Help!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's wrong with my washing machine?

[lunavix]

And bearing in mind it's ancient and I have no money, how do I go about fixing it?

I opened it, and everything was proper proper sodden, and sitting in a big puddle of water.

So tried twice more, still the same.

I now have three piles of heavy sodden washing

Clues?

Drain pipe clogged?
Filter thingy at front clogged?
Fucked?

No no no 'fucked' is not an option!

Where does one find a drain pipe and filter thingy? Bear in mind one is a useless flappy female sort

I don't know!
You find theeself one of those "bloke" things and they will know!

lol at Goober's option 3

sounds dead to me

mine died 2 week ago...

i have enough washing to be done, to open a launderette all for myself...

twoluvlykids.... noooooooooooo.... I'll have to come to your laundrette.

This is the second machine that has died on me since I moved in this house 9 months ago, and I literally don't have a penny for a new one. Fuck

Ahem! I am renting an ex rental for under £13 per month...

And nothing wrong with it, either.

Bosch, from a company called Forbes Rental.

Google them. Next day delivery, same day call out and repair.

17 month rental term, so cheaper than buying.

try this site lots of info

take washing out and stick it in a bucket

on the front of the machine, there is probably a panel that you can pull off, maybe at the bottom

you are looking for a cap that you can unscrew. mine needs a screwdriver to take a little screw out and then twist it

Get as many towells as you possible can, this is very very important!!

Place a number of towells on the floor and leave others easy to grab

open the filter.... all the water trapped in the machine will pour out of hole...use the towells

Check the cap part for crap! and stick fingers in hole in case anything else is bunging it. put cap back on and screw tightly

I have to do this regularly, usually fixes the problem

twoluvlykids - how do you rent an ex-rental?

Problem is, the washing machine belongs to my rental house. When the first one died (I have strong suspicions it didn't work properly when I moved in but have no proof) I washed clothes in the bath until I was offered one on freecycle. By some miracle it was almost identical to the one that belonged to the house. However guy who took old one completely f'd my doorstep removing it

So if I get one for 17 month term, I'll have to leave it here.. and the other complication is I'm planning on moving in the next two - six months...

if it belongs to the house then phone the landlord

There's a clause in the contract saying repairing or replacing is my problem

hmm I'd question whether that's unreasonable esp if the original was ancient

This happened to me - the pump couldn't work as there was a small bit of playmobil wedging the blade that turned it. On ours there's a little door at the bottom that you can open to see this fan type thing and with pliers we managed to pull it out and it worked again. Hope that helps. If not maybe you should look at freecycle someone maybe getting rid of one...?
