Hello all, Just got a quick question about what the temperature potentionometer dial controls on the Worcester Bosch 240 combi-boilers. I have long been under the impression that it only controls the temp of the water coming out of the taps and as such I have always set the dial at 1 as...

No, it isn't really stiff at all - the drum does wobble about a bit both up and down as well as laterally when you push it down and let go. But I think that the noise has been cured - the cold water feed hose had got tucked up against the side of the machine and I think that when the machine was...

I can easily push down on the top weight and the whole drum assembly will easily go down a good three or four inches until the shockers hit their stops. There is hardly any resistance there at all and I don't need to apply much force to push the whole drum down at all. Guess I need a couple...

Thanks, will have a look and see what's occurring!

Hello all Have had the above washing machine for some time and repaired it a few times with help from posters on this site, so maybe somebody may be able to give me some advice on a new issue with it. The machine has gone very noisy during its final fast spin, but strangely only during...

Thanks, I wondered if it might be a type of 'u-bend' effect to keep any nasty stenches out! Won't start dismantling anything then looking for a non-existent problem! Cheers.

Just got a quick question about the above. The red 'Check Water' LED came on today on the front of the machine and the Mrs said it wouldn't run while it was on. I came in from work and flicked through the manual and as instructed undid the filters that sit in a little sump at the bottom of...

Ah well, will keep an eye on it. It is well and truly warped on our machine but my bespoke seal seems to be doing the job at the moment. Thanks again.

Thanks rocks. Are they prone to deforming in the way I've described on mine?

If its the same as mine, you put the upturned end of the wire in the little cut-out at the end of the square-piece of the plastic block and pop it back over the small circular clip that protrudes from the front of the machine and pushes into the small hole in the middle of the square block to...

A spin of the machine the following morning unfortunately disproved my theory and left me again with a wet floor! However, upon removing the front of the machine again a further look around revealed another possible culprit. At the bottom-front of the plastic drum is a water outlet that is a...

The only thing better than a fixed appliance is a satisfied missus.

I may have stumbled on a solution to this after posting earlier. I managed to undo the clip holding the door seal in and removed the seal and front facia. On the right-hand-side of the drum I could see a track of water droplets starting about half-way up the front of the drum. On closer...

Could do with help / any suggestions relating to the above. Water is leaking from the bottom of the machine, seems to be internally and from the front end of the machine. Taking the thin strip off of the back of the bottom of the machine and shining a light in shows a lot of water droplets...

Bought some new brushes this morning and popped them in, machine is now working a treat again. Thanks very much for your help - posts on this forum must be saving people a small fortune and helping save the planet in some small way also - just imagine the number of serviceable machines that are...
