washing machine

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...

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can offer some help. We have an old shower at the back of the house and would like to put the washing machine in there. The shower base raised and I wondered if it is possible to use the shower drain as the washing machine waste. I would want to run the waste pipe...

Hi. We have a Siemens WI14S440GB washing machine - aka SI 14.44. It threw an F43 error the day, so I've taken it to bits and replaced the brushes (both of which had worn to under 10mm) - but the F43 persists. The new brushes are installed correctly and in contact with the commutator and the...

Recently bought a Neff washing machine. Actually decided to read the manual for once... and this sheet fell out regarding energy/water usage. Looking at the attachment, the first line is for cotton 20°C, energy consumption is stated as 0.26kWh. Length of programme is 2.75 hours. Does this...

Hi Can anyone suggest a diagnosis for the noise our Bosch Exxcel 1200 express is making? I'm thinking it must be either bearing or shock absorbers but not sure how to tell the difference. Drum seems to be rubbing and then spins off centre at certain speeds and starts knocking against the inside...

Washer has stopped working.... Can anybody shed some light on whatvhas happened to this carbon brush.... fully siezed up and looks like something has melted on to it. Have replaced the faulty one but still doesnt work.... other one is fine... just makes a humming sound in test mode when should...

Hi, I have a 6 year old Miele W1 washing machine (WMG120 GB) which has started to report the "Waterproof" error. I am able to temporarily resolve the issue by dragging the machine out and tilting it backwards to allow the water to escape the catch tray (makes the floor wet but the machine then...

Washing machine makes loud knocking noise on 1400 spins (transport bolts are out and machine is level) I have 12mm laminate on 5mm foam underlay in the kitchen to which the washing machine sits. The rear of the laminate where it reaches the back wall is somewhat 'bouncy' and i believe this is...

Hi, I’m new to this forum, maybe I can get some advice from the experts on this. I have a Miele W828 washing machine that works fine except for a loud noise while spinning. The drum bumps on the glass at two opposite sides. First I replaced the dampers that had no oil in them but the problem...

I cleaned the filter on our (integrated) Beko washing machine. Some long lint/strings/gunk was on the impeller and I pulled it out with long nose pliers. When I turn the impeller it doesn't turn smoothly but it's a bit "jumpy". Is that normal? (I guess there might still be some long stuff...

Evening all, Renovating our bathroom from the timbers up, and it's electrical time. The house (a bungalow) consumer unit is about to be replaced with a modern unit and full suite of RCBOs. The bathroom wiring has the usual lighting circuit, but above the old mirror there used to be a 1 bar...

Hi all, Basically I'm looking to wall mount a microwave which happens to be above the worktop that has a washing machine underneath. The washing machine runs from a socket behind the machine with a standard fused switch above the work surface. The easiest route for me to power the microwave...

I'm aiming to replace the hinge on the door of a Bosch WAQ283S1GB/01 washing machine, with the hinge carrying a part number 9000463344. I have found an equivalent part on eBay, but when I removed the door I found these little plastic fasteners instead of screws. I thought they might be pop...
