Hi,

my good old washer had a problem. The washing started normally, but the water remained in the machine. We made the following video during the repair:

Enjoy it,

Very nice video. Thank you, especially for the English subtitles, but I am a little puzzled as to where the blockage was. There is the fluff screen before the pump to prevent objects from clogging the pump and the pump worked during the test. The Kliesterspritzen removed a blockage, but where?

well, apparently some where along the drain hose there was a clog.....

the only other issue I would address, is what or how the clog formed, of course by lint and strings from the wash water, but was something sticking out catching these little threads in the hose.....maybe cut or trim that section as to reduce the chances of it happening again....

otherwise a great video....thanks

Hi,

the blockage was after the drain hose, somewhere im the drain pipe. After pressing the water with the pipe in, it was free again. Ten years ago I had a similar problem in another drain. I cleaned it also with pressure and I had no problem again. If such clogs appear only every 10 years it's okay for me. It makes no sense to think about any prevention.

Regards,

Jürgen
