What annoys me is the way successive politicians have messed up this once-great country of ours....VAT used to be 10 percent (was actually 8 percent for quite a while), never used to have airport departure tax, or tax on our fuel bills, or tax on insurance premiums...we used to have almost the lowest fuel prices in Europe, when I was a kid we didn't used to lock the family car when we went out and it was always still there when we came back with all our stuff still inside it.....

But that was centuries ago! ;)

Well..my day has just gone utterly to pot..was going to sort out the carpet then fit the new interior handles in the car.Now before all that i have to take the washing machine apart again to fix that as the drum has come loose and the handle on the door has snapped.Oh the ruddy joys.

Hopefully it will be an easy fix.The door i cant reglue as its been reglued that many times..i'll just use a knife to pop the catch inside the door.

On top of all this is the usual jobs to do on a sunday....hes at work so no help there.Gawd..just gets better :o :lol:

 

Anyway..even if he was at home he would leave it all to me..why????..because its my job to fix/repair/build anything that needs it in the house or car.ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.

 

Sometimes i wish i was a feminine girly who went to coffee mornings..had long fingernails..wore flowery dresses and..and.......nah.....gawd..i could never be that!.Just not me.Me in a dress.. :lol: Last time i wore a dress was about 5 years ago...I know rambling..but my head is in a whirl decideing which job to do first.Hmm......goot be the washing machine.Oh well...Hope you lot have a better day than me today.Adios for now .xxx

if you keep filling up its petrol

 

B) B) ;) :16: :lol: ;)

[El Dingo]

Why would I fill a washing machine with petrol????? ;)

[Guest gooner52]

your the only one that can answer that one

 

why do you :blink: :huh: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Smilge]

MO4 ...... Without looking at it, sounds like the bearings have gone in the drum. I've fixed a few in my time and never known the drum nut to come undone. I think our machine is a bit like yours; more on than its off! Hope it is the nut that's come loose and not the bearings.

 

Good luck

[Guest neil_wiles]

The LG Intellowasher has an integral motor and drum and it is very likely that the motor carrier has come loose on the rear panel.

 

This machine according to the manufacturer does not have any belts or pulleys and the main shaft of the drum is actually the motor.

 

Try checking the bolts (about six of them) on the rear panel in a circle around the centre line of the drum.

[mumof4]

When i took the back off the machine, there was a belt on the back of the drum..and the drum does have a lot of free play in it when moved from side to side and up and down..to be honest ..i checked everything i ould see..waggled a few things..tightened others..but the amount of wires stopped me from pulling it all apart..but since then no more loud knocking..touch wood..fingers crossed......just need to sort the door out now.

 

 

But i shall go check those bolts....thanks neil.

 

 

where are the bearings????

[Smilge]

:blink: Oooh it's one of them hey? ..... I assume, like Neil said, that it has an integral motor / drum and the drum load is taken up by the bearings within the motor. Is the whole drum supported by shock absorbers connected to the base of the chassis because they have a tendency to break when the machine is overloaded with washing? With the drum moving around and bouncing off the inside of the machine .... seen that a few times on Hotpoints.

 

Any use?

[Guest neil_wiles]

I got up and went to go out in the Gal and guess what some very kind Bas&%&% has done ?

 

 

 

Kicked the drivers door mirror off, not just the mirror but the cast aluminium mounting arm is broken, WTF is going on I am fuming, gonna kill someone and not only that I heard the damage and got up and because I could only see the passenger side I didnt see it till I went out this morning.

 

 

 

I am screaming inside.

 

 

 

OK so anyone know where apart from Ford I can get a mirror mounting not even worried about the glass or case as I can salvage them ??
