  • I've been battling with my washing machine today and I think it's won.

    It's been stopping at the draining stage of a cycle and showing an error code. I've taken it apart, cleaned the pump and put it back together again, so I'm fairly confident there's no blockage in it (I removed three coins from the pump filter though).

    If you put it on a Drain & Spin only cycle, it will drain and spin - so the pump does work. But at the end of a full programme you get the same error message.

    What's it's damn problem?

  • showing an error code

    Does it just say “error” or is it a specific code? Have you googled the model and some variation of the problem?

    Ours wasn’t draining well, and was managing to spin a bit, but new brushes sorted the problem - although seems unlikely to be the same issue if yours is spinning ok.

    We had similar. Cleaned the filter and whatnot, no improvement. Turned out that a button (thanks Rapha) had got through the filter then wedged in the waste pipe where it joined the soil pipe. Combined with gunk it made a seal that was good enough to bugger a full cycle but a rinse drain was ok.

    So check for resistance in the pipe itself. Pull the pipe and run a cycle with it draining in to a bucket. If the flow is anything but a torrent you’ve still got a blockage.

    No idea, been through the same issue with ours and just caved and ordered a new one the other day.
