Just for the sake of repeating other people I have a problem with an Ariston Magherita 2000. The water is not leaving the drum of the washer and the setting dial keeps on moving round. The washer was stopped mid-cycle and the door opened.
Not sure how many times the lights are flashins as I’m at work now, but seem to remember its the right one thats flashing. If set it onto spin cycle it won’t spin but sometimes will do a wash cycle the water however will not empty.
My wife seam to think this has happened before and there is away of fixing it by setting it to one of the end of cycle marks? Have missplaced the distructions and wife away for the week so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

craigh,
The problem is almost certainly a blockage in the pump (coin, button etc) Now depending on the model machine you have (you didn’t say?) The pump will need to be looked at first. 😉
Usually it is located behind the plastic ‘kick panel’ at the bottom front of the machine. Remove this and your getting close, but remember to switch off the machine and unplug it from the mains first!
To drain off the excess water beforehand, simply lower the drain hose into a bowl or bucket and gravity will do the rest. Beyond this? If you need to ask…go ahead… :tup:

Cheers Martin,
back up and running. It was a blockage caused by a pebble the kids had found on the beach. Pebble had jammed behind the drain plug which meant it took a bit to undo.
Thanks for the advise, gave me the confidence to drain the water off which was the greatest fear.
If I could Email a pint I would
Thanks
Craig
