washing machine

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...

Hi all, I have a Bosch Classixx 1200 Express washing machine. Its got to be at least 12 years old (it came wit the house!) but has been a very solid work horse but hasn't had any regular maintenance/cleaning. I have been having some problems recently with the fabric softener not draining from...

I have a Candy Grand O washing machine that I have had for about 10 years now. Recently the belt has started to slip off the wheel. This morning it happened for the second time. I have got the belt back on but I noticed that it runs on the back of the wheel, no matter how much I try to guide...

My wife got a small electrical shock when she took wet washing out of the washing machine the other day, so I measured between the washing machine drum and a nearby radiator pipe, i.e. earth. There is a fairly constant 4.8V a.c. potential and a peak current of about 8 mA. Is this sort of small...

We have an Indesit washer/dryer IWDE71255 probably about 8 years old that has started not doing anything on the wash cycle. Water comes in to the detergent draw but then the wash doesn't start and the machine keeps the icon that says its in the wash cycle forever. When it reaches the end of the...

Hi, I need to create a new hole for my washing machine waste pipe as it currently gets squashed by the built in dishwasher next to it. In photo attached current pipe goes through hole at the top and you can see is squashed. I need a hole like the lower one to feed the waste pipe through as I...

Hi all, Our washing machine stopped running through the programmes recently. It would turn on, run through the entirety of the programme time but the drum cycle would not kick in. After a bit of research I figured it could be the carbon brushes which were low. After taking them out at least...

So it turns out I have one of the Hotpoint\Indesit models that likes to occasionally catch fire. I'm a bit annoyed about this as I spent good money on this machine. Thankfully mine has been working perfectly so far. I rang the hotline (on hold for 30 min) only to get a clueless operator who...

Hello lovely people. My washer is not draining due to a blockage. I believe it is a small piece of fabric as it went in the wash and didn’t come out :(. I have opened front hatch and drained machine and cleaned filter and coin catcher at the front of the machine (all clear). Having looked...

Hi all, Our Miele washing machine stopped working a few weeks ago - no lights came on. A quick search suggested the door lock switch. This was changed and the machine worked again for 4 washes. On its last wash it stopped part way though. It has the same symptoms as before - Power to the on/off...

We are having problems with our Hotpoint Aquarius WDL540P washer dryer. It will power on without any warning lights. We can select the programme, and start. It starts to fill with water and the drum starts turning. After a very short time it stops turning and nothing then happens at all...

Hi! I was wondering if someone knows what to do with an indesit washer dryer that is driving me nuts. The machine is in a small cupboard, and every time I open the cupboard door, my bedroom is inundated with a very strong "soapy" smell. It smells like soap scum. I've already ran about 7 cycles...

Evening, This weekend I replaced our washing machine that had broken down with a brand new Samsung. I thought all was fine but then during the start of one cycle I noticed that the combi boiler is firing up each time water is demanded by the washing machine. It fires on for maybe 5-10 seconds...

I've just moved into a new build property, which came with a new Siemens standalone washing machine installed within a utility cupboard (just on its own, not in a housing). When I moved in I tested it to ensure it was working, and found that it just moves around when it gets to a fast spin...

Hi - I've got a feeling the drum bearings are wearing out on a 6-year-old Indesit washing machine as it makes a loud rattling noise on spin cycle. Before I look into replacing them, just wondered anyone in the know thought the noise could be something else? (see video clip). There's no obvious...
