hi i have a candy GD1482. using it on a quick wash it has stopped…

Hiya,

thanks for that.

3 flashes does indeed indicate a draining failure.

.

Open the cover at the bottom front of the machine.

There is a screw cap there, normally held by a single screw.

Take the screw out.

.

It's a lot of work but it should cure the problem.

.

Check the drain hose where it connects to the house drains.

If onto a connection, take the hose off and check both for a blockage.

If blocked, clear the blockage, refit the hose and try the machine again.

.

If ok, you'll need to manually remove the remaining water from the machine.

.

Put a shallow dish in front of the filter/pump cover. (Bottom front of the machine)

.

Slacken the cap a little to drain the water.

Tighten the cap to stop the water when you need to empty the container.

(If you pull the machine out and tilt it rearward, you can get a larger container in place for a while).

Once the machine is empty of water, take the cap off.

Clean out any debris in there.

Once cleaned out, take the laundry out of the machine.

With the cap off, put the machine on spin only.

Listen at the open filter to see if the pump is running.

(You should see the pump impellor rotating)

If the pump isn't running, let me know.

If the pump is running, refit the cap and try the machine again

.

Reassemble and try the machine again.

.

Check it out, see what you find and get back to me if you need more help.

.

Obviously, if you cannot do the work yourself, you'll need to get someone in to do it for you.

.

Hope this helps

thanks
