My machine’s manufacturer sent out an engineer to look at the drainage problem. He connected a device, ran a test cycle and said the poor drainage is caused by user error which results in an unbalanced load. He advised to wash clothes as normal. Separate the load at the end and run two spin+drain cycles for each half. Even though the drainage issue existed regardless of load size. After watching your vid, I discovered a blockage between the kitchen waste trap and the machine’s outlet hose. Cleared and cleaned. Now running as normal. Your vid offered better troubleshooting advice than the company’s engineer!
I must be in the wrong job! Fabulous news that you found the blockage and many many thanks for your kind donation, I really do appreciate that. Thanks again and all the best 😎
Salman Hadi Yikes I don’t normally reply this quickly but this is an emergency! Only do it if you truly love her and you’ve been together a while. I waited 18years to pop the question, I wanted to make sure! Good luck 😉
Thank you so much I have fixed my washer. I’m a 67yr old woman and by following your instructions removed a colour catcher caught in the filter. Working now. Thank you for kindly using your time to help others. x
Thanks. My mom left me at home and she hoped that I’d be responsible and the washer wouldn’t drain and I was freaking out and thanks to you it works. *YOUR A LIFE SAVER*
My husband currently in Japan and I’m home alone try to figure everything out with our washing machine! Stress tf out of me thinking we will need to buy new washing machine. So glad I found your video. THANK YOUUUUU 😭😭😭
Thank you. Problem solved. Opening the filter (Bosch machine) was very difficult because there were enough coins to prevent both drainage at the back and opening at the front. Lots of anticlockwise then clockwise turns to shift them. I had to resort to pliers, which risked damaging the flimsy plastic handle I was turning, but I wouldn't have got in otherwise.
This video just saved me so much money, I was quoted over £100 for a plumber to come investigate my non-draining Logik machine. Granted, I did flood my kitchen in the process of unclogging the drain because I didn't expect SO much water to come out of the valve on the front but that's 100% user error 😂 thank you so much!
Lurgs you're a goddamn genius! I was all like "there's no way there will be a coin stuck in the filter, how would it fit through the drum". I drained it and low and behold there was an American quarter in there!!! Fixed now. Thank you sir!
Thank you, I just fixed my washing machine after watching this video! The problem was an elastic hair band preventing the drainage propeller from spinning. Great Job!
Thank you for this; you saved me an expensive call out with the drainage pump advice! This is the best use of RU-vid no one talks about, sharing easy fixes for daily problems and helping everyone keep household costs down. Good video, ten thumbs up.
A big thank you for this tutorial, you have saved me from buying another Washing machine, I followed your instructions and found some many things in the Little drainage at the bottom of the washing machine😳 God Bless you Sir🙏🏾
Had a non draining machine at my sons house. Followed your “How to” and fished out several coins, a face mask and a baby’s sock from the filter chamber. Ran the cleaner through the machine too, and it operates like new again now. Thanks.
So helpful. Just plan to call the professional before watching your video. Following your instructions and the problem disappeared. No words can describe my appreciation.
That actually worked! I had a plastic tag stuck in the filter, removed it and drained the rest of the water and it worked like magic!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you! I nearly fainted at the sight of calcified cat hair dust and whatnot, but the machine is working like a clock now. I also had a little piece of plastic stuck in there.
Cheers. £1.08p. And the pound was an old one. So God knows how long that has been on there. Saved me calling out the man. Working like a dream now. Thank you.
Thank you so much!! I never even knew how to open the filter, let alone clean it out. What came out was disgusting!! Hopefully the next wash will be back to normal 👍🏻
Spent ages emptying the filter and checking all the hose on my machine (which is absurdly long) Hadn’t checked the trap though as it’s linked to the sink and that’s draining fine - turns out there was a sequin the exact diameter of the pipe where the hose joins the pipe work and that was causing the block. I’d assumed it was the pump and was about to order a new machine until I saw this. You saved me, as a new machine would have had the same problem! Thank you so much
Thanks so much. I'm stuck at home in the lockdown just me and my daughter and had no idea what to do and assumed the washing machine had reached the end. It turned out a baby wipe was stuck in the filter!
You are my saviour! Washing machine worked ok before the home move, then it wouldn't drain! Followed your advice and BINGO! a huge lump of limescale fell out of the kitchen sink pipe. Machine now works beautifully again. Thank you so much.
What a great video. I got to 4:14, took my 5 - 10 min to check my issue and found a pin blocking things up. Absolutely great advice and all filters and pipes are clean now.
Cheers mate i bought a £645 LG latest model, wouldnt drain or spin, did what said! And low and behold there was small sock shedded behind the filter at the bottom, brilliant works perfect now, thanks a million
Thank you so much for the great video, last time a guy came did this for us and he took £150, I did it my self after watching your video and it worked, you deserve a like, a subscribe to your channel and watch all your ads 😆😍
Suzy Elzahar Marvellous, glad I could help you out. Thank you for the great comment and wow your channel is huge, thank you for subscribing and have a great weekend. 😎
Thanks to you I've located the problem. Our washing machine shares a U bend with the kitchen sink causing grease to build up along the drainage pipe coming out the back of our washing machine. Brilliant video and very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you so much Lurgs - I was completely put off at the thought of having to attempt to fix the washing machine - I'm not what you'd call handyman capable! Your videos and encouragement from a friend has literally saved me hundreds of pounds. Keep up the good work! It is really appreciated
Great stuff. Happy to help and thanks for the comment. Trying to grow my Channel and comments like this keep me motivated! Stay safe and happy washing! 😎
Thanks for your advice as I had a problem with the washing machine not spinning or draining and followed your instructions. It was rubbish in the filter and a hair clip then once I removed it put it back together and now the washing machine works like new. Many thanks 😎😀😀👍👍
Thank you so much, i literally followed your steps and there was so much blocking the filter got rid of it, ran a quick wash and heard everything pushing through and hurray it drained all the water. Your a star!!!!
Fabulous! Run an empty drum clean wash or 90c to flush it all through. How to Clean a Washing Machine to keep it Hygienically Fresh using Washing Machine Cleaner ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NbOUDxk7Yxw.html
Thank you so much ✌🙌. Had a to call out our maintenance person twice and they couldn't figure it out. But with your video it sorted the problem. Thank you again 🙌
Sounds like you need a new Maintenance person! Never mind at least you got it fixed, so glad I could help out virtually. Hopefully I've gained a new subscriber. Thanks for the comment. 😎
You treasure, mine was blocked with an elastic band, needed a narrow tray from a box of chocolates to empty the water without spilling it on the floor and there it was wrapped round the impeller, these postmen leave their elastic bands everywhere. Thank you - John
Idk if this works for everyone but i just ran the wash on small again hoping it would clear all the water and it cleared everything so i suggest trying that first
Your a legend sir, was just about to click confirm on a new washer then had the epiphany "let me check the interwebs and see if someone has any ideas". 15 mins later found a baby sock coiled around the rotary blades inside and a few hundred quid better off. Again, thank you good sir 👍👍
Thanks man. I was in denial that it could be the filter so soon after I last cleaned it out. But it turned out the culprit was a Covid-19 face mask blocking the filter and stopping the draining thing turning around. Note for all... if you’re washing and reusing masks, put them in a bag or something before putting them in the washing machine.
Glad I could help. Happy to help and thanks for the comment. Trying to grow my Channel and comments like this keep me motivated! Stay safe and happy washing! 😎
Thanks a million mate. I just removed a rubber coaster from my drain filter... et voila, the machine is working again. You just saved me a ton of money, and a lot of waiting... There's no IFB tech support where I live, and your video solved my problem for me. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your video. I love your presentation style. My machine has started to accumulate smelly water in the drum a few days after I've washed. I've started draining the filter after each wash. But the drum just starts to fill up gradually. And boy does it smell. Can't really figure out why smelly water is just appearing. It's not an easy one woman job to move the machine but I will give the easy bits a go first. Thank you again for your brilliant, and straight to the point video. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your kindness! This video is more than useful to me especially during this trying times of Covid19 was wondering how I was going to do my daughter's washing and then this! Am grateful ❤❤
Our washing machine wouldn't drain, rinse or spin. We thought we'd better check for tips before popping out to get a new machine. You saved the day, thank you so much for putting this video up, you're a star! Xxx
I was off to buy a new washing machine today and I thought I'd give RU-vid check, just to make sure I've tried everything... You've just saved me 400 quid. Bless you man 👍🏻
@@LurgsHowToGuides There is another reason as to why this can happen which I found today and cured, Funny that no advice on the internet or RU-vid that mentions it, took me around 15 minutes to fix it, now I wonder what it can be ?
This video has just saved me a call out charge. I'm not in anyway the handy person type but I followed the steps in this video (blimey washing machines are bloody heavy to move!) and managed to open the bottom filter. A colour catcher sheet was stopping the machine from draining. Pulled it all out, switched everything back on and hey presto it's working fine again. Thank you so much. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much...Had no machine and followed your video .I fixed iit! So happy it was so easy to follow..Hairbands were wrapped around that thing you unscrew at the front..I'm an old lady and it was a blessing I found your channel...Thanks a million 😄
I knew where the drainage pump was but no idea how to empty it Thankyou for the video hair clip half a dart flight and 5p came out mine !! Thanks again life saver xx
I’ve searched everywhere for a step by step and yours was by far the best! Can you please do a program setting video next if you haven’t already! Great vid thanks👏
I always have a great deal of respect for people like you who are willing to help others in there hour of need. God bless you brother!! I'm with you with the tea as well. 😁
Marvellous news, thanks for comment as it inspires me to carry on (had some horrible comments lately). Glad I could help and enjoy Oz, lovely place, I’ve been there twice.😎
I've just followed the steps, found 3 coins in my washing drainage, I'm sure that's what's causing my drainage problem. You've just saved me some money. Thanks so much
I have to say that I like your Kitchen it’s amazing I like how your pipes be hide your machine are don’t have pipes at the back are one we have sink one for the machine hose to pipe sink so but amazing video this helps thanks so much 👍🏻😉
good video, only comment I would give is to change the order of what you are doing, if it is just junk at the filter causing the drainage problem you don't need to go through all the steps before such as move out, check the U bend, check the drain hose, etc. if we have a drainage problem i check filter first as easily accessible (just put down PLENTY of towels!), then check the waste pipe (ours is the grey internal one not external) then on to things like the U bend, etc.
Good point. This video is 5 years old now so is one of my earlier ones. This one is a newer updated version in the correct order. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FwRbWKOwmfY.html
I watched this and managed to fix the washer/dryer in my uni flat without having to pay for a repair, someone before me left 2 hair pins and 50p wedged in the filter, thankyou so much😭
Thank you so much for the Donation, I really do appreciate it. Don't make much from adverts so this is very nice. Glad my video helped you out. Have a fabulous weekend. 😎
Thanks mate you just saved me a bundle on a new machine...I wonder how many people just scrap their machines when they’ve just got a bit of crap in the pump. !!!
Thank you sooo much been trying to get it working for days then at back of blade found a small bit of metal that came off jeans removed it now working perfect thank you sooooo much.

Thank you very much for this video you just saved me from purchasing another washing machine because I was really frustrated and don't know what to do until I came across your channel 🙂 😀 so grateful for this video
Thank you so much, ours wasn't draining properly and then stopped mid cycle while I was watching this. I don't have a clue about washing machines and thought "bugger need a new one" follows your tips and it was a colour catcher in the filter. Thank you so much!
Lurgs!!! You are a genius I retrieved not 1 but 2 hairpins!!!! Following your steps in your brilliant video exactly!!! Thank you a million times! Independence level 1000 ✅
Cheers buddy! I cleared out the drainage pump but my problem was an elasticated hair bobble wrapped around the base of the drainage pump fan. Much appreciated
