    Hello, have a Whirpool 1200 AW03571 and couldn’t find anything using the search button

    Basically towards the end of any cycle the machine will stop and flash FP (Clean pump, draining fault)

    I have removed and cleaned the filter (would a new one make a difference?)

    And also removed the black pipe from the bottom of the drum, which there was a plastic ball sat?!? I assume this shouldn’t be here so I removed it?

    Anyway I poured water through the drum which came down and out through where the filter sits….

    Is there anything else to test or ami doing the right things to fix this?

    I rent the property so would rather fix this quickly (Unless it needs a new pump?) than have to get in touch with landlords etc who live over an hour away!

    Many thanks for any help!

    To be honest you are better off calling your landlord.It could be a failed pump or a blocked pump.Not wishing to be unkind but if the machine is not yours and i personally would not mess with it.

    You could always check the coupling to the sink spigot (if appropriate).
