Hi everyone, I have a F&P single dishwasher draw. It is not pumping water out. I have taken the filter out and pulled the impeller out of the bottom and no blockage that I can see. When I try to force water down the end of the drain pipe there is total resistance. Is this resistance a blockage...

TBH I don't like cold water washing. My F&P TL fills a little with warm or hot water and then cascades the concentrated hot/warm sudsy water over the load with the tub slowly rotating for about 5 minutes. It then fills up with cold to agitate. Always get great results. In Japan they seem to...

We have a single F&P dishdrawer that was in our house when we moved in 3 years ago. It is probably getting on for 10 years old. I love it. this week it was not pumping out. It was so easy to fix. one unit in the middle of the tub that drives the spray arm and also the pump out impeller. So easy...

Yes, it was me who posted the disaster of shattering my brand new LG washing machine glass door and tried to use orange duct tape to cover remnants but all is well that ends well. I think it looks really good with the white trim.

Shattered glass I tried to remove the dark glass from my new LG washer and it did shatter in to thousands of bits. Was a bit of a disaster but then once all the shattered glass had gone I was left with a ring of dark glass stuck to the door and it looked horrible. I covered it with a plastic...

Hi Egress thank you for your advice all those months ago. I wish I had of followed it but better late than never. It was such an easy fix and cheap as well. I still have a new motor coming at some point under the 10 year warranty. I should probably let LG I have fixed the problem.

Thanks John, I am really surprised the appliance repair guy didn’t know the fix was as simple as replacing the Hall sensor. I was very unimpressed with the service they provided.

Finally got the LF FL washer fixed - Hi everyone, My 7 year old LG FL washer broke down beginning of March and needed a new motor. I had to get the appliance repair guy to confirm the motor was bad. That cost $150au. Trying to get LG to honor their 10 year motor warranty has been a complete...

Thanks guys for all your replies. I had totally forgotten about the 10 year warranty on the motor (thanks henen4). Had technician over yesterday and he confirmed what I knew the motor was bad and needs to be replaced. $150au for him to tell me that. Now need to wait for the new motor free of...

Hi Guys, I have an LG front load washer (WD14071sd6) about 8 years old now but was running perfectly. I had not used the machine for 6 months (I treated my self to a new LG). I used it yesterday and when drum rotates makes a weird growling noise, I then get an LE error message which means motor...

I took delivery of my brand new LG ThinQ 12kg washer yesterday. Sometimes it is a curse being fascinated by washing machines. The door has a deep smoked outer cover which makes it near impossible to see inside. With my old LG it had the same but was easily removed with a knife and popping it out...

Thanks Gizmo for your reply, I will check out the pump and if is bad will take you up on your offer. Cheers Simon

Hello, my Bosch series 8 dishwasher has been fabulous up until today. Turns itself off about 5 seconds after starting a cycle. No error messages just shuts down. Any ideas or suggestions would be very welcome. Only around 5 years old. Was looking on line and new Bosch D/W around $2000 au. Simon

I am curious, done some Googling but can’t find out what the spot scrubber knob does. Is it only for use with the mini basket? Is it like an extra heavy duty cycle?

Thanks Mike, great video. Really enjoyed watching it. cheers simon

So to add my penny worth, I love top load washers but when it comes to wash performance and economy front load washers win without a doubt in my mind. Now we live in rural Australia and have to rely on tank rainwater, I cannot bring myself to use any of my top loaders as they use so much...

Here is an old video of the old Zanussi IZ1600 and other washers/ driers in my laundry

My favourite part of the cycle on my Zanussi IZ1600 was the rinse on the cotton cycle. It would break in to a mini spin full of water and the recirculating pump spraying water over the spinning load. I think they called it Total exchange rinsing, or something like that. It was very impressive...

Hi Mike, yes that is the one. Fantastic machine for its time. However, I was always jealous of people who had automatics. They were so cool but as you say had really slow spinspeed. I always used to buy Bold Automatic detergent even though we had a TT. I loved the smell if it. The Service top...

Thanks Mike, a great trip down memory lane for me. 1970s UK was dominated by TT, front load automatics were slowly gaining popularity. My Mum had the Hoovermatic de lux washdog which had the fill hose going in thru the back next to the rubber drain hose. It had the white water spout mounted in...
