Who's a washer/dryer pro?

[Cas_P]

I've had loads of problems with this but now it won't drain at all, it starts to do a dry cycle but as soon as it gets some water in the drum it just stops and the setting dial clicks around.

I have taken the filter out drained it and pulled out any debris in it but the problem is still there!

Nightmare! Anyone have any ideas? People have been called out so many times because of problems with this awful machine and the call out fee each time is £80 alone!

edit: now the filter does not want to screw out after I put it back in last night!

Have you checked the U bend under the sink that it plumbs into? Had the same problem as the restriction was external to the machine.

Yep, same issue, pull out the waste hose and clear out the U bend
mucky job but may help.

+1 this is the most likely thing if you can still here the pump at the start of the cycle. Have a big bowl handy to put any debris and remaining water in!

No sure about the " Washer - Dryer Pro "

However when I put all the items for cleaning in the basket
The machine does the whole lot and dries them too
and by chance they end up all folded up nice and neat in their respective
storage places...

The magical cleaning fairy me thinks

Infact ANY white goods




Although I have been known to take a Beer from the fridge when no one is looking

Hi Cas
I'm in south Reading & have fixed a few washing machines in my time so could pop round & have a look if you like,, the U bend advice is good, also check the drain pipe outside into the drain if thats the set up, as they can block up as well.

That would be amazing if you could, much much appreciated!! If I tried to do these things I'd end up flooding the kitchen!
