    Re: Beko WM1512S Washing Machine not filling with hot water

    Many thanks for all the replies and info. I’ll give this is a test using programmes 1-3 to confirm whether it fills with hot water. The machine is right next to the combi boiler, so only a very short run of pipe, therefore I can easily tell when the hot water inlet is being used by the machine.
    I was comparing how this machine works to my previous old Hotpoint WM61 machine. As soon as I switched that on, on any programme – including the 40 degree one – the combi boiler would fire up. That’s why I noticed a difference with this machine, as the boiler doesn’t come on when I switch the machine on.
    Also any idea how long the quick wash is meant to take, as it doesn’t seem so quick, it takes at least 2 hours, which makes me think that this feature isn’t actually working! Thanks.

    I guess that would only apply to cold-fill-only washing machines, whereas mine is hot and cold fill? So I would expect the water to be hot in the detergent drawer, as it should be drawing it in from the hot inlet, but isn’t doing so for some unknown reason! Any ideas? Thanks.

    Oh OK, yeah I realise they’re nearly all cold-fill these days. My trouble is that, even when I select the 40 degree options, the water in the detergent drawer is cold, definitely not 40 degrees. Even if it isn’t taking in hot water, for whatever reason, I would expect it to at least heat the cold water to the stated temperature. Could it be a case of a faulty thermostat or something, maybe it thinks that the temperature is too hot and hence lets the cold water flow in? Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. I wasn’t aware that a lot of washing machines used cold water, which begs the question, what does washing at 40 degrees, 60 degrees, etc. mean then? Shouldn’t the water that fills through the detergent drawer be at this temperature? I’ve attached a picture of the washing options, which ones are equivalent to boil washes? Thanks.

    lol, ok no worries, hope you feel better soon.

    The noise is kind of a grinding noise. I’ve read some other posts on different dryers and some people suggest that it’s either something stuck between the drum and the lining (if that makes sense!) or it could be the jockey pulley, which is still available to buy. Any idea if it’s easy to check if either of the above could be causing the problem?

    Thanks.

    Hi K.

    I’ve had a look at the label on the dryer and here’s what’s displayed:

    M. CIC60 01
    N. 37616489 0241 1208
    G. 0000
    Type TCM01

    I assume the “M” stands for model number and the “N” for Serial Number, not sure what the others mean!

    Does this shed any light on which version I have?

    Thanks.

    Many Thanks for the replies.

    If I turn the drum using my hand, I can hear the noise when doing this. Does this point to a worn drum bearing? How easy is this to replace and are any special tools required in order to change the bearing? Should I look at changing any other parts, e.g. seals, at the same time, whilst I’ll have it all apart?

    I’ve had a look on the website but can’t see many parts for the Candy CIC60 model, have you got a link to the bearing for this model’ bearing please? Thanks.

    Re: Candy CIC60 Loud Noise problem

    Hi. Thanks for the quick reply.

    Is there any way to check what exactly is gone, i.e. is something going to be broken or have play in it? And are there any guides on how to start disassembling it? Once I’ve got it disassembled, hopefully I’d be able to see what’s wrong? From what I’ve read, you have to diassemble everything from the front on this model.

    Can all parts be bought from this website?

    Can I just keep it running like this or i something gonna eventually break?

    Thanks.
