Washing Machines

[Kazi]

My frggin washing machine decided it wasn't going to work today, randomly without warning it just displayed an error code on display which according to the manual means this;

Err8: Water exceeds protective level

Correction: Check the circuit and contact the maintenance personnel.

Anybody got any experience in this field and can maybe shed some light on the matter?

I've cleaned the drainage pipes, removed a 2- coin from the filter and drained the machine but it still keeps displaying this err code.

Am I better off dumping this machine which is only just over a year old, or better to get it repaired?

Cheers folks,

Kaz.

What sort is it mate?

Remind me not to come too close to you tomorrow as I'll be wondering what that funny smell is

Mate, my kitchen floor was flooded from the dam thing, im still seething with rage from it. Its a Haier which is a sister company of one of the bigger brands, think its Hotpoint.

Spare me the jibes tomoz to Aido, it may still be a sore subject!!! :P

I'm having trouble loading this mate but there's a service manual here:

Well it finally loaded and has some suggestions what to try in that service manual, but it's the last page that worries me - who has this as their company logo?!

Cheers dude, although its not my exact model it does give me an idea. Looking at that its making me think its the Pressure Switch.

I'll just ask the wife for you

Usually if it comes up with an error, you need the bypass cable and facia off eBay and maybe go aftermarket? Not sure but think DJ Wozza might have done a walkthrough on how to sort it

Edit: Oh not sure if it works with a washing machine though :D

That's exactly how it came off their website Not surprised with a pic like that either

At least their engineers must be happy!

At that time in a morning mate Phil did well to type that lot - remember the crap I used to come out with about three years ago after I'd had some beer and came on LOC

It's most likely a simple fault, the washing machine in my apartment (that's rented out at the mo) went wrong a few weeks ago and I was all set to buy an £800 replacement (as it's 10 years old) but then discovered all it needed was a £30 replacement door lock and it's ready to go for another 10 years.

Have you checked the filter under the machine? And also the pipe that takes the water away (not the one on the machine, but the one the machine pipe is connected to)?
