Hi,
Struggling to remove the filter from a Candy washing machine. The cap of the filter comes out, but it looks like the internal part is stuck in.
I was not able to attach an image, but this is a link to it filter. I have tried to unscrew with two flat screwdrivers inserted in the side gaps...

Hi! I have Siemens Siwamat washing machine model 5030, it is around 25 years old but works fine. BUT I am finding my shirt collars are suffering and wearing out too quickly despite trying the gentler programs. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice as to which new machine would be...
My w/machine's standpipe goes into a p-trap which appears to be a vented type (or is it anti-syphon) - see pic attached. My question is, what is the purpose of the knob on the top of the trap and should it need adjusting to help against gurgling noises? I'm reluctant to loosen it off any in case...
Plumber fitted water connections for washing machine (top connection) and dishwasher (bottom connection).... dishwasher showing water inlet error, which makes me think the valve (on the bottom) is in the wrong position. Is this because the direction of water flow is actually horizontal on this...
Hi all,
I’m in the process of widening the doorway to a cupboard on a block wall so that I can fit in a washing machine.
For your info, the property dates back to 1880 and the single storey extension was likely added in the early 1900’s.
I’ve cut away enough of the block work to accommodate...
Is it possible that an open ring, originating at the washing machine isolator, could cause an F17 door lock error on a Hotpoint w/m?
The last gas/electrical inspection conducted by my social housing landlord, concluded with the engineer reporting an open continuity test on the kitchen r/m...
Hello everyone,
I have a Hotpoint WMUD 9627 washing machine and everytime I switch it on and run a cycle within a second I hear a huge bang in the drum and then the house RCD trips. After this I can't switch the washing machine on as it instantly trips the RCD.
I have opened up the machine and...
Hi, there is slow drainage in my block which I can't control. I want to separate the washing machine outlet from my sink ubend to limit flow up into my sink. And eliminate the vacuum which can suck waste back into the machine when flow is slow.
Picture shows my intended plan. Any flaws?
Grateful...
Hi All,
Could you help me? I'd usually ask my dad about these types of things, but he lives in a different country. I have a washing machine in my Howden's Kitchen, it is a washer dryer combo. Model name says Howden's joinery HJA8900.
In the last few days, the washing cycles have ended up with...
I took the back off my 23-/24-year-old Indesit WG1130TGT washing machine as the drum was either jerking round or not going round at all. I noticed that the back of the outer drum, which contains the wash drum, had been leaking from around the bolt heads as there was washing powder residue...
Hi, I've been staying at a friend's house recently and noticed that clothes would always come out of the washing machine hot, no matter what temperature you set it to. I checked under the sink and discovered the hot water supply has been connected to the washing machine.
1 - would it be...
Hi all, I live in a second floor flat and am in the process of installing a new kitchen, which involves repositioning the washing machine further from the McAlpine P Trap with spigot appliance connections (the sink has a horizontal waste pipe running out the side of the flat into a vertical...
My previous Bosch washing machine gave up after about 12 years, so I've bought a new one.
This one seems to shake / wobble / vibrate a lot more.
It's not 'walking' or banging, but I imagine it can't be good for either the washing machine or the floor.
I have removed the transit bolts and plastic...
Just replumbed the under sink and fitted a check valve to feed the new washing machine. Just did a high water cycle (denim) and the machine is erroring - saying to check the water feed. I'm wondering if the new check valve is to blame? I purchased a bog standard one from Screwfix - is it safe to...
Hi. I have a leaking compression valve (I think) for the cold water feed to the washing machine.
When I moved in to the house a few years ago, it dripped whenever the cold water was turned on- a plumber was checking the (failing) boiler and had a look (I think it was something to do with a...
Hi all
We have an integrated Indesit washer/dryer which seems to have a major issue during the spin cycle.
It is basically in new condition although we've owned it for some time.
We've never been able to use it because when it gets to the fast spin, the whole machine becomes really unbalanced...
We are getting quick step LVT installed in our utility room.
We are now panicking and wondering whether we should've gone with tiling. Isn't a washing machine too heavy to be resting on this floor? Won't vibrations cause issues? Also if there's a leak the water can technically get trapped...
I would like to add a dishwasher to the kitchen for the first time.
I can't put it near the sink without removing cupboards, but there is space next to the washing machine. Are there any obvious problems with this choice of placement?
I am hoping it is an easy job to use the existing water...
Hi,
I’ve got this really small utility room I’m building a diy riser in, to raise the washing machine up a little. The room has recently been carpeted and I’ve read online about being careful or cautious in case of any possible unforeseen leaks from the machine.
The carpet is underlaid and all...
