    I have a Maytag toploader washing machine,mdl#LAT9356AAE. On washing cycle, It won’t agitate. On delicate cycle,it does agitate. On the draining cycle,it won’t drain. While in the delicate cycle,it only drains some of the water, it stops draining and starts filling over the used water already in it. In order to drain all the water, have to repeat cycle a few times.

  2. Hi,

    Maytag top loaders are quite a specific machine. However I feel this could be 2 possible faults.
    1) Erratic Behaviour can often be put down to the circuit board
    2) The pressure system is faulty – causing the machine to think it’s full or empty.

    Being such a specialist machine I wouldn’t call a local engineer I would give Maytag direct a call.

    Hope that helps,
    WMM

    I have about a seven year old washing machine ( KENMORE ) HE2 front loading washing machine with a storage tub down below and a matching washer and dryer combo set that came with the house purchase and the huge rubber gasket that compresses against the front door has a hole in it so it subsequently leaks out of the bottom of the door at six o’clock through all cycles. How much and how hard is it for me to buy the part and self install the huge gasket and is there anything I should be cautious about ? It seems to me that it is pretty strong rubber so after even trial and error it might be able to be done adequately without any failure. Someone who knows please respond to this note of request – thanks so much.

    I have a 9 year old Kenmore front load washer, the drum is off balance. Can this be repaired or do I need to buy a new washing machine?

    Thank you.

  5. If I were in your position I would really consider buying a new machine.
    Have a read of our buying guide but as a rule of thumb… buy German.

    I have a 12 year old Whirlpool washer that is not filling up with water, it just starts agitating when it is set to fill with water, what could be the problem, and it is worth getting fixed?

    set my indesit IWDC6125 WASHER/DRYER FOR A WASH AND MACHINE STARTED VERY SHORTLY AND HEARD A LITTLE POP AND IT TRIPED THE ELECTRIC.TURN MACHINE BACK ON AGAIN DOES EXACTLY SAME THING.WORKS SHORTLY,POPS,AND TRIPS ELECTRIC.

  8. This is almost certainly a heating element in the machine and so worth repairing.

    Washer INDESIT WIXE127
    I have an Indesit wixe127 1200 6kg drum washer which is just over 2 years old we have noticed that the washes are taking longer than before and longer than the timer states before the wash starts, a 1 hour wash for instance took two hours! The clothes are clean and there seems to be no other side effects except the timer changing quite dramatically e.g. we set up the washer for a quick wash the timer said 1hr 15 minutes to complete and after a while my girlfriend checked how long was left the timer said 26 minutes and then after a few minutes we checked again and it said 58 minutes the whole wash took over two hours we have since timed a wash and again it took over two hours when originally it said 1hr 15 minutes to complete. We have cleaned out the filter and also checked for any blockages or build ups in the pipes. Do you have any ideas please?

    I have an 18 month old Indesit IWB5123 washing machine. It keeps filling then draining. I’ve checked the outlet hose, and all other obvious aspects, but still the same. Do you think it could be the pressure switch that could be the fault? Greatly appreciate all comments. Helen Murphy

    My fiance washed a bathroom rug by it’s self and now it makes a grinding noise and turns very slowly. it will still fill and drain ok. Is this something I can fix?

  18. perhaps some of the rug has got caught in between inner and outer drum. probably best an engineer looked at this one

    I have a 2 year old LG which is making an error alarm when it is set to wash or spin. The washer still works in good order in filling water and drain. Is it any electronic components should be change to overcome this problem..

  32. Liz says:

    i have a whirlpool front loader with fault code F13 coming up. I have turned machine off, attempting to reset, but now nothing shows up on the screen and all lights are off. i understand this is something to do with the dispenser, which has in the past been easily fixed with resetting. what could it be? and what is it likely to cost me to have it fixed?

    Hoover washing machine Optima model No. OPH614/2-80 only 16 months old – problem – I took out the filter for the first time as my wife thought it was emptying slower than usual but filter was clean but when a refitted tye filter it now leaks like a sieve. There is no blockage and the apart from a small film of sediment in places looks as new – could it be that the seals have hardened /

  38. RITA says:

    I have an indesit WIL103 cold fill machine. Fault code F08 keeps occuring, i,e the led light for the delay timer and the led light for the door lock keeps flashing. It will do its wash but then fails to rinse. I then have to disconnect the plug, reconnect it then manually turn it to the rinse. Sometimes the same led’s flash again during its rinse cycles other times it will complete its rinsing. Any ideas on whether I can purchase a partthat can be fitted by myself?
    Many Thanks

    Indesit wd12x have an integrated Indesit 12X uk washer-dryer. Been working great never had any problems till today when it was finishing the wash cycle in the final fast spin and we heard a loud bang and a then grinding/grating noise. Luckily as it was in final spin could just turn off then open it and take out the washing. Had a quick look and set it empty just to spin cycle, started up ok at slow spin speed/low gear then would just trip and would not accelerate and the dial would start turning . Any ideas? red light flashes 3 times

    Hi there. I bought a Whirlpool front load wash machine about 2 months ago, model WFW72HEDWo. I loaded some clothes and it gave me an “Lc” code, which does not show in the troubleshooting manual. Now the detergent is leaking on my floor from the drum. Do you know what this is?
