Hotpoint WMA10P

[dme1]

Hi & happy new year
Can anyone advise me on how to remove and install the blue plastic Drum Paddle from a Hotpoint washing machine WMA10P? One fell off and the wife threw it away because she thought it was some packaging!

Looking at the remaining paddles it appears to be a Version 2 (all the holes at the top are the same size & it doesn't have 3 indents on the front edge)

Thanks

i think they clip in, but if it fell out, perhpas its clip has broken

I agree, that's why I wanted to remove one of the remaining paddles. I could then see if anything on the drum is broken (I believe there is a metal retaining lug).

Have you any idea how I unclip the remaining paddles?

no

order a new one, and clip it in, also look at existing one to see if anything looks broken off (ends)

I would look at the existing paddle, but I don't have it. As I said in the oriignal post my wife threw it away, thinking it was a piece of unwanted packaging. That is why I wanted to take one of the others off, so I could take a look and see if there was anything wrong with the drum.

no chance of rescuing it then?
