Bra's are officially the arch nemesis of healthy washing machines. Well done!

I was so pleased when I found this as I have changed 9 drum paddles in the last 3 weeks and bought most of those from espares. Whilst this is the best instruction I can find, it is not for the same version of drum paddle as I have. I have removed and slid (locked) into place all 3 paddles and they have broken off again twice! A hot point technician did it the first time and it lasted one wash in place!

Cheers! Couldn't figure out how to get my paddles out as washer old and a bit smelly so wanted to clean them as well as my usual drawer and filter checks. This was straightforward to watch. Clean paddles :-)

Hi, thanks for your comment. Great to hear that this video has helped you to clean your washing machine. A great eSpares product to use to clean your washing machine can be found here: www.espares.co.uk/product/es1566874/espares-washing-machine-and-dishwasher-cleane

@ilovemiele1 While the other video still holds true... For this washer that was the genuine replacement spare. Some spares are updated or re-coloured over time and it's not uncommon for a spare to look different to the original if bought years after the manufacture of the appliance. In this case this is what the new lifter looks like.

Very helpful thank you.

You are a life saver! Our Hotpoint was making a scarping noise. Was about to buy a new one when I saw this video and realised I might be able to see if something was lodged on the heater element by taking a paddle off. One bra strap removed! Thank you sooo much!

Tabby Brushrd change on hotooint mschinr

@George Savvi the lifters in your machine are the INDESIT type, this is a HOTPOINT drum and lifter.

you said in your other video, that you have to replace the drum lifters with exactly the same one, so how come you started off with the green one, and replaced it with the white one with the pips?

ok the lifter is from a hotpoint drum version you know very well there are 2 versions indesit drum and hotpoint drum in that one is hotpoint drum can i still found the hotpoint drums in some hotpoint washers? I know that my question is irrelevant but please answer! george.

I have an Amana front load washer, I've tried gorrilla glue, 3x, guess its time to order a replacement part.

I need to remove a paddle to get to on object stuck between the drum but cannot work out how to remove the paddle, mine are curved and i have tried every hole to feel for a tab or catch but cannot find anything. I have a Hotpoint AQ113DA 697E, when looking online they call it a Removable Washing Paddle (High End). Do you know to remove these ones? I called Hotpoint but they wouldnt tell me and the part suppliers would provide fitting assistance either, so am hoping you guys can help. Thanks

fixed the mothers washing machine, parts only cost £20. she was crying out for a new one. who needs a plumber. thanks again great video.

how did you do that

Mine have started to get loose and are rattling, is this the problem just need new paddles, thanks

Hi Mudfisher1. We believe new drum paddles should solve the issue for you.

Can you do a video on how to change Hoover/Candy drum paddles

Hi mpowell887, we continue to get new machines to make videos in the future but it is dependent on what is available at the time. remember any issues you have with your appliances we will still help in any way we can.

funny that I had the EXACT same washer and the lifters were grey, and i had seen the repair history.

@eSparesVideo oh ok thanks

I have bought 6 drum lifters (genuine Hotpoint in the past 6 months and fitted them all as directed by this video. I have not overloaded our machine which is only 15 months old. I have tried twice to ring Hotpoint/Indesit but no-one answers the phone. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH THAT I WILL NEVER BUY A HOTPOINT WASHING MACHINE AGAIN.

thank god for youtube now i might be able to get the bra wire out!

Hi there, we've already bought the spare ones thanks, they don't look like this; the metal tab is in the middle of the drum, not at the front. That's why I'm stuck.

If you have the old paddle off it should be easy to push the locating pegs through the slots and slide the paddle over into position. If it does not stay when slid into position check the metal tab shown at 0:49 although your machines tab may be more or less close to the back than this one.

well i have a black hotpoint 9kg load washer,it was under 12 momths old when this happened,hotpoint call them paddles,an enginer eventually camre out,i was told they should never be telling people to fit them themselves,they are very shar with that metal piece sticking up,it riped my clothes to shreds,they have come off four times now in 3 months,now they are talking of replcement,at a delivery and installation cost to myself,again,its not right,also each three times i wanted an eginerr it took three weeks to get one out,so in over three months ive had a washer working 4 5 weeks in total,they never used to have these in them the drum was moulded with the shape of those paddles,never had clothes getting ripped,and talking of ripped thats why they do this now,at 38 pounds for 3 of those paddles its a nice money spinner for them,completely disgusted,ive had hotpoints for years and years and years,now im thinking maybe never again

If an appliance is under warranty we would always suggest you contact your supplier as you can invalidate your warranty by repairing yourself. Paddles can break for a number of reasons but it can be due to how you are using the machine. If you put a few heavy items in a large machine the clothes can 'float' and be hit by the paddles. If there is more in (but not overloaded) the washing will push to the bottom of the drum and roll over as it turns instead of being struck by the paddles. Never use with paddles missing as it can easily damage clothing.

If you cant replace a simple paddle then you need to call someone who can. However it is possible to distort the lifter when fitting so not all the tabs engage when you fit them. so if there any gaps around the outside of the paddle after fitting, then it is going to fail relatively quickly. Use a mirror and torch to check after fitting. Also the metal retainers can become distorted if the machine has been used with heavy loads after the paddles has broken - you may also need to chack how level the metal cutouts are after removal. Again if you are unsure the unwritten answer to find someone who can..

No good for hoover machine, so bit pointless.

Yep, sex sells. By the way I accidentally placed a brick in my washing machine could YOU fix it for me please.
