My washing machine won't empty , it's not blocked .

it will do a wash & then when I open the door the water hasnt emptied so it goes everywhere , once the water has emptied it will spin so the washing isn't sopping wet .

Anyone have a clue what it could be?

the pump? Have you cleaned the filter out?

Clean filter?

My machine was like this a couple of months ago. It appeared to be the pump. Dh was going to order a new one off ebay and do it himself but the machine was old so instead of throwing money at it, we decided to buy a new one.

If you have cleaned the pump and its still not doing it, maybe the drain pipe is kinked?

Or unhook it from underneath the sink take off the part that connects it all under the sink and clean it out. I had straws and allsorts stuck in mine with the gunk.

It sounds like the pump but I would check the filter first. If you tip it up you might find that there's something that is blocked in the pipe that connects to the filter (as I learnt to the cost of a call out charge for a sock that was blocking it...) If the filter and that pipe is clear then I would say look at the pump.

Dp unhooked it all and gave it a good clean out and it seems to have done the job

Dp has never managed to fix anything before Shock Grin
