Re: Hotpoint WF 860 leak

The wasing machine (Hotpoint WF 860 1600 spin) started peeing out water last night and on removing the small cover at the bottom rear of the mackine I notice the heating element was loose in fact it was out completely 😥
I’ve tried as I might to get the flamin thing back in but it won’t go, even put a little washin up liquid on the rubber seal but no it’s not playin the game.
Attached to the elememt is a little flat plate that rattles around I take it that shoud be attached to something inside the drum.
One of the 3 blue deflactor fins inside the washer had become detached too, a couple of the plastic holding clips have snapped so sometimes it comes off during washing, so I presume that, that is whats caused this problem to start with 😳
Are these fins availabe and if so how much, but more to the point do I need a new element or is it the way I’m tryin to get the damn thing back in ?
Thanks Quinny
