    Hi there ,
    I own a BUSH HW60-1460DB
    Washing machine, for about 7 years.
    I started to notice months ago that the clothes come out not very clean at all, and after having a look at the inside i notice that there is little water during washing. I m using a standard mode.
    Do you think the problem is the low amount of water? Please see pic for reference
    Many thanks 😉

    That is a normal water level so that is not your problem. It could be several things like, over dosing with detergent? Wrong program choice? Overloading? Pump filter partially blocked? Etc etc….

    Well looks a bit lower than I would expect but not by much! Since Partmaster only shows 10 parts for your Chinese made machine of which only 1 is really relevant specifically to you and that is a heater at a totally rip off 70 odd quid I will make a guess as there is not very much info on these things.
    Low h2o level. Possible that one half of the solenoid is o/circuit from very much a failing memory there is one valve but 2 solenoids. To test: power off wires to each soleniod remove each solenoid at a time. Set multimeter on 200 ohms any reading circ 3.8 / 4 is normal = valve is ok. But jet nozzle in soap box might be blocked with lime – fairly common
    Could be the heater to part earth or even o/cicuit = poor wash. A multimeter is not much good at proving the former but ok for testing the later. If no meter set at 60 degrees does the door glass get hot/hotish? If it is the heater take a note of its wattage, look up the part on p/master and see if you can get a look-a-like one that will do the job for less than 20 / 15 quid, 70 quid is insane a shame on Partmaster!.
    I take it the drum goes around on wash and it spins well? How good is the pump out?
    I would of thought that if all else appears well it is going to be a fairly daft fault much akin to what Martin points out.
    Let us know.

    Or even: testing the ” latter.” Sorry!
