How do you remove the metal clip that around the black hose on the hotpoint wm63 washing machine? The metal clip is very hard. My machine wont drain out so i think i might need to clean the filter. I've taken off the back of the machine and found 2 pipes, including the black pipe but it's secured with a round metal clip. Please help me

Your machine has detected a problem with draining. The place to check is the filter located at rear of machine.To access it remove plate at bottom rear of machine & you will see a black pipe hanging vertically from the drum secured by a spring clip.The filter is in this pipe. If this is clear take off other end & check pump is not obstructed.Be aware that there will be water in these pipes so may be wise to take machine outside.Let me know if problem persists.

You are correct as to the location of the filter.
Remove rear panel, locate large black hose at right lower side.
Remove securing clip and hose, inside you will see the plastic filter, remove and clean filter, note location of plastic ball.
Refit filter and hose, and securely fasten hose back on.
When you remove hose, watch out for water, as there will be some in the hose.

water test before fitting panel back on.
Plz rate my solution
Thanks.

SOURCE: need to remove drainage pipe, can't remove white plastic clip, is there a knack?

Remove power first! The pump is very easy to remove, ( unlocks from the base ) take the pump apart and check for foreign objects inside the pump assy. The power wires pull off and matters not which way they go back on. Also check the hoses to and from the drain pump for any  foreign objects. The pump is usually at the back right side ( looking at the washer from the front ).

Hello

I used to get this when i lived with my mum & dad and i can honestly say that it was the water pressure with this machine only a small drop in pressure makes the H20 error code appear you can always add additional water when it comes on so that the cycle can continue. You could find out from your water board if the drop in pressure is a leak in your area?

I hope this helps i had to persist with this problem for 18 months untill a leak around the corner was eventually found and fixed.
