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 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!!

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 …

Hi, can anyone help with a banging noise that I have on a Bosch Avantixx 7, WAE24367GB/34. This is not happening all the time but is most noticable during a wash/rinse when the drum is rotating and slightly unbalanced. The noise sounds like something hitting the drum and is very similar to the noise you would get if the machine was empty apart from a plastic washing liquid ball bouncing around in the rotating drum. It seems like it is banging once on each drum revolution. Turning the drum by hand it feels quite smooth with no unusual sounds. There is virtually no play when lifting the drum or moving side to side. I've had the top and back cover off but cann…

Hi. I have a hoover washer dryer VHW854. it’s been going well considering it’s age but the dryer packed In recently ive replaced the heating element and the heater motor which snapped off from vibrations. All went well until the next wash. It is heating fine but the vibrations snapped the Dryer motor off the top of where the upper heating element is. I can’t seem to get screws that will keep it fixed? i suspect there’s two issues: 1) how to reduce the vibrations (I’ve tightened the bolts on the concrete). Do internal shock absorbers exist? 2) how to keep the motor attached? sorry I am a novice on this. Any ideas would…

I have just purchased the above (used) model which the seller said needed the drum bearing/s replacing. I noticed when I split the drum housing that the inner stainless rim where the 5x water jets and stem inlet is, was caked in gunge. I removed the trim, and it was just one huge mess. On cleaning it (never done one before), i noticed that where the pipe comes in (steam), there was a "tee" connection just inside the drum housing, with the left hand side going into the small steam jet injector (multi-hole), but the right hand side of the "tee" is just open with just the bare barb of the plastic "tee" and not even any pipe attached. There is obviously something missing here…

Hotpoint HV7L130 Noise started all of a sudden when loaded during wash. Opened it op and moved the tub around slowly by hand. Tub wasn't knocking against anything, weights were tight, shocks seemed OK. The noise seemed to come from the tub itself and knocked at a certain point during every rotation. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi, I have checked the other forum in case this was mentioned but couldn't find anything, or anything within this relating to E8 error. Machine is 6 years old and used at least 4 times a week. Is it worth repairing if indeed it's even possible? Many thanks.

Hi lads, I've a bosch advantixx washer dryer that is freezing only when drying. It happens after the drain pump runs during the cycle. I thought it might be the pump which I've replaced but no joy. It happens more often than not but works occasionally. Any ideas?

I have been given a washing machine, Hotpoint WDL754PUK, that had a suspect door lock issue. Unfortunately I have no exact detail of the issue symptoms but can confirm the door is locked. When connected up to water and electric the control panel lights up, but nothing else happens. I have carried out a general check on connections, wiring and circuit boards. I have identified a blown transistor on the PCB of the main control module. Is this most likely the root cause or has something else provoked the transistor to blow? Is it worth replacing the main control module?

I have a 4 year old zanussi lindo 300 and it has started making an unusual noise. The noise is a ratting sound which happens at the very beginning of the cycle, before the drum even starts moving or water comes in. Once the water starts filling and drum starts moving the noise stops and everything continues normal. I am worried that if I don't address the cause of the rattling sound, more damage will occur. I've searched endlessly on Google but can't find anything specifically relating to noises before the drum starts moving. I have attached a short video where you can hear the noise quite clearly. Any ideas would really be appreciated! Thanks in advance. 20201205_…

Hi all. New here so bare with me. Two days ago I put a wash on as normal and whilst I was in the shower I heard a loud pop come from the washing machine. When I went into the kitchen the washing machine was completely off and I’m unable to get it back on at all. There was an electrical burn smell in the air. I decided to have a look in the back of the machine and found that the connector wire to the motor has been burnt, also there’s a lot of what may be like scale or rust on the male connector. I’ll attach photos for you to see. Anyway my question is, will I be able to repair this? And if so do you know how? If you have any questions feel free to ask. P.s the …

(As Miele washer/dryers are rumoured to all use the same basic drying system, probably applies to other models too...) Had a Miele engineer come under warranty to replace pretty much all of the hot air ducting and suds container etc. etc. Seemed like a good guy, though did get distracted at one point. Anyways, on the few times I use the drying function, I noticed the following: - dryness levels seem reduced (items not coming out bone dry) - there is a heck of a lot of hot vapour coming out of the (closed) detergent drawer - the corners of the LCD display have started steaming up An amateur guess would be that maybe some part of the heating s…
