hi I got this machine just over a year ago it's worked great until about a week ago! The last time it was used it finished its cycle no problem. I put a load in the machine and when you turn it on all the lights and digital display flash it all gradually goes dimmer and the machine does nothing! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as indesit wasn't interested as its over a year old.

HI, We have a Indesit Innex Washer Dryer, We dont use the Dryer side (takes too long) Just on the cycles that are more than an hour about 20 mins in to the Cycle the Error code come up F01 and flashing lights. With some research Indesit say switch off, then after 2 minutes , restart. But back to the error code. Also have tried the Clean Cycle, very strangely it filled up with foam! 45 min Quick cycle works fine along with rinse and spin options. Have checked the pump, all fine there. Just cant get past the Error code! Any help very Welcome!

Our washing machine has a max spin speed of 1500. We regularly use the Cottons programme (which would enable 1500 spin speed at the end) and we have noticed recently that the machine does not spin at its fastest during this (or any) of the programmes. Once a programme has ended we find that we then have to run the Drain/Spin programme separately and only then does the machine spin at its fastest 1500. I wonder if anyone can advise why the machine chooses to spin slower using the built in programmes - whereas I am sure it spun faster previously? We have done the basics such as ensuring machine properly balanced and filter regularly cleaned etc.

Daughter visited us last Christmas "bought some washing down if thats OK?" - yeah no problem. Put it in the washing machine and done a wash . She takes her washing out and says "oh thats strange the clasp part is missing off me bra!" - Oh I says I bet its come off in the machine somewhere "thats OK" she says "it was an old one, don't worry about it, I will get another one" Well I worried about it because it wasnt inside the drum. and i thought about it stuck somewhere between inner and outer wash drum and what damage it could do ,, or be doing! Since Christmas I have cleaned the pump filter every month as normal , nothing but the normal hair and fluff on the fil…

Amana Washer Tandem 7300, NFW7300WW01 Intermittent problem: stops on Drain or Rinse cycle with F1E1 error. Not only intermittent but becoming more frequent Looking for suggestions Have done the following but problem persists: Thorough cleaning of the pressure tube, air chamber, and big rubber boot that connects chamber to the drum. There was a lot of greasy build up so hoped this would fix the problem but it did not. The drain pump seemed to work fine but was quite noisy so replaced it with a new one, but did not fix the problem. Replaced all three relays on the Central Control Unit CCU, part number WPW10525367. Thought this mig…

I have an Ikea Renlig machine (made by Electrolux I believe) from 2015. The belt started to come off so I replaced it by a new one but that didn't help. In the end I found out that the reason is a loose drive pulley. The drive pulley wobbles which makes the belt come of affter a couple of spins. It has also a bit of play in it when turning it in alternating directions. I can't figure out what part is causing this. The shaft seems to be a bit dented right where the metal plate in the drive pulley is attached, but in a way that I'm not sure if it's just how it's manufactured. See some pictures below. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I have a Bosch Varioperfect 4 and until yesterday I've had no issues with it. After a regular cotton wash cycle, the machine hung on 1 minute remaining and just sloshed the laundry and water around the drum with no drainage. This continued for at least 20 minutes. I turned the machine off and drained through the front-panel hose. I also opened the filter which was full of water but otherwise no physical blockage. I then ran a 15-minute superquick wash cycle which worked fine, and I could see it draining (I can physically see the output outside my house). I then put on another regular cotton cycle and again it hung on 1 minute remaining for at least 10 minut…

Hi. Thanks for looking at this and for any advice...... Basically I tried, unsuccessfully to replace the heater element on my Hotpoint WMFUG842G. Somehow (me banging it) the seal has been pushed inside the drum and there is no way now for me to remove the heater. I've tried my hardest to pull it out with no success. While trying to lever it out with pliers I managed to chip the actual plastic of the drum that the seal fits into so am now worried that if I do manage to remove and replace the heater it may leak. I accept that I may have to pay someone to repair it (if it's possible to repair) but don't want to pay someone to tell me it's a write off. …

Hoover VT 714 D23 - Error 3 My hoover has been displaying error 3 (unable to drain) when running any warm water cycle. It works without problem on cold cycle. The drum fully drains on any cycle without problem. The pump is fully clear and functional. The tube connecting to the pressure sensor is also clear and without obstruction. My guess is that the extra heat (pressure) from a warm water cycle is triggering the pressure sensor. Is the pressure sensor faulty? Could a new sensor fix the problem?

Hello. I have an Electrolux/Husqvarna QW14692 washing machine. When set to any wash cycle that isn't cold, it stops mid way through the wash, with the counter suddenly going down to 1 and then 0 minutes. It allows me to open the door even though there is water in the drum. No error code is shown. It appears this happens after the first stage of the wash cycle (after 5-10 minutes). If the machine is set to cold the cycle completes. Draining and spinning also work when selected as individual cycles. I've removed the heater element and tested both it and the temperature sensor with a multimeter. They both appear fine. Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks.

My washing machine is starting to fill but then stopping. Error Code is 52. I have tried replacing, tacho, carbon brushes, motor but none seem to remove the code. All wiring looks to be intact. Is there anything else I can try?

I have an AEG ÖKO-LAVAMAT 72640 Update washing machine, 2003 vintage, which means that it is now 20 years old. A fault has developed and I am trying to determine whether it is worth calling someone out or whether I should just call it a day and buy a new washing machine. The fault manifests itself by fault code E10 on the display and the RINSE+ indicator flashes. This occurs after the washing cycle but before the rinse cycle starts. Basically, the machine hangs and no water flows for the first rinse. I’ve been through the trouble shooting causes in the User Information booklet, but none of them apply. I have tried stopping the programme at the point where it han…

Hi. Does anyone know what could be the issue here? Our washing machine works fine, except when I start a wash, it sounds like it’s attempting to pull the water into the washing machine several times before actually fill up. (Not sure if this is useful information but we live in a 1970 block, we have a dishwasher and washing machine attached one pipe using a splitter. (not a plumber so might not be explaining this well)) Thanks! FullSizeRender.MOV

Hi My machine stopped spinning, it was trying to but just kept jerking, then when I done a diagnostic test, 3E2 came up. When I calibrated 3E came on the display. After checking all the connections, I have noticed today, when I turn the drum by hand there is clicking sound which sounds like it's coming from the PCB board. If it's the motor Samsung said it's under guarantee but ends 1st April but still have to pay the labour costs. This machine has already had 2 PCB boards replaced and although during a chat with a Samsung person I wasn't filled with much confidence, I did like this machine as it 11kg so fits a quilt in nicely, could you give me any advice please.

My hoover washing machine came up with (E02), so googled and it said either filter was blocked or the water inlet valve was faulty, checked filter which was ok so replaced inlet valve but will still only will fill with water on a rapid wash or rinse setting. Tried resetting the machine, checked soap tray still nothing, it's a Hoover H-wash 300 lite 10kg 1400 spin model no H3W410TE/1-80. Don't really want to pay for an engineer to come out as its only just over a year old if its a simple fix , any ideas or advice would be really appreciated thanks. Graz

Hi all, My Hoover VT815D22x has been leaking, pooling water from the underside of the machine. On looking inside, I can see there is a trail of water coming from near the bolt holding the weight to the underside of the drum (above the drain hoses). I haven't been able to find any trail of water from further up visible from the underside or with the back of the machine taken off. There does not appear to be an issue with the drain hoses themselves. I also cannot see there's an issue with the door seal. I have not been able to investigate any further yet but does anyone have any ideas where this might be coming from?

Hello, I have a Samsung washing machine and yesterday it decided it no longer wants to run a cycle. It sounds like it's trying to get going but makes a small almost straining noise and runs a sequence again. It does this on loop until I turn it off and the mains. I tried running diagnostic but I just get -: as a display. I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong here? I turn the machine off, and turn it back on again holding whilst the third and fourth button from left down. When I try and turn the drum it has resistance and almost jitters as I turn it. However, if I disconnect the motor from the PCB the drum and motor turn smoothly again. Plug the conn…

Hi. We recently returned from a holiday abroad. Started up washing machine. It is a Miele W5740 fairly old, all went fine until near the end of the washing cycle it stopped with technical problem showing in display window. I started it up again and heard a high pitch whining sound. I realised that it sounded like a drive motor running without a load. Stripped it down and found drive belt had come off pulley. I ordered new genuine part drive belt and fitted it. Started machine up drum turning perfectly, but it was on the spin cycle and stopped after about 5 seconds later with the same technical fault showing in the display window. I checked the filter and extract pump impe…

Purchased machine in January this year, my mum realised a there was a bump/ lump in rubber door seal - see pic. Samsung are saying they don't cover the seal in the guarantee - had several calls to and from. Unfortunately been over 28 days since delivery when mum noticed the lump. What could this mean? Water isn't leaking? Is it bad to keep using the machine? Please help and advise!

Hello to you all and thanks in advance for taking the time to help me with my issue. I have the Samsung Eco Bubble wf70f5e2w2x that currently has some power issues. I turn on the device, select the programme and press start. The machine starts it's usual precedure such as locking the door and starting to fill and then I hear the power off tone the machine plays when you turn it off. It then turns itself back on, and then off again and so forth. It's now the 2nd day and now it doesn't even play the tune any more and just cuts in and out in a few seconds interval. I have ensured that the water flow is good and that the filter is also clear from debr…

I bought this last 2017. when I start the program, this code comes after 1 sec, so its very fast. pump is fine, if I put water inside machine, it will pump out. what did I do. 1. clean water intake 2.clean filter I even took out all hoses behind filter. I did google it, and they talk about a water level pressure, I dont know much about that. but maybe someone knows, because this error comes after 1 sec, and first thing it do after on it, its let water out, and spin a few times not letting water in. I can attach a video if nessesary. a technical guy who want to fix our machine said its solenoid-controlled valves, and he can change that,…
