Thank you! 7 years later, this video is still solving problems. This was exactly what was wrong with my machine and it's now working perfectly again. Just cancelled the repair man and saved myself the £60 call out fee. You're an absolute legend! 👍

Thanks a lot eSpares for this video! After two days fighting against an e02 error from my candy washing machine, I saw this video and I fixed the problem in only 15 minutes. As you say in the video, a lot of detergent was stuck in the chamber, .eSpares is an excelent store, with professional and efficent workers!

Very informative video indeed. Got an issue with my Miele premier 300 showing "check drain" light when emptying and it won't spin after a cycle. So I'll give this a try and fingers crossed. Took the bottle off this morning and it was full of gunk, only leaving a small hole for air to get through. Cleaned it out and replaced. My washing machine is now spinning again and better than ever. Thanks eSpares you've saved me a small fortune.

Thanks for the clear explanations. Our front-load washer is overflowing and i suspect it's a problem with the fill pressure switch.

Great video thanks. I have a Gorenje washing machine which is very good and to be fair, rarely have an issue with its function. I am normally ok fixing simply things as long as there is excellent videos like this to identify fault. My machine would wash but refused to spin, a classic pressure switch issue. I checked all the pipes for blockages as well; they were all clear until i saw this video and checked door seal aperture. So the point of my post is for Gorenje owners because the machine doesn't have the classic chamber. The hose comes up from the pump and sits on an aperture in the door seal. Poking my finger up from inside the machine I found a slug of stinking mush that had completely blocked the aperture, fooling the pressure switch. Gave that a good clean out and hey presto works a dream now. So thanks Espares for putting me on the right trail.

I believe you have solved my problem, i am just really worried about disconnecting it all, everything on my beko washing machine works fine apart from water filling up and not stopping so doesn't go into a cycle, but i can drain it ok and set it on spin, will hot water clear any obstruction that may be in the chamber or hose please?
