Thanks!

[@laurenjones2216]

Thank you so much for this. This is the first thing that’s broke in my house since my dad passed, he usually did all my fixing and I did this first time! He’d be proud! Thank you!

[@tomarmstrong1297]

You saved me a great deal of agro. Found a pair of torn up boxer shorts and a Chinese (?) coin clogging up the filter. This video was better than the manufacturers' own self-help video for cleaning this out.

What an excellent presentation. So many videos (specially the American ones!) spend an hour telling you fifteen minutes worth of information. This was precise, to the point, educational and above all, useful in saving us lots of call out charges, dirty clothes etc (as of course our machine stopped over the christmas break). Well done, a lot of presenters could usefully study your style. Also it was excellent that you did not stop at unblocking the filter, but you carried on and did other useful work removing calcium and explaining many bits that users do not usually see. This is the difference between a professional who does the job thoroughly and properly, and the fly-by-night who charges £80 for a call out, removes a coin, pockets the money and disappears. Well done. I was a boiler service engineer with a similar work ethic. I would do the 'extra' bits of work to make it run better and longer, and customers would always thank me and recommend me to others. That is the way to run a successful business.

Hahaha good one

[@sarahbennett9820]

How did you manage to turn the washing machine over?? or were you able to open the filter?

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

You should fix it if it was jammed with a hair clip of yours!

[@sulekhahassan4294]

Hahahahah same here 😂😂😂

[@BelliXedits5]

My darling two year old kept putting tiny lego down the detergent dispenser pipe and i knew in time it would cause problems. Last night it stopped draining and the plumber wasnt replying to my requests for help. Our filter was jammed and wouldnt open so had to go full on in. I followed your instructions and 90 mins later I had fixed the machine by myself! The hardest parts were getting the wires detatched from the filter and the tube clip ring things were tricky to get off and on again but I did it!! So proud of myself. THANKYOU!

[@gemini802]

How did you get into tje pump though an£ dd you tilt the machine did you have help howcdid you remember where all the parts go back as well?

[@cieranatkinson97]

Smashed it, saved me so much trouble getting someone in, had to take the housing off but the simple instructions you’ve given made it so much easier!!

[@alanmartin5437]

Absolutely brilliant! My engineer is on holiday, so I spent 2 days trying to solve the problem myself (with the help of other video sites). On the verge of giving up, then I found this detailed video. Went back to the machine and solved the problem in just a few minutes (a jammed 2p coin in the hose connecting the drum with the pump unit). Thank you very much!

[@VineetSahuvs]

Thank you very much for the video. I have fixed my machine following your video. Thanks and Blessings. But that is not all, I want to compliment you on the video - it is so well made, each step articulately explained and videographed that different kinds of issues can all be covered in one video. In my case, the debri was stuck above the floater ball and your lucid, poised and accurate explanation gave me the knowledge and courage (yes, courage!) to open it up and give it a shot. You definitely deserve more than a beer from me! Especially in these times when no service mechanic can visit.

[@o.c2231]

I have watched all the videos on KZbin regarding this problem. Best video by far, saved me quite a few Bob! Thanks mate❤

[@lukagiltrap77]

Thank you for making this video Paul! Nearly six years later in 2022, your tutorial was crucial to me getting the pump off a Bosch VarioPerfect Serie 4, and then being able to open the filter. Thank you again, from over here in Ireland!

[@theargentrose]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you! Today with the help of my 15 year old, I was able to remove and clean the stuck pieces of wood skewer and chunk of zip tie (and gross gunk) stuck in the pump/filter. It's been a *hard* few weeks and a broken washer (or the cost of repair) was the last thing I needed, but this video made all the steps totally clear and easy to follow, and my washing machine works again! 🎉 Your explanation was clear, complete while concise, and super helpful, and saved me at least €70 in repair costs. I appreciate you making this excellent video *so* much!

[@susanpurslow]

Hello Paul - thank you so much I am delighted and really chuffed to have taken apart my pump with your excellent videos and taken out a kirby grips and nails that had been stuck in there preventing me opening the filter. Your simple, clear instructions meant the job was done in no time, I was amazed! My husband was pretty impressed too!

[@jadelyth7397]

Thank you so much!! Im a single mum of 3 so i cant live without my washing machine! Plus couldnt afford a call out, your video was by far the best instructional.

[@auntbeatch]

This is one of the best how-to videos I have ever viewed. Just the right level of detail and assumed viewer competence for me.

[@barthitman]

I've been having real issues with my machine. I have never technically tinkered with a washing machine before, following this crystal clear video I've removed my pump, found a few tiny things that bipassed the filter so it was inside the pump and caused it to fail. Tested and now fixed. You saved me £90 call out and a new pump. I wouldn't have dared in the past. Top work. Thank you very much.

[@nicolaallen7555]

A huge thank you for your clear and comprehensive instructions! My filter which I’m only now aware we have ! wouldn’t open however hubby and I were able to solve the problem and eventually found £4 in change and a bracelet which were causing the issues! Filter now working and able to open and check which I will be checking regularly going forward ! Fingers crossed all good and can wash again! Thanks again !!

[@sharpeipink123]

Thank you so so much for this video.......my daughters and I together...cracked it and saved ourselves buying a new machine and found 2 hair grips and a £1 coin!! Cant thank you enough.....Many blessings to you and yours x

Thanks to this video I cleaned my pump even without disassembling it, I managed to pull out the rubber pipe and clean the junk out of the filter. You saved me a lot of money for an half hour work!

[@anitapacsery4926]

I was looking for a new washing machine when I found this video. I cleaned the pump and it is working again. Thank you for this video!

[@clsisman]

This was so helpful. I'm a complete beginner to fixing my own appliances, barely even put up a picture on my own before. It was a little trickier because my washing machine was screwed to the floor but I still managed it thanks to your clear instructions. The washing machine runs great now, and i can open and clean the filter whenever :)

[@emmamorgan5908]

I know this video is a few years old now but it is brilliant. I feel so proud of being able to clean pump, replace it and get my machine working again. You are an absolute legend - thank you. Btw - I found £4.22 which is why the filter wouldn't open!!

[@moelfam]

Thank you very much for this. Just followed the instructions and youve saved me about £200.

[@jamesneilson1831]

Brilliantly clear. Gave me confidence to do it myself and got 22 pence and 7 collar stiffness, Kirby grip and a huge amount of funk out of it. Also saved a Bosch engineer call out and very empowered now. Thank you.

[@ralucapopisteanu8621]

Thank you so much! Your video was the most useful video I ever tried. You help me saving $850 that my husband was almost ready to pay for a the new washing machine. I am a woman with no background in mechanics, but after I understood your explanations, I also watch another video on how to use a Bosch for screws (ha ha !) and I manage to fix my old washing machine. Now it works like new! Thank you and keep going with your channel. You are a wonderful teacher!!

the LEDs on my "Indesit iwdc 6145" started blinking and it would not drain water. Indesit Customer Service told me they charge 189€ for a diagnosis, so it would be 200€+ with spare Parts. I ended up watching this video and cleaned the pump myself, i found a Aluminium can lid blocking the propeller. After some cleaning and removing the culprit the machine works as good as new. Thank you so much for uploading this video!

I can’t thank you enough. I put my machine on a cleaning cycle and it just stopped working. Thanks to your amazing video my partner and I were able to fix the machine. Inside we found two hair bands and two pounds worth of change including a fifty pence piece also a lot of cleaning solution which must have been the last straw.The filter cap had been stuck for ages but thanks to you’re amazing video my machine not only works but has a working filter for the first time in two years. The last time called for a engineer there was a three month waiting list so thank you so so much for saving me a lot of trouble.

[@simondavies8075]

OMG Thanks so much!! I had the exact issue with the filter cap and had given up. Found this video and psyched myself up for it this AM... Took 1hr, No money for me but some foam, lint etc.. and around 10 wooden matches wedged in the main large pipe from the drum! The Beko machine never had easy access to the pump screws (typical) but got there eventually. Machine working so well now. No drainage water left, items removed are not wet. :-D

[@SteCrook]

Thank you so much for the video, this is brilliant. I was unable to open my filter, I didn't have a torx screwdriver to get the pump out, but it's a relatively new washing machine. Unplugged it, flipped it on its back, undid the tube using the pliers, fished out all the crap, seemed to be half a dozen hairpins holding the blockage together. I used by dyson unblock gadget to fish it all out..... A metal bbq skewer with the end turned using the pliers. Worked a treat, managed to sort it without removing and parts and without the correct tools thanks to your handy video. I owe you a pint

[@j6art]

Spot on, fixed my Beko washing machine after a rogue underwire got stuck between the inner and outer drum, only took 8 minutes. Many thanks

[@cormacheaney9896]

Thanks a million, 70p and a face mask stopped the machine working and the filter door wouldn’t budge. Followed your steps and worked a treat. Thanks again

[@anaplazibat1400]

Suuuch a helpful video, thank you!!! I'm a 24yo girl and things like this scare me but you explained everything perfectly! My filter had a full sized face mask stuck in it....

[@peterbailey722]

I have a Bosch Logixx9. The filter wouldn't open to allow me to fix an E18 code. Your video was wonderfully helpful, straightforward, clear and encouraging. On this model, you get at the pump from the front panel which is fastened by star head screws and pop-clip plastic lugs. Took me some time to figure this out and I was initially daunted when I upended the machine to see no way in from underneath. All went well: hairgrips, bits of old biro, pieces of plastic and a mess of fabric debris. The wonder is not that it blocked but that it worked so well until today! Thank you. PB Cambridge

[@djfirkins]

Thank you! We saved ourselves provably 100 euros by not having to call out a technician. Excellent vid. Super-clear instructions. I managed to use your guidelines to fix a Siemens IQ700 with a stuck filter cap. It would only turn 90⁰. Accessing the pump behind the front cover was slightly different; I couldn't figure out how take off the base of the machine, but managed to access the pump by unscrewing the plastic cover behind the filter cover. The blockage was caused by a Magnum ice cream stick and a couple of coins, along with a nice wad of gunk of dubious origin...

[@adamtester7611]

From Australia. Thank you very much. Just retrieved a small drill bit from the back of the pump. Saved me. Thank you again.

[@karenwernham3668]

Great video, kitchen flooded and water in drum and not spinning, engineer cost on bank holiday 175.. pounds.. hubby put it on the side and we checked it and followed your instructs, the electric was worried about but its just like an usb.. we undid front nothing blocking, took out pump checked all tubes and there was sand totally blocking everywhere that was damp, cleaned it all out, had a fight with the pump ball to get back in but after a few cuss words went back in, put everything back together one of clips was a pain but theres always one isnt there.. hubby turned it all back is running tons better and working tyvm for this video, bang on and easy to follow.. even for a 53 year old woman.....

[@elev11ner]

Thank you very much sir! BEKO service centre here ask me RM 250 (GBP 47) for this problem - the technician told me it is for replacing the filter cap together with drain pump ; because its only come in 1 set.

[@beckynielsen478]

Thank you for this video! I've just moved into a new flat and the washing machine that came with it was in a bad state. Followed these instructions when I couldn't twist the filter open, and took the filter apart to find 2 kirby grips and a clothing label blocking up the filter. Just running a test cycle now, but I'd never have been brave enough to try taking it apart if it weren't for the clear instructions in this video - thank you!

Great vid, very clear, and I emptied about 7 coins, 5 collar plastic strengtheners and a variety of other junk out my filter. Perhaps I should check it more than once every 12 years when the machine won't drain? Great stuff, much appreciated that you've posted this.

[@marcmcleanphoto]

Great video buddy thanks , I had an eventful day after watching this video haha i haven't cleaned my filter for about a year and it was totally jammed found a 5p coin a 1euro coin a kirby grip and 2 screws, behind all that was a tightly packed ball of hair, all the different colours my partner and 2 daughters have been dying their hair over the last year 😅 got it all cleaned out and put back together, putting the hose back on using mole grips for the clamp, it slipped and a tiny bit of metal shit into the cornea of my eye, so a wee trip to local A&E to get out it, doc says i done the right thing getting it sorted right away alot of people wait a couple of days and its harder to dig out by then, so I'll maybe wear some safety specs next time lol.... Washing machine back in action and BIG shout out to the NHS was in and out within an hour all guidelines in place 💓

[@ec175]

Brilliant! Mine was turning and jamming before I could completely unscrew it. I just turned it clockwise and anti-clockwise repeatedly without too much force and it did eventually unscrew. As the man predicted it was jammed with a 5 pence piece! I was surprised there was nothing else in there after 13 years service and I never knew you had to check the pump filter, doh. Will be checking it every year now.

[@Bella-x1n1b]

Additional tip / my 2 cents: a) Always use gloves when manipulating parts, plugs, hoses, etc. inside a metal cabin, otherwise you can easily injure yourself on sharp edges of the housing. b) Do not wear a ring during any of these repairs; it could be damaged \ scratched and you could be injured if the ring gets stuck anywhere.

[@martinklein6786]

Thank you. Had to resort to pump removal and was able to clear the items preventing opening the filter, Then could clear accumulated tissues and hair grunge. A great sense of satisfaction in not having to pay a tradesperson or repair shop.

[@SaintPepsiSanCoca]

Thanks so much for the explanation, my drain plug was stuck and I was trying to brute force it for ages. Wow had to take nearly the whole washing machine apart to remove the filter. Filter was absolutely clogged with hay from my bunnies! 🎉

[@andreagrasby9934]

Fantastic very helpful video, cleared the blockage and that awful noise has stopped too! I've taken the opportunity to soak the pipes in citric acid and all limescale gone now. Worked a treat - thank you

[@susanapling7785]

thank you so much! My pump was fixed, but I still managed to do it following your instructions. REALLY FANTASTIC

[@susanapling7785]

having some trouble connecting the wires again though because I can't see it!

Thank you, this is why I enjoy youtube. You find all the how to's you need for at home

[@msp7665]

Thanks a lot for the videos. just followed it and got 87p and a front door key out of the filter. Before i took them out the machine was having trouble spinning and making a right racket. Now it is spinning like the wheels on a boy racers car. Thanks again

[@travellinglady5893]

Thank you for this video, I thought we were going to have to buy a new machine right before Christmas. Two hair grips removed and we are draining again. Very much appreciated.

[@barnabycrocker3462]

Great video. Really helped me out. Instructions very clear, and I couldn't believe the quantity of stuff I retrieved from the pump

[@kevinlindegaard1885]

Thanks Paul. Saved a bundle by watching your vid and following the instructions. Embarassed to say the filter contained a 20p, a 5p, 5 hair slides, a hair band, 2 shirt collar stiffeners and more as well as loads of gunk. I have bought you a Stella so your tutorial cost me £2.75 and two hours labour but left me with a big smile on my face! One thing - I got a bit carried away and turned it on last night and was a bit disappointed that the control wasn't working properly. I think that the electrical connections must have got slightly damp despite my best efforts. However, this morning working fine after two loads. Fingers crossed. Thanks again.

[@jacjones7414]

This video allowed me to save at least £100 calling an engineer out. I also now feel epic that I've fixed a washing machine by myself. Thanks a lot!

[@DiscoFang]

Fabulous, clear, detailed and expertly presented. I've been putting up with a recurring problem with my AEG not draining. Have actually long suspected a coin or something acting as a flap valve in the pipe! You have showed me how to check it! Cheers!!

[@DiscoFang]

Ahah! I'm glad I visited your site first. Discovered from your videos there that the AEG is a completely different method of disassembly for accessing the pump!

[@nitdov]

An excellent explanation on how to clean a WM filter It saved me a technician visit

[@Reverend-JT]

Great video, this really helped me get mine sorted. As a side note, on my BEKO model, the pump can be removed from inside the bottom panel without removing the front, just by twisting. The only tool I needed was a pair of pliers to remove the large circlip, the rest came off by twisting. Thanks again!

[@h.w.rhymes6784]

Thanks a lot...with your video guidance, I have fixed my IFB washing machine filter during this lockdown period...GREAT JOB...HATSOFF TO YOU...from India

[@lizvanderpump4550]

Thanks a bunch. We fixed our washer ourselves..... filter was gummed up with coins, fake nails, a debit card and a pair of nail scissors!

[@kdugmore1]

Excellent video thank you. Cured the sticking filter very easily then spent 2 hours cleaning out 5 years build up of crud from the pipes. Only found your video by accident but will certainly check out your others now.

[@judy1angel]

AWESOME!!!Thanks 'how-2' totally brilliant. Got our stuck filter out and found a colour collecting sheet - like a wipe but thicker - stuck right in there. Sorted it all and finished the wash cycle fine. Thanks so much! Saved us a fortune!! Bless you :) If I could give you 10 or 100 likes I would! . . .
