On the older machines One had to disconnect the temperature sensor from the pcb before programming mode could be entered

The start of each cycle is fascinating Is the spinning sensing the size of the load? Does the resistance to acceleration measure the load size? Will there be a load sensor on future top models? As inaccurate as it is, I do like having it. Hopefully the top models will continue to have a...

Try cleaning the diverter while its still installed This can be done while still in the machine. Clean the brass finger things and the upper part they touch. Also do not drop the long thin springs down into the machine...

The WMV960/963 had brushless drain and recirculation pumps and then the WWV980 went back to the regular type according to the online parts listing. The WMV pumps also appeared to have an inverter board behind the pumps. Cost cutting/supply issue or complexity management?

Part number 20 is where the springs attach to the outer drum at the rear and that looks like it always does on the stainless steel tub. I don't see hoses from the water distributor to the rubber ring/gasket. Perhaps no more water on the glass? I don't see a steam generator (Perhaps on a...

is it like Door open and turned off: 1) Hold down OK 2) Press the power button 5x and hold it down on the 5th? (all while holding down OK) Service mode is the same but 3x and not 5x

Looks like too much airflow Almost needs a thick black foam filter to slow down the flow like on other brands of heatpump dryer. I hope you get a fix soon. Richard

Hi Rod Does it trip when the soap dispenser opens? I had a machine that had a leak. When the flap opened BANG. Off I wish I had seen this before I removed the steam boiler for my rotary iron. It used to trip the fuse when the steam option was on.

Am I dreaming about an annoying fan type noise Like here: and

Here is the FB group I joined https://www.facebook.com/share/g/NJRx2pMru4r4HfGD/ I also found this video where the reporter seems to self-demo the new vacuum cleaner. Help yourself at IFA?

The dryer @brisnat81 Hi Nathan, I have seen another video and the ribs don't seem to have the metal parts used to sense wetness. Perhaps the annoying tick is gone. Perhaps its done along the front edge of the drum? I saw a video on FB which showed the wash action of the washer. Like an LG...

One way to avoid floating clothes is to have a dry-wash but with a spray action. Looking forward to seeing it in action. The current delicates cycle has clothes floating. Hopefully they have the spinning sorted. I remember some initial users not being happy with the spin of the W1. Hope...

I am guessing that down inside two of the holes There would be screws?

By scrapped, I hope you stripped it down first I have a W5965 and it has 3 dampers. They are slightly better than what was on the W5873 that we had. The 5873 would shake and rattle on our wooden floors but the 5965 is much better. Looking at the online parts manual, they seem to have RD18FL...

Free play Some shocks have free play. Our FL washing machine has different shocks for wooden floors with free play and it makes a significant difference. We had a similar model without the free play part and those shocks led the machine to shake the house. Did the old shocks have a NM rating...
