Ok so few week ago my washing broke down called the man out and dum inc labour and parts he wanted Â£60 all in ( for like a 10 min job)
So being on the great wide web i looked and found the part biggrin

It came today, but the only problem is there is two wires that connect to the pump and i aint got a clue what way they go around, any you lot know dont need to be blowing shit up or killing myslef aitn really got time for that today cheers wink

Go to the launderette and get a service wash, they come back all clean, dry and folded

Check the wires in the old bit that is still on the mchine.
Compare them to what you have on the new bit.
If they are the same then thet's a good start.
Make a note of colors and where they go.
MAKE SURE the ELECTRICITY is OFF.

When you have connected it, put in on fast spin and lean against it, if it gives you a thrill then you have done it right lol

right .......L & N ...is live and neutral..........connect brown to L ....ok ? but you may have different colours ......all it will do is send pump one way or other just reverse ok ?

yep the L stands for 'lethal'
the N stands for 'non lethal'
it still don't give you a clue as to which goes on which, but it does add that little bit of extra tension into the decision.
............davej would like to point out he ain't serious and a P.M. to manofmuchfun would be a far more sensible solution

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
DONT MESS ABOUT WITH WIRES
Â£60 might sound a lot but what price your familys safety?
You'd probably pay Â£300 fora new machine so its only a small cost .
As I used to be involved in this field I know diy jobs are like timebomes waiting to hapen.
You might get it working, and it seems fine but if it not Professionally connected you could easily cause your whole machine to become 'Live'.
Get a qualified, (ask for proof) engineer/electrician to do it.
One more time
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
DONT MESS ABOUT WITH WIRES
