Thanks Dave.

I have just tried uploading a video but you cannot upload .mp4 to this thread, do you know whether there is a different video format which could be uploaded or a way in which I could publish this video so you can hear the fault?

I suppose I will have to try and remove the waste pipe after the pump from the machine and run a cycle so I can see if there’s pressure build up – or not. Thanks, I will try this tomorrow.

I have to admit to being a little confused regarding the testing of the drainage motors as there seems to be some conflicting information. The test video on this site suggests if the motor is in open circuit on a continuity test then the motor is faulty, however on eSpares it suggests that if a motor has between 160 -260 Ohms it’s fine? my motors are both, a pure continuity test it’s an open circuit, on a resistance test it’s 206 Ohms?

Again a big thanks for your help!!!

Thanks Dave, really appreciate for your response!

Apologies, I’ve just amended the original thread, the fault is E36 – 10 not E32, not sure if that makes a difference?

I was thinking it’s not very likely for both pumps to be faulty, I was thinking potentially a controller

I will try this, I’m happy to give anything a go! I have previously tested with the outlet pipe removed from the main drain pipe (it’s not connected to a sink waste it has its own waste connection which is testing fine) nothing is actually making it’s way out of the machine. All of the water remains in the drum and again it drains freely when manually emptying so I am assuming that if a blockage is present it must be after the pump?

I hadn’t considered the coin theory but it makes sense, not sure how to find/remove on such a lengthy pipe. Also, would this explain the noise?
