Hi all, I've spent all weekend trying to work this one out, besides going through about a dozen towels in mopping up the kitchen floor. The machine in question is JUST outside of the 12 month warranty, which is even more gawling.The problem is that when it goes into a rinse cycle, you see the drum fill up as normal, with water. It then starts to drain, which at the same time, kicks in a mdeium spin cycle. At this point, water comes pouring out of the deteregent dispenser, litres of the stuff-it looks like most of the water that went in for the rinse just ends up on my kitchen floor! It happens at the same point in the cycle-looking inside the machine, there is a 3" rubber corrugated hose (similar to what you would see on the end of a car drive shaft) that connects to the drum. from the dispenser-it appears that the water is coming back up this hose, from the drum, and out of the detergent dispenser. I've tried everything-the only other thing that happens, that makes me suspicouse, is that when a full load is in,and the water for rinsing is fully loaded in the drum, is that there is a jerking motion from the drum-it's like there isn't enough power to turn it. This happens a few times and then away it goes-a a few turns later and out comes the water. I've put it through about 10 full wash cycles and the problem happens at the exact same time, every time Any pointers would be welcome before I call in the cavalry or ditch the damn thing :-)
Cheers
Sandy
