Hi all - I have a LG front loader - about 7 years old. It started giving the OE error indicating a problem with drainage. I checked the filter and drainage hose - both were ok. I manually drained the water and continued the cycle - no further problems. During the next load the same problem occurred. I rechecked the filter and drainage hose - again both were ok. So I removed the drainage pump and bench checked it - it seemed to work fine. I reinstalled the pump and for the next two loads had no problem, but on the third the same OE error occurred. Any thoughts on what the cause could be? What should I check next? Cheers Paul.

Hi all! I have a WDL520 Aquarius washing machine, and I fear there may be a ring lost inside! At the bottom of the machine, I take the cover off, and there's a kind of circular red seal and I'm pretty sure the ring will be in there. Problem is, I don't know how it comes off! I can't twist if off and there's nowhere to put a screwdriver in. It also has a hand symbol with an arrow over it, so perhaps it's not even safe to open? Any help would be appreciated!

I recently fitted a new element, due to the previous one being damaged by metal shirt collar stiffener. The issue is that on the 'Express 20' program there is a noise in the 1400 spin cycle only and on a longer program, there is no noise on the 1400 spin cycle. I am unsure at to what the cause might be, possibly with how the element is fitted? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a pump filter on my Samsung washing machine? When clothes are done washing they have specks of dirt and debris on them. So I was wondering if the Samsung washers have some sort of filter. Thanks for any help.

Hi all! I'd be grateful for your help... A couple of weeks ago, I was using my Indesit WIXE127 (UK) (TEV) which I've had for perhaps 9 years from new without any issues. Just as the wash was finishing its final spin, it began making a loud, rapid knocking sound and what appeared to be smoke came from the machine! Believing the machine to be knackered, I waited for the smoke to clear and had a poke around. I started by unscrewing and removing the back; there was nothing obvious. Nothing appeared to have caught fire. What I did find however was the plastic part lying loose on the base of the machine. As I looked through the door, I could see that the sea…

Hi My mums washing is on the blink, my sister in law told me the water is not draining,so I checked the standpipe and all clear, I then checked the Grey outlet pipe and removed all water and it looks clear. I then checked the filter at the front and just found few coins and little bit of dust build , which I cleaned. i removed the flexible rubber pipe near the pump and this is all looks clean and No blockage. I have check the belt at the back and it looks all good and has good tension and i spins it around. When I turn the drum it has good resistance. i have checked the Carbon bushes and they looked ok, as It had some life in it. We did a fast wash test on em…

I get dE error code on the display of my samsung washing machine (WD906U4SAGD) which is a door error code. I thought the door lock mechanism wasnt switching as it should so I bought and fitted a replacement. The dE error code is still there so my next step was to measure the voltage going to the door lock, I believe it should be 230V when switching but I only get 160V on the plug. Can anyone confirm what voltage I should be getting to switch the door lock? And does anyone have an wiring diagram for this washing machine?

Weird issue with a 2 year old Hoover Dynamix washer. Basically it runs through wash cycles fine but won’t fast spin- unless its tilted back slightly then put back level at which point in works perfectly for a couple of full cycles? As the machine won’t enter a fast spin until it’s drained the machine clearly thinks it’s still pumping water out and tilting the machine makes the machine realise it’s drained. Machine is pumping out fine, drain clear of obstruction filter ok and impeller at back of filter spinning freely. Any thoughts gratefully received!!

I have a samsung washing machine, I had to use the emergency drain hose to remove some water earlier but the hose came completely out of the machine and is not attached to anything inside. Should it be attached to something inside the machine or does it just sit in the hole? Any help will be appreciated

I have an Indesit machine which stopped draining. I did some YouTubing and tried all the basic self fixes, I checked all the pipes for blockages and then checked the pump filter, which did have a few hair clips in it. Thinking issue sorted I tried again and still not draining. I’ve now tested the pump itself with a multimeter and it’s giving a resistance reading of 190. So seems to be fine. Out if ideas and would prefer to refrain from phoning a repair guy especially if it’s something I can fix myself. Thanks in advance jack

I have had a bosch serie 4 wan22120au/06 7.5kg bought brand new from Harvey Norman 6 months ago and just recently it isn't balancing the load correctly and goes into the final spin regardless of being in balance or not and 9 times out of 10 it just goes the full 1100 rpm spin and shakes violently and doesn't slow down. It doesn't display an error code I have to stop it and manually and redistribute the load. Even though I live in NZ I'm very familiar with how to use front loaders and it's just baffling me. Any help would be appreciated. Many Thanks.

Hi, hope you can point me in the right direction. I have a Russel Hobbs RH1247W. It fills with water but won't agitate or spin but then drains ok at the end of the program. There's no funny noises, no motor sounds or anything. Could the pressure switch cause this fault?

I own a Beko WM6355W washing machine, I've had it for three years and I'm starting to have a problem with it. The Machine starts okay, the water comes in, and then after 3 minutes it suddenly stops (showing three minutes have passed of the cycle on the display 1:39 to 1:36) and no washing is going on. The machine is full of water, and I can't open the door unless I turn it off. I have to manually drain the water using the filter pipe at the bottom. The filter is not blocked I have checked. Also, when I turn off the machine, after one minute it clicks meaning I can open the door., but if I open the door water comes out. I've checked online and I haven't found any solut…

I could hear id drop inside, from the top left (while looking at the rear of the machine. I did try the washer and it seems to work flawlessly....however, what are the risks of leaving the piece of plastic in the case of the machine? Thanks

Hi washerhelp, I hope you can help! Our AEG Washer/Dryer is make a very loud banging noise (Sounds to me like you can hear something bouncing around in the mechanics of it) I've looked through the pinned guides in this forum and they state that it could be bearings however it says that you'd be able to replicate the sound by spinning the drum manually with your hand, i've tried and the sound only appears at the fastest spin in the cycle. I've uploaded a quick video of it to Youtube, i'd really appreciate if one of you lovely people could tell me your thoughts on what has gone wrong? https://youtu.be/7QpZLY12cVg If i've misunderstood the purpose of this…

Hello my Beko wme8227b washer won’t allow me to choose a programme. It is stuck showing a spin cycle. When you turn the programme selection switch it just stays on the time 16 (spin cycle) I have tried to reset it but that doesn’t work. I’ve checked blocked water etc and it’s all clear. I’ve also replaced the carbon brushes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
