Aquarius WT540 and flashing lights problem

[broadpaws]

Hi guys – my washing machine is playing up – just in time for crimbo.

basically it will not finish a cycle and we get lights 2 & 4 (reduced crease & mini load ) + on/off flashing.

if i turn power off then on i can select a spin and it will finish – but looks to be lots of water being spun out.

suggestions on fix welcomed.

cheers

Its possible you have a blockage.

The first place to look, after you have removed the mains plug is inside the large black sump hose located behind the small, lower back panel.

Have a few towels handy and make sure you keep the water of the components.

Ah, its the dreaded sealed drum model. What you actually have is a WT540/1, the full model number makes all the difference. 😉

Worth making sure you don’t have some frozen pipework as well.

50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of my washing machine calls in the past two weeks have been due to the weather, mainly in garages but several frozen up inside the kitchens.

Okay – found the blockage its at the end of the black pipe and into the pump housing – a lovely selection of coins – 3 £1 – 5 2p’s 4 pennies and 3 10p pieces combined with a golf ball size of fluff/material – half of which was wrapped and the bit that unscrews from the front of the m/c

i will need to source a new part as it was in tight and the thread was difficault to unscrew it broke.

cheers for the help

filter isnt listed as a seperate part for that (which would explain why u cant find it)

pump complete however is c00145315

there is a part number for a generic filter kit, with 4 or 5 filters in there, but is as expensive as a new pump

http://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/Washing+ … +Pump.html

is what you require

and by the way, it wouldnt have broke if youd taken the pump off, and removed the pump back.. thats the easieast (and, aparantly , cheapest) way to do it!

good luck
