Renegade bra underwires

Underwires have escaped from my bra into the belly of the machine during the last wash. It seems to be working just fine, but I'm worried they may cause some damage in there. Is there any way how I can pull them out myself?

It probably get between the clothes tub and the outer tub. If it gets between the tubs, it may then get into the drain hose that's attached to the pump. To remove it from the outer tub port, open the washer's main access panel and remove the large-diameter rubber hose that connects the pump to the bottom of the outer tub and try to remove it through the port. To access to it, first bail and sponge out any water in the machine's tub. Then tip the washer over on its front, using a heavy blanket or pad to protect the washer's finish. Good luck !

Is it possible to reset the arxd 169?

Your machine may have a drain trap which can be unscrewed to see if any foreign materials have entered the pump. If not you may have to release the pipe from the drum to the pump to see if any kirbie grips, loose change or even bra underwires have made their way down and jammed up the pump. My wife and kids are a nightmare I have this issue constantly. If you do this and all is clear check the pump is spinning it may have failed.

My Whirlpool LHW0050PQ front load washer's tub is making a clicking noise when turning. It almost sounds as if there was a metal part stuck between the tub and the inside of the machine. Is ther

Have you lost any underwires in any bras? Would be my first check, as years ago I had a similar sound & it turned out to be part of a broken underwire from my bra, I manage with a bright torch & a pair of tweezers to locate the offending object by slowly turning the drum with my hand & the teasing the metal through one of the drum holes & retrieved it, I wasn't ever going to pluck my eyebrows with the tweezers again but hey, they're cheaper than washing machines!!

I hope this helps, let me know if I can help any further...

Bra Underwires slipped through the holes in the washer drum ... how can I get them out? EIFLW55HMBO.

possibly using a long pair of thin tweezers/a piece of stiff wire with a small bend in it.because if that fails the only other way is to remove the front door seal!

Servis M6602W Washing Machine making scratching noise as drum spinning, I believe there is something gone through the holes in the drum and rubbing along the outside. How can I get access to...

There is no easy way to access the space between the inner and outer drum, unless you count cutting a hole in the inner drum and then welding it back up again afterwards. But it's hard to do this without leaving the drum unbalanced and prone to damaging subsequent wash loads. On some machines you can gain a very limited access by removing the drain tube running from the bottom of the drum to the pump. If so then you may be able to use long forceps to remove the item but may have to rotate the drum and tip the machine back and forward as you do so. Not easy when you're beneath the machine, so get strong-armed assistance.

What most often causes this problem is one or more bra underwires and they can be really difficult to fish out again, especially if they get chewed up and bent. Eventually the underwires often get chewed up and are then small enough to pass down to the trap just before the pump, so make sure that you regularly check the trap for debris as it may damage the pump or cause blockages if left unattended. If this has caused your problem then prevention is easy: never machine wash underwired bras.

Good luck, please take a moment to rate my reply.

Bra underwire stuck in Bosch WAE22461AU

You can try using a very high strength magnet to bring the clip up to a hole in the tub so that you can then use a pair of fine long nose pliers to grasp it and reef the little blighter out!

Kenmore front load washer

Machine is draining slow...probably from debris caught in dain hose or pump filter. Many people find safety pins, loose change and bra underwires lodged in the drain trapping lint, threads and other items which are narrowing or blocking the drain. The machine will only go into spin if it drains within a few (timed) seconds. Otherwise, the machine senses too high water level for spin out and shuts down.

Lost a underwire from a bra

Bra underwires are one of the main engines of the appliance repair buisness.
You do need to keep a close eye out for it in the filter but it probably will do no good to call for repair. The repairman most likely will check the filter and tell you to call back if you have any trouble. Until it works it's way down there isn't much you can do without disassembling the washer.(no small feat for some of them) The only real damage that may occur is if it pokes a hole in the drain hose between the tub and pump. This has happened, but rarely. They will usually make their way to the pump and you will hear the noise, at which time you can usually remove it with no trouble.
Be sure to wash bras in a delicates bag on delicate cycle in the future.
Hope this helps.
Thanks/Mike
