  Didn't think I was very good at fixing things - that's what my husband is for. He doesn't have much confidence in me buying things online so thought I would have a go myself and surprise him. I surprised myself - easy to replace the broken part and all works well. Very quick delivery and very reasonable price - I use my tumbledrier a lot there being six of us at home.

  Very impressed with Espares' service. Particularly putting up a Youtube vid as I would never have had the confidence to rip apart my washing machine otherwise.

• Q What can you do if the hinge backplate falls inside ? 2 Answers

  I hadn't read this - wish I had ! So when I unscrewed the hinges I heard something fall which I now know was the hinge backplate and I have nothing to screw the hinges into. Is there any way to open it up to get the hinge plate back in line or any way to replace with a new hinge plate ?

    Dont worry, it happerned to me and was easy to over come, you only need to take the top off, then just need to tip the machine up a little, put two big books under each front corner of the machine, this will not be to much that it can fall over, put your arm under and you will find it, then may be get some one to help you hold the front of the hinge and you can hold the back part by putting your arm down through the top, then this can be screwed back on. It will save you a small furtune doing it your self, Thanks to espares.

    OK, for future DIY`ers; Do not let this happen if avoidable, BUT, when installing the hinge...DISCONNECT THE FRONT TUB RUBBER SEAL FROM THE FRONT OF THE WASHING MACHINE and you can hold the Backplate inside as you put the screws through OUTSIDE HINGE and screw it up. OR, remove the TOP COVER and FRONT TOP PANEL and SOAP TRAY so as to REACH DOWN to hold the back plate. I have not ever had this machine of mine turned on its` side but I think that most all machines of these types are OPEN UNDERNEATH so that you could search around for it.

• Q Creda Tumble Dryer replacement door hinge fitment 1 Answer

  I've managed to locate the appropriate replacement door hinge and retainers on this site for my Creda Tumbledryer (Model # T522VW). That's the easy part I feel as when I now look at the design in retrospect I cannot see how I can undo the present (broken) hinge retaining screws without the nuts/plate retainer on the other side of the front panel (i.e. INSIDE the machine) falling off and into the machine somewhere. Anyone completed this door hinge replacement successfully? If so, how did you manage to get around this nutty problem please? Regards, Steve

    Before I replaced this part, I unscrewed the three screws on the back of the table top cover & took the cover off so that I could secure the backing plate that the two hinge retaining screws go into. Thereby, preventing a lot of wasted time rumaging around for the back plate. I also replaced both Washing Machine / Tumble Dryer Hinge Bearings as these were damaged when the metal failed. You may prefer to use the original Washing Machine / Tumble Dryer Hinge Bearings, but the fitting procedure is the same:- After fitting the hinge to the washing machine, I unscrewed the three screws on the door, prised the door inner & outer apart with a blunt table knife, removed the plastic Washing Machine / Tumble Dryer Hinge Bearings, slid the Washing Machine / Tumble Dryer Hinge Bearings over the hinge & reassembled the door. Thereby, reattaching the door to the washing machine. I did it this way for ease & to prevent the weight of the door making the securing the hinge to the washing machine more difficult. As each model may vary, you may have to do things slightly differently.
