washing machine

Hi - I am installing new kitchen and changing position of sink. Access to soil pipe is 3m from sink and will run behind units with one 90 degree bend. At end of run just before soil path the waste will pick up washing machine and dishwasher waste. Would 40mm pipe be sufficient with...

hi guys, the door lock on my old zanussi aquacycle stopped working so I ordered a new one. Although it's fully compatible, the one that arrived is different and had a different wiring set up. The old one was black and had 3 spade connectors for fitting. The new one is cream and has 3 connectors...

My mum has a Miele Novotronic Premiere Plus, purchased around 1997. Recently, it started to leak during cycles, but was still able to wash clothes. We pulled it out to have a look at the pump (where problems have arisen previously) and now it is leaking far worse. Currently, as soon as we...

I've seen a lot of discussions of washing machines on suspended floors but not much on solid floors. I am putting laminate throughout ground floor, and wonder what to do about the washing machine. My options are: 1. Leave a hole in the laminate to place the washing machine on the screed...

I have a Hotpoint 8KG and an Indesit 9KG washing machine - both share same type and physical size of drum and lifters/paddles. Just wondering why the paddles dont stretch all the way from front to back of the drum. They come about 3/4 a way to front of the drum/door only and stop short. - Does...

Hi all, I have a Beko EcoCare washing machine which has started making a loud screeching noise when the drum rotates. It began doing it yesterday evening during the spin cycle and now even does it when rotating the drum by hand too. I've checked to see if there's anything hard like a coin...

I'm trying, and failing, to install a tabletop dishwasher. I know I need a 'washing machine' valve, which I have, but, what now?! Do I Need to cut the pipe? It seems to be capped. Any advice is appreciated! IMG-20170327-WA0001 by SadieLynne posted 27 Mar 2017 at 10:03 PM

Hello ! I am the owner of a Bosch Classixx 7 Vario Perfect (ref: WAE24368GB) washing machine that got a bit temperamental lately o_O and I hope you can help me to fix it. Here are the symptoms: at the start of a wash program, the drum behaves normally. It spins normally for about 10 seconds...

Hi everyone, Recently we have been having problems with our washing machine and need to buy a new one. We need to turn off the water supply going to the washing machine but it seems like someone has broken the shut off valve tap/switch (see pictures). Would it be possible to just buy a new...

Hi everyone, I have a new washing machine, and it's going in a little space in the back of the kitchen with the boiler. It only needs a cold water supply, and a waste pipe. My problem is there is no plumbing for a washing machine in place. Im looking to plumb into the cold water supply going...

My Daughter has moved into a flat that has no provision for a Washing Machine. There is space for one, but fitting it would need some trickery with the drain hose. I could fit a new proper waste pipe underneath the units, but it's a lot of work considering it's not my flat. I'd not hesitate if...

I have a three year old Hotpoint washing machine. After a full day's laundry it is sitting in perhaps half a cup of water on the floor, directly underneath. I took the top off and I put some detergent in the drawer then ran it on rinse cycle. When finished I looked from the top and the bottom...

Whenever I start a program on Miele w842, within a few seconds the "pre-wash" light starts flashing and the program does not advance. There are washing -machine like noises coming from various parts of the machine but no water makes it into the drum and there is no spinning. There is some...

I've had this machine for ages, so it's no shame on it; must be at least 16 years old. Started a 40° wash cycle, and after a while, I noticed it was silent and dead: no lights on. The program had stopped at the start of the main wash cycle. I advanced the program round to the start again, and...

Hi. I'm hoping someone can help! I put some washing in my Hotpoint WMF740 and turned the dial to program 9; then decided to use program 5 instead, and so turned dial accordingly. However, the digital settings remained the same (1:48, 40 degrees, and 800 spin cycle) as for program 9. I then...
