Re: Whirlpool error code question ??
So it is likely to be the heater element thats gone then from that error code?
im not sure how to check the relay etc, but a mulitimeter can be used on the elementRe: creda w120vw

i believe the old bearings can be heated up a bit to ease them out, or is it cool them down? do i start from the back bearing first then the inside one ?
well its the first time ive attempted to change the bearings so fingers crossed 🙂
Re: How do you test if a pulley motor has gone??
actually the motor seems ok after having another listen/look. the bearings have definetly gone
is bearing replacement possible on this model of creda?

Basically soap scum and other detritus builds up in the sump hose on the lip that the ecoball seals against and holds it there causing a drain error. It is very common.
You might not see much it where you are Martin as I think the water is a bit harder there but we see it a lot and, I do mean a lot.
It is a combination of things really, overdosing, lack of maintenance wash and so on that cause it but the most common thing is concentrated liquid detergents in combination with low temperature washes all the time. It’s basically the same sort of scummy stuff that causes washing machines to go all smelly.
Cure is hotter washes more regularly, maintenance wash or regular use of Affresh to clean it out and prevent the gunge from forming.

what does an eco ball do in a machine?

thanks, will do. ive used the machine tonight and noticed the drum moving slightly from side to side when it does a slow spin before it gets up to the full spin speed, it that a sign the bearings are on their way out too ??

drum removal etc ?to change bearings I think it is at least a drum removal on most machines but possibly up to a complete stripdown depending on the model.
BUT have you considered a suspension problem or loose concrete block first if it is banging rather than rumbling?
Tim
Ive had the lid off any the concrete blocks seem ok. Is there a test you can do to see if the bearings are worn? Is it if there is movement between the inner metal drum and outer plastic drum where the water goes ?
Re: Whats a good second hand machine to go for ?
im more after a list of brands that are well made and dont use cheap bearings, i did some research on the hotpoints and believe they use cheaper/smaller bearings than in the past
