i have just put it onto drain and its doing nothing but humming qietly
Ok there may be something stuch inside the pump not allowing the impeller to turn.You will have to remove the hoses and check inside the pump.If this has been helpfull please press accept. This is how I get paid for helping you today.Thank you.
can you tell me how to do that please
Just remove the clamps that hold the hoses. You should have to squeeze the clamps and slide them back.If this has been helpfull please press accept. This is how I get paid for helping you today.Thank you.
am i right in thinking that i need to tip machine back and work underneath it? pump is at front?
You said you have the lower panel off so you can see the pump ?
i have taken the plastic panel off but not the metal panel. i have unscrewed 3 screws but the are two smaller ones by filter do i need to take filter out and try and unscrew 2 smaller ones
Ok just remove the filter inside where the filter is there is a hole that goes to the impeller. Stick your finger in it and try to turn the impeller.
yep got that moving
Ok see if the machine will drain.If this has been helpfull please press accept. This is how I get paid for helping you today.Thank you.
just put it on a quick wash to see and the clean pump light has come back on. arghhhh
So it wont drain ?
noope
Can you here the pump trying to work ?
honestly i dont know
i have poured all water outta machine thru pump, pulled out some bits that were about it, moved the fan thing ,
Leave the filter out and put it in drain does the pump make any sounds ?
pump fan thing has started moving again
Ok from what you have said the pump motor is faulty. So the pump needs to be replaced.If this has been helpfull please press accept. This is how I get paid for helping you today.Thank you.
