5 years on, this video continues to help the likes of me. My washing machine has also been slightly demystified in the process. Thank you!

I just watched your video and thought this is pretty simple...I've cleaned the filter on a different brand, so I had a go. Unfortunately for me, the cap was stuck...I called Hoover and they were very helpful and suggested that there could be something stuck behind the cap...so I got a torch and glasses and persevered, trying to coach it out, but afraid to use a screwdriver or anything like that to assist me, since everything was made of pvc/plastic and I did not want to damage it. Anyway, yes, there was a drill bit stuck in there and when I got that out, the cap came off...also, there was heaps of stuff in the filter, including coins. I'm just posting this here in case someone else has the same problem. These videos are great for DIY'ers!! Thanks so much. It also taught me how important it is to clean the filter more often!

I woke up to this error code (E03) reflecting on my Hoover washing machine, and Wooow, I have tried your SIMPLE well explained steps and now the washing machine has span to the end! A huge thank you for your generosity. It has saved me plumber fee... Once again thank you!!

Just had this exact issue on my Candy washer/dryer and after watching this video, I emptied the filter and cleaned out a load of shirt collar stays. Machine is now up and running and I was about to have to call an engineer in the new year so thank you for this so much!

You sir are awesome, I had no idea they had a hose to help with the water. I was getting ALL my towels ready to catch it. Thank you

BRILLIANT video! Thank you so much. I followed it exactly and fixed my machine without having to pay someone to come out. Thank you VERY much. It was very easy to follow.

ur a true angel, this saved me and my housemates

Thanks for the vid. My blockage was caused by a stray 5€ note. I now have a working washing machine and an extra fiver in my back pocket! 🙏🏻

Thank you. Mine is a different model but I followed your instructions and finding this now means that I don’t have to wait 10 days for a call out.

Couldn't find the culprit to the error but doing this got my washing machine going again! Thank you!

Thank you! I thought I was up for a new washing machine but this worked a treat.

tack för att du finns

I think it's worked! Couldn't get the hose out and a LOT of water came out but so did a very suspicious looking 2p coin. It's spinning now so I think we are onto a winner !! Thank you

Thank you so much for this video! I had a huge blockage and flooded my kitchen 😂

Thank you so much! Every couple of months I need to send it in for this error. Imagine my surprise when I found curtain hooks, string, and solidified washing powder. Took me less than 5 minutes to resolve

This is brilliant and that's the exact washing machine too, so even better for me.

Be carefull guys with the water ,you will need more then 1 towel

Cheers for the Video, managed to fix quicker than trying to get through on the phone.

Very useful, got mine fixed within minutes. Thanks!

Thankyou fixed my mum's washing machine thanks to you.

Cheers for that mate,mine's a bush washing machine but it still worked,was blocked with shredded bits of towel.

Thank you so so much you have just saved me from having to buy a new washer after following your instructions and unclogging the filter my washers now working good as new . Thank you so much 😀

Thanks for the tip - that just keeps on fixing. This did the trick perfectly

Thank you! This worked out for me and it was so much easier than anticipated.

Thank you ever so much for the information it's working now.

Cheers for this, spent about 15 mins waiting for the water to drain out lol.

This video saved me doing the totally wrong thing. Thanks!

Great vid another vid I watched didnt show the drain pipe so had me cupping water out am disabled so that hurt !! Thank Very Much

I know you posted this video in Jan 2018, but it helped me with my problem is 2022. Thank you for the help.

Thanks Garreth - fixed a treat !

Smear petroleum jelly on the groove before refitting to prevent limescale build up and easier removal each time!

Thank for the help. P.s Nice shot of the towel Not the machine :-)

Thank you mate. Never had an error message before. My god did that water smell. Thank you 😁

Thansks for showing! Greetings from Sweden!

Thanks, done the job and saved me having to call out an engineer.

Thanks mate . You’ve helped me big time cheers 😉

Thanks! Great video. Terrible washing machine. No pully thing so wet floor - ha!

Big thanks. My filter was blocked with all sorts of stuff including coin!

Ive pulled out the filter and cleaned it then swirled around the impeller and have found nothing. The washer is till showing E03 error code so what do I do now?

Thanks so much mate, it's working great now; by the way, it was a 50p that caused the issue!

Thanks very much. Saved us a lot of money. Found a coin and button in there.

Bro you helped me out..

You are brilliant.. I just repaired mine n it was the filter .thank youuuuu

you saved my a$$ thank you

In can't get to that pipe you pull out, it just looks like a plug that can't be removed. EDIT: apparently on some models there is no pipe. Just lay down some towels and unscrew the big one.

Hi there, I can't get the hose out because I don't have a pully thing on the end like yours does?

Thank you soooo much😝 Your video helped two girls at midnight🤣🤣

If anyone doesn't have the hose thing on the right be prepared for a waterfall to come out when you unscrew the drain, like other people said get a mop ready or some towels, even better set your machine on drain mode prior

Thank you 🙏

When i remove that white thing it comes out WITHOUT the black thing.. HOW!!

Thank you very much, a very handy guide. I found one of those colour capture sheets blocking mine.

Its not the problem with my machine the main drain hose is clear and the waste water is also clear , ive replaced the pressure switch and its still giving E03 but if i put it on a manual drain it finishes fine . Any ideas ?( checked the resistance of the heater element and its mid range of the expected value -apparently a failing heater can cause E03 as well)

Great video, really helpful!

Tried this but when twisted it the plastic spun but wouldn't come out then the button came away from the hose and water came out from under the machine??,

Thank you although I can’t open the white screw cap. I keep turning but cannot prize it off!

No hose next to my filter ??

So I have a Hoover. I replaced the water pump and housing as I thought this was the issue. Pipes leading to the drain outside is clear. Still water isn't draining. Any ideas?

Helpful video thank you!

Cheers. Worked like a dream.

My model doesn't have one of those hoses. It looks blocked off. Only has a drain filter. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the informatiion, job done, crisis averted.

If only my Hoover washing machine had a hose to drain at the bottom as yours does! Why isn’t this a standard feature!?

Thank you very much!!!!! much appreciated! Bless you! :D :D fixed it immediately!! :)

Good tips, thanks. Can the front drain hose get blocked also - I get the drain error code and there’s water everywhere if I take the filter out, but nothing comes out of the front hose. Thanks.

Cheers for that, i tried it previously but it didn’t work. Tried removing the black hose from the drum to the filter also but it was clear too. Remove the drainage hose next? Reluctant to just coz it’s near electrics. Don’t wanna mess with it. Might just call someone out.

How can a drain pump be blocked when I have a brand new washing machine, first wash?

Thank you so much my friend! Working! :)

Hi I did this still having error E03 checked the impeller and does have resistance when spinning by hand but there’s nothing inside it’s clean and holding water in the rubber hose I’m stumped

Thank you, it worked for me!

Thanks a lot! Very helpful video. I appreciate it!. Couldn't get the hose out but a LOT of water plus coin and other small material came out from the big one!

I've cleaned mine but I still get E03. I noticed too that the washing machine will just sit there draining for the entire cycle but doesn't actually do anything else. I cleaned the entire drainage system. Any ideas?

Thank you so much! I’ve used your method once or twice. The problem is that it keeps on happening and I noticed that sometimes it doesn’t take the fabric conditioner in. Is there anything else I can do?

I do that but is still showing E03

Thanks mate. Perfect!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you. All sorted

Thanks for this awesome!

Hi any ideas why I get error 03 only on a wash cycle. If I rinse and drain all ok. But on a wash it drains empty then 03 code. Thanks same machine as this.

Thank you for this video, much appreciated

thank you so much for the information i got it fix thank you

Excellent, a hair grip and a pound coin (result!) in the filter, TFP

how easy should the fan spin, mines seems like spring loaded and spins in steps like

My filter won't come out. I've turned it anti clockwise and the cap comes off but the actual filter is still inside. Any ideas on how I can get it out?

I don’t have the pull out hose to drain water in my machine dyn8164d2x. How do I drain it please ?

Just tried this and my model doesn’t have a hose pipe next to the drain filter! Is my only option now to open the drain filter and flood my kitchen? 😂

Hi internet works. BUT my problem is the error code is 303 - anyone have any idea whats wrong?

Thanks skipper👍

thanks for this, even an idiot like myself managed to fix it 👍🏻

DYN7125D3 model .how this repair when eo3 comes ...

Mine doesn't have a pull out drainage pipe?!?

Didn't have a pull out water pipe bit, didn't seem to be much water anyway.... No there was masses of smelly water. Nice big clean up ahead, but washing machine is fixed. Good few coins and stones (from my 6 yr olds pockets) in the filter.

Mines coming up with h04

Yo this video is sick

Fixed thanks to your no nonsense video. Much appreciated

Cheers fella

If cleaning up the pump didn't work for you, then it's the heating element. I replaced mine and error went away.

I’ve got the same washing machine as you yet I don’t have a drainage hose like you ?

Annoyingly no hose in the front panel🙄

Well, it cleared it but sadly our machine didn’t have a hose. Opened the thing and water went everywhere!

No blockage but still won't drain any ideas
