    Thank you very much for this video, for years we have been having issues, never really knowing what the issue was, as soon as i took it apart the amount of junk stuck inside was shocking! Saved us a expensive call out or new washing machine. Every needs to see this video! Thank you again!

    Thank you, we have this exact washing machine. Was making a loud noise when draining. Us two inexperienced people managed to carry this out on our own and avoid engineer during covid. You definitely need pliers to open the metal rings. Found bunch of coins and hair clips in the sump pipe. Thanks again, very clear and we’re very grateful :)

    Mate-you’re a legend! Not only have you just saved me £200 on a new washing machine, more importantly you have also go me out of the doghouse with the wife! I decided it would be a good idea to wash the mats from my car forgetting that half of them are rubberised! You guessed it! A pump and drain hose clogged chocca with rubber particles! Oops! Anyway, the how to video worked a treat and domestic harmony has been restored! Cheers mucca!

    Fantastic video! I had the same problem, the water could not drained out of the wash machine. When I took out the coins (30 euros!!), I tested a "Rinse" program and it was ok (before, it stopped all the time). But when I tested a normal program, it collapsed again, and the "flashing lights" appeared. Do u know what is going on?

    Thanks so much for taking the. time to make and publish this video. It will surely save lots of people time ( and stress trying to find someone to come out ) all the while having no access to get a wash done. That was a stress in our household this week. A small thankyou also sent via your "Buy Me A Coffee" link in your bio for this video. I suspect I am not allowed to paste the link for that in my comment but I wanted to draw people's attention to that option.

      You can lie it down. Try and lie it in a position where the pump is higher than the drum so if there is any water in there it wont come gushing out when you open it up.

      ​@@handymancraftglasgowHi buddy, I have taken it all apart, however somewhere between the piece that houses the hoses, and behind the blades is retaining water.. I worked out how to remove the cover that exposes the motor's coil, but I cannot separate the two parts... The liquid trapped behind the coil pack appears to be magnetic, but really don't think it should be there. Further troubling fact is both of the hoses are pretty clean. Having tried all you suggested, I strongly suspect hair or sludge is jamming the motor's spindle, but that is my best guess. Before I start sourcing another any suggestions 🙏👍

    Great walkthru video had been good to jog my memory of how to get the impeller unit off the front (did this on a previous washer couldn’t remember quite how)
    The main black drain hose - doesn’t it have a jubilee/similar at the top where the drum drains so you can easily remove that whole hose?
    I’m about to tackle my latest washer as it keeps telling me to clean the filter and stuff comes out soaking although the filter is clear. Suspect a rogue sock 😂

    Found very little in either pipe, but dismantling the whole unit down and reassembling it seems to have worked the oracle, however maybe I originally overlooked the obvious and shut down the water supply prior to the spin drain cycle, as I thought it logical, as why do you need water for a drain cycle. Anyway now all working perfectly, but not sure if my model should have filter mesh, as it does not. 👍👍

    I have a feeling this is what I need to do to my candy grand vita O.
    Mine washes fine, drains fine, but then randomly stops when about to rinse or spin giving an E03 error. It’s been baffling me. I’ve even balanced the legs properly but it hasn’t helped. It’s like my machine just doesn’t want to spin.
    My filter is spotless, I’ve cleaned out my pipes under the sink (which were disgusting) but my drain snake brush isn’t long enough to reach entirely the length of the pump hose, so I fear that part is rather built up. And as for the connection TO the drum….I’m not strong enough to push the machine up and have VERY limited space in my kitchen to do it.
    It’s so temperamental. A majority of the time when it DOES complete it leaves clothes so full of water still or even weirdly adds water back to them at the end!
    I’m close to just getting a new machine cos it’s driving me crazy.
