So please.. I’m actually quite MacGyver but this washer is a bottom of the food chain model. Help me!? I’m begging! Where do I go from here knowing physically I’m not strong enough to lift the dryer and dismantle this whole deal and give it a hard core scrubbing.

Perhaps there is a drain filter Electrolux does not want us to know about?

What about this slime sludge.. will it ever go away with like 20 clean machine cycles?

I Need to wash clothes but I don’t want to forever have to take sheets and towels to the laundromat cuz washer can’t handle any type of lint hair fur.

Currently the stupid thing LEAVES MORE ON MY CLOTHES THEN THEY WENT IN WITH. that’s just not ok. And not how washing machines are supposed to work. Especially washers that are used by ONE PERSON that does not use a lot of laundry in two years.

I’m disgusted, frustrated and at a loss…

}{eather

Btw.. i found ifixit during a moment situational blindness. Probably about 18 months ago. An amazing human basically solved what to me at the moment was catastrophic due to anxiety I didn’t realize what I’d done. I still remember that night and feeling like he was an actual Angel here on earth or had some magic appliance super powers. Crazy anxiety.. but still super thankful and grateful. Current proble,pm has been researched so many times and escalated over probably 9-12 months. Thanks for reading my ramblings., have a great day. :)

Washing machine timer problem half automatic It's not working properly.

The timer on my semi-automatic washing machine isn't working correctly. It's not completing the full 15-minute cycle.

AEG washer/dryer Kombi, 7000 DualSense, model L7WEG841R. Bought new in mid 2021.

Washes fine but drying cycle gives up a few minutes after starting - as soon as the sound of air blowing begins, the time countdown skips down to 10 minutes, and it wraps up the cycle. I think no heat has reached the clothes. No error codes at any point.

Detail of an example problematic drying cycle, set for 1:06 hr drying time:

• Counting down from 1:06 to 0:56, does stuff more like a slow spin in the washing cycle.
• At 0:56 starts blowing air like the dryer usually does.
• The Problem: 30 secs later timer skips down to 0:11.
• Continues blowing while counting down. Reaches 0. Beeps a few times. Stays locked almost 10 mins with occasional small drum movements, then unlocks. Didn't feel like any heat had reached in.

I was able to get the machine to tell me an error code by holding down two of the control buttons. E73. whitegoods indicates that's about the NTC sensor:

• Fault in NTC sensor on drying duct (voltage out of range = short-circuit, open circuit)
• Drying NTC sensor (duct) faulty
• Wiring faulty

I think that's the "temperature probe" part 470 on the dryer parts diagram.

Not an answer, just a placeholder for the image of a controller part

This weekend I noticed same thing, not draining well and OE error. So took apart the back and cleaned out the white plastic bin, it was caked with lint and I could see why it had a hard time drying, there was very little room for water too get through and carry out the lint.

So I put everything back and installed the new drain pump. I put on wash/dry cycle and after an hour I didn’t notice leaking so I left. My wife put on another cycle while I was gone and said it started leaking out the bottom. I open bottom and see pool of water on the bottom but nothing up high is wet, I don’t know know where the leak came from.

I opened drain and some water came out and a plastic dental floss pik. That was what probably hit the pump originally and screwed it up, but what do you suppose the leak is from now? I want to screw off and screw back on the pump, it might not have a tight seal, but it didn’t leak the first hour I was watching it, could it be the pump?

I don’t want to take it all apart again considering nothing on top is wet, around the door isn’t wet, the drain rubber hosing isn’t wet etc. the only thing I can think of is the drain pump not being sealed properly.

Thoughts?

So I took the bottom panel off and saw the leak coming from the pump. Took off the pump and moved it one screw hole clockwise and put it the three screws that way, it was so hard one screw was really buried but now it’s not leaking seems to be working fine. So many videos say you don’t have to tighten screw that much and they don’t really tell you what screw holes to use, only one video did some guy on FB props to that guy.

Translation:

Why does my washing machine keep water in it?
