Hello, I’m new to the forums. My other half has got a sock trapped in the door and so we have a big flood. After taking the machine out, cleaning, drying and putting the machine back I’ve spotted a part on the floor that has come loose from my Hisense machine. It’s labelled JF 1 and is as pictured below.

Does anyone know what it is and where it needs to go back? I’ve searched the part number online with no luck. Thanks in advance.

Loose plastic part likely from transit packaging on Hisense washing machine

The problem
After a sock was trapped in the door and caused flooding, the machine was removed, cleaned and dried. A loose plastic part marked 'JF 1' was then found on the floor, and its location on the Hisense washing machine was unknown.
Likely cause
The accepted reply says the part appears likely to be from the machine's transit packaging rather than a working internal component. It was described as the type of plastic spacer often fitted between the back of the outer drum and cabinet for transport, usually used with transit bolts.
What fixed it
Check the instruction manual for the transit packaging and removal illustrations to identify the part. No repair or refitting location was confirmed in the discussion.
Checks to try
  • Visual identification of the loose part marked 'JF 1'
  • Suggested check of the instruction manual for transit packaging diagrams

Hello Peter. That looks like it could be part of the transit packaging. Have a look in the instruction manual to see if it shows you how to remove the transit packaging. It may show a picture of it. Plastic things like that are often used as spacers between the back of the outer drum and the back of the cabinet. A large screw or bolt then pushes through the back of the cabinet, through the spacers, and then screws into the outer drum to hold it solid while being transported. There are normally 3 of them.
