Belive it or not it's washing powder stuck to it. I've had a screw driver and literally sat there for an hour just scraping powder off. Think it's only ever done cold washer as I've never seen a build up like that before. In my eagerness to get the machine fired up I put a wrong connecter on the board and heard a pop. I'm hoping it's just the capacitor as there's no power at all going into the machine. I'll replace it tomorrow

Is there a fuse in the small board holding the on-off/door button? Also check that this crud hasn't filled up the pressure tube (Left of your foot in first photo). | ||

I do admit Rob, it does look like corrosion rather than powder. I hope it isn't but I agree with Logixx. | ||

What are these spiders made of again? Isn't it the same material they use for the bearing support? | ||

Hi guys. If you zoom in my first pic you can see just how much powder was in the machine. I could of filled a couple of boxes. The spider is a mixture of a lot of powder and some corrosion. Plans on hold for it for now as I keep out for a replacement spider. All the other parts have had a deep clean and no black gunk left.

No thanks lol. Over 18 years of repairing washers and hundreds of bearing changes I've never seen one this bad. I've seen a lol with loads of black gel mouldy stuff when people have used liquid
The miele came from a soft water area and the owner admitted it's main use was quick washes. Surprise surprise. The bearings on this machine were actually fine and didn't need replacing. I would rather work on the old hotpoints. That's what I trained on back in the day. So much easier | ||
