probably the heater but check these.... sounds like the heater if everything else is working. take the heater out and just check if its covered in limescale, if not check if its been hit by anything (i.e. a coin) and see if theres any bits chipped in it. If either of these are the case replace...

Low temperature washes are really bad and unhygienic- especially 30c. Also you should never use gel because it created a film of goo on the outer tub and poo particles from underwear and general bacteria stick to it. Everything but delicates are safe to be washed at 60c despite saying 40c. Modt...

looks great!!

Hotpoints were quite good up until certain WF's and then started declining in quality badly. So if you like hotpoint and want a faithful machine just get something WF or previous because they are reliable.

They have a design fault i believe. Alot of hotpoint machines have had this happen recently. Moral of the story, avoid hotpoint and indesit machines they are seriously unreliable.

I didnt take any pictures as my phone was acting up and as you can understand i was just very excited to get it back together! Basically, the spider has 4 arms,and the drum has a rim around the back, its quite a thick rim, and the spider hooks round the side of this and there is no screws...

mike i worked as an appliance engineer in a refurbishment warehouse, if you get an asko and look at how the spider is assembled then youd see that it i completely safe. its completely fine its completely different from any normal spider too.

hi richard, its nothing serious at all, its basically just where the spider connects, its a secure connection its just a tiny bit loose, its not coming off any time soon. Dont worry about it- after fixing mine it didnt take long for the noise to come back and its worse than yours is! it would...

HVL theres also a HVL241 which is the same as the 211 but 1400. Also the WF561 is pretty much the same but 1600 with a temp and spin dial. sorry for bringing this back up, george

Here is the machine finished and washing. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn5zsY9fdwE

Heres a pic all clean and finished. Removed the panel as wasnt my cup of tea. Washes and spins flawlessly, every programme except woool and handwash goes to 95c!!

I have taken the drum out and it seems where the spider grabs the wedge on the edge of the drum it has come loose, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make it grip properly again? Im not strong enough to do it with my adjustable grips:(

I arent too bothered about claiming money back because at the end of the day i did check it but didnt notice. Ive worked on alot of machines but never anything like asko, its a very interesting machine and it seems quite simple really i am nearly ready to get the drum out to have a look when i...

Hi no its definately the spider, the bearings are fine and so are the shock absorbers- it is movement between the drum and tub. I was shocked too and im guessing thats why theres no listing because its so rare. Ill take the drum apart and see for definite and i do know a welder so thank you for...

Hi, i bought it from ebay and did actually check the machine over before i took it away, silly me thought it was just the drum going back and forth a bit like zanussis do so it was my own error of judgement. Thanks i will ask them:) George

photos will be shared when i get round to uploading them

I purchased an asko washing machine w6461 with a blocked pump and paid on paypal stupidly as i never thought a machine with a stainless steel drum spider would have a problem with it! not alot of movement but theres a bit and it bangs when spinning, but i cant find a spider ANYWHERE. no spares...

doesnt sound too bad but check the filter at the bottom right to see if theres anything in it,

your best bet would be to try ebay or gumtree on the offchance someone is throwing one away. another idea would be to ask anyone you know with one to give it to you instead of throwing it out when it breaks- or enquiring about one you may see on the street. they are hard to come by now but if...

hello hairy man. basically hotpoint were taken over by indesit a few years back- and since then the machines have declined horribly in quality to the point they are probably the worst brand on the market taking everything into consideration. im assuming his machine is an aqualtis? aqualtis...
