"Tried the rinse and spin thing, (dead techical i know) and no power cut and not fuse. "
How old is your washing machine? Is it still under guarantee?
Also try googling what could be wrong with it and it may come up with a way to sort it |

You should be able to empty it with the emergency drain at the bottom of machine. Dont know how to open it tho unless it has an emergency open catch in the same place |

If its only six months old ring them up to come and sort it out. It should at least have 12 months guarantee with it |

I had hotpoint here this morning as mine died last week, He had to replace both the cards as mid cycle they just stopped communicating with each other 
I left it switched off at the mains over the weekend and out of curioisty switched it back on and it worked 
For all of 5 minutes  but its fixed now and has some catching up to do.
have you checked that the overflow can flow away or has all this rain slowed up the sewers? Might be a daft suggestion but I checked the water in, hose out etc before I bashed it the first time  |

maybe it is blocked, I had that a little while ago and I had to clear the filters. I had left a few plastic empty dog poo bags in a pocket and they had worked there way thro and were blocking.
I was able to take the cover off, unscrew the thingymajiggy, pull out the bags and hey ho.....
it was like I had climbed Everest, I was so chuffed.
my lily white, supersoft never done a hard days graft in his life hands had risen to the challenge

"I'm with the 'unblocking filters' suggestions it really could be that simple "
.... ditto, mine was the same and found that the pump had a blockage, I sorted it out and saved myself a fortune. xx |

look for any kinks in the cold water pipe running of the back of the washing machine.
next check were that pipe connects to (sometimes it is directly under the sink).
if it is connected directly under the sink you may have a little lever,turn this so the water is stopped.
get a bowl and place it under the pipe.
loosen pipe and let water run into the bowl.
check for any blockage.
reconnect pipe and turn water supply back on.
where is the filter on your washing machine?
usually they are at the front in the lower right hand corner behind a panel.
open it and look.
you should see a knob which needs to be turned fully and they pulled out.
this can be hard to do so you may need help.
once out a lot of water could spill out so make sure you have plenty of rags or towels under the front of the machine.
reach in the filter compartment and check for fur and bits which may have come off the clothes.
clean the filter unter tap water.
replace filter but amke sure you have it back in correctly or water will flood out.
once you have checked the basics and you still have the problem it could be the sensor on the circuit board or the unit on the inside which the cold pipe connects to.
you need someone with a multi-meter to check the connections as the machine goes through the program.
get in touch if anything else happens or your not sure. |

here should be an on off tap where the pipe connects to pipes. After turning the mains OFF urn these off. Then check the outlet pipe - where it goes into your u bend (not YOURS LOL) there is sometimes a small fillter there. If his slightly blocked - clean it. hen try a spin cycle. If this does not work, you have a large fillter at the front at the bottom. Be perpaired for a lot of water. Get a load of towels ready and open the fillter plug. Make sure that this is empty.If both fillters are clear then its a safe bet that its you bushes.Simple job if you know what you doing.If you atempt the bushes check the water pump at the same time. Hope this helps. Feel free to mail me if you are still having problems. GOOD LUCK!!! |
