You can get between the drums by removing the sump hose (tub > pump) or by removing the element. Bearings are common faults in this machine, but as you say it could also be somethig stuck there (prob a bra wire)

is the machine doing its spin cycle?

a bucket. dont forget, when your pump stops and water in the drain hose will remain in your drain hose. then gravity kicks in and its all back in your drum.

cold comes in first sounds like the hot inlet valve is faulty. Very easy and cheap to fix yourself

I've sent the heavy's round your way to apply vaseline to your keyboard. That should slow you down next time

The drain hose should go upwards where it leaves the washing machine, with it going higher than the fitting on the waste trap before coming back down. Some traps now come with valves, but other wise the above should fix it.

Not 100% without your model number, but I think you need part number 97910194. ou'll have to search for a site that sells them as I dont think I can mention sites i'm affiliated with.

Scandinova badly designed? Never! :wink:

had this before when theres a hole in the door seal. the black hose you mention is only used when the machine is filling, so it would only leake from there if the machine had too much water when washing.

No problem, sad isnt it when engineers have nothing better to do all night!

Sounds like the carbon brushes on the motor. Unplug the machine and titl is backwords so you can get underneath from the front. On the motor you'll see the carbons, in a black holder, 1 either side of the motor with a wire going to each. Remove the 2 screws holding each carbon in place...

You need a stop end (see below) Screw this where the dishwasher feed pipe wouod go and then you can turn the tap on no problems.

depends if you have a clutch or not, both have different belt arrangements

no you cant, i'd still rather have a sebo though, lasts as long and only costs £200-£250. Cheaper parts too. All down to personal preferance in the end.

the gas needs to settle, if it doesnt you risk writing the machine off

lay it on its side to transport (remove all shelves too) once in place rock it gently, then leave overnight. should be ok to start up in the morning.

Never been a fan or Kirbys, to heavy for many people, parts are too expensive, obnoxious salesman that wont leave the house and performance is not too different from other machines.

I 'm the engineer in a shop which sells/repairs dozens of vaccuums a week. Best idea is forget bagless - all cr*p Best machine - Anything made by Sebo, my recomendation is the X4Extra model.
