Re: Leak in Manifold connection John Lewis JLDWW905

Well I am back ( eventually ). I have tried to remove the white plastic plinth along the front but I can’t see how to remove it ? There aren’t any obvious fixing points / clips to release it. So, how is it removed. please ?

Hi Ladom

Following your advice I have been able to undo the top of the pipe from inside the drum and the thread is cracked as you predicted.

I will order the part from your online shop but I need to be able to remove the entire pipe. I am having a problem removing the side panel to get access to the bottom of the pipe as there is a plate at the front bottom corner that I cant see how to separate from the panel? It doesn’t seem to be screwed to it.

Thanks Ladom and Electrofix. I’ll give it a try.

Thanks for the info. Looking at the photo of the pipe you have identified and the photo I have supplied it seems that where the leak is coming from is actually at the top of the pipe where it connects to the enclosed section as the attached video shows.

If that is the case, then isn’t it the connection that needs replacing, and not the pipe? But, that is what I can’t get at to see… How is the pipe connected to the enclosed section ?
