    😀
    I recently put our 10 year old Zannussi Nexus machine on a hot wash as I was advised to do this every so often.

    To be fair we probably had not done it in years and the hot wash flushed through a great residue which I had hours of fun removing from the inner part of the seal.

    Having successfully done that we have found that the filter area is not draining after washing causing a build up of stale water which stinks.

    Any thoughts please on what the problem is and how I may fix it.

    Thanks and best wishes

    The “gunge” will have caused a blockage.

    Presumably the filter has been checked 😉

    If that’s OK, check further up at the point where the waste hose connects to the sink trap (if it does), it’s most likely blocked in there.

    Dave thanks very much for your advice

    I turned the machine over disconnected the hoses and found plenty more of the gunk

    I think it might be sorted now

    Many thanks

    You blokes on UK white goods are great

    Best wishes

    No Problem 😀

    I turned the machine over

    :eeek: Not upside down I hope ? If you did, please don’t, it causes all sorts of problems!!

    Keep a good watch over it the first time you use it on a full cycle.

    Dave.
