Replacing Drain Hose on Zanussi WDJ1294 – Advice needed

[hcanderson]

I am trying to replace the drain hose on a Zanussi WDJ1294 Washer/Dryer. (About 12 years old)

My problem is with the point the hose exits the back of the machine.
It is constricted by the plastic base plate of the machine. I need to loosen/ remove the base to enable the removal and replacement of the hose, but I cannot seem to get the thing to budge. I have undone the two bolts at the back of the machine, but it still seems to be fixed solid.
Any ideas on what could still be holding it in place ??

The other 6 screws………. 4 under the lid, 2 under the side plugs.

Many thanks, I didn’t know about the screws under the side plugs. I undid these and the four in the top. The base didn’t completly release, but the removal of the side screws gave enough play in the rear of the case to ease out the old hose and ease the new one in. I now just have to clip it all in place and put all the screws back in. This should have saved me £50.00 in call out fees. Thanks again, Howard. 🙂
