I have a Miele W844 washing machine. During the Main wash cycle it is making a strange irregular noise which sounds like gurgling. The noise continues even if the drum is not moving. The noise does not occur on the rinse or spin cycles. Any ideas about the cause

ISE washing machine ring of rubber fell out My ise machine (ISEW1607W) is 9 years old and has been magnificent all that time. However today, I opened the door of the front loader and a long ring of rubber fell out around the door. It is not the door seal which is still in place and is any much larger than the circumference of the door. It seems to be (forgive me if I don't know the jargon) something that is a buffer between the drum and the front of the machine but it is not clear which way round to try and put it back on or what would hold it in place andhow to get it back into place anyhow.

Indesit iwdc6143 washer dryer the light for the door lock is flashing constantly but not actually locking to allow the cycle to start. I have checked the lock on the door and it works fine and when I close the door I can’t open unless I put the handle down. I’m unsure whether I need to buy a new machine o wanted to see whether it is fixable thanks in advance

Hi all, My W5780 alerted me to a "waterproof fault" i.e. the bottom of the machine had pooling water internally. I've traced the leak to the black rubber "water path seal" between the water inlet valve and the mechanism behind the dispenser tray. As the machine fills, water is being pushed out backwards from the dispenser tray, forcing the seal (which doesn't have any clamp) to leak. Any advice please? All other electrical and mechanical systems are working fine. Seal looks good when removed. Could blocked nozzles or something inside the dispenser tray be allowing pressure to build in the incoming water and forcing it back out? Be so grateful for any help -…

I recently replaced the water drain motor which was leaking. After replacing this part, the leak stopped but now see that water is coming from the filter drain hose during any wash cycle. This is the hose located in the bottom left hand corner that comes out when you open the small white door. This door hides the round filter that unscrews when you want to check the drain area for objects too large to drain out normally. This never happened in the past and wonder why this has started immediately after I replaced the water drain motor. Any ideas why?

I removed a paddle from my Hotpoint machine last week to get a piece of underwire out that got stuck under the drum. This was all fine but the retaining clips snapped on the paddle. There was loads of scum stuck under the paddle so I removed the other 2 to clean. All of them broke and I ordered replacements, but our post is really slow at the moment and washing is building up. Could I safely use the machine with the paddles missing if I put larger items in the machine which arent likely to be sucked through the small gaps from the paddles?

Hi, I have a Hotpoint WML730 Aquarius washing machine that has recently started making an intermittent tapping sound. It only seems to do it at the start of the spin cycle. I have read the article on washing machine noises but still can't get the the source of the noise. It appears to be coming from the left hand side of the machine. I've attached a video which shows the issue. Any advice would be gratefully received Thanks washing machine noise.mov

Following certain error messages I've bought a couple of spare parts for our AEG 74600: the water distributor and the solenoid water valve. However I am having a hard time figuring out how to join the two parts together (there's not enough room). When de-attaching the old parts I opened up the water distributor (hoping I could fix it), and this also made it easy to de-attach and rejoin it to the water valve, but I can't imagine I'm supposed to disassemble it prior to mounting and joining the two parts. I've also tried to see if I can remove the rear "wall" in order to get enough room but there's no obvious way to do this. Any ideas? A service manual would be nic…

Well, finally managed to get the dryer part working again - though possibly helped by the fact I still have a couple of years of a 10-year warranty to go. (I've posted the history leading up to getting this repair elsewhere in this forum - First of all, I have to say that the Miele warranty repair admin seemed OK - in other words when I phoned them I got through pretty quickly, they found my warranty details and then made an appointment about 10 days away, then did text me the day before as a reminder. So, that part works. The phone was answered by a nice enough young kid - but he was clearly trained in how to push blame for any washer-dryer failure prompt…

Hi, today my wife found two magnets in the drum of our washing machine. I am sure I never saw them in our house anywhere and there doesn't seem to be any damage in the drum nor any way for them to get inside.... They are circular magnets with a hole inside. Diameter 22mm, diameter of the hole 12mm, height 7mm Any idea where they might be from?

I started a Super Short cycle on my Beko WY104764MB on 16/03/20. When I came back to collect the washing, it had not drained properly. I drained the washing machine manually and checked the filter, which had collected a few bits but nothing major. I then attempted to run the Super Short cycle again. This time, the washing machine started to fill up with water for around 5 seconds whilst making noise, and then stopped for around 20 seconds. This process continued to repeat, so I suspected that the problem was with the water feed. The water feed seemed like it was OK, so I put the machine on to a spin and drain cycle. The washing machine started to make the same noise th…

Hi, I have a 7 year old Smeg WMI12C7. The last wash I did caused a really loud racket when on the final spin cycle plus I could smell a lot of burning rubber. I know it's impossible to diagnose without looking but wondered if anyone had any ideas of what is the cause and prices of fix? Or if it was worth repairing or gettng a new one? Thanks in advance.

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…

We have an AEG L7WEG851R washer/dryer that was delivered 6th August 2017. In the last week, the machine has become extremely noisy when spinning, and the drum feels very rough when turning by hand. We called AEG and a repairer came out this afternoon. One feel of the drum and he said it's the bearing that will need replacing - a two hour job that they will do under warranty. We're now waiting for them to order the part and book in a day to come and replace it. My concern is, why on earth has the bearing gone on this machine after little over a year? We forked out extra for an AEG, hoping that it would serve us for a bit longer than our previous budget Ho…
