I have a indesit washer dryer. I pulled out a wire bra but it still makes a clucking noise when spinning near end off spinning

Thank you so very much! A bra wire had been stuck in the drum. I removed the heating element on a Miele and after much sweat, some tears and your inspiration I am pleased to tell: the machine is in full swing again! Could not have done it without you!

Thank you so much for this video. Im a 52 year old woman and I have just saved myself about £450 by watching this video. Couldnt get the filter out, so took out the pump to find 5 nails 2 coins 2 bits of fabric plus all sorts of bits of plastic, gunk and the rest all clocking up the pump. All reinstated and now back working as normal. Thank you very much indeed, great video, simple and brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant instructions. Was really apprehensive about attempting this having no experience in washing machine DIY. Have CDA integrated machine so wasn't sure if heating element in front or back. So tried front first, taking everything off, only to discover it was at the back. So pulled machine out, back off and hey presto there it was. 20 mins later, all removed and machine back in position. Many thanks for 5 star tutoring, saved me ££££'s in callout charge.

@gavinoddy742 4 жыл бұрын

Great video. I can add one additional tip: if you remove one of the drum paddles (there are videos on how to do this) you will find that you can feed the fibre optic camera (also called an endoscope) through the mounting slots for the paddle, or you can shine a torch through one slot whilst looking directly, or with a mirror, through other slots, or even through the perforations in the drum, as you rotate the drum. Using this technique I found a key I was looking for, stuck in the entrance to the sump pipe, and I was then able to grab it with a pair of forceps and manoeuvre it out through one of the slots. This method has the advantage that you don't have to remove anything other than a drum paddle, most of which come off very easily when you know how, and if it doesn't work you still have all the techniques shown in this excellent video at your disposal.

Very, helpful indeed. Saved me so much time as I was able to do the entire job on our Bosch Maxx 7 from the front. If I hadn't watched this first, I would have unnecessarily taken out the dryer that is on top, disconnected all the plumbing, taken the back off and then discovered my mistake!

Very extensive yet useful information compared to other videos. You're also making it much easier to understand the disassembling, where to start and which steps are essential an must not be skipped if you're disassembling your machine anyway. It's nice to have this knowledge on hand now, not only to save money on repairs by a technician but also to make your machine last longer yourself. My washing machine hasn't been draining properly even though I checked the filter in the front and drained it manually through the small tube. Hopefully these instructions might resolve the issue, perhaps I'm able to retrieve some lost socks as well. Thanks in advance! I'm pretty sure this will do the trick for me as I'm going through the positive feedback in the comments🙂

Very good video. My machine is the Bosch Maxx Comfort WFR 2840. It has a panel on the bottom so it is difficult to access from the bottom. I've removed a wire that was jamming the pump filter. Than I've try to check if there was not any other in the drum checking through the heater door. Unfortunately wile I was trying to taking the wires out I have pulled out the NTC probe. Can I put it again and expect that the large rubber gasket do his job or should I put something in it in order to avoid any leakage?

Hi there! I replaced one of these elements and I didn't see any bracket inside the tub that is supposed to hold the front of the element in place, it was very very hard to remove the old element. Is it possible I broke the bracket removing the old element? But I shaked the machined and I Cant hear a broken bracket or anything rattling around inside. Now I realised the bracket clips onto the element before you put the element in. So I am going to now buy the bracket separate. So my question is, is it just a matter of removing heating element and clipping the holding bracket on to the element and sliding it back in place? Does the bracket just slide into a slot inside the drum to hold everything in place? Thanks so much!
