Hello,
I have a Zanussi ZWH6160P washing machine. Lately it has been giving me tro uble. It started when the door would not open after a wash. I ran the "Drai n" program then the door opened. As per the manual I removed and cleaned th e drain filter even though it did not seem to be dirty. I am confident I re placed it according to the instructions. However since then the machine wil l not wash.
When I select the program I want and press the start button it fills with w ater for about ten seconds then spins at a high speed for about five second s then just stops. The door will not open again until I have run a "drain" program. I have looked at the drain hose and can not see any kinks. The oth er end of the hose attaches to a sink spigot. The sink appears to be draini ng freely. The lights on the front of the machine are not displaying an err or code.
The only fault listed in the manual that is vaguely similar is to do with a n unbalanced load but that only kicks in after ten minutes (or so it says). Is the next step taking it apart? If so how should I get the water out? Ev en after running the "drain" program several times there is still water in the machine, I know because I can see it when I lift the filter cover.
TIA
