washing machine

Good day, Please can you advise on the below. I have a Miele w842 premier washing machine that starts to fill with water as soon as you switch the machine on (press the "on" switch). No program has been selected yet and the start button is not pressed. I can confirm that the small pipe connected...

Hi, I have a toilet with drain in the floor. I want to screed the floor, raising it about 100mm, and add a new toilet, sink and washing machine trap. My first thought was to get an extender that will be buried in the screed. This would then join a 90 degree pan connector with boss, to connect...

Looking for a bit of advice on our washing machine. It's a Bosch Classixx 1200 Express (WAE24162UK) and until now has been faultless in operation. However last Sunday it began to trip the mains about 10 minutes into a cycle. The main panel lights up, the drain pump seems to work, the motor...

I have a recurring issue with my bosch logixx 7 integrated washing machine. After completing a wash, if I switch the washer off it will not swtich on again for around 72hrs. When I select a programming using the dial nothing happens, no lights etc. It is as if the washer is dead. After approx...

Hi, I'm attempting to extend the plumbing under the sink a little, as the drainage pipe on the new washing machine doesn't reach the spigot. I've bought a mcalpine flexcon 4 pipe thinking i could just connect that onto the tee and then attach the spigot to the end of that. The problem is that...

I have an Indesit Washing Machine (Indesit WM12x). The inner clamp band for the seal came off the other day. and it is proving to be a right bugger to get back on.. I have tried literally for a few hours, with help and still failed. Is there a special way to make the spring join up, as shown in...

Hi everyone My first time here and a bit of a tale of woe. I had a laundry room built in my basement and it looks fab. but I'm getting bad smells and I think it is because a p trap was not fitted to the waste. (and it is here dear readers that I curse myself. Back story: the builder turned...

Apologies if this is amateur to the extreme and not particularly clear. Arrived home, electric had gone out. My partner flipped the RCD switch back up and there was a flash and a loud bang from either the washing machine or the socket it was plugged in to - unfortunately hard to tell as it was...

I've stupidly cut the end off my Whirlpool WWDC9440 drain hose while attempting to extend it (I cut the wrong hose!). I now cant make good any join using clips and the corrugated pipe. My preference is to buy a new drain hose (preferably 2.5m) and fit this. However, I'm loathe to pull the washer...

Hi, I appreciate this is probably going to make me look stupid but having no clue about even simple plumbing I've come here to ask the experts!! We've recently noticed the drum of the washing machine filling with water that goes down the kitchen sink. I've had all of the pipes off under the...
