Maytag Washing Machine: The stator on washing machine motor 1/2hp has some uneven spacing

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 14:48:39 -0700

It's a new motor. I noticed the uneven spacing and the yellow mark while pulling motor out of the box. It has a T shape marking from the factory. Hopefully means: "Tested". Anyone knows what that means? Also some o the cardboard got stack on the lamination on one corner due to rough handling. I tried to brush if off buy it's stuck. I am guessing that's not a problem since there are stickers on the stator anyway... Thanks

Washing Machine: Washing machine halts after filling with water

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 04:33:29 -0700

My Indesit IWC71452 stops a couple of minutes into the cycle after filling with water. The start button's LED flashes orange and the machine beeps every four seconds or so. I have to reset the machine to escape this state. I can set the machine to a "spin and drain only" cycle and the drum does turn and the water drains OK.

I have checked the electrical resistance of the heating element and the thermister and they both seem show ohms within the expected range. The door lock sensor is working correctly. Unfortunately, this model has no digit display to show error codes. Is there anything else that could be causing this fault? Thanks in advance.

Bosch Washing Machine: Bosch F21 Code Still showing -Not brushes (new) or filter blockage

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:30:55 -0700

Hi I have a Bosch Avantixx 6 machine Code E-Nr WAE24366GB/34 FD 9206 601282.

The F 21 code came up, i replaced the brushes and cleaned the filter out and waste hose on U bend where there was some stuff but not loads, all clean now.

I reset the machine using 6 o clock (Spin) and then turning to 7 o clock. that all worked and cleared

It is still coming up with code and stops on a 30 degree wash at 1 hr 32. (on. 2.20 cycle)

I was hoping it was the brushes, can anyone advise what steps next ?

I tried on speed perfect wash. It is stopping at 31 mins and making a "clicking" noise. V many thanks in advance

Washing Machine: Why is my washing machine spewing plastic debris and grainy sludge?

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 07:26:58 -0700

My Euromaid EBFW900BK washing machine drum has been spinning with much resistance and is spewing grainy sludge all over the clothes. I pulled off the back and cleaned out the drain pipe and there’s heaps of bits of plastic all through it and heaps still in between the drum and it’s case which I can’t get out yet. Is it stuffed?

Washing Machine: Washing machine drum shudder

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 15:32:38 -0700

I have an issue with my Hoover H-Wash 500 washing machine. It is showing an E08 error, which indicates an issue with the drum/motor.

I replaced the motor with a new one, but the issue still remains. However, I have noticed that when it is unplugged from the motor connector/coupler (pictured), the motor arm spins smoothly. It's only when I plug in the connector that the motor arm shudders. It does this even without being connected to electricity.

Does this indicate an issue with the connector - or could it be something else?
