My Washer Dryer, before the dents

Suds this is a small light coloured load with 2 Ariel Non bio tablets

I presume this is from a European machine? If you could tell us, which European machine it is from, then maybe some of us Euro based guys could point you in the right direction!

Well, I'm on the final rinse of an Easy-cares 40c cycle, and I can confirm that the rinsing is rather poor. The machine ramps up to speed, and shuts off the pump just after peaking at the allotted speed. Even the rinsing on the quick intensive cycle is a bit better I think! Have you tried...

It's been a while since I've used the machine properly, just popping the occasional load on for her etc. She sticks with cottons, or the quick intensive cycles generally. Next time I'm down, i'll put a load on easy cares and see how it performs. (amazing what you can forget in only two...

My mum has the same machine... My mum has the exact same model and hers is usually very quiet, but during the spin cycle can make a lot of rattling noise. They certainly don't build them like they used to, although it doesn't detract from its brilliant performance! Included is a link to my...

If it's sticking on the heating part of the wash cycle, and continuing to heat constantly, then that would tell me that the thermostat isn't working as it should, the thermostat should detect that the water has heated to the right temperature e.g. 30c or 60c and then tell the timer dial to...

We appear to use very little. Two people, two bed new build house.. Electric fan oven, washer, dishwasher and condenser dryer.

I've got the slightly older 7kg 1400 Futura model, the WMFG741P. It too only does two rinses as standards on cottons, synthetics, fast wash etc. I thought I'd need to use extra rinse all of the time, yet I've found very little need for it. Our water is about medium on the hardness scale. Even a...

The higher spec models offered by Hotpoint now come with a 10 year parts warranty I believe. Other models are the standard 5 year parts only. As stated previously our machines have been stated to have been trouble free so far during ownership. Not neccesarily a statement of overall longevity...

That Hotpoint would be a very good choice. I have the previous model to this the WMFG741 and its never skipped a beat. It performs beautifully, never failed with any stain i've thrown at it and the 1400 spin out-performs my mothers 1400 AEG machine. It's now 15 months old and still performing...

I've had a similar problem in the past Turned out to be a blocked pressure chamber on my Hoover w/d years ago Engineer called round, changed brushes etc as he thought that was the cause. Tried it on a spin, still no joy. Just distributed, attempted to accelerate and would fail miserably.. He...
