This is all very helpful. Now, the machine is currently empty - I've done the
'draining through the front' theatre. Conveniently I live on the 2nd floor. So
given that the machine's empty, can I try some other method?

Then the machine is NOT empty. Knowing this will help you avoid
flooding.

The basic method to disgnosis is divide and conquer. Each time you can
narrow the fault down to anything less than all possible items, youre
eliminating some possibles from the list of suspects. Eventually you
end up with just one thing on the list.

The water path is as follows:
drum
short fat wiggly rubber hose in bottom of machine
pump - clogged, broken, or burnt out
machine drain pipe
U bend on wall
drain pipe attached to wall.
You may also have a filter and a second rubber tube.
