£90 !!! ???
Crikes!
It was well worth the back ache and bruised knees after all then!
And I got to clean the floor thoroughly at the same time!

Really good news!
I managed to fix it! And all with my own fair hands!
It turned out to be something so simple in the end…
I checked the pump impeller at the front as suggested and this was turning freely. So the pump was not jamned.
I then checked the drain hose to see if that was blocked. We do have a dog after all, and it was her dirty towels that I had just washed! So the thought of a big tangle of hairs crossed my mind. No visible blockages were found, so I then tried blowing down the pipe to test if it was blocked. No problems there either!
So then I was convinced that it must be a loose connection or a faulty pump, so decided to be brave and have a look myself.
After double checking that the machine was unplugged, I undid the six screws that hold the rear inspection cover in place. Once the cover was removed, I had a clear view of the pump and two red wires leading to it. I reached inside to see if they were loose, and …
“HEY PRESTO!”
As I gently pushed, the connector slid and simply clicked back into position.
My washing machine is now back up and running!
😆
I wonder how much money I have just saved myself?
