This perfectly ancient dishwasher has worked for 28 years! the only thing replaced is a wheel for one of the shelves. The frontdisplay is a bit manky behind the clear facia. Today however it has packed up. Seems there is an issue with the remote solenoid valve/ filter. After purging water at...

Machine makes slight thumping noise about once per revolution in both directions. Seems to be from the drum. (Drum was marked using tape but strangely noise is not repeated at same point as one would expect but seems to occur slightly more than one revolution). Rear bush/bearing looks fine...

I assume you have removed the clamps. The short hose should come off the stub and the chamber out of the hose. Can you get a small screwdriver in between the hose and the stub of the container and move it round the stub to break any grip the hose has on the container stub. Likewise can you not...

Frank. If these holes are near the centre of the outer rear and water is coming out it indicates that the bearing seal has failed. Water will now be getting in to the bearings and they will gradually break up. If is possible to replace the bearings and seal but it is a labour of love. Most...

This machine will not commence a wash, spin or anything When switched on at mains nothing happens. The On/Off button does not appear to function when pushed. However when the start /pause button is pushed various lights come on. The light on the start/pause button pulses very slowly. Various...

This three year old washer dryer switched itself on during the night. The door was ajar. Various lights are now displayed but the main power switch does not turn the machine off(or on). However the start/pause button(green) which pulses now does turn the machine on/off though it is impossible to...

Does this condensor drier not have a microswitch on top of the internal water collecting box. It is acivated by float switch that rises up and cuts off power to heater. Accessible, just by removing left panel- viewed from rear.,

Can anyone suggest a supplier for this item or a Universal type that will replace it. Capillary length of 1800 though slightly shorter one might do.

I wonder if this fridge ever had adequate ventilation from the start!

Tumble drier uses loads of electricity compared to fridge. Fridge shouldswitch off regularly and go into auto defrost mode melting ice before resuming chilling cycle.. You should be able to feel warm air blowing out of front right vent underneath door. There is a small flap on lower side of...

According to my mother inl aw this fridge is not holding a low temperature. Each time when I call to see it the temperature is about 10 degrees and there is no ice on the back wall. Not sure if it has just been in defrost mode hence the slighly higher temperature. The freezer section according...

Check cooling fins or coils are free of dust to ensure that heat is lost from he appliance. My integrated fridge used to freeze up all the time and never went into defrost mode despite loads of ice on rear wall of fridge. Vaccuumed the coils clean of a small amount of fluff/dust and has worked...

Thanks Rocks1 but this tray looks like the fridge was built round it! Although it looks to be a separate piece I think I can see a plastic pillar placed in the centre of it to which I suspect it is attached. If the tray is to come out which direction is ti meant to be extracted?

Bad enough that milk spilled inside the fridge but it appears (smells like) some has run down defrost hole at rear and into the tray where defrost water gathers. Yes the milk was not stored in the door! This tray appears virtually inaccessible with only a small gap allowing partial access and...

My larder fridge of 17 years vintage started to do this. I was about to condemn it to scrapheap as new thermostat seemed prohibitively expensive. By chance I took it out from under the worktop. I vaccuumed the coils that dissipate the heat and also the fanblades that circulates the air across...
