Thankyou all for your help.
Our machine could wash but would not pump out made a sort of grating noise.
Read thru lots of ideas re this problem.
a) draining very slow via the front drain tube so cleaned filter a few coins and nails but no better.
b) checked brushes >4cm and ok.
c) back washed the drain tube with hosepipe some gunk but no better.
d) Checked pump motor was running ok, with filter out you can see the impeller going round.
e) Refilled machine with water still draining slowly so felt along the main outlet tube all seemed ok
REMOVED main outlet tube from drum and found a childs Sock on top of the "ball" in the outlet tube.
Reassembled and now better than before as the dirty water all gets out rather than being filtered by the sock.
Hope this helps someone else.
