proaction wmns610p washing machine

Thomas_Holding

I have this washing machine and on Saturday we did a load no problems.
The next load we put it on, and after a few minutes it stopped.
The powder got wet but did not get washed in.

Research on line made us think that the filter could be the problem - however cleaning it did not fix it.

This was bought Dec 2016.
Can anyone suggest a fix - and if not get a pro to fix it or buy a new one?

(I think the previous washing machine lasted 9 years).

Brushes gone.

Thank you very much.
How difficult is it to replace oneself and how much would it cost to get someone in?

Albermarle

If is the brushes, someone will probably come and replace them for £100?

Can y you describe the start up ,ours is - door locks ,water starts to enter ,drum turns slowly etc.
What is yours doing and is it different from normal.
When you say powder gets wet ,is the water inlet hose ok? you have not pulled the machine out and nipped the hose ,is the filter in the inlet solenoid clear

Normal state
Turn it on
Water enters the powder container
It washes
It drains
It spins

New state

Normal state
Turn it on
A little bit of water enters the powder container
It turns a few times

It stops

We checked the filter at the front and cleaned it - found a 2 p coin and other things.
However there is no change, we have not pulled the machine out.
The weird thing is we did one load - fine second load stopped.

The filter you checked is the drain filter - not at all uncommon for that to get clogged with fluff, coins, whatever.  But if it was clogged, you'd have problems with the machine draining.

If it's not filling properly then there's something up with the water inlet somewhere along the line.  Pull the machine out, turn off the water supply and unscrew the water inlet hose.  There's a filter in there as well.  It's not so common for that to get gunged up, but nothing lost by removing it and giving it a bit of a swill out under the tap.

Check that the hose isn't kinked (unlikely if you've not had the machine out before, but worth checking whilst you're there).

Check that water is actually coming out of the supply properly (there should be a little blue plastic "mini-stop-tap", for want of a better description).  Get a bowl and/or an old towel underneath it, open the tap briefly, you should get a decent flow of water coming out.  If not, then it's an issue with the supply somewhere, rather than with the machine itself.

If the water supply is all good then there's a possibility that there's something wrong with the circuit board or the water level sensor.  Time to give your friendly local "Independent Domestic Appliance Repair Man/Woman" a call and see if they can help (hopefully you'll be able to find such an organisation in your locality, they're usually really helpful and a good chunk cheaper than the manufacturer's own engineers).

As you have not said so i presume there is no fault codes coming up on the led panel ( if it has one )
