle normally and spins at the end but the clothes come out wetter than they should. If I then do an extra spin and drain cycle the clothes come out as they should. Why is this happening? I've checked the filter, hoses and even cleared the drain pump but still no change. Please help! Very frustrating!

Hello everyone! I have a logik L814WMB17 washing machine that is about 2 and a half years old. My wife informed me early afternoon yesterday she heard a rattling from it so I investigated and believed something to be in between the drum, took off the sump hose underneath and attempted to taunt it out however I could never even catch a glimpse of what it was. It then hit me that as everytime I move the drum it rattles and is louder when one particular paddle comes round. If it was in between the drum then it would sit on the bottom and not move everytime the drum is moved. I don’t seem to be able to work out how the paddles remove on this machine and can find absolutely no…

Hi everyone, Our washing machine is making a scrapping noise. I managed to record it. Here is the video with sound: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-2R-8WgAva9g14VQY9HiJMi4QVS9BLqk/view?usp=sharing What is weird to me, is that it's making the sound even when the drum is not turning, at 12 seconds into the video. I am wondering if I found the right guide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNfuu2MCSpY. Do you think this is the real problem? Thanks in advance! -ValeV

Hotpoint HV7L130 Noise started all of a sudden when loaded during wash. Opened it op and moved the tub around slowly by hand. Tub wasn't knocking against anything, weights were tight, shocks seemed OK. The noise seemed to come from the tub itself and knocked at a certain point during every rotation. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello. I'm wondering if anyone can help please. I have an LG direct drive (Inverter) machine, approx two years old. When filling the machine, the fill stops and starts half a dozen times before continuously filling to the correct fill amount. My question is, why does the fill stop and start? It fills for a second or two then stops, then the same again and so on until filling as normal. It has done this since new. I don't think this is normal but any help appreciated. Thanks, Mike

I have just purchased the above (used) model which the seller said needed the drum bearing/s replacing. I noticed when I split the drum housing that the inner stainless rim where the 5x water jets and stem inlet is, was caked in gunge. I removed the trim, and it was just one huge mess. On cleaning it (never done one before), i noticed that where the pipe comes in (steam), there was a "tee" connection just inside the drum housing, with the left hand side going into the small steam jet injector (multi-hole), but the right hand side of the "tee" is just open with just the bare barb of the plastic "tee" and not even any pipe attached. There is obviously something missing here…

Hi I have a washing machine which is 4 years old and still covered for parts but will have to pay labour £119 for a Hotpoint engineer. The washing machine works fine but flashes and beeps with an error message saying "CYCLE NO CHANGE (i)" around half a dozen time through the wash cycle. Nothing appears to stop but I think something may be on the way out ? I have tried to reset the machine to see if the cures the problem but not really sure whether I manage to reset it. I cannot find what this means anywhere. Does anyone know what this error means ? I tried asking Hotpoint but they don't seem to be able to help so it looks like only one of …

Last posted about this at start of year, it does work as a machine just not sure how long the issue has been around for, it may of been years as I normally just set it and wait. No issues with heating water or anything but if I set machine to option 1 it starts and then after a few minutes goes to the end of option 4 which is just before rinse cycle which is 5, it runs for a hour then when "rinse" cycle starts I don't think its actually on rinse as it almost instantly goes to next to the main rinse and if at this point I open machine (after putting dial to end of cycle) the machine is so hot theres boiling hot steam coming off and the water is scalding hot. Its …

Hello, I have a Hoover HBWD 8514TAHC washer dryer which has been stuck before the final spin for some time today. I've noticed a noise coming from it which I hadn't heard before. Having taken off the back panel to listen more closely, it seems to be coming from the motor, and it does it when I manually move the drum whilst the machine is switched off too. Can anybody advise on what the sound is, and whether or not this is repairable? Here's a video on Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iqa8irsfl95lezx/VID_20201011_140535.mp4?dl=0 Thanks, Tom

AEG L7WEG851R washer/dryer. Have read the troubleshooting articles but not found this (very specific) issue. Any advice gratefully received. The issue is that the drum is refusing to spin. It tries to spin, and does move slightly, but then it stops again. It then does the same in the opposite direction after a short delay. It's almost as if it's getting stuck on something. I'm not sure if the machine even registers an issue - no error code and it just keeps trying. If we turn it off, open the door and rotate the drum by hand, there is initially some resistance - almost feels magnetic as it is notchy, if that makes sense. Then after a short delay it free…

Basically I have a Hotpoint First Edition 1000 model num WM52, it's like Triggers brush off only fools and horses, over the years I have collected many spare parts from other peoples washer of the same model and have repaired it with such. It gave up the ghost the other day and when I inspected it I found the motor would not turn, on further inspection it was the bearing in the brush end, as the spare motors that I had did not have the same connector on them I decided to dismantle the motor, but silly me I did not make a note of the pin outs in the connection socket. the pins in the connector are all in a line and NOT one set on top of the other, Looking from the pin side…

Hi to all, I've had a look at the Troubleshooting page but could not find a section which relates to this problem. We've had this machine for 17 years now and although the body is rusting underneath the soap drawer, it still worked smoothly until a couple of days ago when any program used simply goes to the rinse program. We usually use either the 30 or 40 Cotton program with the Quick wash button and the Reduce Ironing buttons. Both the 30 and 40 degree programs take around 53 to 59 minutes. A couple of days ago any program be it from the Cottons section, delicates etc. simple shows 20 minutes on the display and the machine performs a rinse cycle. I checke…

This fault displays after pump running for a while. I’ve literally checked and cleaned everything in the drainage system but still get the same message. Any help appreciated to save my sanity. Pump appears to be running fine. Can hear clicking noises inside soap dispenser area but this maybe normal.

Hi, can anyone confirm from the attached photos that the drum position on my Samsung Ecobubble is correct or has it slipped somehow. It shredded a seal last week, fitted new seal yesterday but the drum seems to be catching on the new seal. I had to disassemble the whole thing again to take the picture. Help please, thanks.

Hi, I have a Siemens IQ300 and took out the filter to clean it. I needed to use grips because it was stuck with scale. I can see that the bit that the filter screws into is cracked in two places. It looks like a big washer but it wont come out. The machine now leaks underneath at the front. :-( Is it possible to buy the housing unit that the filter screws into or is it a whole new pump? I can see plenty of places to buy a new filter to screw in but I need the other part and not sure what it is called! Trying to work out if the cost will be worth calling someone out or if I should just buy a new machine. It is 5 years old and just out of the guarantee now a…

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?
