zanussi thingy, had it for about 5 years, it's now fucked after the mrs has decided to put the bath mats in to give them a cleaning, there's loads of bits of rubber floating about inside, it don't drain, we drained in manually and now the motor sits there buzzing but no doing anything, and it still won't drain even though we've tried to put it on the drain cycle

so, how do we fix it?

and if it's not fixable, how much is a sensibly priced washing machine nowadays?

don't want to go with the all singing all dancing dyson thing as we've got one at the other house and, at £500, it wernt fucking cheap

the drain motors are about £25 of there web site when i got one a few years ago Thers also a trap at the bottom of the drum that can block on the rubber hose. 20min job to clean out.

we had the same problem with awers i just got a new pump motor off ebay £12 to the door job done as most of them are the same now

so there is a drain motor and a normal motor yes?

we've drained it off but the drain was full of this yellow rubbery shite and i'm loath to spend money trying to fix it if it's beyond fixing, but a £25 punt ain't the end of the world, she'll just have to pay for it

ok, more disasters narrowly averted when i figure out how to take it apart

This is the pump you will need to sort it as long as it is the pump

have you looked at the filter ? normally 1 before the pump

Not opened it up yet but it seems to work fine and then it stops when it needs to drain so that side of things will be looked at in the morning.

With 2 kids generating a mountain of washing everyday I don't think the mrs will be washing any more bath mats : cry:

mine had a error code come up when it did that defo was the filter and pump

We washed a furry rug once and the filter was blocked; un-blocked it and it was fine.

well, i won't bore you with the pics of what came out, but the whole machine was cloged up with this rubbery shit

so an hours worth of cleaning and it seems to be working fine now, with no new added bits, so fingers crossed

thanks for the info peeps, it came in pretty handy
