    This machine stops at the drain part of the cycle and is left full of water. If I drain the thing the water gushes out of the filter access hole like a river. Any ideas – I love this machine and I don’t want to lose it?

    How do I get to that. the back of the machine? (the base has a plate I can’t get off – the back has some kind of weird headed bolts)

    From the front, directly behind the filter.

    Thanks for that. I took the 2 screws oof the base of the front. Do I need to take the rubber seal off the drum (scary……) because the front only moves forward a few inches?

    I dont want to seem rude, but if you want to save your machine then I would call out an engineer it may be the safest bet. As it sounds like you may be undoing things you shouldn’t.

    ….also I was suggesting you simply check the pump directly behind the filter cover and NOT taking the front panel off!

    Sorry Martin – you seemed to be implying I could remove said obstacle.

    oh hum – now if I can just find a reliable engineer who will charge me less than a new machine in L37 😆

    Indeed I was, just remove round white drain filter and take a look inside pump/filter chamber to see if the 4 bladed pump impellor inside is not obstructed. No need to remove any screws, just peek inside, that’s all! 😉

    I thought it the ‘impeller’ was a seperate box. Anyhow, just about to give it one last go this a.m., drained it all out (again), looked inside and saw what you meant – the fins – and there was the b*gger – a nail obviously from my little’uns collection!!

    If you were ’round here I’d take you for a pint – or two

    many thanks
