Wire under the drum. What's the easiest way to remove something like this?

Question

Hello. One day something started to grind while spinning. It turned out that there was some wire under the drum. As thick as underwire from a bra, only this one is bent in a circle, and the underwire is only half a circle :) . So far I have not been able to remove it, it is stuck under the...

Hello.
Maybe it bent in a circle when it hooked the drum, if it is not active (i.e. it does not make noise), it can lie under the heater as long as it is calm.
There are different schools of thought for removing things from the tank. One of them is to remove the heater, the other is to remove the masking element in the drum, the other is to use working hands and it comes out the way it got, i.e. the hole from the drum.

Hello . This is one more question for the patient. What is this masking element in the drum? I also read on the forum about the method of disassembling the heater, but I don't understand ..after unscrewing the nut, push the screw inside ... - how do I return to my place later? After removing the heater, will there be no problem with the sealing later? .....e.t.c. I would like to know an effective way to remove foreign objects from under the drum in the future. Once I was removing the underwire using the efficient crawl method, it worked, but the work was disastrous Thanks for any instructions.

Hello, the masking element is a plastic part after removing which you have access to the space under the drum, and when it comes to the heater, after removing it you will know exactly how it all works

in AWM 245 the heater comes out very nicely and there is no problem with reinstalling it There are no plugs in the AWM washing machines drum and therefore this method is not applicable

You disassemble the front front of the washing machine (screws at the bottom under the plastic cover), pull out the heater, the lamp to the inside of the drum - you look where the underwire is; you pull it out using, for example, a long soft wire, put the heater back, the front front and DONE.

Hello.
This problem will always arise where there are women in the house.
Washing machine Whirlpool AWM 248-800 . I tilt the washing machine to the side, disconnect the drain rubber (hose) from the drum. As I move the drum, I watch through the drain hole when the wire appears. Then, using the tweezers, I try to position the wire so that its end is opposite the hole. Then I take it outside. Once again, I draw the attention of the fair sex, and I sincerely hope that this is really the last time.

And how does the underwire fall under the heater? (almost always) Greetings.

Hello. If it does not make noise, why move it? after all, it is no longer reusable in its original incarnation.

Hello. secretary the outlet opening is opposite the heater, you can also check the heater if there is any limescale on it. Paul he wrote: You have no idea what damage an innocent looking wire can do to your washing machine. Greetings.

Hello. Buddy Ryszarda49, underwire in washing machines is not the fault of women but of their man. Lack of proper massage or complete lack of it, and the woman is forced to resort to such fantasies. Take this remark with a pinch of salt, OF COURSE. Greetings.

Hello. Damages? if it lies innocently under the heater? Besides, not every underwire is made of wire, plastic stiffeners are also used, but they also become cumbersome when left in the washing machine's tank. And what will col. Ryszard49 that you will look at the heater with or without a stone?

Hello.
My friend Paul apart from damaging the heater, the apron may tear. The wire starts to move during the spinning process.
Greetings.

If the wire stays under the heater, it will be hard to remove after removing only the rubber (hose) from the drain drum It is better to disassemble the heater (in most washing machines - by the way). It is known that the wire moves. But I have never seen an apron break because of this :D Greetings.

Hello!
I must boast that I took out the underwire (flat wire) with tweezers. I put it in the hole in the drum (a tweezer with a narrow tip) after locating the "stopping point" of the whalebone. Then - taking care not to get caught on other elements in the tank, I turned the drum back and forth. Suddenly, the underwire appeared in one of the holes - quite unexpectedly, I admit - and after the trouble.
Hi!

Fangrat · Answer

In top-loading washing machines, you can quickly remove the wire with a neodymium magnet, put it inside the drum and then rotate it around the axis. After several attempts to locate the wire, it is attracted to the magnet placed in the drum and then, with the rotation of the drum, we gain unhindered access to it.

And if the underwire is made of aluminum (and there are such), your plan will backfire ...

And even faster by removing the drum mixer or plastic (there are such)
