Hotpoint Aquarius WF640 issues

[IJWS15]

Not sure if these are linked or not but two issues - both intermittent.

It dumps clean water on the floor, not a lot (a litre) and never seen it do it, appears to be coming out of the drawer. Cleaned the drawer, checked the tube down into the washer is clear - still does it, occasionally.

Has started stopping on cyle with one minute to go, has not spun (well really we are not sure if it has not spun or has spun but not pumped the water out. While clearing the water left in the machine last night after one event a fast sipin did not clear out the water, reset it and a pump out worked then a fast spin worked.

No fault messages

Machine is about 5 years old.

Now in checking the first fault I partially dismantled the machine and did unplug the PCB while taking the drawer casing out and need to check I got it fully pushed in but would expect that to create nore issues than we are seeing.

Any suggestions on the cause?

filter blocked needs cleaning .

Where do I find the filter?

 

[rocks1]

it could be in two places .remove front kickstrip if there is a twist filter on the right thats it ,if there is a red circle its at the back ,remove rear white lower panel and you will see a black cup with a jubilee clip undo it and clean it out .

Found it - it is at the back, well and truly clogged.

I presume the ball should stay in!

Thanks for the help.
