Electra AWM 900B washing machine

[lady]

Hi
I have the above washing machine and until recently has been working well. It still washes ok but the spin does not seem to get the clothes dry enough they still come out very wet.It still spins well does not seem to be draging what could the matter be I have tried all the programs and they all end up the same very wet clothes :rolls:

To much detergent causing oversoaping, partially blocked pump filter or sink outlet hose, slow spin or delicate wash selected, clothes not actually wetter but feeling as though they are due to being rinsed 3 or 4 times in ice cold water are among the first things to check.

Hi

Definately not to much detergent have used without any.
Where do I check the pump filter?
Have checked outlet hose.
Have fast spin enabled and only use 2 programs and neither are for delicates

Clothes are actually very wet you can wring some water out of them

Hope this helps

Not 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} certain about the pump filter on that model, the Electra is purely a name used on many different manufacturers machines sold by the old electricity boards.

The pump filter, if it has one will be down at the bottom, possibly behind a small door or a ‘prise off’ plastic kick strip.

Most of the AWM900 machines on the Merloni parts software show a pump filter but don’t list an AWM900B.

Hopefully someone who knows who actually made this machine will have a better idea if it does have a pump filter.

Filter is behind the little door bottom right.

Standard fault on these was the electronic motor control board. There are three different ones depending on the age of the machine. The board has a number printed on it, starting 546——, which is the actual part number of the component. spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will be able to get you one promptly if you wish to keep the machine going.

Pull the filter first and see what happens.
