A few things come to mind. New address, clogged drain? Coin trapped in pump vane jostled into pump during move. Other blockage at the pump ie childs sock, underwear, other that may have gotten sucked through the sump. |

Several things come to mind.
1) Isn't that a model with the pump prefilter? A tray that filters out coins and other un-authorized items before it gets to the pump impeller. 2) There is something that is blocking a hose that is pushed into it's jamming position by water flow but will fall away and possibly not re-block when flow is disturbed. 3) (And a really good possibility!) There is a sump hose that comes out of the bottom of the tub and goes to the pump intake. Inside alot of those is a almost tennis ball sized ball and I see things get jammed up in there frequently! You may have to drop the sump hose and inspect. Be sure to probe up into the port in the bottom of the tub with your fingers to see if there is anything up there as well. The most common offender I find this way are those 'all in one' sheets that are supposed to dispense detergent and then softener in the dryer. These things do not disolve and easily make their way into the sump area and block drainage! RCD |
