The best part of the video for me was the Heater element. I am so glad that you did not ignore it Matt. Coz I always thought my Bosch Classixx 1200 express Washing Machine only uses cold water and those settings of 40, 60 and 90 are dummy! LOL!
Thanks,I've learnt loads through watching your vids,I had mine apart over Christmas,it went dead on me,no lights or anything,I got the pcb out and other one at the control panel I then squirted loads of contact cleaner over all the connections,put it back together again and hey-presto it lit up like new,if I hadn't of found these videos I would have scrapped it and gone and got another.so thanks very much indeed
Excellent, you really made this complicated machine look so simple, Thanks so much. Request you to make one with top load machine too if you haven't already and also let us know if there is any regular maintenance needs to be done to keep it running smooth. Thank you.
Hi, thanks for your comments about this video, we really appreciate it.

Hello, first thanks for a nice easy view about this machine. I bought a machine in Germany 220v / 50hz and I try to use it in Brazil 220v/ 60hz it just does not worked. Do you have any idea why? Thanks
WOW! that was easy. Thanks a lot for the video, I was exactly looking for it. One question, how the door interlock senses when to unlock itself? I mean how it understands that the job is done and it is unlocked?
Hi Gemini, most washing machines use a bi-metal to lock and unlock the door, it heats the metal to make contact and lock the door when the machine has finished and the power is turned off the metal cools releasing the door.
Thanks for the comments John. We produced this as a first attempt to help viewers understand their machines to identify what was going wrong.

Hi, nice info, i cud repair my washer, its wash cycle was not working, pressure chamber blocked. cleared the block by blowing air thru mouth. wow! washer is working fine....
I wanted to know whether or not clean water pours in the machine at the same time as the dirty water is being drained ay the time of draining and rinsing . Or do the valves remain closed?!
Hello. I have a problem with my slimline top loading washing machine. The hatch on the inner drum opened during washing, and the drum is now stuck in the tub. I tried to remove the side of the washing machine, but I can't figure out how to actually open the tub itself. Do you have any reccomendations on this? The machine in question is an ariston avtl 104. Will I need to take the entire tub out of the machine?

Hello Matt, i've got a problem with my Hotpoint Aquarius WMA50. I forgot to turn the water supply taps, turned the washer and then i heard a bang/burning smell from around the programme selector knob. When i got the PCB out, some of the circuit copper lines on the board were cut and exposed. I solder wired those broken lines but the machine will not light up, just the door lock works when i turn to power. What can i do to rectify that issue?? Thank you!
+Automobile CATS Yes this model is getting on a bit but most of the information is still applicable for most models (direct drive motors are just fitted to the drum directly). If you have a specific problem and you give us your model details we will try and help you sort it out. :-)
Hi, this will depend on what country you live in so we would suggest searching online for 'washing machine training'. In the mean time may we suggest you watch some of the diagnosis videos in the play lists on our You Tube home page: ruclips.net/channel/UCcbE1Y2n-oL4YGDJCcDDTag
Why is it I see in the UK washing machines have heating elements? The hoover was the first one I noticed this. Since we commonly have hot water heating in the USA it would seem to only be an added expense in utility consumption. Not a green idea at all.
DandyDon In Europe, they use tankless water heaters, and over there, the water heater wouldn't be able to supply enough hot water to the washer, or dishwasher, that they put heating elements in those appliances. Since Europe uses 1 phase 220 volt service, it doesn't cost them that much more to heat its own water. In North America, it would cost us more, as we use 1 phase 110 service, and that same appliance would need a 2 phase 220 volt service to operate it in the same way. For us, it would cost more. What few washers that have heating elements in them, only boost the temperature by up to 20 to 30°F for our models.

hello i have a question how do i fix the noise my washing machine makes when it washes clothes? (the noise kinda sounds like a soda can being crushed) some of my clothes has come out damaged with holes in i have checked for any trash or sharp things that could have been in there can you please help me
Hi Simon. depends on the machine. Older machines may have a Thermo mechanical thermostat that will 'turn off' when the drum water reaches around 90 degrees +- up to10% typically. A more modern machine will likely have a NTC sensor that can more closely monitor the temperature but again there may be tolerances that can effect this by a few degrees. Usually once the temperature is reached the heater will not come on again to 'maintain' the temperature and by the time the machine finishes the wash and discharges the water the temperature may have dropped significantly.
Sorry we do not understand your question. If you have a problem or for more information see our diagnosis videos: ruclips.net/video/QYPqpjLV7s4/видео.html
My samsung washing machine is not working... After switch on, the drum rotates 2 or 3 times and suddenly stops.. How can I fix it?... Hope you will help me...
Hi Asif, See our diagnosis video section and: How to diagnose washing machine control and program problems This is an unusual fault so check if it fills correctly and does it carry out a spin cycle?.
Engineers listen for this noise when testing as you can hear the 'kettle noise' long before you detect heat through the door. It is not likely to be a fault but only use a 90 Wash when you need to as you are causing unnecessary wear on clothes and machines. If you have been 'boiling washing to tackle smells in the laundry see another video: ruclips.net/video/ifWK9df1qgg/видео.html
Simon Adams - 90 degrees? Lol are you mad? 30 - 40 degrees will clean most clothing but 60 degrees is ideal for bed sheets and towels. This comment really made my laugh. Cycle set for 3 hours at 90 degrees....LOL X 100
If your machine does not spin the washing correctly it can be due to what you are washing. For more information see another video: ruclips.net/video/uKBy-9NEF5A/видео.html
Hi Simon. often Engineers find coins in the machine where they have been left in pockets and worked there way from the tub into the filter. These coins can do a lot of damage so you must check pockets to prevent this occurring. As far as making butter the drum movement may be suitable to churn butter but because of the construction it would be so difficult to clean thoroughly after use. If used repeatedly the 'old' butter from previous uses would soon go ranseed and spoil the fresh butter so making it unusable.
Many people have accidently left paper money in a pocket and found the notes undamaged after a wash. However in many countries 'Money laundering' is an offence (lol).

some of my clothes has come out damaged with holes in i have checked for any trash or sharp things that could have been in there
can you please help me
So what causes the drum to alternate directions?

Always wondered how my machine would heat at various temperatures whilst only using a cold water link. Now mind at ease lol. Thanks from me in 2024 😅⭐
It's 1am and my brain decided it needed answers not sleep.
Hi Bilal, sleep is more important at 1am.
How hot is the water if you put on 90 degrees?

Usually once the temperature is reached the heater will not come on again to 'maintain' the temperature and by the time the machine finishes the wash and discharges the water the temperature may have dropped significantly.
I understand well but in the application I find it very difficult what solution

Where's the transmission, clutch, and brake drum?
That's it Fred, the motor just mounts direct to the drum shaft hence DD (Direct drive). Less moving parts to go wrong. 😊

Can u find money in the machine and can you make butter i know it sounds stupid but can you?
Hi Simon. often Engineers find coins in the machine where they have been left in pockets and worked there way from the tub into the filter. These coins can do a lot of damage so you must check pockets to prevent this occurring.
As far as making butter the drum movement may be suitable to churn butter but because of the construction it would be so difficult to clean thoroughly after use.
If used repeatedly the 'old' butter from previous uses would soon go ranseed and spoil the fresh butter so making it unusable.
now, will you trow it away?

However in many countries 'Money laundering' is an offence (lol).
