    Default Blocked washing machine

    Hey all,

    Just wondered if anyone else has come across this at all?

    The integrated Bosch machine was backing up slightly on the drain hole within the drum seal.

    I've taken the cover off and emptied the drain plug, but the filter doesn't seem to come out. Cap twists off with some "Popping" but the plastic behind it seems solid in place!

    Anyone come across this, presume there is a filter behind that?

    I had a similar sounding problem. Someone told me to flush it with loads of cheap vinegar and it seemed to sort it for me. Everything seemed shiny and new after and still working fine.

    Thanks to piggzy

    Half a bag of soda crystals in the drum and run it on the hottest wash, followed by a bottle of white vinegar again on the hottest wash....... works for me!

    Thanks to spyke

    Whats the model number, it looks like your filter has become detached from the screw in plug?

    Hmm thanks, I've taken the screws out to check the unit etc.

    I'll go the crystals way and vinegar route and then explore further, weird about the filter not being accessible though?
