Siemens machine won’t fill at times or spin at all

[faenol]

Our Siemens washing machine is not filling at times and won’t spin at all.

I have checked so see if there is anything blocking the pump outletand it’s clear.

When it is put on spin it it makes a grinding noise and when trying to fill with water it doesn’t sound too great either!

I have checked the hose to the pump and it is secure, howeevr I noticed water accross the tray at the bottom of the machine.

All suggestions will be appreciated

Thank you

We need the full model number (ENr number) as there 100’s of different Siemens. But from the symptoms you gave the motor brushes may be at fault and/or the water level sensor could be blocked.

Start first by giving us that vital number please.

Nearest I can locate on the list is a WXL167AUK/16.

Not filling or spinning would indicate that the machine ‘thinks’ it is full of water, when in fact it isn’t. So perhaps clothing has got between the inner drum and outer tub and blocked the ball valve area of the tub to pump hose? You mentioned it was clear but did you actually check the ball valve part attached to the tub?

A consequence of the above getting blocked, not filling/spinning etc, is that the heater comes on when it shouldn’t burning it out. So the heater needs checking whilst you’re at it.( Ease of access via metal front panel complete removal)

Have fun! Seasons Greetings!
