We bought two identical washing machines a couple of years ago one for the house and one for the static caravan......the bearings of the one in the house were getting a bit noisey so I thought I would swap them over....so this morning I brought the house one down to the van and swopped them over....now BOTH of them will not switch on no display they are getting power water pressure and I have no idea what is wrong...any ideas?

not working BASTARD BASTARD BASTARD
I assume that you did re-fit the transit screws.
em no but the drum doesn't seem to have damaged anything
stuff it I give up I will just trash both machines...
Maybe they just didna' like being moved........
What did the identical instruction manuals say to do ?
I would say the outlet they're plugged into, has tripped out. Test outlet with light bulb or other test load.

looking that way

The replacements will do the same thing.
very true
There is water in the bottom of the machines and it's tripped the aquastop. Wait a day or two and it'll dry out, then try again.

Seems odd. Are the machines still fairly level, I have had door switches malfunction if they have to latch when part of the structure has been in a different position for a while, but it would seem a great coincidence if that affected both. I know its a right pain, but you might need to swap them back, if both fail, then you have a new issue, either there is some difference in the way you are connecting them up or they both did not like being moved and have a fault.

I think then its time you named and shamed. The fact there is no display may well start your search with the mains plug fuse and onto the innards. Depends very much on how electronic it is. Brian
Ours never had any, they had a specially shaped bit of polystyrene and one in the drum. I'd have thought with all the shaking that goes on at spin time a gentle drive in a vehicle would not really make much difference. Brian
Normally the concrete weights are well away from damageable bits, though they can dent the sides on some. Brian
