Help - my washing machine is full of water!

[NASWM]

Do I keep pushng the drain button until it is empty? or spinning it? or what?! It was only tumble drying a towel and there shouldn't have been any water in there at all...

The drain pipe might be blocked/kinked or the pump could have failed. Can you pull it out? - put the drain pipe into a bowl on the floor and it should drain through gravity.

How's your ds? Doing OK I hope

thanks saggar. It seems to be working fine just had loads of water in it.. It all went went I drained it, and have removed the fluff filter (which was clear...) although there was water in it. I have spun the towel at top speed and now taken that out and put on a radiator as there is tons of washing to do... Maybe I'm silly for risking a wash cycle but I'm sure you know how it is!

Thanks for remembering my DS. That means a lot to me. He is okay. Had a bit of a relapse on Friday/Saturday but seems better this morning. I guess it is going to be like that up and down. He's alseep at the mo - so is DH - so I am playing with DS1 and his Playmobile speedboat, whilst trying to sort the WM out! How's things with you??

Glad he's doing OK. We're fine here - dd has had a bout of tonsilitis but is much better. She went into town with her friends yesterday for the first time - cue paranoid mum. She didn't stick it out for long as her leg gets sore after even just a short amount of walking bit at least she had a go. She's now firmly attached to the sofa having a restful day as she puts it.

Don't turn your back on that washer - you don't want to be playing speedboats on the kitchen floor lol

Good news about your DD (going out, not the tonsils!)

I did think it ironic that DS1 had his speedboat out when I opening the cupboard and saw all that water! (Seesm to be washing ok on the next cyle. watch this space...) going to take DS2 out today for the first time since his op. Feel a bit nervouos but got to do it someday and last night he showed signs of being bored for the first time.
