How to fit a washing machine drum paddle/drum lifter

Make sure that you select the correct type of drum paddle for your washing machine,  all manufacturers use different variations and there are specific ones for certain models.

1. Safety first: unplug the washing machine from the mains power supply.
2. Remove the old drum paddle by inserting a screwdriver or similar instrument down into the third hole,  this pushes down on to a metal tab and releases the drum paddle from the drum.  You can now pull the drum paddle away from the drum.
3. To fit the new drum paddle make sure that the 3 pips located on the outside of the drum paddle are facing outwards and ensure that the clips at the bottom line up with the holes on the washing machine drum.
4. then push down on the drum paddle and push to so that it fits into place. 

 Your drum paddle is now fitted and ready for use
