Re: WMA34 sump tank….

you say your sump tank is blocked but do not mention your actual fault

if it is a blockage stopping the water from leaving the machine there is a filter located at the back of the machine in the hose leaving the tub and going to the pump. if you remove this hose from the tub you will find a plastic container that stops socks and the like

unplug machine and be carefullof metalwork some can be sharp

Right, do it properly. Drain hose down into a washing up bowl until all flow stops. With the lower rear access panel removed, you will be able to see a black hose exiting the bottom of the drum, retained by a large jubilee clip. Undo this, pull down the hose and extract the filter. Thoroughly clean, check hose for anything that’s got through and re-assemble.

All to be done with the power off, of course.

No doubt there will be howls of outrage in the Trade forums in the morning about giving people too much information.

If you’re not sure, or wish to save me earache, check repairs@ or Directories for a UKW engineer in your area.
