    Hi all,

    I’ve recently acquired a 2nd hand washer dryer. The dryer does not work which is fine, I knew this before getting it. After running it now for some weeks I have the following questions

    a) 3rd time this has happened now, after the main cycle has finished a load, clothing is still soaking wet, there’s still water in the barrel with the soap. The dial goes all the way to the end like it should have rinsed and spun, but its like it skips that whole section and just turns to “stop” . It then needs a rinse and spin manually even after its done the load. (Not manually by hand … you know what I mean … have to turn dial to rinse and spin) 😆 .. so on the rinse and spin cycle is not working. Not taking water and not rinsing soap out or draining I suppose.

    b) Makes a lot of noise on the wool spin cycle … like something broken moving in there … has made the same clucking / clunking noise on the main cycle before also.

    c) The filter appears to be on the front at the bottom right corner. How do we take this out to clean it?. We’ve tried to open it to clean but are worried about breaking it. Kinda comes out only a bit.

    Any help or advise is greatly appreciated. ( FYI – The info on this forum allowed me to get an extra year of work out of the last machine I had 😀 )

    Thanks… TJ

    Hi

    It sounds as though you do need to clean the filter.
    If machine cannot pump out water it will abort the program.
    To get the filter out you just have to unscrew it and pull , if its tight its because it needs cleaning, so have plenty of towells around.

    Thanks for the advise. I’ll give it a try tonight and let you know how I get on.

    Hi …

    Okay, here’s what happened, we managed to get the filter out. Had to force it out which broke the filter a bit as there were a whole bunch of these metal pieces in it.
    They’re around 60mm (2″) long and about 15mm wide. They’re not compltely flat (like half moons) and were about 13 or 14 of them in total.
    I’m guessing that these must be some part of the machine… perhaps they are vanes of some type? Any ideas what these things are?

    I took a few shots with my mobile phone so if you need to see them then let me know and I’ll try load them up somewhere.

    We did a test cycle with just a towel and it seemed to rinse and spin ok, but its early days.

    Thanks… TJ

    I’ve uploaded the pics to TinyPic so they’ll only be there for 30 days. Unless they get a lot of hits for some reason 😉

    The pics are not of the best quality but they should be ok to illistrate them things we found.
    My wife had stuck them into a toilet roll to see if they;re a fan perhaps 😉
    You can see some of the small white plastic bits that were broken off the filter also.

    Mmm… time I got a better phone. :rolls:

    Does it look like these could be from the something meant to be in the machine? … they have like a small 90 degreed angle lip at the end of them which you can barely make out… some are missing…

    Thanks… TJ

    Looks like the remains of a dryer fan.

    Hi

    Dryer fan Part no 268010200 is required .
    Machine will work OK as a washer but the dryer will not work without the fan. Posibily time for engineer to check out machine to find out why fan broke up


    POWER OFF BEFORE OPENING UP MACHINE

    Yeah, that’s what we suspected. The dryer part of the washing machine was broken when we got it. We don’t really need the dryer so its not a problem.

    Would that explain why it was not rinsing and draining properly? (Also why it doesn’t seem to take all the soap in the tray properly)

    Thanks… TJ

    Hi Mike.. we don’t really need the dryer part working as we have a dryer already. However, it would increase the re-sale value if it was working.
    Would you know more or less how much that part would cost perhaps? A ballpark figure would be fine. I searched the shop using that reference but couldn’t find it.

    Thanks… TJ
