20 Most Recent EuroTech EWF150 Front Load Washer Questions & Answers

I looked at the washer drum online and the holes seem pretty small there are (from the outside looking in some groves that it may have gone thru.} Have you taken a flash light and with someone else rotating it {drum) by hand gotten a general idea of where it may be sticking thru by sound? then looking closely at that area for a protruding bit of wire? then grabbing i with a needle nose pliers or a wire cutter and pulling it out? I'm not sure how technical you are cuz taking it apart to get to the drum may be a challenge. Hope this helps you.

the leak sounds more like the dooe seal...... cheers

Check that the drive belt so in good condition & replace if worn, or Replace the timer switch, can be bought online.

you can maybe stick your head in it and look for screws to undo..... but you're probably gonna need to take the whole front panel off... (maybe all 4 !) ... flip it on its back and look underneath for screws to remove.... same on the back..... if you manage to get the front panel off.... you should be able to see how the door is held on.

It is a common fault that the drain fails to work in most machines in a period of time and is the most problematic fault in a washing machine. In all occasions it is important that your observation is most important and so is vital to the identification /rectification and solution. If you have noticed that water has leaked then as the drain hose pump/valve and fittings are located on the underside of the machine it is important that you look for possible leaks here. In some cases the drain hose would be clogged at the drain end to outlet of the house and so there will be back flushing resulting in overflow to the outside. Also the drain pump/valve can be clogged. Now remove the drain hose clamps and remove the drain pump/valve, clean the drain pump/valve, use back flushing to clear off all dirt. Now test using power to see if this works and can be simulated. When refitting, the hose must be tightened properly. If the pump/valve does not work even with power then it must be replaced. If there is intermittent power to the drain valve/pump then the program controller unit is a suspect.

Finally the washer must be placed with a tilt- use a spirit level- so that all water will drain to the outlet port and thereby there is no residual water remaining.

I am not 100% sure your problem is the same as the one i had with my frigidare front loader but my door lock switch went bad. it would wash fine but when it came time to spin it only would tumble.

Hello,

First, try leveling the feet, making sure that each one is bearing down at the same pressure.

You might have weak shocks, or just a weak floor. Try replacing the shocks, or just adjust the feet to ensure they all are making contact with the floor. If this dosn't work, you might have to strengthen the floor with a 1 inch piece of plywood screwed down.

Then, make sure your load is evenly balanced. Using a conventional top-loader, for example, any large single object should be balanced by another similar object or several smaller so that when it spins it is not wildly out of balance.

With a front-loader, try reducing the spin setting from Maximum to Normal or Normal to Moderate and see if that helps.

We have two LG front loaders. Both of them shake heavily on Maximum, but settle down nicely on Normal. And the one on the concrete floor shakes much less than the one on a wooden platform. But the key is getting them level and all the feet bearing properly at the beginning.

Good luck.
