My washing machine (zanussi zf 400 WN) fills up with water when I run it. I get the feeling that the pump is broken (which makes a loud rattling noise when it should be pumping). Have checked the filter at the front after draining the damn thing a bucket at a time, which was (nearly) clean but that did not solve the problem.
Assuming I'd rather fix this machine myself than to call a mechanic or buy a new one, what would be the best way to proceed? Is the pump probably broken, or just obstructed by something?
Thanks in advance,
Sjoerd
