I could not have done it without you. I found the element and got it out, then used washing up liquid and the hammer and screwdriver as you showed. It was almost like I had my old Dad telling me how to do it. I am very pleased with myself indeed and hope I can keep my old washing machine going for a bit longer.

thanks soooo much. After removing a screw from the reservoir i put the element back BUT the element kept making noise during the centrifuge part of the wash. THANKS to you i got it in the right position by moving it into that click part, i am so grateful for people like you who teach us. I did need to put my phone flashlight into the drum (where you put clothes in to wash) & through the holes shined light i could better see & click it in place ❤️🤗✌🏽🥳😁

Hello. My advice is to spray WD-40 agent onto that black rubber during moving out process. Usually it doesn't go out so easily and quickly like in this vlog/movie. In my case the sealing ( black rubber) jammed and stuck out only 2 - 3 mm outside its socket. After applying WD-40 and moving the heater forward and backward I was able to pull it out by hands without any tools. My washing machine is Hotpoint Aristo BWMD 742 . I hope it helps you a lot. Kind regards. P.S. Of course you can use any equivalent to WD-40 available in your country.

Make sure that the new one comes with a thermistor because sometimes, that fails, the heater is much more robust than you'd think.

Excellent presentation, very good pace.

We've tried this but unfortunately didnt get the element back in properly and the drum was catching is when we did a trial wash. We tried to drain the machine before opening the back but lots of water flooded into the base of the machine. Will it be safe to use once it has dried out? And roughly how long would this take, please? Thank you for this video - it has been very helpful!

Thanks for posting

Have to do the nut up quite tight to squeeze the gasket rubber to seal

If u can't get out the element, try oiling up the plastic where the seal sits then wear gloves and try to pull it one side then the other.

I could not get the heater out although I followed the instructions.I unscrewed the bolt almost to the end of the shaft. Then knocked the shaft to release the clamp, to release the heater. Used a flat blade screwdriver on the edges to ease out the heater but it got stuck for some reason. I used some washing liquid to make it easier but didn't work. It can be pushed in and it dangles but I can't get it out. Can you help please? Any advice?

So I’ve got the heating element out but now the bracket has dislodged it self inside? How do i put the bracket back in? Is it a take the whole thing apart job? Thanks

Thank you sir

Really good👍👍👍. Helped me a lot.

Thank you! ❤❤❤

Many thanks

Its a compression nut. Ya back it off then pop it with a flathead.

There is no need to take off the belt i've replaced a heater before and the belt wasn't in the way at all

will the element short out and blow the circuit breaker

My earth fixing has broken off the heating element,can I just connect it with the nut just above it?

Thanks but the heating element just would not come out... maybe they are designed like that to get people to buy a new machine everytime a part fails.

Mine would not come out

it's never that easy to come out Lol!

❤

הוא לא מראה שצריך לתת לחיצה על בורג בכדי לשחרר את הלחץ

What do you call the thing you used to undo the nut bolt please?

Tried...got stuck not coming out...now thinking buying a new one..

It’s not as easy as you are showing in this video.

عندي مشكل في اخراج سخان غسالة سامسنغ

my is stuck

what happened at 1:55 ?

למה מסתיר שאתה צריך ללחוץ על בורג בשביל שזה ישתחרר???!!!

After cut knuckles and much swearing, I couldn't remove the element, the plastic surround is now all bent up too! Might be time for a new washing machine!

I wish I'd known how difficult it was to get these elements out. After an hour on my back and much swearing and sore hands I have actually just given up. The thing will not come out :(
