This washing machine filter plug was difficult to open because there were hair clips stuck in the filter.

Great, you show at the beginning how stuck in real life it can get. If I do that besides my wife and it gets a little difficult, she starts screaming that I am doing it wrong. You haven't messed up yet and the crying starts from the get go

I physically could not undo the filter just with my fingers - I had to use the grip end of some diagonal cutters as prongs to untwist it, worked a charm! Cheers dude.

I had the same problem with basicly the same machine, it just stopped and all the lights begin to switch on and off. Couldn't open it by hand but with a tools (and a blanket so it wouldnt be damaged) i managed to open it and same rubbish came out. Dont forget to tide the plug very fast otherwise water will coming out always. Thanks for the movie upload! Saved me a lot of money and time.

Cheers! I started off with a mole grip but that didn’t work. In the end flicking it quickly left and right by hand eventually dislodged the 2p and 5p that were stuck in there and I was able to fully open it by hand.

Ps. If it is sand that is in your machiene, do a lightweigth clean wash in your machiene and if it happens again that the machiene stops and lights went on and off.. remove the plug with high speed and let the water filled with sand out as fast as you can, efen it this means a waterballet. Do this as much as needed.

Salve ho appena pulito il filtro ed era sporco di residui di detersivo , la mia lavatrice è da 4 lavaggi che non lava più bene i panni e non fa la schiuma anche se metto tanto sapone ,i panni puzzano ,la lavatrice invece assolutamente non puzza , faccio sempre cicli brevi a basse temperature,uso sempre i prodotti per l'anticalcare , come mai fa così? Io oggi ho pulito il filtro spero di aver risolto,ma nel caso cosa faccio ?

@bootsowen Жыл бұрын

It usually depends what lights are flashing and the manufacturer. Usually error codes are published somewhere online. Could be blocked pump especially if it stopped full of water. Se what lights are flashing and how many flashes. Then google that error code
