I am not sure what that fault code means but you should be able to find the codes on the Internet. I would suspect that the problem is a jammed or blocked or faulty drain pump. As has been sugested drain by gravity by lowering the hose into a bowl to the floor, -----REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE SOCKET. ---- Inspect the pump, see if it is blocked or jammed, the hoses come off quite easily. Clear any rubbish out and see if the pump will then run by selecting pump and spin cycle when plugged in. It is a good idea to take the thin pressure switch hose off at the switch end and make sure that it is clear through to the bottom by blowing down it. Make sure the machine is unplugged first. Gently blow the switch too, you must get 2 clicks , first one with a gentle blow, and another with a slight increace in pressure.. Refit all hoses securely. Hope that will solve your problem.. Sam.

The motor is situated rear centre of the machine. It's best to remove it, either tip it back, ensuring it's stable and supported or remove back panel for access. Brushes are located on either side of the motor.

my lights are all flashing on my control panel, its takes water in then pumps out straighaway doesnt wash or spin i have changed the brushes so i know it isnt that please help it only about 3 years old

hi check your motor brushes are good

hi is the belt on if so 1st thing to check are the motor brushes good chance thats the proplem

hi take top off push left side drum down then right if one side easyi than outher more than likly the easy side has weak leg from drum to chassis

is it dirty water possible it is from the sink when you do your cleaning the pipe needs to be lifted higher

The error indicates a problem with the incoming water supply.
Check for restricted or kinked inlet hose/s, check that tap/s are fully turned on and that you have adequate water pressure.

its quite easy on this machine,you can view a video on Espares.co.uk or remove front panel ,seven screws 4 top 3 bottom unclip wire on seal at front seal has two large clips to secure one outer and one inner, I find it best once the front panel is loose to unscrew the door interlock to fully remove cover once this is done you can see the workings and the exposed seal good luck.

Sounds silly but its usually carbon brushes in motor worn out!

You may have a clock in the hose. If the rinse cycle doesn't work it could be a board problem. Try unplugging the machine first to reset the board. Also try to see if the end of the drain hose has anything in it that is blocking the water.

its located within the sump hose ,located bottom of drum and connected to pump, its a black hose with white clips.Plastic filter is in here..

Try blowing hard up the drain hose, don\'t ingest any bugs. Use a wet & dry vac to suck and blow the hose.

If it tries occasionally to fill on rinse for a short time and pumps out/drains if the hose is flat on the floor but the programming seems off, its the motor carbon brushes worn down.To prove it if you have no spares, remove the brush holders and gently stretch the carbons out of the holders a little bit so that they touch the commutator in the motor when refitted. The copper pigtail will usualy give about 2mm stretch if you are careful.It will maybe work for a few days whilst you get new brushes.

Disconnect the machine. If you can get hold of a wire and put it in between the drum and the cover. If that does not work get out the manual, and look for how to open the drum. If the manual does not help you, try screwing the back off and lift the drum and put a wire in between the drum and the cove. I hope you can loosen what seems to be stuck. Kolbrun
