Ok ok, what I did was I noticed it was skipping certain cycles when in use so I took top off to put WD40 into the mechanism, I did this but curiousity got better of me and I moved the cog part (not the dial part) and I pulled it back a bit and pulled the wire and plastic that turns the dial. Simple fix I believe but I don't know how to, not totally sure model but it matches visually a WMA1510W I see on Youtube. and says WMB 10 W on washer itself. I assume its just a case of clipping back on but don't want to risk damaging it if doing it wrong

Hi there! I bought a new Hoover link one touch two weeks ago. Every now and then it will beep a couple of times and then the time remaining flashes. It stops spinning and 2 mins later the door unlocks. I can press the start button again and it will carry on washing No error codes and I've searched everywhere for beep codes but can't find any references to beeping online or in the manual. Thanks in advance.

I have the error code f03 that is intermittent. I've changed the element but that hasn't cured it. It's strange that the machine often continues working for a while after the code apears (along with all the indicator lights flashing). Any suggestions welcome! thanks

My washing machine is just over 30 months old and developed fault 3e. Samsung refuse to honour the warranty, saying I had not registered the extended 5 years, which I have done. The machine sticks and the drum shudders; If put on pause it will wash after 2-3 hours of consistently pausing it. Does anyone know what this fault is? Could it be the motor? Thanks

So i'm troubleshooting this washing machine. the problem is that it has started to burn the fuse (10 A automatic fuse is installation). It runs fine at first during the prewash, but when it goes to the main wash the fuse goes instantly. So my thought was the heating element has burned out. i tried running at washing program cold, that way the heating element is not active, and the machine finished the program without problem. Then i opened the machine up to measure the resistance thought the heating element. i disconnected to two wires from the terminals and measured 27,6 ohm. i thought the web for a reference and found a video that clams the heating element usually…

Miele inner drum is rubbing on door seal seems to be getting worse. No play sideways or back to front on inner and outer drum. Inner drum looks to be slightly proud of outer drum. I suspect its still a bearing issue anyone else had this problem?

Hi, I have Miele W2444 Washing machine that has started showing the Check Drain warning. I have tried to remove the drain filter with no success! I opened up the little door on the bottom left of the machine, turned the screw cap which let out about a pint or so of water. I continued to turn the screw cap until it came off and was left with just the screw cap. Most of the demonstrations show the drain filter attached to the screw cap. What is left behind the screw cap cannot be pulled out easily and I dont want to pull too hard and break something. I have attached pictures of the screwcap on and off. I guess my question is how do I remove the filter? and s…

Hi all, This week I have replaced the shock absorbers of my AEG Lavamat 74530. The old shock absorbers were completely worn out. When I held the old shock absorbers upside down, they already fell down. The new shock absorbers are somewhat difficult to move by hand. Is it normal that the new shock absorbers can also be moved in and out by hand or are they so strong that it is not possible? I am asking this because I am not sure whether the new shock absorbers are defective. When the machine is spinning with washing, the washing machine still makes a little noise. I also discovered that a hole through which the spring is sitting is completely worn out, so that th…

Hi, I have a Grundig GWDI854 integrated washer dryer - purchased in August 2019. While I had removed the detergent drawer to clean it, my 2 year old daughter put a couple of metal hair clips in there - ie down the pipe that leads from the drawer to (I'm assuming) the drum. Will our machine continue to work fine, or do I need a technician to disassemble it to remove the items? I tried to look for a service repair manual online but couldn't find one, so I have no idea how easy it is to repair, though I assume if I tried it myself it would void the warranty. When I called Grundig they said to call their repair service (Domestic and General), but they wouldn't give me a…

My Bosch varioperfect serie 4 blew the rcd while on cycle (at least I think it was that what blew it) and now although the machine will turn back on and has not since blown the electric, all it does is shoot a small amount of water into the drum and then completely refuse to do anything after that. It wont do anything until I have drained it and used the manual door open and then will only get to the same stage as before when reattempting to start the cycle. No error codes are showing.

Afternoon all. Have a neff washing machine that has been playing up lately. On Christmas Eve it stopped spinning, washing and all we got was a hum. Checked the drivebelt and brushes and decided brushes needed to be changed. After installing new brushes all worked fine for a few days but for some reason isn't spinning now. Washing cycle is fine but for some reason doesn't want to spin on some cycles. The washer drains fine also. Anyone any ideas as it's quite old I believe and don't want to keep throwing money at it.

Hi all, our washing machine (Bosch Classixx) is tripping after starting the cycle at random times. It’s not tripping the power circuit (RCD) it seems to set off a fuse internally. After it turning itself off it takes a minute or so until the front panel turns on again. At first, it used to turn off half way or more through the cycle but now it stops soon after starting the cycle. I thought it might be related to the drain pump as it seemed to do this when it was time to drain the drum. I suspected the pump gets blocked and the motor runs hot and some internal resettable fuse just trips. I checked for blockages on the in- and outlet but couldn’t find one. Then I turn…

I hav miele w3164. During filling it start to leak thru detergent drawer door outside. The hose that takes the water from the drawer to the drum is not blocked with old detergent/softner residue, but the water goes too slowly, so it finds the next obvious escape, which is out the front! Pressure at inlet less than 6 atm. What can be problem?

I am looking to replace the hinge on my Bosch Exxcel 8 VarioPerfect. The hinge seems readily available but I am unable to work our how to take the door apart. In the past doors used to have a series of screws for fixings and the door could be separated by removing these. However I notice that the door surround on this machine doesn't have any screws. Instead there are round plastic discs with a hole in the centre. Are these factory moulded / fitted permantly or can these be removed somehow? Or have am I over thinking it and I simply need to prise the door apart?

I have a BEKO WDX8543130. Over the last 2 weeks the drying function has not been working properly. It washes fine. Then we set it to cupboard dry. It sometimes needs a bit longer so we set it to dry a bit more. After the cycle has finished it comes out soaking wet. It's happened about 5-10 times now. Anyone experienced this before?

Hello forum, I have a LG WD80264 NP washing machine, who suddenly came up with ALL LEDS being lit, and no option whatsoever (no button works, and no specific error code is on display). After 2 mins, it turns off. If you unplug it, and re-plug it in, the same "all leds lit" situation occurs again, with no button response (not even power button). Any advice will be highly appreciated, as we know we handled the machine with much care, and been so happy with it for 3 years now. Regards, Mir in South Africa PS I attache a picture of the machine, with all led lit, as it is PS2: I have read the DIY Repair Help, unfortunately had to come to the forum as my las…

Our WT 2670 is out of warranty and there is a burning smell when you run a drying cycle, the clothes are hot but wet. When this happened before it was a blocked duct over the top of the machine. It has been replaced twice by Miele in the past under their warranty. Is this a job I could under take and can you get the parts required? Looking for a cheapish solution as the machine is 12 years old and the bearings are getting noisy. If not what make of replacement machine should we be looking at? Samsung are offering a 5 year free guarantee, are they any good?
