Re: Should I change these motor brushes (picture attached)
Thanks Steve, Considering the machine has been used nearly everyday for the last 3 years the brushes have held up well if only at 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} worn. I will be replacing the new machines brushes with genuine Bosch ones when it comes to them needing to be changed.
One thing I like about this machine and the new one I have got one is that the drum splits so if feeling up to the challenge then the drum bearings can be changed compared to a lot of the new machines that have sealed drums.
I bet non genuine brushes wouldn’t last as long as what these have though, Thanks again.
Re: How do you remove the top of a Hotpoint tcm570p dryer
Worked a treat – Dryer element & thermostats replaced and like new.
That lid was tough though – It needed a good few knocks at the front for it to slide back. Thanks for the help, Much appreciated.

Thanks for the replies guys – going to tackle it now – Thanks for the help will post back in a bit. 🙂
Re: Hotpoint Cooker grill not working but top oven is…
Just tested the grill switch and it is faulty when you turn the knob to full power for the grill but yet on half power the multimeter readings are as they should be, its like the switch is on half power all the time.
So looks like a new regulator switch is to be needed- Thanks again.
Re: Hotpoint Cooker grill not working but top oven is…
Thanks Steve, least its not the element so this is looking like a switch fault then, I will test it with the multimeter tomorrow.
Thanks again for the help
Re: Can anyone tell me if this drum is sealed
In the end we upgraded to a Bosch again model WAE244S0 and this is a 7kg drum which splits so bearings can be changed if and when they go. It gets delivered tomorrow.
It took a bit of re-search but got there in the end.
Re: CANDY GRAND OVERFLOWING FROM SOAP DISPENSER
I had this happen on a servis machine we once had and it was powder that was blocked in the hose going from the tray and into the drum tub.
I had to take the lid off and take the pipe off and blast it out and all was fine again.

I did a set on a 28 year old 9500 series a few weeks back. 8)That is good going – Most of the machines these days wont even make 8 years let alone 28.
Again I wish manufacturers would ditch these silly sealed drums/tubs it does not make sense and I cant think what the advantages are to a manufacturer other than when bearings fail you are more than likely to replace the machine and often the case with a different brand. Its a sad state of affairs 😥

Personally i like LG don’t work on an awful lot of them and those i do work on are either small faults the bearings have gone which are replacable or the pcbs gone which is a bit of a headache as they can be quite expensive but imo. Good machines. HTH DJ
I know what you mean about Whirlpool spares they seem to be expensive when I was looking in comet at the LG we are thinking about they sold 3 whirlpool machines mainly because they have been knocked down to £267 for a 9kg tub but seems false economy if ever it fails you are more than likely to just bin it.
Never really thought Bosch would use a sealed drum and don’t know why manufacturers think they are a good idea.
Re: Can anyone tell me if this drum is sealed
are LG a decent washing machine or should we be looking at something else, We have a bosch but it has the sealed drum and it is very noisy on spin and is putting oily marks on clothes and it is only less than 3 years old.
All we want is something that can be serviced rather than just throw it away, we was going to by whirlpool but this was only because of a good deal on price, as further up on this thread you can see why we did not bother as if the bearings failed it would need a whole new drum at a cost of over £800 which does not make sense when its only £267 to buy new.
It certainly opens your eyes in regards to choosing the “right” appliance.

10 years, on a £300 to £350 machine, where did you hear that?We were in comet and it has a sticker saying 10 years – Just want something that’s at least half serviceable when something goes wrong.
Whats the general feel with you guys on LG washing machines (are they better than hotpoint/hoover etc.
Just want to get this one right and more importantly avoid these stupid sealed drums.
Re: Can anyone tell me if this drum is sealed
What about the LG F1256QD 1200rpm 7kg Direct Drive Washing Machine I have heard these are guarantee`d for 10 years but can bearings be changed on these direct drive drums.
Re: Can anyone tell me if this drum is sealed
Wow that is expensive – think I will be leaving it now lol
Re: Reliability Advice Hotpoint Ultima WMD940 are they ok
kwatt wrote:Why buy another Bosch though?
K.
I think its because I was looking at a hotpoint and you good guys advised that they are not as good as they once were.
I think its because Bosch are known for their reliability – These sealed drums should be banned.
Do Miele use sealed drums? would be nice to get something teats easily serviced/repaired if something goes wrong rather than the attitude of when it breaks just throw it away.
Re: Reliability Advice Hotpoint Ultima WMD940 are they ok
If I replaced this with Bosch model WFO2467GB would this have the drum that can be separated.
I only worried as the last 2 machines have only lasted 4 years when the bearings gave out and had to bin the machine because of the dreaded sealed drum.
Thats why I went with our current Bosch (WAA24169GB) as i thought these were more serviceable.
