if you have some thing jamming the filter [plug from unscrewing you might have to break it to get blockage out

Thanks – any suggestions as to how I break it without too much damage to anything else ? Also assuming I can get a new filter plug once I break this one !!! Cheers.

Plug out, lean machine back to a good angle and remove the hose from the tub ot the pump at the pu,p end. You will then be able to extract the foreign body through the inlet tube. Then you can remove the filter.
This all depends on whether or not you’ve got the machine on the plinth/drawer thing.

Re: Help with Hotpoint AQXXF 149 – can’t get the filter off
Hi – good advice many thanks. Leant it back and managed to access the pipes and filter. It was totally blocked with gunge and limescale (and 4 pence and a paper clip!).
Put it all back together but the door lock won’t open. Have tried unplugging, switch off, trying to run a new program then stopping it – but it just makes the door lock sound 5 times and the door lock light stays on – any suggestions ??
Thanks again.
