TaxiDriver Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Our washing machine has died, It's stopped pumping the water out, it was a couple of years old when we inherited it from the deceased outlaws, and about 6 or 8 years in our possession so probably not worth repairing :no: Anyways, I've said I'll have a look and see what's on offer in Currys, My Missus, not to be outdone announced that's she's going to try AOL.COM I just can't wait to see how that. Conversation goes 😃😃😃😃😃 Edited November 25, 2015 by TaxiDriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaxiDriver Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks for that Felly. I am intending to put the machine out on the drive and have a look at the pump/hose outlet and see if anything can be 'cleared out' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Worth bearing in mind that tomorrow there is a very decent chance you could get a really good deal on a new washing machine with the one day sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyh Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 AOL.com Top company to deal with, use them a lot since Amazon now charge postage. And super fast delivery to within 2 hours, even the driver texts you when he's close. However, I'll bet your old unit is an easy fix!

TaxiDriver Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Do you think you misses has kyboshed it because of black Friday :-) Well, as she thought she was gonna get one from AOL.com (not AO.Com)..... I don't think she's bright enough to have thought of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, thanks for the input I think you might have misread my OP, It was a couple of years old when we inherited it from the wife's deceased parents, and we've had it for 6 maybe 8 years.

fortune Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Bra wires play havoc with outlet pumps Had this one twice. How the hell does a length of wire like that get out of the drum through one of those holes in the drum and then finds its way into the pump. Other things included a tea spoon. it was an easy job just to take the rubber pipe off of the pump and outlet. If it is a simple obstruction it will be in the pipe from the outer drum housing to the pump impeller. The pump hasn't got a load of power because it doesn't need it and it is easily stopped by something. If you get on it first thing and it is something beyond a blockage then you got all day to source another.

Neil Fair enough but I would still check the pump and hose before I bought a new one. Very easily blocked and as easily cleared. Mine is 7 year old and has been blocked twice and cleared, hopefully will get a couple more years out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinach Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Check the filter thing for the pump it's amazing what gets stuck down there 5p an real common problem. Don't do it if you can't mop up a few litres. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodp Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Empty .22 and .17hmr cases don't do them any good either, you'd think the manufacturer would cater for that wouldn't you ?? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
