Hi guys, first post, so please bear with me.
I somehow managed to put detergent in both the drum and the conditioner tray yesterday and as you would expect there was foam everywhere!.
The cycle finished and my wife went about rinsing the clothes, which, after 3 rinse cycles still were not rid of the soap. So I took them out and flung them in the bath to rinse them as she went about putting in another load. The machine fired up, sounded as though it was trying to drain something and then simply stopped and all the lights (included the on/off switch) started to flash. We tried turning off the power at the mains for a few minutes and tried the washer again. Same thing.
So, I checked the filter and a whole load of black water came out of it, along with a couple of coins!. Cleaned things up a little and still the same ... no matter what cycle we put it on, it will only go so far and then stop with all lights flashing. I poured water into the drum with the filter out and it came straight through but I did notice that water didn't seem to be getting in so checked the supply and all fine.
I put the filter back in place and poured a couple of jugs of water into the drum and tried draining - flashing lights again. I tried a normal spin, and this time the machine DID start filling with water and went half way through a wash cycle, and even drained but when it came to spin it died again and all the lights just started flashing on and off.
The machine is just over 2 years old and I'm tearing my hair out at this having to cost me a small fortune to have it repaired - I mean 2 years old?!.
If anyone can offer any advice or troubleshooting I'd seriously appreciate it
Thanks in advance
Marko
