I have a Zanussi ZWF1221F washing machine which is'nt getting rid of water and after a spin cycle the clothes are still pretty wet. Could it be the pump?.

    Thanks for rugbyscrumdown input but this is unlikely. A modern machine will not try and spin until the water level has reached empty. If this is not achieved within a few minutes the machine will usually shut down in a 'fault mode' with the remaining water in the drum. This would not just leave damp clothes but water in the drum as you unloaded.

  • possible slight blockage, have you cleaned the filter? If you run the machine on spin only after the end is it still wet? if not it is slightly blocked up, 1/4 packet of household soda crystals on 60 deg wash will sort it out( if you are in a hard water area) By rugbyscrumdown - Alton Hants - 11 December 2014

    If the drum is not full of water it is draining correctly. The most likely cause of your problem is out of balance. For more information see our video: How to Prevent a Washing Machines Spinning Noisily http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/7/2401/how-to-prevent-a-washing-machines-spinning-noisily-
