Re: aeg oko-lavamat 72620 pumping problem

That’s good advice but luckily I didn’t see it until I’d got my toolbox and dragged the machine out – at which point the reason became obvious!

This machine hasn’t been moved this century but the drain pipe was collapsed half way along! This is a plastic pipe with a spiral metal wire to strengthen it, it looks as though someone had bent it double and then straightened it leaving it flat at the point of bending.

How on earth can that happen in a tightly constricted space with no room for the pipe to move and without the machine being moved? Is there a good advice site for goblin infestation problems?

Anyway, £6.95 for a new one and all is hunky dory!

Thanks everyone.

Hey- that’s fast! Thanks.

>We can’t give you a ‘blow-by-blow’ describtion

OK, fair enough. I’ll just get stuck in anyway! Can you say if there are any special things to watch for? Mistakes that idiots frequently make? (That’s me…)

>If your sure that the pump is working, then it probably is a blockage!
>It might even be blocked before the pump!

That seems more likely – can I poke a flexible wire up from the pump end or am I likely to break something?

>Hope this helps otherwise call an engineer.

Last resort!

>And if your doing it yourself, unplug the machine first!

Most definitely!

Thanks
