Why the hell is my washing machine full of foam and my nappies are sopping wet as if the bloody machine hasn;'t spun?

I'm convince it is the bloody Fairy Non Bio Gel shit. It doesn't do it in any other kind of wash just my nappies!!!!

Try running the machine again without the washing liquid and a little vinegar this should rinse it out. Are you only using 1/3 of the dose of washing liquid? I was always told never to use a full does of washing powder/liquid with nappies. It may just be build up of soap in the nappies. so Loads of rinseing may be needed.

Does that make any sense??? I rarely make sense these days!

Yes that does thank you!

Just doing the whole cycle again sans washing liquid!

Does all the foam stop the machine spinning?

If your washing machine has a clogged filter it wont drain away and then it cant spin.

Too much soap powder, mine did it with my real nappies, I now only use one fairy tablet, works a treat!

Well I normally use soap nuts, but I got a free bottle of the fairy gel to use as part of a product trial.
