Hello, I wonder if someone could please help with my issue I have a BEKO WDIR7543101 integrated washer dryer purchased dec 2019 which seems to have a repeat issue which was fixed by an engineer under warranty about 6 months ago. I believe he claimed he changed a capacitor, but I cant be sure of that. The problem is that the machine will start beeping on its own randomly. If you try and press any of the buttons, they sometimes work correctly and other times do not. i.e the start button turns the machine on and off. I have managed to run the test program by pressing and holding the spin and start buttons, I cycled through the tests and it seemed ok, but then th…

I have a very old Miele DE LUXE ELECTRONIC W 772 washing machine , from around 1986. The machine is still running, but the drum is not turning. I have taken the top off, and it looks like the drive belt, and the large drive wheel have come off. I am however not able to get to these parts as there is no access panel at the back, and the back panel and side panels are all in one. Any help with accessing this would be appreciated. Many thanks

Miele WM3740 Technical Fault F169

I was cleaning out my washing machine - the detergent drawer and the filter, I ran some hot water through the the empty detergent drawer slot to help soften the dried powder. The water ran through the machine out of the slightly loosened filter as I had just placed it back but left it loose to flush the water out. Shortly after there was a water proofing error. After tilting the washing machine to ensure the water didn’t wash back into the machine the error went away, but changed to a “Technical ! fault F169”. I can’t find this error code anywhere in a manual, but the guidance for technical faults is to switch off and on again at the mains. Unfortunately, I don’t k…

I'm attempting a bearing replacement on an Electrolux/AEG washer. The complete tub+drum assembly is circa £200, and the individual bearings and original AEG seal are about £25 for all three parts. I thought I'd share my thoughts on this in case it's useful for others... A viable repair must be water-tight, and mechanically strong enough to withstand the forces on the drum whilst the washer is in use. It must withstand the full temperature range that the tub will operate at - from not much above 0℃ when filled with cold water in late winter to 60℃ or 90℃ depending on the hottest program the washer has, (in any case it's best to assume this will be 100℃ near…

My Hoover washer is displaying E08 error code, indicating a motor problem, so I took out the motor and had a good look and then checked it with a multimeter. The results are puzzling me: First step: carbon brushes have around 4 cm left on them - plenty - they're only a year or so old. I cleaned the commutator thinking it might be that - then put it all back The machine still didn't work: on the spin cycle, after the pump stops, there's the characteristic graunchywhine for a second and then nothing. So I know power is getting to the motor. I tried to help it on its way by moving the drum at the same time the motor was energised and it did start to spin …

No matter what I do I cannot clear the E21 error which seems to be a drain fault according to the net…

Twisted metal strap in drum

Hi there. I found a stainless steel strap (see attached photo) approx 10mm wide and 150 mm long buried in a load of dried clothes within our Hotpoint tumble dryer. It may have come from the dryer or alternatively was wrapped up in the clothes from the wash in our Indesit washing machine. There was also a very small screw in there. There is a screw hole in one end, and the strap is twisted like a corkscrew at the other end and has sheared off at the other screw hole end suggesting it's been twisted then torn off during a spin cycle. I've looked in the drums of both machines and can see where it could of come from inside, but can't see how it would have got inside the drum…

I have a pretty new Bosch vario perfect, series 6, machine. Today someone had activated the child lock, which didn’t about. I used the emergency open thingy , near the needle filter. since this didn’t really solve the problem, I poked in the locking mechanism with a screwdriver, which made the black latch snap down. the child lock is now disabled, but I can’t shut the door. I can’t find a way to reset the lock and I am afraid to damage it with too much force. I don’t think the lock is damaged yet, it just needs to snap back. please help

I just brought a Grundig GWD59400C Washer Dryer from an auction (so no warranty) but seems pretty new. However having just plumbed it in it seems to have 1 fault. The washing cycles work fine however on entering the drying cycle everything seems to be going fine but after about 20 minutes the machine front panel display Safety then after about 30 seconds the machine shuts down. This happens whether you do a full wash/dry cycle or just a standalone dry program. Does anyone have any ideas?

Servis M6713W

Hello, I have a Servis M6713W which appears to shake quite a lot there is also a mark on the back panel where it looks like the motor has hit it. So I'm unsure if this the springs at the top on each side, the shock absorbers, both or something else. The drum itself is in good condition, makes no noise when turning and I can't even push it upwards but can spin freely but the tub itself is very wobbly but I have no idea what is causing it, the shock absorber seems fine, I have no idea how to tell if a spring is worn out. Another thing I noticed is that on this machine there's three marking for where the spring can go (on each side) I have attached the a picture…

Hi All, I have this washer dryer and recently its stopped drying properly. Clothes are hot but damp. I opened it up to see if there was a condenser and noticed the plastic channel seemed very clogged up. In order to clean it I assume I have to remove the Heater Channel Group at the top which seems to be secured with 4 large torx type bolts. Does this all sound correct, doable? I tried to find a service manual but no luck Thanks for any help :-)

Hi to everyone. Hope that someone can help. I've a panasonic machine about 5 years old, used 2-3 times a week, so not heavily worked. For some time it's been temperamental about spinning. It starts turning the drum for spinning, increases speed a bit, then stops the spin and continues to try again, and again. It can occur with heavy loads, light loads and the error message suggests unbalanced, but I've tried lightening heavy loads and increasing light loads but it often doesn't resolve. Then other times, the machine will complete the spin ok. If it does spin correctly, I've noticed it 'struggles' to get up to speed, then suddenly shifts into a higher speed and gets much s…

So I had a Beko WDR 7543121B. It worked great, after 9 months the dryer started failing to heat. It got repaired and sorted. 3 months later it began to cut out during wash cycles. It got repaired. 3 months later, cutting out on wash leaving clothes soaked. Onto dry cycle, will run for 2 hours and not take any dampness out because it gets super hot and leaves every thing wet with steam. Over 7 weeks it had 8 repairs, replacing circuit boards, heating elements, filters and connectors. Still same problem. So my extended warranty replaced it. Brand new one today Beko WDR 7543121W same model, but white instead of black. First wash, with a 90 minute …

Hello The machine starts to work fine on the eco program, but, after about one hour, it stops with no error code. The program can continue when pressing the pause/run button, but it will stop again. To finish a complete cycle I need to press the pause/run button several times. I checked the inlet and the outlet water filters and they are clean. However, some times I hear the water pump works for a long time. Heating element has 25 ohm resistance. Drum motor brushes seem OK. I suspect a fault in the PCB. Is there some way to switch to diagnostic mode to diagnose the problem? I could not find documentation about my specific model on the internet. Th…

Hi all, Bought a house about 18 months ago, the previous owners bought a washing machine (AEG, 800 pounds from John Lewis. Receipts and invoice given to us. High spec machine / washer / dryer) 1 year prior to them selling the house. So the washing machine is just over around 2 and a half years old, close to three years anyway. (warranty was only for 2 years). Recently we've noticed at least once a week it randomly shuts off during or at the later stages of a cycle and refuses to turn back on unless I slam the door really hard. Just wondering if anyone had similar issues? What shall we do? I rang a couple of repair men around the area and one suggested …

Whirlpool DLCE 91469 Water Chamber issue

I have a Whirlpool DLCE 91469 859234315010 Washing machine and seeing a leak I ordered a replacement drain pump as I thought the noise indicated the pump. On further testing I noticed the area around the water chamber (located back top right where the drain hose is connected to the house drainage) was wet. I have tightened and secured the drain hose but also noticed a small black rubber hose that leads from the top of the water chamber to the drum. What is the function of this hose? Is it some form of pressure release? I have searched but cannot see any comments on this. If this was disconnected (because I was testing I do not know if this had worked itself loose b…
