The only thing that has changed from when it was working to now it isn’t is there no longer 4 shirt collar stiffners or fluff in the filter, how has this stopped it from draining!!!

the gold standard

What make is your machine?

hotpoint, but I warn you I now no longer trust strange men on the internet (bcos of u)

Did you correctly re attach the pump?

What do you mean, I never took the pump off?!?! At least I didn’t think I did.

could you have knocked the power connection to it? I don’t know where each are in relation to each other on your machine but iirc when I replaced a busted pump on ours (a bobby pin had got in there and pierced a hole right through the half inch thick plastic!) they weren’t that far apart and the blade style power connectors can be prone to slipping off in some cases.

In any case I think you’ve got a fairly good case against @anon29812515

After doing a bit of youtube watching I think something maybe getting stuck in the drainage pump as it is making a grinding sound and some water seems to drain so I will check it out when I get home tonight!

Best of luck. However if you ask any further questions my automatic billing will come into play and you will be charged.

You bill me?

All correspondence to the ponds please.

Sorry that your relationship with your gf appears to have reached its natural end.

it’s good that it’s not leaking and you might not have to replace the pump! I really enjoyed doing diy washing machine maintenance though :slight_smile:

natural? I have been bamboozled by balonz!
She was annoyed that I decided to clean the filter late on a Sunday evening, I said a man on the internet told me to do it, then it broke and she was even more annoyed!

It’s probably been in the post for a while now. Try and remember the good times.

a little up date for you all, I have temporally fixed my washing machine it seems to work if the exit pipe is in the sink. I am in the market for a new one if anyone has any recommendations?

I graciously accept your apology.
