Hotpoint Ultima WF860 - water gushing out of soap tray

[mikeb14]

Please, please, please can anyone help. On our washing m/c during the rinse on about the first spin, water gushes out of the soap tray. I have:-
- cleaned the tray out
- removed the tray and compartment to check the hose down to the drum
- checked the pump for blockages
- renewed the control board

All fine. I am now at the point of being defeated

Any ideas out there?

Ok, update on the washing machine:-

I have just found a small cage with a ball in it at the water exit point on the drum. I am presuming this must be a filter cage as it was obviously doing a good job filtering a load of sweet wrappers, a buckle, an allen key and £1.83 worth of loose change. Started another cycle now so fingers crossed.

OK i have tried looking at the grey hose and it looks like its connected to something on the right....

I guess its a pump or something because there is a big black hose coming from the drum...

I know the i had 2 missing paddles and it decided to shew up some socks t-shirt ect and thats why its leaking from the soap draw.....

Anymore help in how to solve this problem would be cool..

Thanks again
