Hi, recently my washing machine has started flash lights 2 and 4 towards the end of a cycle. The water does not drain. I have done my research and this error code points to a possible pump blockage. I have checked the pump at the front bottom as well as the drain pipe that goes to under my sink and both are clear and water passes through them. Im beginning to think there may be a blockage/problem elsewhere. Where else can I check?

Check the sump that's attatched to the bottom of the drum.
 
Follow the black tube from the pump. It goes under the drum with a clip round it.

So I should lie the machine on its side so I can see the bottom? Wouldnt any trapped water leak out?
 
No , no need to lie it down just tip it back and wedge it against the worktop. Then underneath you will see it.
 
Seems to have sorted the issue. Found a sock that was stuck in the sump! Thanks for the help, much appreciated :)
