Had my washing on a cycle, when it drains the water it gets very loud. Sounds almost like rattler-ling. Its fine at spinning and filling water just happens when it drains.

Would anyone here know what might be the cause of this?

The bloody thing has just run out of warranty Sad

I would guess debris in the pump filter. Someone leave things in their pockets or something? Your machine should have instructions for removing and clearing out the pump filter, but on most machines I've seen the housing is on the front, at the bottom. Usually behind a flap and then you unscrew the pump filter and remove what's inside. Watch out because there will be some water in there so have plenty of towels or newspaper ready to catch it all as it comes out.

Yep Very Happy

Edit: Now I think about it this section is entitled Workshop. People repair many things in a workshop, including washing machines. So I suppose not Wink

That would be a cheapy built by Haier in China...they have a build cost of $45...

If the pump is still actually running then you have something caught in it...you'll need to unscrew the chamber of it to retrieve said object and hope the pump survives...they have a lifespan of about ten minutes after the guarantee i'm afraid Confused

But Guys.... There is a special forum for dishit..

www.washingmachinechatforum.com


Use it. Rolling Eyes

I don't have a problem with anyone rolling/dragging non-bike gear into the workshop for repair so long as they don't use all the hand cleaner and paper roll from the bog.

And buy the biscuits.

Actually, virtually nothing is manufactured in Europe these days! Most production is in China, Turkey, Czech Republic, or South Korea in that order.

Even Bosch are mostly manufactured in China now.....

Best place for advice is HERE

Isn't the Czech republic in Europe anymore......

Actually, isn't half of turkey in Europe, the other half in asia or something like that.... Bosphorus, is it?

Washing Machines are a mute subject round here at the moment.

Snowie's killed mine.

First the paddles decided to escape.

Not enough room in the drom for them AND all the clothes a woman tries cramming in it!

"LOOK it says 7kg on the front. Its a fucking washing machine NOT a TARDIS!"

"Well, whats 7Kg?"

"About six bags of sugar!"

"What, you expect me to put your dirty jeans and undies on the bath-room scales before I pu them in the machine!"

"No! Just work on the principle that if the door needs slamming YOU'VE PUT TOO MUCH IN!"

"It Always needs slamming....."

Next the pump decided to pack up.....

YES... even though the paddles had escaped she was still cramming too much in!

I removed the sump..... and was £1.28 ritcher for it!

Actually, I was £1.28, one Sechelles 'quarter', three odd socks, a flannel and half a t-shirt ritcher!

Put it back together...... something went 'pop' in the fuse box.

I think the motor has burned out!

I have given up.....

I have decided that the case has some nice sheet steel in it.....

And I need to make a bracket to take a fuse box on the bike, and patch a hole in the Rangie's bonnet before next MOT.

I now have to find a new control card for my 'old' washing machine, which was stuck under the stairs away from the 'ex', after being 'reconditioned'.... pulled out two years later when I got rid of her, and went pop almost imedietly!

Any-one know where to get a reasonably priced GENUINE control card for a Hot-Point Aqaurius 9928 Washer-Dryer?

hey dont knock washing machine chat
I've used/salvaged bits from WM's to fix all sorts
steel plate for welding/patching wings and making stuff.
bendy Wubber pipes to carry cables or just play with
Wires to cobble into/fix my instaflame wiring looms
that ferkin great concrete block on the drum has all sorts of uses
I used it as a test weight in my top box and a wheel support on my van when changing drums etc
and the small change found in nooks and crannies can be used to buy sweeties

Mmmm! sweeties !

Statutory rights under consumer law, check them out. A washing machine would resonably be expected to last more than a year and on some items you have up to 6 years. That's about the limit of my knowlage, so good luck!

Wow this thread has been pulled up. Well In the end I got someone round who fixed washing machines for a living years ago. He found a hair band in the drainage pump. I got no hair so it's down to my sister. Since I let her move in (hard up, no job etc) shes broken my kettle, washing machine. Not sure what is next but I'm sure something else soon.

Not to bad as he only charged me £10 to fix it. I told her it cost me £30 Thumbs Up
