Re: Beko WMA 1614W burning smell & shuddering

That’s exactly what happened…. the electric tripped out and had to be reset and it hasn’t been the same since.

Can just the armature be replaced or does it need a complete new motor ?

Re: Beko WMA 1614W not spinning

Hi iadom… sorted !! Took the back off and came across the dreaded Torx bolts when I was expecting standard nut and bolts. Of course I didn’t have that size screwdriver, but by some miracle I was able to access and remove the brushes from each side without removing the motor. A bit of careful manouvring and a mirror did the trick.

The whole job took me about an hour in all, and it now spins like a dream. In fact I thought it would end up next door but one !!

Thanks for all your help mate … not bad for a red 😉

Re: Beko WMA 1614W not spinning

Thanks iadom. I’m gonna have a go at replacing the brushes as we’ve had the washer for many years now and they must be due.

It washed and then stopped when trying to spin. I cleaned the filter out and it did another 3-4 revolutions and stopped again. I guess this is symptomatic of brushes ?

I’ve watched some carbon brush videos on Youtube but can’t find anything on Beko… are they like another make maybe ?… Hotpoint, Whirlpool ? Also I can’t locate a user/service manual to step me through it. It looks straight forward enough for some washers but is there anything I should be aware of or different with Beko ?

many thanks guys

Re: Whirlpool AKZ151/wh not heating

Managed to get the heating element out tonight and measured it with an ohm meter. It measured infinity, does this mean it’s goosed ?

Re: Whirlpool AKZ151/wh not heating

Thanks again, I’ll give it a go.

Re: Whirlpool AKZ151/wh not heating

Many thanks Penguin45. Is it just a case of taking the back off the oven and pulling it out ? Are they easy to fit ?

Re: Hotpoint DWF40 not emptying & flashing lights

Your a genius Penguin45. Stripped it down again today and checked the impeller…. sure enough there was a piece of plastic from the knife & fork tray wedged in the blades.

removed it and re-assembled and hey presto !!!! ……….. the marigolds are back under the sink again !!!

Many Thanks

Re: Hotpoint DWF40 not emptying & flashing lights

foolishly I only washed it through, to try to clear any debris but didn’t turn the propeller at all. Have I taken the right pump out ?… ie the small one that connects to the waste pipe ? There was also a big one which I couldn’t get off. Also can I test it external to the machine ? Any ideas of the voltage to drive this ….240AC , 12v dc etc ? I’m an electronics engineer so I’ll give it a go.

I’ll strip it down again tomorrow …….. Happy days !!!

Thanks

Steve

Re: Hotpoint DWF40 not emptying & flashing lights

Hi there

this probably isn’t the best way to do it but I blew down the waste pipe ( connected to the sink drain ) as hard as I could and I could hear it at the other end in the plug hole.

I assumed from this is was clear ?
