Replace it

Inform the people who own the apartment about the machine and its fault. How old would this machine be?

crappy indesit

When i went to spain there was a 900rpm indesit washerdryer that wouldn't start so i rotated the drum by hand for the whole wash cycle!

[aquarius8000]

Impossible! how did you do that?not with the door open surely! did you do it by turning the spider?

timer/module

Have you tried emptying the filter? My Dad had one of these in a rented property for a while and if there was anything in the filter it wouldn't spin. Try cleaning it out and give it another try

Chris: I didn't put it on a cycle. I just unplugged it and put the clothes in the drum, filled it with hot water, put in detergent and sat there, rotating the drum and used a cup to remove mucky water and put more in for a rinse. I even span it but then I found that there was a spin dryer in the cupboard!

Luke: Thanks for the emails! Will tell us what the new machine is?

sure will i reckon it will only be a beko tho...and for those that dont know i loath beko...

 

[ariston4life]

its not the filter anyway its the timer is nackerd

 

[aquacycle]

and for those that dont know i loath beko...

Why? They're the best of the more budget machines IMO.

 

[aquacycle]

its not the filter anyway its the timer is nackerd

If the machine is distributing but not going into a full spin and then ending the cycle as normal, it could quite possibly be the filter. Zanussi's are a bugger for it. My Mums Bendix does this and, as already stated, my Dad's did. Just try draining the pump and washing the filter out and see if it works. You might be surprised.

 

[ariston4life]

i had a beko for 6 months and it broke 3 times...id rather have a haier than a beko....our old haier mschine lasted two years vs the beko... but tge timrr on it just keeps cycling yhrouhh yhe programs and its draining properly

 

[hotpointfan]

haier are ...
