....Washing Machines

[Mike Fishcake]

You realise that on a domestic appliance enthusiast messageboard somewhere, there's probably a washing machine repairman asking for advice on how to replace a processor fan that's shot, and asking his fellow repairmen if anyone knows how to replace it

[Dougal]

I'd say that you'd have to squeeze one side of it in

Prob something like that, the bottom, smaller part would go through the hole and expand to seal it up

If it's a push fit type a little silicon grease, or failing that washing up liquid will help it ease in no end. Vasaline, should you have any is a no-no

[Stoo]

Yup, because it destroys the rubber..

Water based lube all the way

Good work. What's gonna break next? I reckon it'll be my microwave. It's looking decidedly sketchy atm.

I have to fill my washing machine myself with a jug, because it only puts in a dribble of hot water when you switch it on. It rinses fine though- what's that all about?.

Rinses with cold water? Separate feed?

Yeah, it rinses with cold water, and for a 40 degree wash it should be using a lot more cold water than hot. It just won't put in any cold when it initially fills up. Like I say, I just pour a dozen or so jugfuls into the powder drawer when i switch it on, no point getting a new one just for that reason (besides I can't afford a new one anyway).
