hi -
thanks for info very useful.

Machine does not drain, no. it just stops, with water inside. Then one opens
the door thinking the machine has finished with hilarious slapstick-type
consequences as water spews on to floor.
By then running it on "spin" it's usually possible to get
it to do just that, after 4 or 5 goes. The water does then drain away, which
negates the blocked pipe idea (I'd pondered that one too).

Re pump replacement., I sure don't want to be paying thru the nose if I can
do it myself. Looks like a Sunday afternoon job.


It sounds very much like the controller. Pump motor and spin motor are
2 different things, its pretty unlikely they would both fault together
all the time.

Controllers can be replaced if you dont mind making careful notes of
where the 80 or so wires go. DIYable yes, not the smallest of DIY
jobs, not the biggest either.

Learn about safety first if necessary, it is possible to get bitten by
an unplugged machine.
