    lou - I wouldnt use the raspberry vinegar. Just bung the machine on its hottest setting if you dont have soda crystals or vinegar. That should clear it :D[/q

    Last time I broke my machine, my lovely mending man told me I should do a boill wash once a month to clear all the globs and gunky bits out of the pipes and non pipey bits. I wash towels, sheets, undies work stuff etc on boil, and it seems to work.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.
