Afternoon chaps,
Anyone familiar with washing machines? We have a Hotpoint WF220. Select a (any) wash program, press start it starts the wash cycle but it carries on washing untill I manually stop it. The machine fill water into the drum and the drum spins at wash speed, but it carries on...
Hi all i'm a little stuck been asked by my folks to have a look at their washing machine as they all think if it has a plug on it i know the whole workings, design, and how to repair it. My problem is there seems to be a short on the motor when running i know its not the pump or element as have...
Anyone got any idea why [LG] washing machines with "Inverter technology" continually trip RCD's? LG insist that the fault is not theirs and that the machine I know of should be connected to a non-RCD supply to remedy the problem.
Given that most machines are in kitchens, ergo Special Locations...
Hi,
I have a socket behind a washing machine near the the open washing machine drain stand pipe. I am guessing that the pipe was blocked and the water overflowed and leaked onto the socket and blew the fuse.
The machine is new so I contacted the landlord who sent an electrician around, he...
Slightly out of range but I have had a problem with my washing machine and checked the brushes (which were fine) and think I put them back left right and right left; the motor was whining a lot on running and the brushes sparking a bit but the spin cycle seemed to calm it down!
I was wondering...
Surly this cant be right. under the sink where you connect the washing machine pipes to the hot and cold someone has fitted a socket box for the washing machine. its not even a waterproof unit, its a rented house and im a little bit concerned that if it leaks the misses might get a new hair do.
Hi guys.

Hi,
I have just had installed a new RCD consumer unit and the washing machine keeps tripping it, what should I do? the washing machine is only a few years old. Could it be an issue with the plug socket?
Also would installing a plug socket RCD as well stop it from tripping the main one or is...
Hi,
I changed a 20amp flex outlet plate, which fed a commercial washing machine, in a nusery, for a 1G SW socket with built in 30ma RCD protection, as none of the building/Installation had RCD proctection. The faulty commercial wash machine was being replaced with a domestic one with a 13a...

Hello all,
This is my first post on this forum.
I'm installing a new circuit in my bungalow to become approved (probably NIC). On one hand, I'd like to practise and prove all kinds of fancy things . . . on the other, I just need to do it cheaply.
I've plumbed my washing machine into my...

Hi.
I would like to know if I can connect socket to radial circuit to power diswasher and washing machine (double socket) with fused spur. I know that circuit should be fused 20A so if I use 13A fuse it will probably blow fuse if both working together, can 20A fused switch be used? (I don't...
Customer rang to say his washing machine trips the circuit in the middle of the cycle. He said, it ran for a while and stopped. Enquired on the phone and it looked like it only tripped the MCB and the RCD stayed on.
It's on a radial circuit with 16A MCB. Could someone shed some light on this...
During a PIR last week I found that the flat has its washing machine in an alcove/old airing cupboard with no door, in the bathroom. (I am going to try and include a diagram of the bathroom with this post).
It is currently supplied via a dedicated RCD protected /circuit and single socket...
An ex farm that i visited today would like to install a 3.6kw system feeding into a single phase which is currently supplying an outbuilding.
The remaining 2 phases supply the house,
Assuming that the DNO is happy with the imbalance, if we installed the system would the energy generated on this...
