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).
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.

Ah I suppose it could be something in the pipe, now you mention it it seemed to work better when I had it out in a bucket than when I reattached it so it looped up to the top of the machine and and then down into the waste pipe.
What would one use to unblock the pipe? I expect there's some kind of expensive flexible rod type thing.

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

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?
