Drum paddle keeps coming off had machine blocage

Your best option is to call someone out! If this is on a washing machine glue won't last very long as the force with which the drum spins will be too much for the glue to hold. Is the machine doing anything else different? This can give clues to why the paddles keep breaking.

Hello,
With some of these machines now they have sealed drums.On some models you can access through the bottom sump hose and others you may be able to get access through the hose by the soap box.There are a couple of drums where you can drill a hole in the top to get at the tags on the paddles and some drums where you cannot do without changing the complete tub.

Hope this helped.

I had this problem, and I was advised by the guy who has apparently 'replaced hundreds of these bloody things on this housing estate' to never buy this machine because 'its cheap and ****'

However, if you bend the long central tab ,the one that looks like it does bugger all, upwards into the drum (carefully though, only bend it a little) this will increase the tab tension, and your lifters should last for over six months instead of the previous couple of washes mine was doing.
As for the comment on washing trainers, I put a single towel in my machine and the lifters broke...
