Hello everyone! I have a logik L814WMB17 washing machine that is about 2 and a half years old. My wife informed me early afternoon today she heard a rattling from it so I investigated and believed something to be in between the drum, took off the sump hose underneath and attempted to taunt it out however I could never even catch a glimpse of what it was. It then hit me that as everytime I move the drum it rattles and is louder when one particular paddle comes round. If it was in between the drum then it would sit on the bottom and not move everytime the drum is moved. I don’t seem to be able to work out how the paddles remove on this machine and can find absolutely nothing online. I would really really appreciate anyone that knows about these machines and could give me some info as to how in holy heaven I remove these damn paddles. Thanks in advance and all the best. Dan
Ps: and by waging machine, I do mean washing machine although it’s definately made me wage a bit this afternoon…
I know this is going back 3 years. If you want to remove a paddle there is a s/steel screw that has to be removed from under the drum so the only real way of doing this is to remove the drum from the tank – a pretty major undertaking. If you want to take the machine to pieces see page 11 washing machine problems 27/12/22 “logik drum bearing change” for how to go about it. Note the mention of the risk of the drum pulley bolt head shearing off = a disaster.
The trouble is trying to do via the sump hose is that the paddle screw CAN BE set back a couple of inches within the rear half of the tank making unscrewing it from the drum a hopeless task. SOME might have this screw towards the front but from memory that still will not help you much as seen via the sump hose hole since the screw still will not be aligned with the sump hole. See partmaster spares site part 3885740pm 2nd picture showing a photo of the drum at an angle showing the screw location, least on that version.
