Good to see im not the only one struggling to open it i thought i was doing it wrong

[@jaicosme123]

Great, you show at the beginning how stuck in real life it can get. If I do that besides my wife and it gets a little difficult, she starts screaming that I am doing it wrong. You haven't messed up yet and the crying starts from the get go

[@bootsowen]

You married her!

[@igorsmoa7037]

Man, you saved my washing machine's live. Literally, I was about to lose it

[@angharadmountford7656]

I physically could not undo the filter just with my fingers - I had to use the grip end of some diagonal cutters as prongs to untwist it, worked a charm! Cheers dude.

[@JanKlasen]

I had the same problem with basicly the same machine, it just stopped and all the lights begin to switch on and off. Couldn't open it by hand but with a tools (and a blanket so it wouldnt be damaged) i managed to open it and same rubbish came out. Dont forget to tide the plug very fast otherwise water will coming out always. Thanks for the movie upload! Saved me a lot of money and time.

Thank you second time I found a hair band on the spinner. Hopefully working now

[@ashleighjackson1610]

Seriously cannot express how much this video saved me. Thank you so much!

[@monicakelly9622]

Thank you!! Saved me a visit from technician!

[@williamwalsh2904]

Good man yourself! fair play to you! Great instructions! (from Willy Welsh, Oughterard)

[@MrSteveBiggs]

Cheers! I started off with a mole grip but that didn’t work. In the end flicking it quickly left and right by hand eventually dislodged the 2p and 5p that were stuck in there and I was able to fully open it by hand.

[@doraloveification]

Same here, the quick flicking did the trick, thanks

I remember the rollers on top of washing machines IN 60s. RELIABLE Simple.
2 FLASHING now LIGHTS AND IT Shut Down.

[@bootsowen]

I have one with the rollers in the cellar. An old Hotpoint empress. Far from automatic

[@clairewain5054]

I'm literally flooded out!! Any idea how to do this without drowning?? 😮

[@rayne182]

thanks for the video, so helpful! the instructions for indesit were very unclear in how to open the front panel and this helped a ton. i'm already scared what I'll find in there.. wish me luck!

[@enricopalazzo8474]

Hair clips,bobbles and 5p pieces are a washing machines bane

thank millions times I love this video

[@viridianamorales3472]

Thank you! I really need this video!!!!

[@domopitz]

Thanks for your help 😃😉 Well done, got it 🎉

[@JanKlasen]

Ps. If it is sand that is in your machiene, do a lightweigth clean wash in your machiene and if it happens again that the machiene stops and lights went on and off.. remove the plug with high speed and let the water filled with sand out as fast as you can, efen it this means a waterballet. Do this as much as needed.

[@timip3658]

How often should you do this ? I only recently realised that I should do this , the smell is quite unique 😅

[@bootsowen]

Up to you, how dirty are you? weekly, monthly? never? all will be ok, the pump will stop working when it is blocked!

[@timip3658]

@@bootsowen I'm not really dirty at all but I don't know why it fills with water. I'm a chef so some of my clothes are greasy or has flower on them ☺️

[@drownedtears]

for once i wished i had the strength of a man. its taking me hours and i still didnt manage to get it open unfortunately :( thank you so much for the video, i really thought i was doing something wrong.

[@benverburg]

i hate this machine, it ruined my best clothing. The clothing comes out more dirty/dusty or with white stripes

[@sofeanoh]

Thanks! You just saved me from headaches. I almost fed up opening the front panel but your video helped me a lot!

[@pazi111]

Thanks a lot.

[@carolgrimsdale4978]

[@danandlaundry]

Same story with me only I got coins not hairclips but yes it was difficult for me to undo the filter

[@rebostorm19]

Cheers top lad

[@andrepienaar]

Super useful, Thanks!

[@johnlenon5052]

I just can't open it with my hands. What would you recommend?

[@bootsowen]

Have a look at my filters playlist. And my "how to fix a stuck drain filter" video.

[@bellefemme6677]

Very helpful thx

[@o-n-i-ka-g-eps5305]

Thanksssss

[@ss_artist]

Salve ho appena pulito il filtro ed era sporco di residui di detersivo , la mia lavatrice è da 4 lavaggi che non lava più bene i panni e non fa la schiuma anche se metto tanto sapone ,i panni puzzano ,la lavatrice invece assolutamente non puzza , faccio sempre cicli brevi a basse temperature,uso sempre i prodotti per l'anticalcare , come mai fa così? Io oggi ho pulito il filtro spero di aver risolto,ma nel caso cosa faccio ?

[@bootsowen]

Do some very hot washes regularly.

[@Toma2843]

thanks this was my exact issue, I ended up using pliers to work it until it came loose.

[@bootsowen]

Excellent

[@saadia4009]

i wish there was an easier way to drain this, the water always goes off the towel

[@bootsowen]

you could use more towels?

[@safari8soldier]

oh yes, a screwriver!

[@keithsoutham9571]

2flashing lights on washer wont do nothing. tried everything from unplugging the control panel inside. can anyone help

[@bootsowen]

It usually depends what lights are flashing and the manufacturer. Usually error codes are published somewhere online. Could be blocked pump especially if it stopped full of water. Se what lights are flashing and how many flashes. Then google that error code

use two wooden spoons as a grip or anything chunky that will fit, I have shown how in other videos!
