You can't fix a wood floor to a concrete subfloor. I'll just have to make the best of it but I hope you appreciate as not a professional myself I trusted a trades person who is a professional. Clearly not in this case. It's just depressing

Problem solved. I hadn't got the element in the small metal housing. I'm a Muppet!

I have just fitted the exact model and size heating element in my LG washing machine. Turned it on and a horrible metallic scraping/knocking sound coming from the back of the drum. No loose objects or anything in the machine so what on earth can it be ? This wasn't happening when it was last...

But there is no damp on the floor due to lino being in between.

OK, but that aside the wood shouldn't be continuously expanding after he adjusted it by taking some off.

It was laid on lino, that is on concrete, with green felt underlay. I can't see what else it could have been laid on. I did question if the lino should be left and he said it was fine and would act as extra cushioning.

Well this area has got far worse these last couple of weeks after fluctuating within acceptable parameters all winter. It got this bad last year a few weeks after it was laid. The guy who fitted it came back to finish the tiling and noticed it himself. He rectified it by cutting away some of the...

Thanks, that's very helpful and incredibly cheap on Ebay. It has a missing part that my old one has (hence hole) so I just hope that isn't the part that failed, otherwise I shall use it.

Thanks but £52 seems incredibly steep :oops: The larger one I got on Ebay was £21.

Can anyone please direct me to the correct element as I just can't seem to find the right one that fits a 1700W machine as they are usually 1600W. I would be very grateful as it seems like rocket science. Thankyou.

Ok, managed to get it out but being a Muppet I have obviously ordered the wrong part. The saga continues!

Ok, I have the replacement and watched a Youtube video on how to get it out. the guy used plyers and it was as simple as pulling carrots. Not so for me. tried pulling the nut on the end of the thread for purchase. It's impossible. Help!

Yes, my brother in law told me it's a hard job but he will do it as he has replaced them before.

OK, so I had my brother in law (more experienced with washing machines) test the heating element with a multimeter and it is dead. The replacement part is only about 20 odd quid so worth the gamble I suppose. The reason I say that is because the control panel is not flagging up any error of the...

That sounds a great idea! Will give it a try thanks. I have a multimeter but I am a novice how to use it to test something like this but happy to learn.

I have one of these LG washing machines that is excellent when working but of late (purchased 2015) the water in the wash fails to heat. The cold inlet is fine as the machine fills up and also runs a complete cycle but the pods don't seem to dissolve either. Contacted my local appliance repair...

He was servicing the boiler.

Ok, thanks. There is a live gas pipe there but it's been there many years. I did ask my gas engineer and he said pretty much the same as you guys. I don't want to chip away at it anymore for obvious reasons.

The builder who did some work on our kitchen was supposed to knock out all the hard concrete and replace with old floor tiles up to the door. After chipping away and leaving a hole he never returned to finish. Can anyone advise what is best to re-fill this hole as I don't think normal mortar...
