Thanks mate. I’ll take a look at the weekend. I did ask about noises and apparently the machine was making a royal racket not long before it stopped working. There are five of them and do a lot of washing if that gives any clues!

I guess it’s a case of how I would even test for beaming failing etc Trouble is I’m only round theirs at the weekend so it’s hard to find a time to do this. I feel she should contact Hisense and mention first - it can’t be much older than 18 months / 2 years. I can take the belt off and see...

Ahh I didn’t check with the belt off whether is spun freely tbh. I’ll check that next time around (they’re bringing any washing round to mine atm, ironically exactly the same machine!). If the motor or bearings have gone and it’s not serviceable what’s the solution - new machine? It hasn’t...

Btw. I’m around there now and have just tried to hand turn the drum and it’s not freely turning (it’s jittering with a little force). I definitely placed the belt on correctly. Possible fix for this?

That’s a great shout actually! I’ll do that (or at least the kids mum can as she’ll have all the details!).

Good point - I'm not actually sure but I'll ask over the weekend. I'd say at least 2 years, possibly longer. I did photograph the model number so I'll dig that out, Would be ideal if it's just that at fault (and presumably somerthing than can be removed fairly easily?). I'll have a good look...

Ahh, I understand. So literally a case of unscrewing the wires (if that's how they're attached) on that bottom circuit section from the motor above? In the pic I posted I presume it's the cables in the plug (white, yellow etc) rather than the blue and black which look soldered to the board...

Is it quite obvious which theee leads are attached? I’ve put it all back together but will head over at the weekend and take another look. I do have a multimeter but it’s been so long since I’ve used one I cannot n remember how to use it!! Set it to resistance and take it from there? Thanks!

Thanks for this. I have performed the hard reset but haven’t tried the rinse/spin cycle (just tried a 15 min wash). Checked the bottom right filter and although there was a bit of leakage the filter was pretty clear (cleaned it anyway). The wiring all looked fine (everything looks ‘brand new’)...

Drum turned fine, belt is ok, drains ok etc No damage as far as I could see There is an F08 code btw.

Hey all. My ex's/kids mother's waching machine is not currently working (I have the exact same model). I went round last weekend to try and fix thinking it was likely the brushes (machine was filling etc but the drum wasn't turning. I took the motor out and quickly realised (and had this...

Hi folks. Haven't posted in here for some time but good to be back! Went through a separation a few years ago (and most of my posts pre that time were about the family home which I eventually left....but I digress!) My daughter lives in the conserfatouyr converted into a bedroom. All good...

So my question is (given I can't find the exaxt match) would something like this work? It's 1700w like the old one but has a slightly different look to it (with those prongs at the front). I've used compatiable elements in the past and they've been absolutely fine, more a case of the fit (these...

Ok - managed to get to it. There's a tray which sits under the oven released via screws at the front and back (there's a warmer drawer under the oven). So could release the element and take a look. This is the lower element - I'm struggling to find an exact match - is it necessary to exactly...

Hi all, Had anybody any experience of changing the lower element in these ovens? The oven currently doesn't raise higher than 150 degrees. I've changed the fan element in the past (take off the housing from the front as seen in the ouc belowe then remove the casing from the back of the oven to...
