Servis M3024

i had a servis washing machine i have only had it for about three in a half years it has caused me nothing but trouble. lound noises two new motors smoke coming out had to be repaired and now dont spin.ive had enough buying new washing machine had to would never buy another servis machine again. alful.

I bought the Servis M3024 washing machine second-hand, and I was told it was a great little thing...

...How wrong they were! How many times I have had to re-spin clothes I do not know! And that is if it washes them properly at all!

Got offered this Servis M3024 machine by our local church charity for free (it was about 2 years old) in December 2004. Gave my little sister our old Hotpoint for £20, who replaced the filter for £8. She is delighted, and she got the better deal!

I have to stand by the machine waiting for the rinse cycle so I can pour the fabric conditioner in at the right moment! Have stripped the top of the machine and discovered that there appears to be a manufactured cutout in the waterpathways that completely prevents the water reaching the fabric softener part of the soap tray! I now know at least one other person who had this problem and skipped their machine rather than offload it to someone else.

It also appears that someone has replaced at least one burntout controller/module and taken a crowbar to it at some point (in frustration, no doubt!).

Now awaiting the infamous 'spin' problem whilst saving for a replacement!

In summary: you need to be desperate (we were)!!!!!!

The Servis M3024 makes a very good plant pot

I had the Servis M3024 from new for approximately 2 yrs - problems from the start with drum pulley working loose & drivebelt regularly coming off. Now the drive-motor appears to have become mis-alighned. Solution is a mystery. Would not recommend this or any other Servis products.

Had the machine over a year now - it frequently "twangs" as the motor attempts to move the drum and sometimes fails to reach a spin speed at all! Thought we were just overloading the drum as it has a small loading capacity (1/2 for synthetics) so didn't contact for service in fear of being charged for a no fault call-out, but I can see now from other reviews that a common fault exists in the motor board.

Programme must be precisely set by the correct number of tiny clicks as even the user manual states this will prevent the machine from washing correctly.

Wanted a basic cheap machine, nothing fancy, but this one is just pathetic and driving the mrs to tears :-(

Do NOT buy - I would NOT recommend this model to anyone!!!

Servis M3024 - Bad Machine even worse service (SERVIS). Purchased in January 2002. Broke down in March 2003 (would not spin at all) engineer came out, did not have the circuit board on the van, had to order it and the machine was finally repaired 4 weeks later, this was obviously done under warranty. Due to this I decided to get some additional insurance cover for the machine (good job really). Worked ok until September 13th 2004, when it developed the same fault. The engineer arrived on Tuesday 14th did not have the 'SAME' circuit board as before on the van so it had to be ordered he said "it should take 3 days" for them to receive it, I phoned on 20th and 24th and the part had still not arrived. I can only guess that I am looking at another 4 week stint.........Servis must have shares in launderettes.

Servis M3024 - I too bought one of these machines just over a year ago. It hasn't spun properly for weeks. I phoned the helpline and was told to check the filter? If that didn't work then it would cost £50 for a callout, before they have even looked at it! It is absolutely disgraceful and I will never buy another Servis product ever again!! If I too had known about the sensor, I would never have purchased this machine.

Bought the Servis M3024 in Jan 2002 and it looks like I got lucky because I got 1 year of good use out of it before the trouble started. First the hot water pump broke, then the machine would not take the fabric conditioner for no apparent reason and still won't. Now I have the infamous "spin problem". Just to clarify, is everyone else's spin problem that the drum spins but nowhere near fast enough?

We bought our Servis machine 2 years ago and have had 4 occurences of the infamous "will not spin" problem . Our machine failed again christmas eve 2003 , the earliest the engineer could come out was the 5th of Jan 2004. 2 weeks later ( waiting for parts ) i contacted customer care to find out they finally wrote the machine off and we await a cheque in the post . we will not buy Servis again
