Machine not draining so following the instruction manual I tried to check the filter for blockage. Can’t get the cover to unscrew. It turns one full turn anti-clockwise – just enough to get water running out – but I can’t move it further. Can I try to get to it from underneath if I tip the machine back? I presume there is something stuck in there for it to jam like this. Have removed it no problem in the past.
Cheers for any suggestions.Re: Indesit WD10 can’t open filter
There’s obviously something caught in the filter preventing you withdrawing the cap. It will involve taking the pump/filter unit off completely and accessing from behind. 🙁
If you are unsure how to proceed, I suggest getting a local engineer in to sort it for you (won’t be that costly to do)…click the link below for one in your Postcode area 🙂

Thanks for that. I will have another go at it tomorrow and if no success will call out the washing-machine-repair-man!
Re: Indesit WD10 can’t open filter
Tried again with washing machine tipped back a little. Jiggled the twist-cap back and forth half a dozen times as far as it would go each way and then heard a clunk! The cap turned a little more so I did the same again a couple more times and then the cap came out!… to reveal a 2p piece and a 1p piece stuck together and also a small wodge of duct/duck tape. Typical man’s pocket contents, eh?
Did a wash and worked like a dream – well, back to normal anyway!
Thanks for advice above – it was because you said something must be caught in there that made me try again before calling someone out.
Many thanks!
