Washing Machine will not drain, can't figure it out. Haven't been able to find a description of the same issue elsewhere.

Hi There, I have a cheap (OK brand) washing machine that stopped draining about a week ago. I checked the filter and the hose as best I could and saw nothing obvious. I then removed the pump and found a friendly local mechanic who checked with a multi-meter and found it was broken. I ordered a "universal" replacement pump. The plugs used on the old pump couldnt be found anywhere so I had to wire in the new pump using spade crimps. Now when I turn the machine on it fills and washes as normal, and the impeller in the pump spins, but still the machine wont drain. I have no idea what to check next. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I have a Hoover hbwdo8514tahc-80 washing machine that has stopped working and displays an error I can't see any reference to anywhere in the book or on the web!

I have checked and cleaned the filter, taken to top off and see that all pipes are connected, any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Washer Fills then stops ??? Help

Good morning, I’m stuck as I’ve previously fixed the washing machine in the past on three occasions by replacing the inlet valve and pump and door seal. However this time the washer starts, fills with water then doesn’t progress so no wash/Spin cycle, the time just hangs. Now I’ve stripped the pump to check for blockages, but I can successfully cancel the program and drain the water out. There isnt any grinding or noise preventing the spin so it’s mustn’t be the the motors as nothing is happening and the belt is on and I when I manually turn the drum it feels fine. I thought about the heating element reading that it won’t progress onto a spin if the water …

Boch Wash+Dry Exxcel 7/4 dryer fan not working

Hi I have a 3 year old Bosch wash+dry Exxcel 7/4 (model nr WVH28360GB) which stopped drying around Christmas 2017. Having bought the machine from Wash-House 3 years ago I have all labour included for any repairs abd so called out an engineer. He pulled out a large handful of lint from the fan but could not get the fan to stay running during a drying cycle - it would work for say 5 mins and then stop - thus the heating element cuts outs would pop. A month ago the machine then stopped heating the water, after being informed repair costs for parts would be in the region of £300 (I stopped coughing 10 minutes later) I said thankyou and showed him the door. …

Can someone please tell me what I’m missing that I can’t open this thing? I believe I’m supposed to turn it anti clockwise but it will not budge. Is there something else that needs to be done first? It can’t be this difficult

Beko WDR854P1N1W washer dryer

Hi all, Firstly, apologies if I’ve missed this question when I searched through previous posts. My less than 3 years’ old Beko WDR85854P14N1W washer dryer stopped working then started working intermittently. I called out a local repairer who advised initially the diode needed replacing but when the machine started to work intermittently, he backed away suggesting I get a Beko engineer to fix it. He mentioned, it might be the PCB. (Beko were completely unhelpful, bah!) So, I would like any advice on troubleshooting the issue before I buy a new PCB. Has anyone on this forum come across similar issues with their Beko washer-dryers and can you offer me so…

Old Blomberg machine motor?!

Hi, my Mother gave me her old Blomberg washing machine, years ago and I have kept the thing running. I think she has replaced her machine 3 times since! Anyway to cut to the chase, I recently managed to burn the armature windings out on the motor. I could just go buy a new machine but I don't see why I should if I cane keep this one going still. The problem is finding a motor for such an old machine. I have even considered re-winding the armature but I am not sure I would even be capable of such a task, so I decided to join this forum, thinking that there may be someone out there who might be able to help me out somehow!? 🙏

Bad Smells

Hi. My beko washing machine has recently started to smell of bad eggs when on a washing cycle, mainly when the water is on a heating cycle. Once it starts rinse cycles the smell starts to go away, and when it's started spinning it's mostly gone. The clothes however come out smelling fine and fresh. I've run it on a standard wash cycle with nothing in and no wash powder and no smell. The drum dosnt smell when not being used. I've tried cleaning, with no real effect, when I did the wash with no powder or clothes it took a couple of washes for the smell to return. Interestingly when it's draining, I can smell the same smell around the drain outside, but normally there …

Machine damaging / catching items
by RobSullUK- 3 followers

Hi everyone, We are having an issue with our Hoover VT815D22X. Sometimes clothing is coming out with damage (fraying, tearing, holes), plus smaller items such as cloths are being pulled into the drum body around the heating element and drain motor and causing drainage issues. I feel that things might be getting caught between the inner drum and outer drum near the door and either being sucked through or staying caught and getting the damage from friction as the drum turns. It is definitely not an issue of overloading, and the inner drum seems to be seated properly and tight enough (I can't feel any play so I don't think it's the bearings going). I can't fin…

Hello everyone,I'm a desperate woman suffering from excessive lint/dust with my laundry as the title suggest and here is the story in short hoping i'd get some help. I've basically been doing laundry all my life. Since early teenage years, it was my responsibility so one could say i know how to do laundry. When my boyfriend and i moved in together, we had a complete empty flat "a brand new one, we were the first tenants". The first hing we've purchased were the essentials, fridge, an LG washing machine, and a bed. this is when the nightmare started, i would see (purplish color) lint on the corners of the floor. Initially i thought this was from the central Air condit…

Hi All, Type: Hoover 300 H3D 496TE washer dryer I got an error message "E20". It says to clean the filter. I open the small door at the bottom and rotate the circular door in anti clock wise. I could rotate it only 90 degree. But i can't pull it out. The hand book and the official website doesn't gave more details. This should be a simple thing. But I can't figure out how to open it. Please help me.

Drive belt rubbing and noisy

I've got a front loader whirlpool that recently started to make rubbing noise in the back. I suspected it be the belt and installed a replacement. This didn't help as is still slipping away and rubbing into the drum. I'm suspecting is a loose bolt holding the drum, but thought I'd ask for an opinion here. Cheers. (Pic attached)

Hi, My 2–3-year-old Hotpoint WMXTF 742 Extra washing making has paused twice mid program in the past 2 weeks. Pressing the start/pause button fixes this, & it completes the program. Can any of you suggest why this might be happening? I just worry that it may get worse. Many thanks.

Internal leak from detergent tray clips

My washing machine has been tempremental for a while now. We were getting an E07 code (it's a Beko), I therefore removed the hose to the water level sensor and it didn't seem blocked so I got a new sensor as it was cheap. The machine worked perfectly for one cycle with the new sensor, the following cycle the clothes came out soaking wet and then finally it refused to do anything. On removing the back panel of the machine I found a small amount of water pooled around the flood sensor. I dried out the machine and did a cycle. It worked fine however again a small amount of water had returned to the base of the machine. I think I have located the leak to be eminati…

Hoover VisionTech Washer dead

Hi - any suggestions about likely causes of the following issue? This washer is at least 4 years old and had just finished a wash cycle - displaying "end" in the display. All of a sudden, the breaker in the fuse box went pop, and my wife, who was in a neighbouring room, believes she heard it to be louder than usual, followed by a hissing sound. (The breakers and machine are in the same room so with no-one there, it's hard to say whether the machine went pop, or just the breaker. Anyway, the machine no longer shows signs of life: no display. I have read the checklist and checked the fuses (one in the plug, and one further upstream in a wall mounted fuse holder) -…

Miele W844 washing machine. The cycle finish fine but the pump runs on and does not stop. You can open the door and then it stops The drum is empty and water is pumped out fine. Checked the filter and all is clear and the pump impellor is fine This machine uses a pressure transducer to measure the water level - tried disconnecting the tube to this and the pump still runs on. Are there any other sensors that will keep the pump running at the end of the cycle? Thanks

Hi, We have a Hoover Dynamic Next DXA 68AW3/1-80 washing machine bought in 2016. In general it works fine but it regularly stops mid cycle with no fault indication the display; the only option is to turn it off at the mains and start the program again. This has been happening for at least a couple of years and the fault seems to be completely random, i.e. not on any particular cycle type or at the same place in a cycle, full load or partial load - sometimes the drum is full with water but usually empty. When it stops, rotating the control dial makes the usual little beeps so at least part of the processor is still working but the display doesn't change. I hav…

Rubber seal destroyed

Hi. This is how I found our machine when I opened it. The seal has been rubbed and rubbed so much it tore off in a few places and there are bits of it everywhere. The drum seems to move OK from what I've read here. It doesn't move up or down too much and isn't "stuck". I don't want to replace the seal in case it's a bigger problem. I don't think it's rubbing in just one spot because more than one piece came off. Any ideas anyone? VID_20220430_085943.mp4

I have a Samsung ecobubble washing machine and dryer. It started leaking the other day from middle underneath with a 1 on the screen (not any other letters like the errors do) I emptied the tray catcher at bottom but now when you turn it on, it keeps locking and unlocking the door mechanism and then will randomly turn the machine on for a wash, even if door is open. Is this something that can be fixed?

Hi all, hoping someone here can help with an issue I have. I brought a new Hisense washer dryer, it's 10kg/6kg. I'm having issues where the wash cycle will, more times than not, bang when it reaches the spin parts of the programme, the rinse / spin part. I've been having this issue since receiving the appliance and so far Currys (who installed it) checked and it is all level, good clearance etc. Have also spoken to Hisense who have ruled out bearings, and I initially thought it was the power cable/waste pipe vibrating against the back of the machine. However, after pulling the machine out, for the 50th time, I was getting the same sound and there was nothing vibratin…

Hi all, We have a Beko wx840430w which is about two and a half years old now and had no issues until now. About six minutes into a normal cycle, the display starts intermittently flashing on and off (see attached video). The closest thing I can find in the troubleshooting part of the manual mentions about low voltage problems. There have been no issues with our power otherwise, so I'm not sure why this is malfunctioning in this way. The fault happens part way into a normal cycle, but the machine can complete a rinse and drain, so I suspect it's occurring when the element kicks in, although I could well be wrong. Any help with this would be outstanding. It woul…
