washing machine

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've got a problem with my washer dryer. Indesit WIDL 126. Sometimes, it doesn't turn as it should (it stops earlier) and then a relay clicks lots of times. This even happens durin spin cycle. On high spin you can hear that the motor suddendly doesn't get power (even the pump) and just a...

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...

Hello all, I am trying to diagnose and hopefully repair my Hotpoint WMD960 Washing Machine, the drum shakes violently and makes a very loud rattle, it can be seen in these youtube videos: here and here I have checked the following so far: * The internal drum has no play in it if I try and...

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...

Hi everyone, Our contractor is finishing a full-house renovation. We have a written agreement which lists all the works that were to be carried out for the agreed price. Inevitably some unforeseen additional jobs came up during the works. Except where explicitly asked, he has not informed us of...

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...
