Cheers dude, I have a spare somewhere I think. I might get it out and see if it helps.

Thanks

Thanks all, it’s definitely noise migrating into the kitchen ring main from the washing machine. It was a cyclical noise coinciding with a wash and rinse drum rotation.

[USER=”3176″]iadom[/USER] yeah I’ve seen the mains suppressor on the schematic, at the top where the mains comes in, could this wear out or become less effective over time perhaps? I’ve not noticed this issue as bad before tbh, but maybe I wasnt looking, hahaha.

I guess I was concerned that some fault may develop putting safety at risk or something?

Thanks all.

So, a new door seal appears to have fixed the issue….. Will keep an eye on it just to be certain.

[drummonkey]

Cheers, I’ll keep an eye!

Might help to reduce the amount of detergent on the very hottest wash. Also a good clean out of the detergent drawer compartment if not done already.

Cheers mate, yeah our drawer is really clean we always keep on top of it. I’ll check the drawer drainage point. What’s causing your occasional leak if you don’t mind me asking? That kind of describes mine tbh!

Anyone help at all please? 🙁

[drummonkey]

Yep, I’ve struggled with both, I can’t get either in now so the washer is FUBAR unless I can get a new element, FFS. Anyone have any ideas where I might obtain one. Google is not being my friend at present.

Thanks again for all your help.

[drummonkey]

How on earth can you get the element back in? Even brute force isn’t working that well?!!

[drummonkey]

Fair enough, I’ve pulled the element out and it’s coated with scale and there’s a big chunks of scale I cleared out of the hole. It was tough to get out too. Can I clean anymore scale out from the hole in any other way, and could this be the issue perhaps?

Cheers,

So I couldn’t get a reading off the thermistor it was only reading as open circuit, I replaced that with a spare part. Then when I ran a 95 degree cycle it never started to get warm, as I watched it switch to the heating phase, the washer seemed to hesitate and the display flashed but carried on with the cycle. Does that help at all? The thermistor I removed was covered in like a white scale?

[drummonkey]

So should I do a resistance test between one of the terminals of the heater and the earth connection? If so which terminal? Thanks

[drummonkey]

Hi, yes just done it. It’s measuring 26ohm so I think thats okay is it not?

[drummonkey]

Hey, yeah I tried that method above but the machine just lights up as normal. No signs of a reset or anything it just lights up ready to roll on a program as normal with the time in the display.

Is there anyway to get it to cycle through the test process as it won’t do that either, although the manual says it should.

Thanks.

P.s. No I didn’t receive a manual from you, I already have one from an old thread, ta.

[drummonkey]

Also, I thought I could do a reset by holding down start and turning the machine on, but this doesn’t seem to do anything at all? It just turns on, with the previously selected program lit up, please help!

Cheers

Hi, its a 1606W I believe, the WM25.3.

I’ve been reading a service manual, and trying to get it to run a test programme but it won’t let me. Is this usual?

Thanks
