Help With My Washing Machine

[Samuraisan]

I wonder if anyone out there can help. My washing machine worked fine this morning, I started another wash this evening but we had an unexpected water cut , so I switched off. The water has come back and it will fill with water but the drum doesn't move. It doesn't even make a sound. Any ideas ?

Can you drain out the water and start the cycle again?

[Samuraisan]

I tried that Tilly. No success. I emptied the water and took out the wet washing too and then tried. Nothing. It's funny that it's not even making a sound.

Have you checked that nothing on the consumer unit has tripped. If the socket where the washer is easily available try plugging something else in to check you have power.

[Tilly2]

Have you switched it off, unplugged it and turned it on again?

[Samuraisan]

The lights go on Donny and it fills with water.

Good thought Tilly , we used to leave the power off for a good 10 sec. before switching on again. It was the answer to a lot of IT. problems.

[donny48]

What make and model is it ?

[Samuraisan]

Yep, tired that Tilly. It' s not a very fancy one, come to think of it , it must be at least 7 or 8 years old. Oh god, I have baskets of clothes waiting to wash. :(

Thanks anyway Tilly. Luckily my daughter lives 50 metres away, so I will take this soaking load to her.
