Washing machine problems

Posted in Sunday Times Columns at 7:18 pm by Sarah

There’s water in the conditioner compartment. It’s very messy and won’t go away. I removed the drawer and examined it for any obvious blockages. Any thoughts?

    Just coz the ads annoy the head off me so much (and for the complete lack of help that it will be ;) I thought I should write:

    I’ve recently discovered, at a cost of 100 euro, that modern washing machines are designed to get blocked up by pop socks and those little sheets that catch floating dye – unless, that is, you buy a little net bag from the washine manufacturer!

    Sounds like you have a blockage between the container and the drum. And that would be caused by the conditioner or whatever was in the container. you could google for a solution

    Do what Saudi oil sheiks do when the ash-trays get full in their cadillacs: buy a new one. :)

    Try running the machine through a full (hot) wash cycle with no clothes or detergent or conditioner, if often unblocks things. Or causes a flood.
