Is it a big job and expensive - would i be better off getting a new washer. Thanks for you help

Just to add, when i spin the drum by hand i cant hear the noise so maybe the barings, just reading through old threads thats all.

Thanks for your kind help. I can lift the metal inner drum about half inch! and the outer doesnt move. and that would indicate the noise then from the clanking sounds. What does this mean? I thought there should be a little slack . Thanks

My mother erported a very loud banging noise from the washer like the comparison of a large house brick could have been in there. I took the lid off and ckecked inside but all is tight and seems ok. She then attempted to do another wash later and said nothing was happening at all... no water...

Thankyou for your input

Cheers for that ma man. removed the motar and a big chunk of carbon fell from it, must have snapped off from the old brushes i guess. Still cant understand how this could cause a trip like? but anyway Job sorted - mums happy She works a treat, well does now after 3 hours ****ing about...

Cheers pal - Take it thats a job to remove the motar totally. I got away with just putting the brushes in without removal and thought i was good lol. Yer will try this, need to look into removal as i can only get to the first bolt. Do i have to lay flat and get the other from the bottom...

Hotpoint firstedition 8000 Mother reported a problem of burning last week and that the washer wasnt spinning anymore. Looked into this and the Brushes had worn right down. Replaced them both with genuine carbon brushes. Fired it up and worked a treat during the wash cycle but as soon as it...

Hi thanks for replying, Will have to check on the water tank in loft. It's not my house. Wonder What kind of system is installed here. Looks like a Combi boiler, same settings with a pressure filling loop etc but can't understand the need to install a new water cyclinder right next to it...

A few months back now I had problems with a bath mixershower. Anyway the problem was that the water was either too hot or too cold. You could try for ten minutes fiddling to get the temperature right but it wouldn't happen - the shower would either produce redhot or freezing cold. Anyway i...

ok thanks i will have a look at what screws are on show

You could try to remove the email account (not emails) just the settings a nd create a new one. This should sort it.

Hi, I've had my double glazed windows in for about 4 years now. The guys who fitted them cam out last year and the previous year to adjust them. I don't know what they did to the windows but they tightened them on closing. This reduced noise and draft. Anyway now it's getting cold an...

Thanks for the advice on shutting the TRV down D_Hailsham

Ok the problem was with the Lockshield valve - I uses an ajustable spanner to turn this fully left, it was really tight and i thought it was going to break (must not have turned this hard enough yesterday). Anyway it moved about a quarter of a turn - fully left. Immediately the pipe...

Well thanks for the help guys. I will double check the lock shield valve and pin on the TRV. If that doesn't work i will remove the rad and test the pressure at both ends. I have a funny feeling that it will be blocked. Last time i removed a rad with a TRV on water was still pumping out...

I've noticed that the TRV is on the left as apposed to the right on all the other Rads. Could this be the problem, they have conencted the pipework backup wrong or does it not matter which side the TRV's are placed. Thanks

Hi, Recently our work had the builders in and they did a bit of plumbing. Anyway one of the downstairs Rads doesn't get hot, it's totaly cold and i've checked the TRV pin and it seems AOK. It's fed by a combi system. Pressure 2 bar + operating - I've bled the rad and at first there was...
