Miele WT 2780 washer/dryer leaving black residue on sheets. Have thoroughly cleaned following guidance in user manual but still persists. Residue seems to be in aperture at top front of drum which is difficult to access. We no longer use the dryer and wonder whether this is hot air access point that has become clogged due to not using. If so - how best to clean. Any ideas?

I have a Hotpoint Model WMA9 - Serial Number 07101058 (an older machine given to me). Just lately it has been a bit of a noise and when turning the drum by hand it's making a bit of a grinding noise. I know the bearings on the drum are going and made enquiries today at Hotpoint as to what bearings I need. The reply I got over the phone was that it could either be 30 OR 35mm bearings and would need to take them off to check, and would I want an engineer to come out? No thank you was the reply! So they genuinely can't tell me or won't unless I buy from them? Does anyone know which size my machine would need - many thanks.

Hi, I've tried the troubleshooting guides for common problems, but haven't been able to work out the answer to this. I'm hoping someone here can help. I recently completed a wash in my Samsung Eco Bubble washer only to find both the seal around the door and the clothes themselves covered in small pieces of grey rubber residue. Further examination showed that the rubber door seal had started to disintegrate near the metal rim of the inner drum, about half way up from the bottom of the drum, I'm guessing that maybe something got stuck between drum and seal and friction then caused the seal to wear away. Now I know very little…

Any advice on how to replace a Samsung washing machine drum lifter. You tube videos show different brands and quite simple to do, but suggested method isn't working. Any suggestions? Thank Mike

I have a Bosh integrated washing machine, WIS24141GB/54 which has decided to stick on the wash part of a heated cycle, for hours and hours on end (could go on forever maybe, but I got bored and aborted the cycle after 4 hours!). I’m pretty confident that it’s the element at fault, especially as Bosch have replaced the original part with a new one (according to their parts search). What I can’t find is, how do I access the element inside one of these integrated machines; is it via the front or the back panel? I’d rather not remove the front only to find it was the back. Part diagram *seems* to suggest it’s accessed from behind, but would anyone be …

Hi there, Slightly odd one so hopefully someone can help! My 13 month old Samsung Quickdrive washing machine with Digital Inverter Motor has started making fairly loud noises when the drum is rotating very slowly (1 rotation = 20seconds). Just before the spin cycle, the drum rotates very slowly 3 times; anticlockwise, clockwise and anticlockwise; which is a normal feature. However, at this point there is a loud clunking/clanging sound from the very rear of the washer. This noise happens regardless of whether the washer is empty or has a light or heavy load. The drum appears to jerk slightly when starting to turn slowly. The clunk then occurs just …

Hi, we own a 5+ year old John Lewis JLWD1609 washer dryer that seems to have an intermitant fault. The door lock is working fine and registers and all other dials and buttons have appropriate responses except the START/PAUSE button This can be depressed and appropriate audible click is made but the following door lock click and cycle start do not happen..... Except when it does I can push the button a hundred times and nothing or once or twice and we are in business I've had an engineer look at it and he dismantled the front section and was satisfied that the buttons amd contact were intact and thought it maybe the machines board that's the issue …

All clear now. would anyone know what the next steps would be for this problem thanks in advance

So I have a Hotpoint Washer-Dryer Machine. Worked fine for ages. Then it started playing up. Model Number: RG864SUK As I looked into it the Washing machine half works fine. The tumble dryer part is the issue. The condenser (semi-clear plastic) has produced a hole exactly above the pcb. The pcb isn't damaged but the hole in the condenser is an issue. I need to replace it. The genuine number on hotpots website is J00299675. Should my unit have a hole in, what could have caused this? Can I get away with replacing just the condenser unit? I can't purchase the part on the Hotpoint website. It says I have to call the fix helpline which I don't want to …

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 have already read through the washing machine common faults help guide Hello, my Hoover Dynamic Next DXCC69W3 9Kg Washing Machine (4 years old) has suddenly stopped working. The display only shows rotating blinking lights on the display. When looking up error codes, I expected to see E1, E2, etc as per the manual but there are no letters. I don't see any pattern in the flashing lights either. When changing settings, it still beeps. The washer information is here: https://service.hoover.co.uk/advice-centre/washing-machines/dxc-c69w3/ The manual is here: https://service.hoover.co.uk/manuals/DXC-Models.pdf Here is a short video showing the issue. ht…

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!

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…

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…
