Nordmende WD14752SL Washer Dryer Wash & Dry Cycles on Left of Dial Not Working

Hi Dee, sorry to hear about the problem with your Nordmende WD14752SL Washer Dryer.

The Nordmende WD14752SL is not widely documented in the UK market, though it's popular across the Republic of Ireland and mainland Europe. This means we need to be methodical in our diagnosis. Let me walk you through the most likely causes and how to test them.

First: Check the Drum Rotation

The most critical question is whether the drum rotates during a wash cycle. If it doesn't turn, the problem likely lies with the motor itself.

• Brush motor vs. induction motor: Without technical data readily available, you'll need to inspect the motor directly. If you have a brush motor, examine the carbon brushes carefully—worn or damaged brushes are a common failure point.
• Visual inspection: Remove the lid and look for obvious damage, debris, or wear inside the drum area.

Test the Water Valves and Solenoids

Water inlet valves are often overlooked but frequently cause cycle failures. Even a single faulty valve can prevent the machine from operating correctly on specific cycles.

• Locate the water valves beneath the lid or housing.
• Use a multimeter to test each solenoid for continuity—an open-circuit solenoid will need replacing.
• Check for visible blockages or mineral deposits, especially if you're in a hard-water area.

Evaluate the Pump

If the machine drains within the expected time, the pump is likely functioning correctly. Drainage issues point to a different problem area.

Next Steps: Get Visual Evidence

Because technical diagrams for this model may be limited, visual inspection is invaluable:

• If possible, record a short video showing the fault behaviour and upload it to YouTube.
• Take clear photos or video of the interior with the lid removed.
• Document exactly which cycles fail and which work normally.

Share the video link or images with us—it often reveals issues that are difficult to diagnose through text alone.

Program Faults

Once you've verified that individual components are working correctly, program or control board faults become more likely. However, always rule out hardware issues first.
