Hello, my first post. I have an issue with the above machine, it fails to drain water at the end of the cycle. I manually drained it using the hose at the front and found a hairclip that was caught in the trap (this was possibly stopping the drian motor from spinning). Tested another cycle but again it fails to drain. The pump is spinning (it's louder than normal) and I can see the impeller spinning if I remove the front hose drain cover. I can also confirm that the rear outlet hose is definitely not blocked.

Is it most likely that the drain impeller pump motor has failed due to hair clip?? Is this a replaceable part and how much?? I would do it myself as I am an IT engineer and mechanic so not daunted by such things.

Thanks in advance for any advice

Dylan

It's possible the impeller has broken and instead of spinning it's just rattling about on the shaft. If so it needs a new pump. Either that or there's a blockage somewhere else. Just double check everything in my article here - Can’t Find a Blockage But Washing Machine Still Not Draining
