Zanussi Turbodry fills with water on Drying Cycle

[wendywoo]

Hi, I have a Zanussi Turbodry 1050, model WDS-1183W.
It's a washer/dryer and has recently started filling with water on the drying programs.
Regardless of how long you put the clothes on to dry, it starts to fill with water about 30 minutes into the program.

Any ideas?

washer dryers do use water to dry with, but as yours is filling up, it means either:

pump not working

pump partialy blocked

filter blocked

blockage in pipe from pump to outlet

Wow that was quick!! Thanks!

Apparently the tenants have notice water spilling outside as the outside drain must be blocked - maybe this has caused it to back up and block up the pump or a pipe.

I also have a Zanussi Turbodry 1050, model WDS-1183W.

It starts the spin programme and then slows down and just ticks over. I've checked the drain filter - and yes it was a bit clogged and I've cleared that - but so far no difference

Any suggestions gratefully received.
