Hi
My washing Machine seems to be having some diffculties, every now and then it makes a loud screeching noise when it goes from short wash to rinse. This sound use to occur more when i first purchased the machine but now it is not happenning so often. This was a second hand machine and the man i purchased it from said i might have got a sock stuck in there somewhere. Everything seems to be working fine its just now and then mabe once a week or even less now, it makes a loud screeching noise for mabe 20 seconds when going from short wash to rinse usually. I was wondering if anyone knew what could be causing this and is this going to effect my machine drammtically in the long run if i dont get this fixed. The screeching is not happening as often now and i can live with it happening now and then but i just want to know if it will effect my machine in the long run and what might be causing this. Thanks.
Re: Loud Screeching Sound
You didn’t give us the make and model number?
If it’s a Servis it almost certainly will be the pump!
Re: Loud Screeching Sound
Its a Smart Drive 051, It Doesn’t say what make it is, but it is most likely a Kelvinator.
cheers
Re: Loud Screeching Sound
It’s a Fisher and Paykell appliance. Therefore you are a very long way away and upside down as well. Martin is quite right, your drain pump needs repacing, probably as a matter of some little urgency. Screeching is usually a result of water leaks, so the pump will probably be somewhat rusty when you look underneath. It’s a twist fit – power off before touching anything – the pump is often live so long as the machine is plugged in.
P/no 426719P if you need to order a replacement.
