Just come home from work to find the kitchen and dining room flooded. Washing machine has thrown a wobbly. In trying to fix it I have just sprayed water everywhere lol and now soaking.
Oh well the plumber will have a good weekend with what he will be charging to fix it  |

Turn off the taps that supply the machine directly, empty it and run the spin cycle. Sometimes works. |

Turned the cut off valve but in doing so also broke it! Have managed to empty the machine and washing now in a damp pile in the bath waiting to be redone. |

Many parts in a washer aren't hard to sort. Pumps, motors and hoses are easier to sort than changing a car tyre. Do the electrics still work on it? |

Think I have managed to find the fault (should read the instructions more often - but then again which male will admit to reading instructions).
The pump at the bottom of the machine was blocked - all I had to do was take it out and clean it. Still have a broken cut off valve though. Will swap it for the one on the dishwasher for now until I can get a replacement.
Oh well I live and learn. |
