    My machine at the draining stage of it’s cycle gives an error message “check outlet pipe see user guide”

    I removed the back and manually squeeze the machine empty. phew

    Do you think the pump may have gone? If so how do I replace this as technicallyI am a hammer and nails sort of person.

    if youve got the back off (and the appliance unplugged :zap:)

    have a look in the black hose going from the drum to the pump as thats where the filter is, if thats clean take the pump off and check there is nothing stuck in that

    Can you hear the pump whirring away? If yes, you are probably looking for a blockage. If not, the pump may have failed, although it is possible for small objects to get through the filter and jam the pump.

    If it has failed, this is the one you want:

    Put the hammer down and get a screwdriver and a pair of pliers – it’s pretty straightforward.

    Power off, of course.

    Yip unplugged 😯

    That was the very part I squeezed and squeezed.
    This is how I concluded that the pump may be jiggered.

    By the far easiest way to drain it fully is to drop the drain hose into a washing up bowl and let gravity do the work. Apart from that, well done!
