if its stable try changing the reed but check wiring just in case ( has one eaten by mice a while ago)

Thanks Dave.

It’s stable not flashing.

I’ve got a new inlet valve coming tomorrow so I’ll try that first and if that doesn’t resovle it I’ll go ahead and change the reed switch.

YES!
That looks to be the problem. I took the tray out and it does seem that both inlets (there are two hoses running to the tray) are partly blocked and the offending side is the most blocked out of the two – quite a narrow opening left there in fact, so it looks quite likely this is the cause! I have unblocked it and the difference is quite noticable in diameter.

I need to finish drying out my kitchen and the machine before I try out the fix tomorrow, but I have high hopes now! fortunately I bought two hoses just in case, so I already have a spare that I can fit.

Thank you very much Martin for your kind help – I sincerely appreciate it! People like me rely on the kindness of strangers to get by, so please feel good about yourself!

Re: Cant pull the machine out – think rear foot stuck under

At the w/e I cut a piece of plyboard to fit under and set the washing machine on that. All was good.
Today, I got a chance to test if it worked or not, and it did – it is a lot easier to move out on the plyboard.
Unfortunately the reason why I had to take it out was that the new hose I fitted has burst! Water all over the place including the electrics, blowing the fuse.

Can anyone help me to figure out why this has happened? Sure, the hose could be faulty, but more likely there is too much pressure going to the hose for some reason. Could the inlet valve be faulty and cause this?

thanks

Re: LG F1403YD5 small leak, I think from a small hose?

So I ran the machine with the lid off and the bottom of the two hoses tied together in this photo was bulging badly when the water was pumped through it, causing it to leak where it is clipped to the inlet valve. Is it just the hose that is at fault or is there some other problem here?

Thanks

They didn’t stick it down, no. Same goes for much in my house unfortunately!

It has torn a bit and is a right mess where the feet would go so I’ve cut it off. Is there any reason why it can’t just sit on the concrete?

Re: Cant pull the machine out – think rear foot stuck under

thanks for the replies. I managed to get it out. I tried putting the mat under the front an that helped reduce the friction but it was still stuck. In the end, I got my wrecking bar from the garage and fed it over the top and hooked it onto the back lip – this allowed me to lift the rear end from the front and clear it over the bunched up lino.

Here is a photo of the offending lino:

It’s a new build, and when the kitchen was installed they obviously fitted the lino over the whole floor before fitting the kitchen and this meant that the lino wasn’t going to let go of the machine’s foot.

To avoid this problem in future, and make extraction easier, what should I do? Cut away the lino entirely? If I can do something now to make it easier later that would be well worth doing I’d think.

As well as making it more easy maintenance next time, I also have to fix the leak!
I’ve started a new post about that, if interested it is here:

Thanks for all your help.

LG F1403YD5 small leak, I think from a small hose?

I’ve got a small leak, enough to make the kitchen floor wet and need fixing.

Lid off, I see three, of what I guess are inlet valves, and from these valves, two run in parallel to the soap draw. One of these is a bit wet and at the valve end i can see it is not seated correctly, but a few mm away from the valve. Here is a photo:

I guess the clip is not strong enough or has worked lose, or the hose may have worn a bit?
Either way, I’m guessing a new hose and clips will fix the problem and only cost a few quid. Question is, which part is it and where can I get a new one ASAP?

thanks
