Washing Machine won't drain - spins slowly!
The mark is CANDY. -/+ 7 years old. front load...
Symptoms are: won't drain - spins slowly...
I emptied the filter trap - only a few bits & bobs. Removed them. But i still have the issue...
Sump hose i felt... nothing trapped in there...
So i suppose i need to check:
1) Is the Pump burnt out?
2) Something wrapped around the pump propellor?
Anything else worth looking at when i have the machine out/ unplugged?
Thank you
I had a similar problem with my Miele not draining.I knew there was a filter at the front which I cleaned.However what I didn't know was is that there is also a filter at the back where the water enters the machine which also needs cleaning from time to time. That was the problem actually. Worth having a look maybe.
Drop a lot of anti calc in thre as well as you may have a calced up system. The water here is very high in calcium and it can cause blockages and a strain on the components.
There are products readily available to clean out washers and dishwashers. If you live in an area where hard water is a problem, it might be worthwhile running one of them through the machine so long as it actually will run through.
A burnt out pump would obviously stop the machine emptying but It's hard to imagine that it would also slow down the spin cycle.
