Sourcing Spare Parts For Candy Cmd146
Hi all, Thanks for letting me join these forums! I am after some help sourcing a part for my washing machine. We recently found out that the reason for our CMD146 Smart Washer Dryer has largely stopped working is because of a chaffed flat ribbon cable (about 1 metre long). This cable runs from the module which is situation bottom rear of the machine and runs tightly with other cables to the top rear via cable tidies to the front control board and so needs to be around a metre in length. After looking into this and speaking to several suppliers. Each time I've been told they cannot tell me the size of the cable or the cable is around 0.3m long. I later took the plunge of a part from partmaster.co.uk (unknown size but assured it was the right part) and on arrvial I was disappointed to find it was around 30cm long. I've spoken with Candy genunine parts and they instantly assumed I needed the harness set of cables but its definately not the case. At the moment I have sent them the same pictures as below. I've attached pictures of the said cable including the incorrect supplied. In terms of written information on the damaged cable - it is as follows - E111235 AV AWM Style 2651 300v 105oC VW-1 LL89862 CSA AWM I A/B 300V 105oC FT1 Any help would be greatly appreciated and in all honesty, if someone was able to help supply the part I would happily pay over the odds for it!

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Candy CMD146 ribbon cable difficult to identify from standard listings
- The problem
- A Candy CMD146 Smart Washer Dryer had largely stopped working due to a chafed flat ribbon cable. The owner reported the damaged cable runs from the lower rear module up to the front control board and appears to need to be about 1 metre long. A replacement ordered as the supposed correct part arrived at only about 30cm and was unsuitable.
- Likely cause
- Confirmed damage to the flat ribbon cable. The discussion also indicates the main difficulty was identifying the correct spare because available listings did not clearly show the cable length or provide photos.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to submit a detailed spare parts enquiry to 4washerhelp spares, as they use the same company, prices and parts database as the official Candy spares sites. The recommendation was to provide as much relevant information as possible so they could check the spare parts diagram and identify the correct ribbon cable.
- Checks to try
- Damaged flat ribbon cable was identified as chafed
- A supplied replacement cable was checked on arrival and found to be about 30cm long, not the required length
- Several suppliers were contacted but could not confirm the cable size
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Flat ribbon cable for Candy CMD146
- Spare parts diagram enquiry
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hello. Unfortunately this kind of part is very hard to source as it's not commonly used. I can find some possible candidates on 4washerhelp spare parts but there are no photos and no size description so you can't be sure. I would suggest sending in a spare part enquiry to 4washerhelp spares, which is run by the same company that runs the official Candy spares sites and has the same prices and database. Send as much relevant information as you can and they should be able to look it up on a spare parts diagram and identify it for you.
