Re: LG F1222TD has started vibrating wildly
I have ordered the parts and will have a go next week. Will report back in this thread. Thanks for your help.
Re: LG F1222TD has started vibrating wildly
Thanks 1totalshambles. Will do all investigation from the back – and hope I don’t need to remove the front! I have managed to download a service guide which proports to cover this model (calls itself Model F1***ND(1~9)) and it lists the damper change under removing the rear cover. See below (if I have done this right).
Do you recognise the diagrams? Have I got the right guide? and is there hope for a rear access only needed?

You’re an absolute star! Obviously when the clock was reset it must have been knocked into Auto!! Problem solved – thanks so much.

Spoke too soon!
Put it all back after changing the drain pump – and its still not emptying!
Before changing the pump I had checked all of the basics:- filter, kink in pipe etc. and hence concluded it must be the pump – but it obviously is not. Any ideas where to next?

Sorted! The replacement pump came assembled with the inlet/outlet chambers. Didn’t realise that I could seperate and swap just the pump onto the existing chambers – no connections to worry about.
Job’s a good’n. Thanks again.
Re: Siemens SF64M330GB/15 integrated slimline dishwasher
Making progress. Door off, panel off, can access the pump BUT it is not firmly located anywhere. The outlet is at the back – does it just need brute force, or is ther a technique for freeing the hose? The inlet is a rubber connection , which if I got off I wouldn’t know how to reconnect – since it is largely inside of a plastic shroud (maybe it pulls out then pushes back in again?). The pump itself just floats between these two connections.
Please give me little guidance here.
Finally, should I get that far, what is required to ensure good seeling of the new connections?
Thanks again,

Penguin45 – thanks for quick reply, but please help me to understand better.
Are you saying that this can be done with the machine in situ? And are the instructions:
1. to remove the plug (obvious)
2. remove just the kitchen front on the door, or the complete door (how?)
3. lower cover panel (I can see a metal cover panel with a cable loom clipped on its inside – is this it? or are you refering to the white plastic base, in which case how?)Thanks in anticipation for this clarification

Jim,
I think I have pm’ed you – however the message is sitting in my outbax not my sentbox. Is this correct?

Jim,
Nearly 24 hours and no response from the two companies I clicked through to. However, I have spoken to a local engineer. His advice was that Hoover drums are very difficult to get out and hence a repair would be uneconomic. However, he did say that the drum is very tough and we should tolerate the noise and just run it – the most likely outcome being that the wire would further break-up and end up in the sump. This seams good advice since the worse case is that it damages the machine – but we would be writing it off anyway if the repair was uneconomic.
What are your thoughts on this?
Paul.

Thanks Jim,
I’ll get the yellow pages out tomorrow. Hopefully I will get an honest local guy – the last thing I want is a large bill and no solution.
Your help has been invaluable, thank you very much.

Well . . . the offending piece is clearly well and truly trapped somewhere.
The sounds echo in the hollow drum, but I have a sneaky feeling that it is trapped BEHIND the drum rather than around the drum.
Are we now getting into the realms of the very difficult? What is involved in stripping the drum? Presumably I will need to get the inner drum out of the outer drum to do this now?
The machine is not that old (couple of years at most) and performs very well. If fixable I would rather that than replace it – but big repair bills and cheap replacement products affect the decision.

Brute force wins the day! (I pity you guys who have to work on these things all day)
Alas cannot see the offending wire – however good access provided, so I will see if any rotation of the drum can move the offening piece close to the opening.

Re: My Hoover Optima has eaten my wife’s bra!!
That’s fantastic – now I understand!
Flanges all free at the front – definite movement when I waggle the heater, I guess it is just very swollen on the inside. Back to do a bit of screwdriver prodding – I guess I aught to be able to get it right the way though, thereby breaking the internal/edge seal. Then I guess its just brute force!
Will let you know

Re: My Hoover Optima has eaten my wife’s bra!!
Nomadpaul, thanks for joining in
I feel a bit thick here. I can only see a black seal at the front of the aperture. This overalps the aperture. I have managed to lift the seal along the bottom edge – but the top edge is too recessed for me to get anything in. When you say that the seal gets compressed what does that mean? Does the seal fit both inside and ouside the aperture making it impossible to pass a tool through the bottom edge to lift the top edge or what? I am failing to understand how this compression seal works. Surely when you compress rubber it expands outwards from the presure but the outside edges (that I can see) are clear of the aperture – all being on the outside.
Lots of head scratching here . . .
