this machine runs a self test on the motor. if it's not happy it will shut down the cycle no matter what it's doing. trade will charge anywhere between £35 and £75. just get yourself a set and fit them yourself. remove the back panel and the motor is held on by one 13mm bolt. undo it and turn...

as far as i'm aware the hotpoint slimlines are now indesits rebadged since they took over the hotpoint brand. the hotpoints always used to be bosch. the only bosch problem that i'm aware of other than fair wear and tear, is that the solder joint for the heater tends to fail on the push button...

get hotpoint out for £95. they will honour their five year parts warranty and replace the entire washtub and drum etc. with this you should be getting a modified version less likely to fail. incidentaly if the tub has been leaking water on to the motor you should try for a replacement of that as...

if it's betwen the tub and the drum front you may get it with some bent nose pliers by gently easing back the silver lip to get access. if it's between the tub ond the drum barrel then you may get it by removing the sump hose or the heater element. if you don't know where it is and your wash tub...

fitting a zanussi seal without practice is a pig of a job. first of all you must make sute that the seal itself is firmly seated to the wash tub. once you have done that then you must put the spring around the seal as far on as possible. you may find it helpful to tilt the whole machine back to...

cheap own brand detergent. have you recently swapped brands. the cheap stuff is no where near as good as lets say finish.

if rotation is the only function that's missing then i'd check the control module for a dry joint on a motor relay

the first thing to do is check the filter housing for something like a stuck bra wire which would prevent the pump from turning. if you can't find anything then you can drain off all water and tilt the machine backwards( switched off of course). behind the filter area you will find your pump. i...

we need to rule out a few things. there are a few reasons why your machine may act like this. 1. faulty, blocked, partially blocked drain pump. to test this select cycle A . this is a final rinse and a long spin. watch it to make sure that the water drains out in a reasonable time. i.e. no...

it's pot luck wether you get mould on the seal. it's got nothing to do will your cleanliness. a customer of mine used to work in a door seal factory. she said it was to do with not curing properly during manufacture. you won't get it off so if it really bothers you you'll have to fit another seal.

sounds are very difficult to descibe. i will say though that it's about due for a new pump which would explain the sound whilst draining and drying. it could also just be something in the pump.

which model is it. i suspect it may be an awm337 or an awm 328 or similar. also how old is it and how much use does it get?

the black mark was probably a dry joint on a motor relay. i assume you cleaned the joint thoroughly before resoldering it. also you wil find two resistors in parallel. they will probably be 6.2k. it's very common for these to fail. i replace these with two 5.6k ceramic resistors from r.s...

unplug your machine and remove the lid. on the dryer heater box you will see various thermostats. i.e. small beige coloured attachments with two connectors on each. one or more of them will have a small button in the centre. pres this button gently and feel for a "click". if you get a click...

does the door lock?

did it drain all of the water out? you may think you cleaned it out, but i've been suckered a few times by a 5p piece lodged in pipes and filter housing outlet.

this sounds totally unreasonable. i would be seeking a full written explaination from the engineer. this should detail where the water is coming from, and how in their opinion it has been caused. obviously any water from inside the machine should be covered by warranty. however the other extreme...

don't think so. certain stores in the northeast give a two year on everything, but i can't comment on elsewhere.

he's not the only one.

sounds like the actual switch beneath the button cover is clogged with grease or something. sqirt a bit of wd 40 in it. it may free it up
