Big thanks from my wife. And I assure you that means something …..

Here in rural France, where the camembert roams free, we don’t get to see white goods professionals very often, thus I was dragged from slumber and thrust into action and your advice was SPOT ON.

This is an IDL500, now 8 years old. The symptoms were when fault first appeared 2 green lights counting from the left, no flashing, hard on. After a reset single green light leftmost illuminates and gentle hum from within and then nothing, except green light.

I removed grey drain pipe and then the drain pump from the sump, and there.. within the impeller was ….. 1cm or 1/2 and inch of walnut shell, insertion of digit and robust shove removed said and impeller moved freely.

Not entirely sure that the ‘spring clip’ on the pipe has reseated nicely, I may have to put a proper jubilee clip on it, but all is well now.

Brilliant, thanks forum, the collective rules !
