Re: LG 7.5kg WM1225FD noisy during part of wash cycle

I don’t see how a little magnetic pump can make such a lot of noise.

Can I replace it with a generic pump which would be about 12 quid versus the quoted lg part which for some reason costs £70?

Re: LG 7.5kg WM1225FD noisy during part of wash cycle

Has no-one got any ideas?

The noise is pretty alarming!
I’ve checked both pumps and they seem ok, and there’s no water under the machine or rubbish collected in the filter.

Re: LG WM14220FD not draining

Ah well, it helps if you change the right pump!

I was changing the recirculating pump, (which was easy to get to)

I bit the bullet and called a repair chap (recommended by uk whitegoods)
when I realised the drain pump was on the other side of the filter and was virtually impossible to access without stripping the whole machine down.

Chap came within about an hour of my original e-mail (I was luckily on the way to his next call) and after doing all the stripping down (Which I would have found very hard to do by myself), the new drain pump was installed and I am now back in the laundry business.

It was some plastic lining from a pantyliner which had got itself seriously wrapped around the impeller of the drain pump which was causing the problem. I’ve removed this and will keep the old pump as an emergency spare.

Why oh why do washing machine designers put the drain pump (Which is a thing that often fails) is such an inaccessible spot.

Thanks for your help

Re: LG WM14220FD not draining

Right I’ve changed the pump

but it still doesn’t pump out, no sign of any action there.

🙁

what else could it be? Is there a fuse on the drain pump supply anywhere?

seems to fill and the drum turns round ok (on rinse and spin anyway.

no OE error message this time either when I left it to drain for a while..

Re: LG WM14220FD not draining

yep already ordered one, thanks

I got the old one out and it did ping every quarter turn, but didn’t feel particularly gritty or stiff.

If it’s not the pump, what else could it be? I set the machine to drain and I hear a humming sound but there is no motion in the pump, and no OE error code shows although I haven’t left it running for very long. It sounds a bit like when the dishwasher flood protection cut-out had tripped.

Do you know if there’s an anti-flood cut out on this machine, and if so how to re-set it? It’s not damp underneath the machine, so unless there’s a blockage on the outlet hose (Which I don’t think there is, but is that relatively easy to check too?)

thanks

Re: LG WM14220FD not draining

Should the impeller move freely or is there some resistance due to the pump motor?

I can get the impeller to turn but there’s quite a bit of resistance.

there’s No obvious blockage that I can feel.

How easy is it to change the pump?

Is it just disconnect electricals and hoses and replace the whole unit?

next question where to obtain said pump?

Re: LG WM14220FD not draining

ok I’ll have a look in the morning.

I suspect the pump has given up the ghost trying to pump through the waste blockage, although last time the waste pipe was blocked the water peed all over the floor from back flow!

thanks for the advice

Re: LG WM14220FD not draining

yes, I thought that.

I’ve just found the drain to the sink attached to the same waste pipe is blocked, is there a cut out on the lg machine that would cause the pump to cut out until the blockage was clear?

I’ve got some chemical unblocker working on the waste pipe now, so we’ll give it another go when I’ve cleared that.

It still doesn’t get my daughter’s uniform washed for tomorrow’s school though!

Is it relatively easy to get at the pump to check it?

Re: Neff 1452 oven elements not working

I did check all of that, there were no spare connections lying around, I wouldn’t have left it with a wire loose anyway…

I agree the push on connectors for the fan element are prone to being knocked off as you re-insert the fan element, but that’s woorking fine now, and the old fan element was definitely open circuit.

I’m kicking myself for not checking continuity on the grill element before I fitted it, I just assumed it would be ok straight out of the packet..

Anyway, I’ll check it again and see if I can get a replacement under warranty if it is Open circuit.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

Re: Neff 1452 oven elements not working

Up and running again now,
fan element had blown and I guess the grill element has gone again too, I’ll re-check it some other time, but I can live without the grill element in the bottom oven, I’m a bit surprised it blew so quickly though, maybe it was faulty.., I might try and get a replacement under faulty goods…

Thanks for your help.

Re: Neff 1452 oven elements not working

yes I suppose when you think of it like that, it does make sense…

are Neff ovens any worse than any other brand for fan elements blowing?

I’ve always had Neff appliances 3 so far, and when they’re working they’re fine, but its only this last one that’s failed repeatedly with elements, I wondered whether there were any other likely suspects in the circuitry..

I could just be unlucky I suppose.

If I get my kitchen refitted are there any other makes which are more reliable, and have double oven (one with fan) capability?

Re: Neff 1452 oven elements not working

yes, that’s what I thought, I’ve got one on order anyhow,

But it raises the question why the elements keep blowing, Is there any other overheat sensor or control sensor that could be affecting things?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Neff 1452 oven elements not working

I only replaced the grill element a month ago, so I’d be surprised if that had gone again. I’ll fit the fan element and see if that does the trick.

I checked it with a multimeter and the fan element was OC, but I’m a little worried at the number of times this has happened now I changed the fan element at the beginning of last year and all had been fine until the recent bout of troubles.

If that doesn’t fix it, I’ll get someone in.
