I have to agree with Aquacycle. Beko is the better option by far. If you get the indesit or candy your asking for problem after problem. The beko on the other hand is relatively well built especially for the price of them however in general separate washers and dryers are more reliable, if you...

Got to agree with Aquacycle. It is actually far better to get separate as they are more reliable machines but if you can only choose out of those 3 then it has to be the beko hands down in my opinion. Buy a candy or an indesit and you'll have problem after problem where as beko are actually...

What an excellent project! Can't wait to See how this pans out for you! Would love to restore another hotpoint 95 machine (one day when I have the space) Good luck! George

I use 40 and 60 ( mainly 60) Here in York the water is fairly hard so I tend to use a whole cup full of powder in most washes to prevent limescale build up - it works. George

I am boschlover1997 just so you guys know. Janak I have no idea you'll just have to watch and find out this was a very long time ago 😏

Hotpoint Hotpoint washers and dishwashers have been rubbish for a good 5/6 years now, however the dryers are still not too bad. This whirlpool takeover is such a shame though cause now there's nothing good left about them all as whirlpool really were equally as bad as indesit. Are indesit to...

Update... I unjammed the motor and now it works very well and very quiet... Not as big a job as I thought actually! ....well.... When I say very well, there's one more problem- it doesn't use as much water as it should. I have to manually top up the water cause the inlet valve shuts off far...

Hi everyone, Just bought a Bosch sgs3042gb/03 dishwasher (not a fire affected model) and it is absolutely immaculate. Was built around 2002ish, used by an old lady and replaced in 2004 when the new owners of the house put in an integrated one. Hardly any use- but 10 years of sitting doing...

Don't get me wrong the washing machines are horrendous but the dryers aren't too bad, they aren't anywhere near as good as white knights but they are just dryers at the end of the day and they knock the socks off of amica/Russell Hobbs dryers and beko dryers. Good budget machines. Since 2004 the...

Hotpoint vtd Nige Hotpoint vtd tumble dryers and Tvm dryers are actually pretty good machines for what they are worth. They only go seriously wrong when people overload them and don't clean the lint filter. They are also incredibly easy to maintain, I've refurbished hundreds and never spent...

Never ever use liquid ever All I can say is never put liquid in your machine. As an engineer I see this day in day out and it completely destroys machines and causes fungus to grow inside, this corroding away drum shafts and bearing seals, and also making the machine stink- especially if...

Hi guys I have an enquiry about bearings on wma washing machines. At work we have 5 or 6 wma based machines that currently need bearings. We simply do not like reusing 30mm tubs because these are the previous bearings that were prone for failing after not long at all. However, new wma back...

replies AEG03- Yes sometimes i notice bursts too, but i dont really have this problem with the silver one at all so im really worried that it might need repairing again soon. i have had it only a month though and i bought it from the place i work and i know it had a motor problem before, but...

Wma76 actually have brushless motors. I was shocked to make this discovery when repairing one at work the other day. Wma66 don't however! George

Hello, haven't posted in a while it's been ages! As some of you may know I now own two LG washing machines, great machines they are (wm16225 (silver) and wm16220 (white)). These machines are some of the most reliable machines I have ever worked on or used, however the drum size can be a bit...
