What an excellent presentation. So many videos (specially the American ones!) spend an hour telling you fifteen minutes worth of information. This was precise, to the point, educational and above all, useful in saving us lots of call out charges, dirty clothes etc (as of course our machine stopped over the christmas break). Well done, a lot of presenters could usefully study your style. Also it was excellent that you did not stop at unblocking the filter, but you carried on and did other useful work removing calcium and explaining many bits that users do not usually see. This is the difference between a professional who does the job thoroughly and properly, and the fly-by-night who charges £80 for a call out, removes a coin, pockets the money and disappears. Well done. I was a boiler service engineer with a similar work ethic. I would do the 'extra' bits of work to make it run better and longer, and customers would always thank me and recommend me to others. That is the way to run a successful business.

Thank you so much for the video, this is brilliant. I was unable to open my filter, I didn't have a torx screwdriver to get the pump out, but it's a relatively new washing machine. Unplugged it, flipped it on its back, undid the tube using the pliers, fished out all the crap, seemed to be half a dozen hairpins holding the blockage together. I used by dyson unblock gadget to fish it all out..... A metal bbq skewer with the end turned using the pliers. Worked a treat, managed to sort it without removing and parts and without the correct tools thanks to your handy video. I owe you a pint

Thanks Paul. Saved a bundle by watching your vid and following the instructions. Embarassed to say the filter contained a 20p, a 5p, 5 hair slides, a hair band, 2 shirt collar stiffeners and more as well as loads of gunk. I have bought you a Stella so your tutorial cost me £2.75 and two hours labour but left me with a big smile on my face! One thing - I got a bit carried away and turned it on last night and was a bit disappointed that the control wasn't working properly. I think that the electrical connections must have got slightly damp despite my best efforts. However, this morning working fine after two loads. Fingers crossed. Thanks again.

Last night it stopped draining and the plumber wasnt replying to my requests for help. Our filter was jammed and wouldnt open so had to go full on in. I followed your instructions and 90 mins later I had fixed the machine by myself! The hardest parts were getting the wires detatched from the filter and the tube clip ring things were tricky to get off and on again but I did it!! So proud of myself. THANKYOU!

In my case, the debri was stuck above the floater ball and your lucid, poised and accurate explanation gave me the knowledge and courage (yes, courage!) to open it up and give it a shot. You definitely deserve more than a beer from me! Especially in these times when no service mechanic can visit.

I have a Bosch Logixx9. The filter wouldn't open to allow me to fix an E18 code. Your video was wonderfully helpful, straightforward, clear and encouraging. On this model, you get at the pump from the front panel which is fastened by star head screws and pop-clip plastic lugs. Took me some time to figure this out and I was initially daunted when I upended the machine to see no way in from underneath. All went well: hairgrips, bits of old biro, pieces of plastic and a mess of fabric debris. The wonder is not that it blocked but that it worked so well until today! Thank you. PB Cambridge

OMG Thanks so much!! I had the exact issue with the filter cap and had given up. Found this video and psyched myself up for it this AM... Took 1hr, No money for me but some foam, lint etc.. and around 10 wooden matches wedged in the main large pipe from the drum! The Beko machine never had easy access to the pump screws (typical) but got there eventually. Machine working so well now. No drainage water left, items removed are not wet. :-D

@s.oguzkaramzrak1544 6 жыл бұрын

Very helpful and thorough information, nicely presented. Despite high calcium in the local water supply, the filter unit had never been cleaned before, and got stuck. Totally removing the unit and using a calcium dissolver did the trick, together with a few not too strong taps on the unit. Most calcium in the "ball" case. As the motor and propeller look intact, have still to check the heater and the grounding for the occasional short-circuiting. Even to the point the info was worth two rounds of beer. Cheers :))

Thank you for this great video. My Hotpoint seems to have taken on the role of a wishing well in my family, I found 4 coins, a 3mm twist drill and 2 tooth picks lurking in the filter and pipes. Unfortunately the impeller had broken off the motor shaft. So a new pump was called for. I guess I could have put the impeller back with epoxy glue but at about £20 for a new pump it seemed best to replace it as the machine is 10 years old.

Great video buddy thanks , I had an eventful day after watching this video haha i haven't cleaned my filter for about a year and it was totally jammed found a 5p coin a 1euro coin a kirby grip and 2 screws, behind all that was a tightly packed ball of hair, all the different colours my partner and 2 daughters have been dying their hair over the last year 😅 got it all cleaned out and put back together, putting the hose back on using mole grips for the clamp, it slipped and a tiny bit of metal shit into the cornea of my eye, so a wee trip to local A&E to get out it, doc says i done the right thing getting it sorted right away alot of people wait a couple of days and its harder to dig out by then, so I'll maybe wear some safety specs next time lol.... Washing machine back in action and BIG shout out to the NHS was in and out within an hour all guidelines in place 💓

Thank you! We saved ourselves provably 100 euros by not having to call out a technician. Excellent vid. Super-clear instructions. I managed to use your guidelines to fix a Siemens IQ700 with a stuck filter cap. It would only turn 90⁰. Accessing the pump behind the front cover was slightly different; I couldn't figure out how take off the base of the machine, but managed to access the pump by unscrewing the plastic cover behind the filter cover. The blockage was caused by a Magnum ice cream stick and a couple of coins, along with a nice wad of gunk of dubious origin...

Thanks a lot for the videos. just followed it and got 87p and a front door key out of the filter. Before i took them out the machine was having trouble spinning and making a right racket. Now it is spinning like the wheels on a boy racers car. Thanks again

Thank you so much. My mom and I just took out our filter as we had things stuck in and cleaned it.

Smashed it, saved me so much trouble getting someone in, had to take the housing off but the simple instructions you’ve given made it so much easier!!

Fabulous, clear, detailed and expertly presented. I've been putting up with a recurring problem with my AEG not draining. Have actually long suspected a coin or something acting as a flap valve in the pipe! You have showed me how to check it! Cheers!!

Ahah! I'm glad I visited your site first. Discovered from your videos there that the AEG is a completely different method of disassembly for accessing the pump!
