Washing machine clicking

[BeerCat]

If the motor doesn't spin, but hums, the the starting capacitor is shot (usually a big silver or white plastic "tube", and normally located on/near the motor). I had a Bosch machine that had 4 sets of brushes, a new capacitor and a pump before the bearings gave up and I decided to get a new machine (lasted 15 years with repairs)

Thanks mate. Have managed to repair speakers and a monitor before by changing the caps. I don't have the tools here to get the motor off but i will put a note on it and have a look sometime. Good to know.

Edit. I have just found the right size spanner (amazingly). Will get the motor off tomorrow and have a look.

It's a "Throwaway Society" alright!

The first washing machine I bought was a 2nd hand Parnall like this one ...



It cost £15 and SWMBO thought it was the dog's doodads and it beat the hell out of the one it replaced ...



... especially as she had two dozen nappies to wash each week!

There's another "throwaway" item - Nappies. The two dozen nappies and liners we bought for child No.1 did for child No.2 and were then handed on to a relative!

Happy Days!
