Easy repair of stuck filter on Siemens IQ500 and perhaps many other washing machines.

[@tomtoomey3902]

Casper! Thanks so much! I've just found the crucifix my Mum gave me two years ago! Plus a plectrum( I'm a guitarist) and two lucky pounds. Hair clips galore! I called the shop I bought the machine from, they just told me to turn the drain plug ha ha they must be kidding. My wife and I had such a laugh doing this at 9am on a Saturday morning. Seriously though, it really makes the point of checking every pocket in every piece of clothing before you wash. Rock on man. Thanks again.

You saved me. I needed a pair of parrot beak pliers (we call them “pinces bec de perroquet” in French), and found a - wait for it - pair of my seamless Uniqlo panties. I wondered why I seemed short a pair. 🤪

Mange tak, du har sparet mig for en masse bøvl 👍👍

[@stevendewinter5927]

I just found my lost house key thanks to you 😂. Incredible that Siemens doesn't create its own videos on this topic.

[@wabyrn]

Thanks so much! It was not so easy to do, but it worked! You saved me from having to call a repairman.

[@AnnieMann-w7c]

Same!!

[@Gabischmidtttttt]

you saved me lots of headache my friend! Many thanks 🙏👌❤️

[@kamensivanov]

God bless you, man! I just started disassembling the washing machine and then decided to look for a video before continuing. Thanks a lot! You saved me couple of hours work and it was Sunday evening - couple of minutes past 9 PM already.

[@lucie2you462]

I put my machine on its side and the drain filter opened. It took awhile longer to disconnect the black hose and find out what was blocking the filter drain. It turned out to be 2 pieces of change of different sizes and one very tiny nail. There's no need to complely disassemble. Thanks for making this easy.

[@asmagul1027]

Thank you so much sir I just fix my washing machine after watched your videos very helpful God bless you I was very worried about my washing machine 🤲🤲🤲

[@Nybergnyberg1]

Hi Casper! This was the only solution that worked! Thanks a million! Had hair pins, plastic tooth picks and a coin stuck in our filter.

[@nickybroxis3794]

Thanks so much. Fixed our machine thanks to your video. Much appreciated 😊

[@qwwwizx]

Glad it helped you out

[@N2dH]

Thanks, your video was spot on with the issue I was having :).

[@LaChicaconSuerte-1111]

Exactly, I don´t know why the other tutorials show you how to fully disassemble the machine!

[@henrikalfred8440]

Thanks 👍👍problem solved. I removed the entire black rubber tube. Cleaned it up and replaced it.

[@brucebarnard]

Thanks Casper....I removed a quality mouth/nose mask I used during the pandemic. I had wondered where it had gotten to! Now w.m. draining as it should. Thanks again.

[@jakubkejklicek4576]

Thank you for this video. You saved me money. A box of matches was washed in my filter 😀

[@qwwwizx]

Glad to hear it worked out then 👍

[@LifeoAl]

You sir have just saved me £200 bless you my bro

[@Cicelyize]

Thanks for this video as all others didn’t mention the filter cover being stuck and not coming off. In my case we managed to unscrew it open with patience, a sleeve of metal over the plastic and pliers. Hairpins and a mass of lint was caught behind blocking the door mechanism.

[@michaelahufnagel8108]

Thank you sooooo much!!! It was a pain to do all the steps you're showing as its not so easy to get with the hands into the machine but it worked very well! There were serveral things stuck in there. Great that you shared this Video with great explanation. Again thank you!

[@stefanos4839]

Thanks 🙏 it worked! Mine was also blocked with dental stick 😅

[@showstrength720]

You are the man. Saved money with my bosch 🍻

[@qwwwizx]

I am happy to hear that.

[@user-wi5bu4kz8r]

Hi Casper, just wanted to say thank you for your video clip to unblock filter cap. It helped me. Thank you. Connor

[@willos47]

Thanks for the tip. just saved some money thanks to you :))

[@PrickingOfMyThumbs]

Thank you for this. Previous 2 Siemens washers had a full width panel alongside the pump access which clipped off to allow access to the pump pipework. Why on earth have they changed the design.

[@sameerasim1070]

Thank you so much dude! You are a life saver!

[@jscaffino]

Thanks men, you are very kind of sharing this. It was exactly my machine's problem. thanks a lot!!

[@davidalley6351]

This was the only solution that worked. Mine was full of hairclips and poneytail elastics for my daughters. Getting the hose reattached was definitely a challenge and required two hands. I recommend putting a block under the unit for safety incase it falls.

[@henningdalgaard]

Tak for denne❤

[@stewartfung1127]

Great video. Solved my problem, many thanks!

[@kenthsvanberg8599]

Thanks, you made my day! I only wish I consulted youtube earlier 😃

Saved my life!!!

[@qwwwizx]

Thank you. Thats a pretty big archievement 🙂

[@sejautie]

On the Siemens iq700 the top end machine under the washer is not hollow it's metal so you have to take the door off Because solid machines thats why they don't move around iq500 are there basic machines?

[@qwwwizx]

You might be right. The thing here, is that many machines from other brands too, are just like the iq500.

[@sejautie]

@@qwwwizx some of them got cheaper I have the iq700 washing machine and heat pump tumble dryer and dishwasher siemens

[@MrDeaz]

Tusind tak for hjælpen!

[@speedygonzalezz7906]

Love you man❤

[@evadejong7945]

Worked perfectly, thanks!!

[@EddSidewalk]

Worked perfectly!

[@collectablecities]

Thanks you saved the day 🎉

[@dangardi4469]

How do u open the underneath cover?

[@qwwwizx]

If you have an underneath cover, your machine is different and cannot be fixed with this easy fix. 😞

[@3NBRSYRIA]

Thanks ❤

[@ianrussell7065]

Good video - to show the principle, but several of those things would not be in the filter - the paper would be mush and the dental thing is too big to escape from the drum and find its way to the filter

[@qwwwizx]

You are not correct. All the items escaped to the filter. They were pulled out just before the video. It can also be hairclips etc.

Awesome. Mange tak🎉

[@DrWoog]

Thanks!!

[@qwwwizx]

No problem

[@mushroom6565]

But how do you get the base off to get to the pump? I have done it before and i think i had to take the full fascia off as well as the top.

[@qwwwizx]

You tip it. There is no cover in the buttom, so the trick is to get under it. Then you dont have to take anything off

[@mushroom6565]

@@qwwwizx I’m afraid that’s wrong. There is a cover underneath the machine meaning I have to remove before I can access. If only it was as easy as just tipping it!

[@qwwwizx]

@@mushroom6565 maybe you washing machine is different than mine then. On my machine it was that easy. Then you might have to take it all apart.

[@mushroom6565]

@@qwwwizx yep. Two screws at the back to take the top off. Pull out the detergent tray. 3 more screws there to remove the info panel. Remove the spring on the rubber seal and turn the seal inside the drum. Tilt the machine and remove two screws from underneath. Remove two screw from the behind the access panel to the pump. Then another two screws from the front. Then finally you have to release the door lock mechanism to release the front from the machine. Then you have access to the jubilee clip to clear the pump. And then put it all back on again. Absolute f**king joke. I thought Germans were good at design? Just need an access door from the side panel surely.

[@qwwwizx]

@@mushroom6565 If you find a shortcut, make a video so others can benefit

[@gamingSlasher]

Very nice. Hope I dont need to use it :)

[@GD-th3gu]

Where is the base plate on your model? When I turn my washing machine upside down I’ve got a base plate. That’s an absolute pig to remove with electric hanging off it and I’ve taken all the screws off all the electrics and it still doesn’t wanna shift?

[@qwwwizx]

There are no base plate on my machine and many other types of this machine. If you have one of those with base plate, your machine is unfortunaltely not compatible with this fix.

[@GD-th3gu]

@@qwwwizx thanks for the reply. Got to it the end, had to take the top off, control panel and the the front panel/door - easy enough and saved a few quid in the process 😉

[@qwwwizx]

@@GD-th3gu Glad you managed. It can be hard to get to the baseplate.

[@mickaelalbert4217]

did u find ball inside? I have white ball it is normal ?

[@qwwwizx]

No. There should not be a white ball.
