Overflowing Washing Machine

[David8831]

My ASKO 10625 has developed a habit of overflowing from the detergent drawer every now and then when it is filling. It seems like there may be a blockage somewhere, but pulling the back off and having a good look around has not revealed anything. Any ideas? Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Cheers.

Can you find the pressure switch, (under top cover) remove the tube & blow down it to clear any blockage. Refit & retry, failing that possibly switch u/s.

Thank you JJ for your reply. I've pulled the top cover off, there does not seem to be a pipe leading to a pressure switch. There are;

1. 4 inlet pipes, 1 hot and 3 cold going to various parts of the drawer,
2. 1 overflow pipe that goes straight to vent water out the bottom of the machine.
3. 1 large diam. pipe for filling the drum
4. 1 small diam. pipe that goes from the back of the soap drawer to the back of the drum

The large outlet pipe to the drum seems to be perfectly ok. I'm not sure where to go next. As an interim measure, I think that I shall reduce the pressure of the water coming into the machine.

Cheers.
