Re: Electrolux Inspire Washing Machine
Solved! The wire pin pushes out towards the exposed end using a fine steel punch. Six year old granson’s sharp eyes could see the punch hole!!
Re: Electrolux Inspire Washing Machine
Hi Martin,
I agree:it is a slide off latch fit but there is a powerful wire clip holding in position. It is this clip which poses the problem! Too strong to force off, there has to be a correct technique. Brute force will break the circuit board.

Update – This machine now completed upwards of 450 washes and the drum paddles remain rock solid!
Re: Electrolux Inspire Washing Machine
Thanks Martin, I already have the replacement valve as per your link but there is definitely a printed circuit board attahced to the origianl as per the photo attachment. Can’t see a relable way of removing it to reattach to the new valve. Any ideas?
Re: Hoover Optima drum paddles removal
Interesting scenario – tried accessing drum paddle lifter screw through sump hose aperture but found, even with a cranked screw driver, I could not get directly onto the screw to get purchase. However, in the dead centre of the aperture between the rods of the heater element, sat the inviting reverse end of the locating lug of the drum paddle. Using the ‘pilot’ hole already in the lug, I inserted a no.4 x 12mm stainless steel self tapping pan head screw which took a generous torque and held the lifter rock solid. The pan head seated neatly into the existing depression in the drum and I repeated the exercise on the remaining 2 lifters – before they developed the same fault. Job done for a few pence and a damn sight easier than splitting the drum. Time will tell if they hold; already feel stronger than the original fitting.
Thanks Martin for directing me towards the sump hose aperture which provided me with this alternative solution.
