Product Information
Full details
The SPARES2GO 8 hole drum paddle lifter (04-SHC-734) is an essential replacement component designed for owners of Bush washing machine models WMDF612W and WMSAE612W who need to restore their appliance's cleaning efficiency. By agitating laundry within the drum, this lifter ensures garments are tumbled correctly for thorough rinsing and washing. While it offers a perfect direct-fit for the specified Bush models, users must verify their current drum requires an 8 hole configuration rather than a 9 hole version before installation to avoid compatibility issues.

FAQs
Does this part include mounting screws?
This unit is designed to snap into existing mountings; please retain your original fixings if required by your specific machine model.
How do I know if I have the 8 hole version?
Count the visible holes on your existing drum paddle. If you count 8, this is the correct replacement.
Can I use this on a non-Bush washing machine?
No, this component is specifically engineered for the dimensions and mounting style of the listed Bush models.
Is it difficult to install?
It is a standard DIY task. Most users can complete the replacement in under 15 minutes using basic tools.
Will this help with loud noises during the spin cycle?
If the noise is caused by a loose or damaged paddle, replacing it with this new part will resolve the issue.
Troubleshooting
The new paddle feels loose after installation.
Verify that all 8 mounting clips or screws have fully engaged with the drum holes.
The lifter does not align with the drum holes.
Double-check that you are not attempting to install an 8 hole lifter into a drum designed for a 9 hole variant.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Cost-effective alternative to OEM parts
- Restores proper laundry agitation and cleaning performance
- Precise dimensions for quick installation
- Prevents clothing damage caused by worn or broken fins
Cons
- Not compatible with 9 hole drum variants
- Requires manual installation effort
- Compatible spare part, not a branded Bush component
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning installation, ensure your washing machine is unplugged from the power source for safety.
Compatibility
- Supported Models: Bush WMDF612W, Bush WMSAE612W.
- Verification: Always inspect your existing drum paddle. If your current unit features 9 holes, this 8 hole version will not fit correctly.
Installation Steps
- Open the washing machine door and locate the broken paddle.
- Carefully depress the locking tabs or remove the fixing screws (depending on your specific drum configuration) to release the old paddle.
- Align the new SPARES2GO lifter with the mounting holes in the drum.
- Slide or snap the new paddle into place until it is firmly locked and secure.
Care
Check the drum paddles periodically for sharp edges or signs of plastic fatigue. Keep the drum free of foreign objects like coins or keys, as these are the most common causes of paddle damage.
