Hi I'm Mat from eSpares, in this video I'll be showing you how to change
a heater on a Candy or Hoover washing machine.
If you all heater has failed on your washing machine you'l either noticed that the washing cycle doesn't finish
or you'll notice in E16 error code on the digital display.
Safety first always unplug an appliance before carrying out any work.
The next thing I need to do is to remove the back panel by undoing these six nuts at the back.
With the back panel removed the heater is at the bottom.
So now what we need to do is to remove the electrical connections.
There are quite a few it can be a good idea to take a photograph of the electrical connections.
So when your new heater is finished you can put them back
in exactly the way that you found them.
It might also be useful to use a flat headed screwdriver to help release the clips.
We now need to remove the nut on the shaft here but until the end of the shaft.
And then using the box driver place that on the end of the shaft give it a strike.
That should release the clamp which then will release the heater.
With the clamp released i am now going to use a flathead screwdriver just to leaver out the heater
being very careful as I do so not to damage any of the machine.
Before putting in the new heater into the washing machine its worth pointing out
how much lime scale is on the old heater here which may be the reason for its failure.
If you have a similar amounts of lime scale in your machine you can see how best to deal
with that in a separate eSpares video called how to cure a smelly washing machine.
So before I put the new heater in to the drum I'm just going to lubricate
the rubber seal with some washing up liquid we should just help it slip in nice and easily.
Make sure it lines up with the clamp inside the drum and it should slip in like so.
You can then re tighten the bolt and reconnect the electrical connectors.
With the bolt firmly on the shaft and the electrical connectors all reconnected
I can now refit the back panel.
So there we have it , one new heater fitted to this washing machine.

Thanks for watching.
