Tricity Bendix washing machine aw1002w 6 months old. Will not empty and will not fill with water. Constant low 'whine' when turned on makes me wonder if it is the motor? Any ideas? No blockages as far as i know
 
Are you sure it's drawing water ok? Have you checked the connections and that the "tap" on the hose feeding the water is in the open position? Probably something simple.

i never moved the tap at all and it only malfunctioned yesterday
 
Its most likely that your machine is blocked by coins , hair bands / other foreign objects.
This happens reguarly to all washing machines .
The problem may lie in the enclosed unit at the back where water empties .

To fix problem , you may not need to open the enclosed unit , but just remove clip at each side and remove any foreign objects ........
 


blockages are more likely in the filter on the bottom right on the front.. it might be behind a clip on panel..
 
i'm guessing it's because if the drum is full of water that it can't empty, the machine won't draw in any more water.
oh i see 'scuse my ignorance i did not know that would stop it drawing in any more. I am gettiing a friend to look at it tomorrow. Thanks all
 
Thanks all, there was something caught in it alright. Free now. Happy new year all

I'll have 4 guesses ::>
  1. Coin
  2. Hair band
  3. pin
  4. Wire from Bra
Would be grateful if you would let us know if blockage was :
  • front
  • back
  • Inside a panel
  • outside a panel

I have a small door where the pump is on my machine, bottom right hand corner of front panel. Open unscrew the top and it was there.

After clearing I did a maintenance wash which is suggested in the booklet asat cotton 90 degrees, water leaked to floor , booklet says it was cos of wrong detergent.I think to hot too much foam. did 2 normal washes since and it is fine. if need more info post back help if can
