Must be my week for machines busting, first my drill (now fixed), now my washing machine, good job I don't have a pacemaker.
Washing machine is a Hoover New Wave+ 1500 (1996 vintage, actual model is AC184)
Runs fine up until it starts to drain - drain pump starts and runs, water is being pumped out, then it goes to a fault code (E1) and stops.
I've had the pump out, tested it, seen it runs, checked the sump & drainage pipes are unblocked.
It looks like the behaviour I've seen previously when the pump has something trapped in it - but this time it hasn't - and is (partially) draining before going to the fault mode.
Any ideas?
