Thanks for taking the time to respond. I rotated the impeller mechanically a couple of times. It did seem a bit stiff. I then set the machine to Drain and observed the impeller spinning.

I then gave it a liberal spray of silicone lubricant so hopefully some will have got onto the shaft.

Machine now working.

The missus ain’t best pleased. She is the proverbial ‘doom-monger’ and wanted a new machine.:p

Again.

Thanks.

Thanks for your help. That was what I was fearing.

By initial fill, I mean when the soap powder is taken down into the drum. It is as though the fill channel/tube is obstructed/constricted by a build up of sediment of some sort.

I’ve tried the ‘curtain wire down the pipe’ trick but that is not bringing up anything apparent.

We have had the machine for about 10 – 15 years and has not been a problem until about 6 months ago. Nothing in the fitment or usage has changed.

Thanks both.
