Re: Samsung RS21DL
Anyone got any thoughts? Getting over a hernia op and could do without defrosting and certainly without spending money I might avoid. Need to get it sorted once and for all.
Cheers,
Gerry
Re: Baumatic BTWM6 won’t spin, Err 08
KERRCHING!!! Back of the Net!!! Gerrinthere!!!
After a check of the connections courtesy of my electrician son (great fun making a spark get his hands dirty, even more so on a weekend!!!) we turned to the brushes, and after use of a hammer in deference to good old Dad (whose first tool out of the box was always a hammer “if it don’t work tap it with a hammer. If it does hit it with the hammer anyway”) and the showering of carbon from the motor then Hey Presto movement. Cleaned up the brushes a touch more elegantly, and all is good with the machine!
So, keeping with the teachings of my parents, I must follow Mum’s insistence that I offer my humble thanks for your help.
Cheers, K. Thanks again.
(Where did I leave that detergent…… )
Re: Baumatic BTWM6 won’t spin, Err 08
Appreciated! I may take a Sharpie out and write that on the inside of the space where the machine lives!
Thanks again. Watch this space, and wish me luck!

I may print this and stick it to the inside of the door for the benefit of my sons! They don’t seem to believe me when I tell them they need to clean the filter properly every time the machine is used. Maybe they’ll believe you.
[If so, can you also have a word with them about drying the shower-room floor after them so I don’t bash my head on the radiator again? Well, here’s hoping.]
Thanks for your reply.

Re: Hoover HPM 130 drum won’t turn
I’m in work at the moment, and about to try and sort out the brushes, but I don’t have the serial number with me. Will this stop me from getting the right parts?
Thanks,
Gerry
Re: Hoover HPM 130 – wont spin/pump properly
Oh! Hang out the bunting and fetch me my slippers!
😀
My son is away to Spain on Saturday and she-who-must-be-obeyed-and-never-questioned can sit easy in the knowledge that, whatever else he may get up to whilst out there with his friend’s family, he do so with clean clothing!
Thanks a million everyone for simply being about to focus my thoughts and point me in what ended up as the right direction! Have to make sure I recommend this site to friends. My daughter has an Indesit machine that she insists on rinsing with hot water, but as I don’t know whether that is right or not I’ll check the facts first before asking about that one.
Keep up the brilliant work everyone!
Cheers,

Re: Hoover HPM 130 – wont spin/pump properly
No UKW engineers listed in Service@, so took the pump right out and went to a local shop with it. Bit of lesson in the process: in the bright light of day whilst sat at the traffic lights (it was extremely bright at that time this morning, honestly) you could see a discoloration in the casing of the pump, and on inspection some of the darker casing seems to have melted slightly too. The engineer at the shop said there was a shut-off in the pump that would account for the pump stopping mid-cycle if it overheated like this, so I’ve got a new one and it’s in a test cycle as we speak. I’ll keep you posted (after I’ve hidden the embarrassment of not spotting that previously and saving myself a couple of days of repeat questions from the good lady and a mountain of washing that has somehow become my fault/responsibility!).
Cheers,
Gerry.
Re: Hoover HPM 130 – wont spin/pump properly
Hi Bryan,
Well it spins while the drum picks up speed, runs for a short while longer, then simply stops. The drum runs on, and depending on whats in the drum (if there was wet washing in it, or if I’d run an ’empty-machine’ wash just to send water through it) it would carry regardless of the pump – if there was wet washing the water would spin and the water would be detected and the machine would stop spinning, if it was without washing it would drain so far and then stop.
I’m no expert, but neither am I a complete fool, so the fact that it pumps for a short while is confusing me no-end.
Cheers,
Gerry
Re: Hoover HPM 130 – wont spin/pump properly
😉
Cheers Bryan,
Yes, that’s right, it goes then stops, but there is a noise as it works. I’ll have ity off and a closer look, but there doesn’t seem to be anything stuck in it, and I can spin it with my fingers poked through too – power off of course!
Thanks,
Gerry
Re: Hoover HPM 130 – wont spin/pump properly
Cheers Bryan,
Last one before I’m off to buy a pump! Any ideas why the pump should work OK to begin with at each stage in the cycle but then appear to stop in mid-stream? Assuming it’s the pump but worried I’ll get a new one and still be no better off – but that’s likely to be the pessimist in me showing through. 😕
Thanks all.
Gerry
Re: Hoover HPM 130 – wont spin/pump properly
Thanks Bryan. That had me scrambling underneath again! Hadn’t considered a 2nd pump! The filter is connected to the the pump at the front that is connected to the outlet pipe, so I presume there is just one.
Cheers,
Gerry
PS, that ‘power off’ advice can’t ever be overstated. The taste of my dental fillings is one I do not want to have to repeat!
Re: Hoover HPM 130 – wont spin/pump properly
Cheers Simon. Sorry if this sounds like I’m doubting (which from my position I am not capable of!), but with a missus in my ear and bags of school clothes off down to my daughters as a stop-gap measure, you’ll understand that I’d like to tick all other boxes too. I remember when we got the machine it had warnings on every page and every sheet saying not to turn the programme selector without turning the power off as it would blow the circuits, which I religiously follow and seem to have persuaded my wife of too, but 16 and 18 year old sons rushing to go to their football or the gym aren’t quite so obedient. Is this a concern, or am I looking at it too deeply?
Cheers,
Gerry.
