    Hello, I’m new to all this so please excuse my ignorance!!

    I have a Blomberg 1301 ABB washing machine which will not spin.
    The pump runs but the drum only does a few slow speed runs either way then the rotary switch clicks through to stop.
    I have read the similar thread for the 1501. This seems to indicate that the ‘pressure bell’ may need cleaning out – quite possible as the rest of the machine is fairly gunky. Can anyone tell me if this is likely to be the case on my machine, what a pressure bell looks like and where it is.
    Any help you can give me would be gratefully received

    Geoff,
    Remove rear cover of machine, the pressure bell is the white plastic ball at the 6 o’clock position on the rear of the drum, with the black rubber tube coming off it. Pull it off and flush out until spotless. Make sure the rubber grommet is clear as well.

    Pull The Plug First.

    Regards,
    Penguin45.

    You’re an absolute star penguin45. Cleaned out the bottle and the gromet which were indeed blocked with crud and it works a treat again now. If you’ve got a paypal account I’ll electronically buy you a pint.
    Thankyou very much for your help,

    Geoff

    Thanks for those few kind words Geoff. There is a certain amount of basic stuff which evereybody ought to be able to do for themselves – filters and the like.

    Ironically enough, my last call that day was a Blomberg – with a blocked water level control! Unfortunately, the customer had to pay. 😕

    We don’t accept money for help through UKW – if you’d like to make an Amazon purchase through our web link, the site will receive a contribution towards our running costs. 😀

    Cheers,
    Penguin45.

    It’s the posts like these that make all this worthwhile doing and the very reason that these very generous souls help people.

    I would also like to point out that all revenue from Amazon does go back to the trade and the people that help on the site and may well buy them a pint at the next UK Whitegoods meeting.
