Washer has stopped full of water, says she...
Pull it out, jack it up, using wood blocks a little at a time, so as to get it high enough to let it syphon itself via the drain pipe into a bowl.
It needs to be high anyway, to get to the pump and filter. A flat curved strip of rusty wire and made its way partially through the filter, wedging the pump impeller solid. Other than that, clean as a whistle - so take that Calgon lol
Now on test, still up in the air, balanced on a pair of Stella crates.
